This guide is my variation of the guide found here: http://weblogs.upei.ca/node/2889

 

Dell Dimension E310/3100:

Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz HT

Intel Extreme Graphics 2

SigmaTel Audio (Device ID 7690)

40GB 7200 PATA HDD

Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter (WMP54G v4 RT2500)

 

Working:

Core Image and Quartz Extreme

iTunes with 10.4.4 update

Wireless with the Ralink RT2500 chipset beta driver

 

Not Working:

Audio

DVD Player

DVD playback in VLC is green and purple

 

 

 

Creating the Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3 Install DVD

 

You will need:

  • macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg
  • UltraISO
  • <A href=">JaS 1111a Generic Patch v4.2b
  • <A href="http://">PPF-O-Matic 3.0 (included in JaS's patch)
  • One blank DVD-R or DVD+R (DVD+/-RW discs supposedly don't work) and your burning software of choice...

What you do:

  1. Convert the .dmg to .iso with UltraISO.
  2. Apply JaS's patch with PPF-O-Matic 3.0.
  3. Burn the .iso (I suggest burning at around 1/2 of your drive's maximum burning speed).

Installing Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3

 

You will need:

  • Patched Mac OS X Install DVD
  • PartitionMagic

What you do:

  1. Create at least 6GB of unallocated space with PartitionMagic.
  2. Go to Start > Run... > diskpart
    Type:

    list disk

    select disk [# of your disk]

    create partition primary id=af


  3. Set the new partition as active with PartitionMagic.
  4. Put the Mac OS X Install DVD in your drive and reboot.
  5. Boot from the DVD.
  6. Proceed with the installation.
  7. When you get to Select Destination, go to Utilities > Disk Utility
  8. Erase the disk0s2 volume and proceed with the installation.

Windows Boot Loader (If you want your computer to boot into Windows unless otherwise specified):

  1. Once in OS X, go to System Preferences in the Dock, select Startup Disk, choose your Windows partition and click Restart...
  2. Once in Windows, copy the chain0 file from usr\standalone\i386 on the Mac OS X Install DVD to C:\ and add this line to your boot.ini:

    C:\chain0="Mac OS X"


Note: If the Windows boot loader just flashes black for a second when you select Mac OS X instead of starting the OS, choose it again and quickly hit F8 to get to the Darwin prompt. If it just tries to start Windows Safe Mode, then reboot and try again. Then complete the following instructions for the Darwin boot loader:

 

Darwin Boot Loader (If you want your computer to boot into OS X unless otherwise specified):

  1. Go to the Terminal:

    sudo su


    Enter your password when prompted and then type:

    nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist


  2. Add the following <dict>:

    <key>Timeout</key>

    <string>10</string> (10 can be changed to any number of seconds you'd prefer)


  3. Hit Ctrl+X and then Y.

Enjoy! I am going to try to get the audio working, and I'm also going to write a guide for the Dell Inspiron 9300.

The Audio hardware on Dell Dimension 3100 is Sigmatel 9200.

 

*****N00B GUIDE - GETTING AUDIO ON DIMENSION 3100 AND ANY OTHER SYSTEM*****

 

 

In order to have Audio working, download the AppleHDAPatcher (Latest version is 1.2) and the Linux codec Dump for your audio hardware or in this case Sigmatel 9200(which can be found in the attachment in my post). After extracting the Sigmatel 9200 txt file to the same folder as the AppleHDAPatcher(which is also in a zip file and needs to be extracted), drag the txt file you just downloaded on top of the AppleHDAPatcher and let go. This should start the patcher. Just follow the process of patching using the patcher.

 

 

When you're done

As always you will need to restart....

 

After restarting you should have your audio driver configured and working.

Download the Linux Codec Dump for Sigmatel 9200 from the attachment below:

 

Linux_Codec_Dump__9200_.zip

 

If you have another audio card model eg. Sigmatel 9223, you can download the required Linux Codec Dump file from (just look for the file that corresponds to your card and right click the file and save as):

Just wanted to let people know that this works great. Running on a Dell Dimension E310 with HD Audio and I tried everything else before I saw this thread. Im also running Leopard 10.5.1 just incase anyone wants to know.

 

Now the only thing left to fix is get my Linksys Wireless card working.

I also have a Dell Dimension 3100. I installed Hazard's 10.6.2 build. When I boot, I get pages of scrolling text, followed by a blank, black screen. Any ideas?
