macq Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 What is a source kernel? And that kernel I uploaded is the 10.8 kernel. well, apple releases kernel sources after a little while of a particular release,then only one can lapic patch the kernel and compile it. But its surprising no one has attempted to provide a chameleon build that can patch the kernel on the fly for HP users given the fact that DV6and DV7 are quiet popular laptops among buyers,and I am sure must be a significnt percentage of hackintoshers. I think that such a fix was /is possible in right hands. Guess all one can say is,its our bad luck (damn the hp bios). . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komano Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Right! So I need dsdt for dv7t 6100 please! I believe i have mentioned on how to obtain your DSDT before. You don't need anybody's else. Get em yourself. Hi i have a dv5-1080ev with lion 10.7.3.i installed lion only with iatkos l2 image(update directly from software update) and is working almost flawless.i need help to create a dsdt.aml for this to enable sleep and use audio built-in an no the voodoohda 2.7.3 which i am using now. my laptop has a intel high definition audio 8086:293e, which alc kext it need's ? forgive me for my english Look at my answer above. For the audio kext, do a lspci -nn in Ubuntu and find out what Codec you have. Hey everyone I got the DV3-2154 CA, I am booting 10.6.7. As of now everything works except ethernet, microphone, webcam and wifi Wifi and qe/ci are incompatible but does anyone know where I could find drivers for webcam and mic? I also tried to get ethernet up and running but it has been a no go. Also seems to work fairly well, is there any reason I would want to apply a DCDT patch (I havent yet). Thanks! Webcam is usually supported, no idea for that. Microphone is definitely related to your Audio Kext. What Ethernet Chip does your computer have? and Yes there are a lot of reasons why you would want to use a DSDT. People in this thread need to provide more information. @All the Sandy Bridge Users I'm not sure about your Kernel Panics but anyone of you give me a direct link to your bios files?

kurtosavros Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks Taptun. I updated to 10.7.3 and changed the kernel, and everything worked fine, with no complications at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmal Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 hi guyz, i need to ask you a DV8 question : I own a dv8t-1100 laptop with i7 720 cpu and atheros wifi (with modded F25 bios) and i am beginning to have big problems with wifi switch that often become red and wifi stops working. Even if i press it again after a few seconds it turns red again. I also did the modifications trying to reduce interference problems,but the problem is still there. is there a way to disable the switch making it "always on" for wifi and bluetooth and continuing to have volume slider working? The problem is under osx and win7 with atheros wifi card(under win7,i also see bass/treble osd moving by itself!). With intel original one(win7 only), it seems that everything is working fine. Thanks! mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonsoul81 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi guys. I followed this threat from day one and got me a nice fully working 10.6.4 dual boot setup on my dv6 2150g with mammoths guide and a lot of trying. Since my Windows crapped on me i decided to reinstall osx with amer´s usb installation method. The only dsdt that worked for me was using nixuns patcher with the generic dv i setting. After installation i got everything working with taptuns 10.7.2 kernel.....except for graphics. The about window shows display 3 mb i got no acceleration and resolution is fixed at 1024x768. I tried changing vendor number in applegraphicspowermanagement kext, aty_init, graphics enabler but all to no avail. I´m kindly and kinda desperately asking if any of you guys could help me out on this one? I´d really appreciate it and attach my dsdt just in case. Big thanks in advance, greetings to mammoth should you take at a look from time to time and thanks to amber for the lion usb method for our notebooks. Have a nice day. Greetings Dragonsoul Got it sorted...i had to use dsdteditor---autopatcher would abort....now everything is working flawless. :-)) Thanks a lot guys. dsdt.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus the Great Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks for clearing that up!

bugsyb Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi All, I've read through this thread and many others and whilst I gained a lot of knowledge I'm getting mad at the same time. I've tried multiple guides using as starting point Mammoth Method and other tutorials and I can't get past first boot of my HP dv7-6b55dx from USB/CD whilst at the same time I've successfully installed 10.7.3 under Virtual Box. Is this possible at all to get installed 10.7.3 on this laptop? Probably I'm just missing DSDT.aml but even if I tried with couple of them it didn't work well. As the system is based on HM65 chipset, maybe it would be better to jump direclty to 10.8? Please advise. Below is a list of the most related threads and guides I've tried http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=250849&st=1260 and other forums, etc. http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=170&t=53053&p=329694#p329694 http://www.osx86.net/notebooks/13458-boot-shut-down-problems-my-hp-pavilion-dv7-6b55dx-3.html I've also tried: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=170&t=42634 http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=170&t=50017 https://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=170&t=35536&start=20 https://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?t=34889&p=219522 Whilst I know I'm missing something, probably small but important detail it drives me even more mad as I don't usually have any problems with even playing with Linux kernel sources. Please help me jumping on the right rails. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightness is SO LOW and i cannot increase or decrease it! And is there a schematics for modifying the touch panel so that i can disable the wifi touch button to have it "always on" (i have the annoying problem of auto-switch-off due to interference...no way to go).

Jinex2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Here is What I have done while we all wait for Taptun's patched kernel Download the 10.7.3 combo update copy your current 10.7.2 kernel to your desktop copy your current audio Kext ( patched apple HDA) etc to your desk top Run the combo update and reboot with flag cpus=1 log into iCloud and face time to make sure they are working, and do not log out delete the new apple HDA kext and install your previous audio kext copied earlier delete the mach_kernel from root and replace it with the 10.7.2 mach_kernel (Taptun's patched 10.7.2 kernel renamed mach_kernel) run kext utility to repair permissions and rebuild cache reboot as normal and all your 4 cores will be working this time HP DV8 1080 EA (UK version) core i7 with Nvidia GT 230 graphics Noticed a slight geek bench score rise 6089 pre update and 6403 post update Could you please upload your 'Extra' folder.
