I found this entry on the Arch wiki talking about how to do that for a generic kernel symlink, but not necessarily, "for any Linux kernels you find on <partition ID>, use this command line..." If I want that, I may need to resort to chainloading bootloaders or spending an afternoon with the git...

Many compliments for your simple, clean, high-contrast theme. It has the advantage of being one of the few Clover themes I can use at full 1080P resolution. I'm legally blind and a light-sensitive albino, so most are way too small, way too low-contrast, way too bright, or all of the above...

I started playing with Clover's options a bit and found that if I installed the proper filesystem drivers, Clover sees my Linux kernels just fine--no need to copy them anywhere. They don't boot without specifying a command line of course. With rEFInd, I can create a file that specifies how to...

In this post I figured out (with help, thanks again pilgrim!) how to fix the Inspiron 620's HDA audio, which is Conexant based. The solution was VoodooHDA, which I had installed, but MultiBeast didn't install it properly apparently. The fix was rather similar to what was done for the Realtek...

VoodooHDA was the problem--MultiBeast's installation was not working. Installing the SF package didn't fix it because it lives in /S/L/E rather than /L/E, so there was a working copy and a non-working. Remove the one from /L/E, sudo kextcache -i /, and reboot. VoodooHDA's skeuomorphic volume...

(Sorry mods, text change was not intended there with the borked link, and it does not appear that I can edit to fix it—I did just now figure out how to turn OFF the wysiwyg editor. I'm legally blind and just zooming in the screen to stupid levels of bigness, didn't notice the text got a little...

I started with the sticky posts. I see: Realtek, Realtek, 200 series, Realtek, No audio after sleep for Realtek, Before you install ... Realtek, MultiBeast audio failure (tried that one), Realtek, and Desktop only, which is not a guide--the Inspiron 620 is a desktop. Pinned guides for audio...

The video card I am using in this Inspiron 620 is a GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB (this required replacing the Dell power supply with something that had a VGA power connector.). The guides suggest that 600 series cards "just work", and NV's web page doesn't give you any drivers to download if you tell...

Hey everyone, I have a Dell Inspiron 620 (which uses one of only a couple of Sandy Bridge H61 motherboards Dell actually uses in any system), and I'm finding that audio does not work. I understand the sound chip to be a Conexant that should be supported by default, but I get this helpful error...

Update on ethernet: The Realtek RTL8111 kext didn't work with 10.12.6 as installed, showing a link that was disconnected in network (and no network device in System Profiler). The solution was to reinstall the appropriate kext manually, using the process described in this post. I'll try and...

THANK YOU! This fixed ethernet for me on my Dell Inspiron 620 Crapintosh! That just leaves the graphics and sound, which will be easier to fix now that I can actually download stuff. Thanks pilgrim!

Apparently I'm getting the full experience! The Realtek driver "cannot be used" (thank you Apple for your ever so descriptive error message), and if I don't boot the system with nv_disable=1, it reboots. Audio is recognized (Intel HDA) according to system profiler, however when I go to sound...

Absolutely not. Dell has locked all of that stuff out of the Inspiron 620 BIOS. I did find a solution--the bios-mods.com forum's readers have the tools needed to patch it (and I'm just gonna assume they've got them legitimately), and they take requests. I found the droid I was looking for by...

Thanks for a link to the HP 6200. The post you linked is the BIOS flashing guide--are you suggesting the Dell uses the same process (I don't believe it does) or that I should follow the unibeast guide above that? Assuming the latter. :) The first order of business is to see if I can get AHCI...

Hi everyone, Let me start by saying I'm fully well aware I'm so far in over my head here that I don't even know how far in over my head I actually am yet. I'm looking to build a pretty decent Kaby Lake Hackintosh, but that system is bugetarily going to take a few months to buy all the fun...
