OtaK Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hello, I recently tried to install SL (via iATKOS S3 v2) on my Dell Vostro 3450, and it resulted in a kernel panic from the installer when booting it. Here are the specs : Intel Core i5 2410M 6GB DDR3 Intel HD 3000 + AMD HD6630M (hybrid graphics) Intel HM67 chipset The rest is quite normal stuff, so it should be supported. Any idea on how to boot the install disc at least ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtaK Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Here it is I booted with -x -v args, as I was doing with my main computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 so u have issues with RTC and u need also VoodooTSCSynch.kext also notice how 1/2 of the cpu is used. (disabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtaK Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 How to inject that kext into the iATKOS ISO ? And also, that's strange, I only have 4 logical CPUs, including 2 physical, and still it detects 8 of those. Is it a problem with latest generation Sandy Bridge processors ?

notywtr Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Don't know if this will help, but I notice that the Dell Vostro 3450 uses the same BIOS as the Inspiron 14R N4110. I wrote up a guide for installing Lion on the N4110 (tho I don't have the hybrid graphics) and it might be useful to you.

OtaK Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Seems a quite complex and long method of installation, moreover, it requires installing SL. My problem is that I can't even boot the installer of SL, it kernel panics while loading :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtaK Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Nope, didn't try that option, I only tried with the iATKOS DVD, thought it'd be a better alternative. I guess I'm gonna try that then. Just one question : I must not break my existing install of Win7, with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], will it allow me to install it on a MBR-based disk alongside my existing Win7 + Debian ?

OtaK Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Bump : I remembered why I don't have such. I simply can't burn dual layer dvds. I'll ask a friend who has a MBP then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notywtr Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Just one question : I must not break my existing install of Win7, with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], will it allow me to install it on a MBR-based disk alongside my existing Win7 + Debian ? The retail snow leopard install disk will only install on a GPT formatted disk. That's why in my guide I have it install on an external GPT formatted drive and then copy it over to the MBR formatted internal drive. But before you try that, you might want to just test if you can boot with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and get the installer running without a kernel panic. If it does, then it might be worth the effort with the rest of the guide. Another way of installing on MBR is by restoring the installer disk to a usb drive or writeable sparsefile and modify the osinstall files to allow it to install to a MBR formatted drive. Search this site for osinstall and mbr for guides on how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 i dont do hybrid.. too much problems eventually. u can use a 8 gb usb instead of dual layer and install chameleon2, fakesmc.kext and dsdt.aml moded to it and boot it. to do it. the 10.6.3 retail dmg is restored with disk utility to GUID hfs journaled formated usb. check the box to erase drive.

OtaK Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Looks like a way better idea, I actually have a 8GB usb key and it works to boot on it (moreover, it's pretty fast so). LatinMcG, btw, do you really think it's worth to use a retail image instead of an iso like iATKOS (if this one doesn't work) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatinMcG, btw, do you really think it's worth to use a retail image instead of an iso like iATKOS (if this one doesn't work) ? the only time i recommend a distro is to make a bootable usb for retail install= yes use retail. with dsdt.aml for that model board modified for mac in /Extra and fakesmc.kext in /Extra/Extensions and possibly nullcpupm.kext also if needed btw on dells usualy hdd can be added. buy second hdd caddy and a second hdd. (more reliable than having to fix boot sector monthly) http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?ma...products_id=309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtaK Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hm well, I'll try that when I'll have the time and also when I won't need my laptop for everyday use (holidays for eg)... The thing I'm also afraid of is autonomy of the battery, I have a 9 cells on it that takes easily 8+ hours of work with a full charge under Windows7, but under Linux (Debian Squeeze), it lasts approx. 4 hours... Just hope it's better on MacOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtaK Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Update : Used iATKOS L2 (Lion 10.7.2) and it works. Just one point, the AMD HD6630m is not recognized (causes system not to boot) and I'm looking to force MacOS to use the HD3000 inside my i5, any ideas ?

Just one point, the AMD HD6630m is not recognized (causes system not to boot) and I'm looking to force MacOS to use the HD3000 inside my i5, any ideas ? I have same model with you and install iatkos L2. HD6630 not yet support on mac I think. i managed to boot mac os x lion. What i did was after finish install iatkos L2 then reboot it but make sure you insert rBoot LE cd then from the boot menu chose your mac osx with/without -v then i run [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 4.1.0: Lion Edition.. install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], systems utilities, bootloader & etc etc.. after that reboot. reboot without rBoot LE cd. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtaK Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Did the same, Installed L2, rebooted, modified smbios.plist through windows (or via terminal on L2's disc) to a MacBook Pro 8,2's one, then it booted, had to install PS/2 kext to have keyboard / trackpad (without multitouch though, acts as a mouse, if you have better, just let me know, because I tried the other driver around, and it doesn't work at all, even if it loads). Wifi (Intel 1030) doesn't work, had to buy a wifi dongle (TRENDnet TEW-648UBM, they have drivers for MacOS, just install the ones for SL, they work under Lion). The big problem is the battery, 4h at most with my 9cells... :/ I'm pretty sure it's because the 6630m is still working, even while being disabled.

artur_pt Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 hello good morning try to remove the ati kext, make a copy of them, and remove ati6000controller and atiradeonx3000 (all) are several atiradeonx3000 and see if intelhd3000 works and see this http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=736 good hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtaK Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 My point is, I don't want it to be even activated. My HD3000 runs, and runs smoothly enough for what I need under MacOS, and moreover it's energy efficient, so. Do you know how to disable it (I mean, the chip not to be powered at all) ? On a side note, did anyone succeeded to have multitouch trackpad working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
