Danv Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I have manage to install vanilla OSX 10.6.0 then updated to 10.6.4 on my Dell XPS M1530... I have also installed Windows 7 prior installing OSX and the usual bootmgr got broke and then I fix it with the Windows CD. And now, I have two working OS but can't get Charmeleon on EFI to boot them without my boot cd (DellSnowCD something like that). And I think my shutdown/reboot/sleep problems are link to DSDT thing which is part of Chameleon. Can you guys help me to install it and where can I find the good kexts to put in the Extra folder ? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danv Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I gave up about putting Chameleon on EFI, I put it on Snow' partition and get done with it... start working with the kext now... I used the ones that was on DellSnowCD but I am still missing features like touchpad, sleep, reboot, and audio in. I used a DSDT somewhere on this forum and now shutdown is working but I lost audio (in and out). Can you guys help me ? Thanks!

Danv Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Alright alright, I know I have Google.. you don't have to do this over here.. it's newbie zone. Anyway, I figured out sound with VoodooHDA and Sleep/Restart with OSXRestart.kext and SleepEnabler.kext !! All I need now is a way to cool down this Dell... the fan are always blowing at max... and its hot as hell.. I used to have temp with Coolbook but I think I changed something and now, I can't see them anymore. Oh yeah, and scrolling on this trackpad... even 1-finger scroll could be good... LOL So nice to have Sleep yipeeee haha. and sound back also LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
