xover Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 This is great -- I want to try it tonight! Did you install Snow Leopard from scratch, or as a 10.5 upgrade? And is there a guide you can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xover Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Failed so far -- SL ended up just spinning the cursor while trying to boot the first time. I'll boot verbose next try and attempt to figure out the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icer One Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Failed so far -- SL ended up just spinning the cursor while trying to boot the first time. I'll boot verbose next try and attempt to figure out the problem. I was able to get almost everything working. Wireless Works, Graphics Card works, bluetooth works, time machine appears to work. I attempted to play DVD's as well as High Def movies and they play back perfectly. I attempted several different guides to get SL installed on my machine, it was a pain in the butt, but so far my D830 works great. What's not working so far is shutdown and sleep don't function, and the ethernet does not work either. I really don't care about the ethernet, it would be nice to get sleep to work properly but it's not really a deal braker. Also I used the 64bit drivers so I am running SL in 64 bit. Hopefully soon I can find the battery in 64 bit, the ethernet in 64 bit, and eventually get the sleep/shutdown/restart to function properly. Btw, on a side note, my laptop does not bootup unless I do a -f upon booting up, I am not really sure why, but it's the only way I can get my system to start.

Dell D830 here had to swap intel wireless for dell wireless still no known driver for intel wirless. blutooth working internet working , native graphics working , battery working, shutdown and restart working with modified DSDT. native audio working with DSDT mods. do you have a working intel wireless?

almiller5 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I just updated to thr 10.6.5 but have a kernel panic....can anyone guide what to do next? Im newbie in this.. Thanks in advance OK I am a total Newbie to Mac also but the last 5 days have been the most fun I've had since my TRS 80 got a 16K RAM card. This all started as a New Years day project to install Snow Leopard on a Dell D630 that I had sitting around. 500 boots later I'm close. You don't give much information in your post but from what little I have seen in the last 5 days if you are using the D620/D630/D820 Kext pack and installer provided by slic at the top of this post the most likely guess is the sleep enable kext. is causing your panic At your boot prompt use -v for a verbose listing of the boot process. When it dumps look at the stack dump and it seems to say which kext killed it. For me the Sleep has killed it every time. There is probably an updated sleep kext but I haven't worried about sleep yet. I have a D630 with the X3100 video. Running 10.6.5 with Cameleon boot loader 2.3? I have everything running ie smooth track pad, sound, wired eithernet, firewire, modem, CD/DVD but somewhere along the line my USB ports died. I'm about to wipe the drive and start over (20th time?) from 10.6.2 and go step by step to see where I kill the USB. I think it happens when I load the combo pack to 10.6.5. At one point I had everything including bluetooth and USB wireless but no native keyboard or trackpad. I hope its not a situation of keyboard/trackpad or USB as that is a hard choice neither of which is good. Voonwah if you want to work together PM me to see if we can get over the top. Anybody else if you could throw me a USB bone I'd be most appreciative. Ive tried backdating the IOUSBFamily and IOUSBMassStore to no avail. Im afraid I'm about to learn about DSTS editing.

You don't need to re-install. Just do some research. If you had you would have found that it is common problem (10.6.5 & usb) To fix http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1583392 And apparently 10.6.6 update fixes the USB problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed logical to me so I did that several times. Unfortunately for me it didn't fix anything. I do like the idea of 10.6.6 fixing it. Ill try that next Thanks.

Currently I'v got a 99% working d630. I had to replace the Intel Wireless (4956) with a dell 1505 wireless card from ebay ($13 USD). I've got everything working except my Shutdown / Restart. It Wont restart at all, and when I use shutdown it restarts. Not sure how to fix this, so looking for advice. I know it requires a DSDT edit, but this makes me nervous so I've lived with it for now. For the record, I also need to use -f to get the system to boot properly. if I don't use the -f option on boot, it boots to the osx desktop, but it does not initialize graphics. I'm looking for information on how to fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: Success. 97% perfect Dell D630 running 10.6.6. (no sleep or shutdown) Myproblem turned out to be AppleHPET.kext. Took that out and USB function was immediately restored. I am actually a little ashamed of how long it took to get to this stage. Of course part of it was spent on basic knowledge base like how to navigate what plist and aml files are l where files are kept on MACs etc. Thanks for the 1000's of posts that others have been good enough to post and for the guides. This would have been a real mans job in 2007/2008 before there was such a body of knowledge. Now on to dual boot my dell M4500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
