xangel9626 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 @Druvix - I don't use servers, but if I did, I don't think I would use a laptop. Other than that, it should work just fine. @Phiber - I'd request a new group.......

xangel9626 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 @capotchino - try manually assigning an IP address and see if that works. I'll see what I can do to get DHCP working for you later. Intel wifi cards will not work, I don't think anyone has been successful.

xangel9626 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Does your org.chameleon.Boot.plist have Max_valid_dma_addr=1024 in it? Also, did you follow the post installation steps in the first post or the ones in post #84 on page 5?

capotchino Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yes it contains : max_valid_dma_addr=1024 drakewake=0 Should i remove drakewake=0? And yes i followed the post steps on page one, am i wrong??

xangel9626 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Darkwake just helps with waking from sleep. It would be best if you use the post installation from page 5 since it contains the exact files and steps you need. The best advice is to follow my steps exactly using only the files that I have given, then if you need to modify anything for your specific configuration, do so after you are able to get your system running. Ethernet should work properly if everything was done correctly. Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge to get everything correct in one shot. One other thing, could you post your system configuration in your signature? It helps us know what we are looking for when we try to correct problems.

capotchino Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah you are right I'm using your smbios and dsdt cuz i dont have mine is there any problem ? Thanks xangel9626 I will give it a try and tell you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294448-guide-install-mac-os-x-109-mavericks-on-dell-inspiron-1720vostro-1700-with-nvidia-graphics/page/5/#findComment-1995689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xangel9626 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Since you were able to get a booting system before using my smbios and DSDT, you are good. The kexts that I provided should get other system devices working properly with exception to your Intel wifi card. Keep me informed of your progress.

capotchino Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I tried all steps on page 5 but still the same issue tried ip manually but the same .... Should i use Ethernet built-in on chameleon.boot ??

xangel9626 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 You could try Ethernet built in, but you shouldn't need it. If you are using the AppleBCM440Xethernet kext, then it should be working with the only needed addition of Max_valid_dma_addr=1024 in the chameleon.boot.plist. Try deleting your Ethernet in system preferences and adding it back and see if that changes anything.

capotchino Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have already tried Ethernet built in and removed Ethernet and added it back but still self assigned ip and reinstalled mavericks but nothing changed I'm sorry man for annoying u with my problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294448-guide-install-mac-os-x-109-mavericks-on-dell-inspiron-1720vostro-1700-with-nvidia-graphics/page/5/#findComment-1995955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xangel9626 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 You're not annoying me, the reason I made this is to help people that need help. I'm assuming that you plugged an Ethernet cable in and tried using safari?

xangel9626 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Try deleting com.apple.alf.plist in the /Library/Preferences/ folder, then restart your computer. Once the computer restarts, you might have to accept some prompts about allowing incoming connections. Also, did you install 10.9 then upgrade to 10.9.1 or are you did you install straight to 10.9.1?

capotchino Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I will try it right now ...Yes i have installed 10.9.1 directly is this the problem ? there are two mavericks versions : (13A603) (13A598) which onw i should download ?

xangel9626 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I read that sometimes there are issues with IP addresses when upgrading from one version to the next. Build 13A598 is the Gold Master, while 13A603 is the retail release. I started with 10.9 from the App store, got everything working, then upgraded to 10.9.1. Installing 10.9.1 downloaded from the App store should work with my instructions.

capotchino Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 You mean installing 10.9 from the app store should get everything work right not 10.9.1 from app store u'm downloading now the 13a603 version Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294448-guide-install-mac-os-x-109-mavericks-on-dell-inspiron-1720vostro-1700-with-nvidia-graphics/page/5/#findComment-1996093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xangel9626 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm saying that you should be able to use retail 10.9 or retail 10.9.1 and they should both work the same using my instructions. I'm not sure though, but it's always possible using 10.9.1 for the install might cause issues. For your wifi card, I'm assuming you don't have any other cards you can try out to see if you can get wifi working?
