A semi guide for the Dell D600 with Leo4all v3

by: Turgo

 

This is a work in progress that I may or may not finish, here is what I got so far to get up and running i think...

well in still testing things. But i go it to work once so I'm reinstalling it again, and again.

 

update! I recently reinstalled and i couldn't get it to boot so i'm going to have to retry agian and change this guide.

 

Working:

Wlan on broadcom cards seem to work.

Sound

Lan - needs kext replaced first but works well.

usb ports work.

Not working:

No opengl hardware accelerations

Sleep mode

 

Haven't tested:

Ir port

serial port's

external monitor's

built in mic

Wlan intel based, cant test cause I have broadcom wlan card.

 

First off before you even boot up the install cd go to your bios and disable onboard lan controler,

and make sure intel speed step is on. You will be reenabling the lan after fixing the preinstalled kext later in this semi guide.

 

ACPIPlatform:

leave default

 

AppleSMBIOS:

Leave at default

Kernel:

update! I think it didnt boot because of this kernal.. im going to try the 9.2.0 non speedstep/sleep.

 

Netkas 9.2.0 speedstep kernel - be sure intel speed step is enables in the bios or the sysem will not start.

Note: The sleep kernel doesn't seem supported.

 

RemoveFireWire:

Select this, The Dell D600 don't have firewire.

 

Power Management:

select if you want, I'm currently testing to see if it even boots with it.

 

Chipset Drivers:

select Intel ICHx only.

 

Audio:

Select both of these.... I wasnt sure what one was needed, but it didnt hurt to have both.

AC97Audio

AzaliaAudio

 

Graphics Drivers:

don't select anything, by default you will get software acceleration and

a driver is needed to get any opengl hardware acceleration working.. I haven't figured out how to do this yet.

 

Network Drivers:

Select only this one.

Broadcom - WLAN driver for BCM4306/4309/4318/4320/4324

 

Good Applications:

don't select, it just gives you stuff you may not use and can download later if you really wanted it.

 

About this MAC:

Leave checked.

 

To replace the lan kext:

Boot into osx with onboard lan still disabled.

Delete the AppleBCM575x.kext file from your hard drive

at: System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleBCM575x.kext

Install kext from here Use this utility (Kext Helper) to install kexts here.

reboot and go to your bios and reenable onboard lan, it should be working.
