ytrox Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Graphics card. Which one you have? gma, ati..? Boot using -s and delete graphics kexts, just for boot.. For usb: install chameleon rc5 last releases. Add to dsdt the 10.6.8/lion mods. Look at the guides in the blogs to make dsdt for inspiron 6400, 1500 etc Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/266939-problematic-lion-install-on-dell-inspiron-6400/#findComment-1742932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytrox Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I don't know nvidia cards but I'm sure you need graphicsenabler/efistring/dsdtinjection/enabler. find a way to get that card working. I suggest efi string. If you can't boot try -x or -s (then remove nvidia drivers in s/l/e "sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/NVDA*"). The first notification is about the cache (Lion has many problems with caches, anyway there are some fixes, maybe this flag works in c.a.b.p usekernelcache=yes) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/266939-problematic-lion-install-on-dell-inspiron-6400/#findComment-1743095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboyz Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Try to boot with "GenerateCStates=Yes" i tried that, GenerateCStates and GeneratePStates, still nothing, those were the first flags i tried, after seeing that the C-State management failed, if you guys want a video i could make one also.
