I really appreciate your help. Sorry I don't know much about hackintosh I'm Newbie :(

I have OS X 10.10 'Yosemite' working quite well on my Dell Latitude e6400 with almost the exact same specs as you accept my CPU: 3.06 GHz and RAM Memory: 8 GB. Ā  Ā I skipped creating an installer and instead removed my Latitudes HD, placed it in an external firewire enclosure and hooked it up to a real Mac Book Pro. Ā  Instead of formatting to MBR, I formatted the entire hard drive in GUID & Mac Extended Journaled. Ā  Once the install was complete, I then installed Clover in "Legacy Mode" where you reformat the invisible Apple EFI partition to Fat32 and install Clover in the ESP while making all the appropriate selections (as pictured).

Ā 

Initially, the only kext files I used in getting Yosemite to boot were the ethernet kext, the new slice/netkas FakeSMC.kext and NullPowerManagemnet.kext. Ā  My EFI/Clover/kexts/other folder now contains only those * as pictured * as I have since found the NullPowerManagement.kext is not needed. Ā  Ā As I first mentioned, I was happy to discover that OS X 10.10 runs rather well on my E6400 with several notable exceptions. Ā  As my Intel WiFi does not even work in Mavericks, I had been using a USB wireless adapter with a Ralink driver installed however that driver is not working in Yosemite so I am using an ethernet connection for internet. Ā VoodooHDA 2.8.5 provides sound but it is very lack luster (alot of crackling and of poor quality) so I have instead hooked up a USB Audio Interface for audio. Ā  VoodooBattery is also quite sporadic but it's the best I have been able to find as the patchedĀ AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext does not work for me in Mavericks either.

Ā 

Aside from that and for such an early release, I am actually surprised how smooth and stable Yosemite operates. Ā It took a bit of effort though I was even able to get both iMessages and FaceTime to work as well ! Ā  I am generally quite satisfied that my Latitude e6400 continues to be compatible with Apple's latest OS X releases and I am looking forward to seeing it run Yosemite once further improvements/developments and updates are made.

I don't use any of that and I've tried with the kext from your bootpack and also with that for 10.10 (dp5), I had fix permission and it isn't working :C

can you save and upload a ioregistryexplorer file?

do you start with kext-dev-mode=1

I've change to MacbookPro 5,2 Smbios.plist and use Kextutility to fix permission but nothing change :P Gui is still little laggy and sound doesn't work :(


Wow! I've one more time download your Extra pack. Every kext drag to Kextutility, and delete from /E/E and reboot, now in sound option settings and Midi I have my internal speakers and everything is set :) Thank you man ! :D You make my day! :D
