Chameleon 2.1 r1768 Startup Issues - Dell Latitude E6510

[rgrover91]

I think I'm almost there... as stated earlier, I can only boot into the system with a USB drive using the following command:

 

-v npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=YES

 

When I try it booting from the hard drive, if I do the same thing I get the PCI Configuration Begin message. My org.chameleon.Boot.plist looks like this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">'>http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

I tried to reinstall the Chameleon 2.1 r1768 installed and I ran "Kext Permissions" and "Tag Cache Rebuild" scripts with Kext Helper B7.

 

I need help and I have done everything I know how to do. Can someone offer any more advice on this?

UPDATE:This is what is going on right now and I have tried everything suggested and everything I can think of... I have Lion 10.7.2 running on my Dell Latitude E6510 with a few issues that I have been working hard to resolve.

 

The first issue is that I can only boot up with the USB drive and using the following command line options:

 

-v npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=YES

 

If I try to boot with out the USB Drive, the system gets hung up with a "PCI configuration begin" message. I originally installed the system with [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] as instructed by tonymac86.com. The real problem comes when I try to install [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] or [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url]. The system will crash, so I installed Chameleon v2 r1777 and Chameleon Wizard. That seems to make my system stable, and I tried setting these options in Chameleon Wizard:

 

Boot Flags:

GUI

Default Partition hd(0,2)

 

Misc:

npci=0x2000

32-bit

Ethernet Built in

System Type 2-Laptop

 

Graphics:

Graphics Enabler

 

Here is a copy of my org.chameleon.Boot.plist:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Default Partition</key>

<string>hd(0,2)</string>

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>npci=0x2000</string>

<key>PCIRootUID</key>

<string>0</string>

<key>SystemType</key>

<string>2</string>

<key>arch</key>

<string>i386</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

No matter what I do or check nothing seems to work.

 

My other issues are:

 

My internal keyboard and track pad work but the system keeps saying that they are not connected, so I have to have a mouse and keyboard connected at all times.

 

I installed drivers for my printer and scanner, and the system sees the hardware but yet it will not use them. Example, if I try to add a printer it ill not see the unit.

 

Finally, I still need to get the wireless network card to work.

 

I have been fighting the good fight for a couple of weeks, and I love Lion so far. I just need to get these items fixed so I can finally declare that I am done. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
