Ml2 install I disabled nvidia in setup In l2 I've taken all graphics out in windows but both still end up just black screen Tried -x -v can't see any errors will not boot to GUI Any ideas Can't seem to find much to download for the xps i5 seems all the dsdt are for i7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Re done the USB stick Booted using clover because holding 1 on boot doesn't do anything Added screen img It did eventually after 10 mins boot into GUI so I started installation but same again at the end get this message Tried the hd with -v but gets upto missing Bluetooth control hangs there for 10 mins and just re boots to clover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello No idea about this, but... Try configure your Bios: http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 trying the image again using SDB instead of win32 checked my BIOS from that link few items I cant find? would that matter Checked BIOS only thing I noticed is ACPI was set to legacy not ACPIcould this be cause!? Trying another install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello Maybe, only testing... try set up it...Your mobo is UEFI??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Where can I check that out? They is options in BIOS regarding UEFI so assume so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 HelloEnable or Disable only what your mobo has ... and test that thing about ACPIApparently your mobo isn' t UEFI ... What you have to do now is to test ...Did you try boot even after installing and receive installation fails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 failed again on both settings regarding ACPI yes I have just tested the HDD install I let it boot into clover using USB then just click the HDD with -v holding 1 doesn't work to bring up the other boot installer same again gets to the screen saying "missing Bluetooth controller transport!" but from the HDD it doesn't go any further just reboots back into clover do I need to delete graphic kexts using transmac in windows? is that why the installation is failing at the end then? because my motherboard isn't UEFI?

Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 HelloIt is possible that there isn't changing the bootloader ... try pressing 1 while a cursor is blinking ...But you can boot the Chameleon, is not it? But it is not just restart?Try booting with UseKernelCache=YesYou only have to add or delete kext if you can not get the installation, but you can only installation failure... so isn't necessary delete or add nothing.Try to install again and boot even if the message failed installation ...You have the option to choose UEFI? If not, is because your mobo isn't UEFI, like my mobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Deleted all graphics apart from intel3000 ones and this is what I get Sits on this screen for 10 mins Eventually brings up setup screen but can't move the curser Touchpad doesn't work USB mouse doesn't work Keyboard caps lock light works when pressed Nope on boot up pressing 1 doesn't do anything just boots into clover The above images are booting up after installation failed only when I delete graphics kexts But curser doesn't move touchpad or mouse won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello I fogot that you have 2 GPU, but in future you'll need use Intel HD3000 and disable Nvidia card in Bios Try boot with UsbFix=Yes... try UseKernelCache=Yes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Has it's loading now with the 2 added lines usbfix etc I notice this on screen But still won't move? Not looking like this install is gonna happen am I best trying a different install type? 10.8 or 10.7 instead of this 10.8.5 Or different method?

Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello I don't think another version of OS would make a difference ... your CPU is supported and your graphics too ...But making a hack laptop is quite complicated so ... we'll test another OS version.Don't forget to disable the dedicated graphics(Nvidia)in the Bios.

dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 its strange how I only have clover on this usb boot not chameleon! ill download and try 10.8 in bios u cant tell which graphic card is what doesn't say names? All I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello Choose IGD or PEG but don't choose PCI, because PCI is of Nvidia graphic I noted that your bios was modified, isn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah I believe the a19 bios is a unlocked bios from dell to play about more with it By changing the graphics to either one u say does that mean when using windows it still will be disabled?

Pimentel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 HelloModify Bios brings many problems to the user ... mainly power management proeblemsHas this issue on Windows ... i had never stopped to think about this, but I believe it won't be proeblems because optmus technology(switching between the graphics)is supported in Windows then I believe that Windows will use both the HD3000 as Nvidia, but in a hack optimus technology isn't supported, so it can only use one GPU. Because this you need disable Nvidia GPU in Bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 windows works fine between the both before coming on here ive tried to install iatkos l2 and ml2 because I have noticed someone on there as installed using both his graphics card but he as i7 cpu in his so the dsdt files aren't correct for mine that all installed fine but could never get it booted afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave20v Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Install the 10.8 to USB booted and brings up chameleon -v on boot but getting still waiting for root device Tried npci=0x2000 Still the same Tried a different USB port and it's not coming up with waiting on root now Booted with just -v npci=0x2000 but it just hangs at this point Right gone into bios and changed my graphics to IGD assuming that's the intel 3000 And just boot with -v straight into Mac OS X installing fingers crossed should install fine!

Pimentel Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hello So that means maybe everything works ...I also hope to install fine, but if failed again(I hope not)Try booting anyway to test... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
