PCCard Dell Insprion 700m Kalaway 10.5.1

[dabonetn]

Ok, I've spent the last 3 days trying to get this beast working.

And I need help.

 

I've got a Inspiron 700m laptop running Kalaway 10.5.1 with sse2.

It has a TI7420 Cardbus controller.

 

 

The device ID under windows is 104c:ac8e

 

 

The lspci -v readings are as follows.

 

02:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7420 CardBus Controller

Subsystem: Dell Inspiron 700m/710m

Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 10

Memory at e0209000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)

Bus: primary=02, secondary=03, subordinate=06, sec-latency=176

Memory window 0: 40000000-43fff000 (prefetchable)

Memory window 1: 4c000000-4ffff000

I/O window 0: 00003000-000030ff

I/O window 1: 00003400-000034ff

16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001

 

02:04.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7420 CardBus Controller

Subsystem: Dell Inspiron 700m/710m

Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 10

Memory at e020a000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)

Bus: primary=02, secondary=07, subordinate=0a, sec-latency=176

Memory window 0: 44000000-47fff000 (prefetchable)

Memory window 1: 50000000-53fff000

I/O window 0: 00003800-000038ff

I/O window 1: 00003c00-00003cff

16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001

 

 

The windows settings....

 

 

IO Range

 

FF00-FFFF

FE00-FEFF

 

Memory Ranges

 

FEBFA000-FEBFAFFF

FEBF9000-FEBF9FFF

FABF9000-FEB8FFFF

000DB000-000DBFFF

 

 

I've been trying to edit the Info.plist for IOPCCard using the base64 converted numbers from this link

http://www.binor.com/apps/baseconverter.html

 

so for the lspci reading I've got

 

I/O window 0: 00003000000030ff AAAwAAAAMP8=

I/O window 1: 00003400000034ff AAA0AAAANP8=

 

 

Memory window 0: 4000000043fff000 QAAAAEP/8AA=

Memory window 1: 4c0000004ffff000 TAAAAE//8AA=

 

and I plug them into info.plist like this

 

key>ADP2,1</key>

<dict>

<key>I/O Port Ranges</key>

<array>

<data>

AAAwAAAAMP8=

</data>

<data>

AAA0AAAANP8=

</data>

</array>

<key>Memory Ranges</key>

<array>

<data>

QAAAAEP/8AA=

</data>

<data>

TAAAAE//8AA=

</data>

</array>

</dict>

 

Then I fix file permissions (root:wheel) 644, remove /System/Library/Extensions.mkext and then reboot

 

Also I did edit a 4C10??AC in IOPCCardFamily to be 4C108EAC.

 

 

 

Help? Suggestions? A better tutorial perhaps?

 

Thanks,

dabone

Hey Dabone,

 

I was wondering if u installed the Kalyway 10.5.1 with your laptop successfully.

What setting do you use?

I have inspiron 710m but cant get it working at all..

one case the OSX installed nicely but at the boot loader, it keeps rebooting...

in some cases, the boot loader did not even boot.

I'm using kalyway too

Anyone maybe can help me out?

A temporary fix for this problem is to type in "tohkernel" when you boot it up (when it allows you to type -v).

Any updates on 10.5.1 on your 700m? Aside from the Intel wireless not working, what other problems have you encountered?

[mooselander]

Not sure about Kalyway 10.5.1 but I'd call my Kalyway 10.5.2 installation a success.

 

Aside from the screen resolution (not being 1280x800) and the bootup on battery issue (Speedstep, IE: Laptop is SLOWWW when booted from battery) everything else seems to be working fine.
