Alex DeWolf Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hello All: I have a Lenovo Y480 bought in Nov 2012: I7 (Sorry I don't know the model) 8GB DDR3 RAM 750 GB HDD (GUID) Intel 4000+Nvidia 630M Dell wireless (bought from ebay) Intel Gigabit ethernet Bluetooth dongle I was able to install Mountain Lion and the update to 8.2 went fine. The only things not working: No QE/Ci for the Intel GPU: Unknown: Chipset Model: Unknown Type: GPU Bus: Built-In VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x0166 Revision ID: 0x0009 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes The builtin Ethernet is not working. Battery is not recognized. I have a dual boot with Linux (Manjaro Linux an Arch Linux derivative) using UEFI and GUID and ML. I am not able to get Chamelon to install as the default bootloader or to get grub2 to boot ML. I have to use the USB installer. I installed using the iaktos ML.

WaldMeister Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Intel Core i7-3630QM For the HD4000 you can add the following to your org.chamelion.boot. plist: <key>device-properties</key> <string>7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000004006601140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d32</string> Go for a vanilla installation. http://www.insanelym...-for-beginners/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285761-lenovo-y480-got-ml-installed/#findComment-1881895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex DeWolf Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 The CPU is working but I notice this from the dmesg command: WARNING: IOPlatformPluginUtil : getCPUIDInfo: this is an unknown CPU model 0x3a Also I install Chamelon but grub2 still is the bootloader.

WaldMeister Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 What is the current setup? Windows/Linux/OSX? How did you partition? Multiple HDD's? If grub still loads, you have to set the OSX partition active, or the chameleon partition if you have used the GPT method for installing chameleon. If OSX is on 1 HDD, an no other operating system is installed on that HDD, just boot from that HDD, grub should not load then, instead chameleon should pop up.

Alex DeWolf Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 So I installed another HDD and installed Iatkos ML2 using GPT no UEFI.

WaldMeister Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just for the troubleshoot, can you boot? You switched to chameleon? Since it can not find the boot.plist?

Alex DeWolf Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Ok I am able to boot and I did find the chamelon boot.plist file. I put in your HD4000 string in the org.chamelion.boot . plist and got 4 small screens on the display. Any ideas on how to fix that?

WaldMeister Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 What do you mean with 4 small screens? 4 times the desktop or something? Can you make a screenshot? I used the EFI string i found somewhere on the net, worked for me, is the same one i shared with you. Did you delete the nvidia kexts? What happens if you boot without the efi string, is everything except the acceleration and resolution ok? So no screen tearing etc..
