Dell Inspiron N5110 15R without Nvidia (HD3000 only)

[bacizone]

Hi,

 

Here is the laptop where I'd like to run Lion:

 

Dell Inspiron N5110 15R

- Modell No: PJ8PW (WITHOUT NVIDIA GFX, just the HD3000 in i7)

- i7-2630QM Intel Core i7 2630QM 2000Mhz

- 8192 Mb DDR3 1333Mhz

- x0116 HD3000 ONLY! (NO NVidia GT525 or similar!!!)

- 640 Gb (5400 rpm) HDD

- SATA / DVD-Super Multi Double Layer

- 15,6 ” LED

 

All the hackintosh descriptions I found refer to the DELL N5110 with the additional NVIDIA graphics, with DSDT's, etc. This new DELL 5110 does not have built-in Nvidia gfx anymore.

 

My problem:

First I installed OS X SL 10.6.8, worked well apparently, but the machine produced huge lags when using App Store or Chrome - 5 sec freeze, then works for another 7-8 sec, another 3-4 sec freeze, then works again.

 

Then I managed to install OS X Lion 10.7.0 with Chameleon bootloader, the problem is much less apparent, but still exists. It uses SMBIOS 8.1

Seems to be a HD3000 issue.

 

Do you have any idea how to fix this issue or what to check?

 

Or.. is there a step-by-step setup for the Dell N5110 15R without the Nvidia card?

 

Thanks!

You should change to SMBios MacBookPro 8,2. It is matching your cpu. In 8,1 is no i7 qm.
