morpheousman Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 I've decided not to use the NVIDIA Gt 430, it uses a fan and blasts out lots of heat. I tried using my HD 6450 which is recognized with the plain DSDT file but it won't wake from sleep properly, it tries to wake but has a blank/black screen. I've read that others have this problem but haven't been able to find a solution. Any ideas about how to fix this? Are you connecting through HDMI or DVI? In clover config, is Graphics set to Inject ATI? You may want to try a few different darkwake settings in clover.config. I don't know clover that well, but setting darkwake=0, took care of my wake from sleep problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denodra Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thank your for this awesome guide. I will try it today on my old Optiplex 755. Do I have to make something special for the 755? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilBip Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 @denodra simply use the generic DSDT.aml to install OS X on a 755. Depending on your graphic card, you could have to customize or download a specific DSDT from this thread. I use a GT610 with no modification, HD5450 needs patch, ... To get sound working, replace /S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext by the Macpeet's V2 version from post #197. Still working after 10.11.3 upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owbp Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Actually, all the difference is in the GPU, and as Readme file says: So, what's your GPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denodra Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks for your replies. You are really nice here. I built a Hackintosh on this machine years ago. So it should work somehow. My graphics card is the GeForce 9600GT. When I follow the tutorial on the first site completely or simply build it with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] I get the following error which you can see in the attachment.

MacPeet Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The GeForce 9600 GT runs OBB Inject Nvidia in Clover try Why the bootflag DSDT=null ?¿? You have to take the GenericDSDT. Read instructions in post #1 ¿?¿ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denodra Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 @MacPeet I was frustrated and tried some bootflags. The error came with and without some bootflags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denodra Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm in the installer now. Found someone, who said, that the DSDT file of him was broken. I copied the file for my nvidia card again and now I'm in the installer. Thanks again for your help. I really like this forum.

denodra Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks to all again! Everything is working except the AppStore. This one keeps saying, that my Mac can't connect to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owbp Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Be sure that your Ethernet is connected as en0, and try different (other) kext. AppleIntelE1000e doesn't work for me in 10.11, I'm using Intel82655MM now. You have them in Clover pack from the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denodra Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm using the Intel kext right now and the Ethernet is also connected as en0. Any other ideas? The internet itself is working flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbie Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for the great guide. I used it for my optiplex 790 with geforce gt740. I had to manually make my boot usb stick, since the app errored out on my Mountain Lion mac. The rest of the install went great. I had to use the AppleIntelE1000e.kext, the other kext didn't work for me. After that I had a problem connecting to appstore, etc basically anything icloud/apple id. I've been searching for solutions and none of them worked or applied in my case, so I decided to use the install without for a while. Then I noticed several sites timing out while browsing and network speed not being so great. I found an newer version of AppleIntelE1000e.kext on sourgeforce, downloaded that and now my network speed is much better , no more timeouts while browsing and also appstore and itunes and icloud work fine. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owbp Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Good thing you managed to find ethernet kext that works for you! And, yes, Chris' installers won't work below OS X Mavericks, AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 And, yes, Chris' installers won't work below OS X Mavericks, AFAIK. That's why I said this : Actually, there's no need to use any third party installer. The method to create the USB pen is strictly the same than it is for Yosemite in the previous guide. The method available here works for every OS X version (post Snow Leopard) . But once again, don't get me wrong ! Chris's Installer is a quick and easy one that also works great . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
