Has anyone tried using these kexts with the non-Mac boot method that r0m30 documented on insanelymac? I was able to create the HFSPlus partitions with all the necessary bits, created my own DSDT.aml (caveats to this, btw!), and com.apple.Boot.plist file(s). Zero luck so far.
I've tried everything with my d830, and even with an external monitor, I can't get past where it starts the GUI for the install. I've got the dreaded Intel GMA965 and even using an external monitor, it only coughs up purple/pink horizontal lines. I tried just about every GraphicsMode known, from 800x600x16 to 1920x1200x32 -- with various incarnations of the same result. Someone please tell me I won't need another Mac to do this! I'm confident that once I get booted into the install, I can make everything work, but this is just absurd! Just as a note, when booting back into the parted magic USB key, I have to run fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda2 (the partition that I have my chameleon installed on) before mounting it to make changes. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on Dell D630
So I have a bought copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on DVD. I have a Dell D630 with the following config:
CPU: Intel Dual Core Processor, T8300, 2.4, 3MB, HD: WD-MX160 160GB Optical Media: Toshiba Samsung 8x DVD +-RW Dell Minicard Network 3945ULD 2 1GB PC667 RAM I guess I have to assume an integrated GPU. Is it possible for me given my CPU and config to install SL 10.6.3? Where would be a good place to start? Keep in mind my DVD is already at version 10.6.3. Thank you!!

Hi the installer is not a combo updater.
You must remove ALL old kexts and then install kextpack. or remove only problematic kexts (see readme).

USB is still a problem
I first want to say great stuff here. By far the most centralized resource for getting my d630 up and running on SL.
I have read through every post so far and found solutions to all my problems. The one issue that seems outstanding is USB ports working. I have found that my USB ports seem to be somewhat randomly working. Most of the time the two ports in the back work. Occasionally it will change and one in the back will work and only one on the side will work. It's a big deal because I use external keyboard and mouse as well as an external HD. My main question here is: Which specific kext file is responsible for USB ports? I haven't seen solid documentation of this anywhere. I would love to know which kext file i should be trying different versions of to resolve this issue. Thanks for any help.

Just an update on my d830 (Bios A15) with the Intel x3100 and a 1920x1200 screen. This is running a Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Vanilla kernel and Chameleon 2.0 RC4.
I've got almost everything working, some without kexts even. This is possibly one of the nicest laptops to use with Snow Leopard
I'm still having issues with the rear CRT port.. if I press Fn-F8 to switch from the internal LCD to mirror to CRT, it scrambles the video and I can't fix it. Perhaps setting up a hot corner for 'sleep' would do the trick, but I think a simple display re-init in the DSDT if I can find what function governs that flip back and forth would also do the trick. Feel free to contribute here... The only other thing I can think of is migrating everything to 64 bit, but that shouldn't be hard. The only device drivers I'm using are the Broadcom ethernet, PS2 keyboard/mouse and legacySTAC9205. The rest should be fine, but I'll test soon enough anyway. So, how to do all this? SERIOUS DSDT modifications. I'm going to attach my current DSDT for others to use, but do NOT take it thinking that it will 'just work' on your laptop. You'll need to have a Latitude D830 with Bios Revision A15, x3100 (965 chipset) video, and a 1920x1200 panel.. otherwise, I can't guarantee *anything*. P.S. When I say SERIOUSLY modified, I'm not joking. I have added and removed devices, hacked up IRQs, put in different OSID checks, changed device names, timers, and even IDs. Do not take this as a panacea for all your laptop compatibility woes, but do take it as proof that you can get very close to native operative performance with just about any laptop if you are persistent enough and willing to read ACPI specs. No really, go get the document to read about what you don't understand BEFORE asking questions. P.P.S. I also am using a custom /boot file. I'll include that as well. PC-EFI 10.6 does NOT initialize the x3100 correctly! P.P.P.S. Quick lists of kexts in /Extra/Extensions Code:

Just a quick update -- on those C & P-states, unless you're using a T7300, those may (probably) not work for you. You'll need the FID/VID values for your specific processor, and then recompile the dsdt accordingly.
Best of luck.

Flashed Appel IDs
Sounds very interesting: How did you 'flash' the IDs ? Last edited by sp-am; 03-05-2010 at 05:28 AM.

I've tried everything I can think of and can't get sleep to work. My D630 is a [email protected], Intel GMA 965 (X3100). I'm loath to mess with the DSDT file, as I know I'll mess it up. Everything else works, P-States, QE/CE, OpenGL, wireless and wired.
I've gone a much different route, using Voodoo Kexts for power mgmt and sound. I get really confused when I check IORegistry. It looks like most of the extensions say Apple this or that. I also have and entry in the DSDT that is Device (VID). There is no AGP device, etc In IOReg with a video drive. I have VID2@2,1 and a VID@2. I've read in a couple of posts that problems with video drivers can prevent sleep. Any ideas? Any ideas?

stephens, I have the exact D830 except mine is a T9500 (2.6GHZ) and NVS Quadro 140M. Shockingly I have a 100% working clone except for sleep and Ethernet. Only using fakesmc, appleACPIPS2 and Nub, smbios.plist, voodooHDA and nothing else. Speedstep is working but no C state. I am using a M1330 Non CPU DSDT from this thread and yes surprisingly it works. I have read the graphics card 8400M in the XPS M1330 is the same as the NVS Quadro 140M which I believe is the 7300GT is I am not mistaken. shutdown and restart is flawless. I am looking over your DSDT to see if I can somehow figure out what I need to do to modify my DSDT to get both the Ethernet and Sleep to work.
