carbo178 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 You need a USB keyboard and mouse, only until the first access to the system, then you will install the kext for PS2.If you had created the USB with Pandora you could choose options for laptop and keyboard and mouse would work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbo178 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Perhaps the pendrive was not created properly, I suggest you create the USB with Pandora (see the guides) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south4769 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ok ive been messing around with pandora for a little bit and it is very confusing! Ive been trying to find tutorials but no good one have came up. I found one but it does not give a lot of detail so it is confusing. Do you know of any good guides for pandora?

south4769 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 done!!! thank you! pandora works good! just one question, what do i do with post installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styrian Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 You can install some for your hardware neccessary kexts. I suggest to use the backup funktion by installing the kexts. If they are not working, you can install the original ones back, if they get replaced by install. Very specific kexts, like the applehda. kext you should try to find with the platform search here. You can also try to install an applehda.kext, that is working on an other Dell device. But the device has to have the same alc chip. Using voodoohda is the last, I do, to get sound working. With pandora kexts you should get any kind of ethernet nic, usb and nearly all sata chipsets get fully recognized and working. Just explore the postinstall package. Im sure you will find for you usefull things. The in Pandora included bootloader can updated here in the Downloads. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
