Dell Inspiron N4110

[Inotamira]

Well gentlemen and ladies, I need help. After install, I cannot get chimera to install properly so I have to continualy boot from the unibeast USB I created for OS X Mavericks. The system boots up and logins in fine, it would appere that the graphics work.

The audio does not work, the wifi doesn't work as it needs a kext, the major issue I am haveing is that after installing ANY kexts AT ALL, even with the multibeast, the system is then incapable of booting and fails (usualy) with a pool allocation error. Help with getting the right kext's, installing chimera, and getting this system up and running properly would be MOST apreciated.

I have managed to get sounds and Wifi working, bluetooth as it usually is, isn't loading, I've heard of a fix for this, does anyone know of it? I can't remember where I saw it.

I have since managed to get both bluetooth (though I believe temporarily) wifi, sound, and everything working EXCEPT what I need to boot directly to the hard drive, and FakeSMC. It also seems that the graphics are still not fully activated (the top bar isn't clear nor is the rocket dock). I have also BIOS modded this computer and UEFI is enabled as well as a number of options in the BIOS I didn't have before (variable candy land on my end digging through them), however I can't get chameleon OR clover to show up without a USB

If you have AR3011 BT (commonly bundled with AR9285 on an AR5B195 combo card), you can try here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Atheros-3k-Firmware

After every time I'd install a kext, I'd have to boot with the options -v -f each time, after that everything wen't fine, but even with the bios mod, I still cannot get correct reports on my battery state, but I can get cpu states, usage, wattage, and ram usage

I don't see any specs in your profile. What I see:

System: lol
CPU: 12
Graphics: 8

System should be your manufacturer/model of your laptop + chipset. (eg. Dell Inspiron N4110/HM67).
CPU should be your actual CPU model: Core i?-2???
Graphics should be: HD3000 (resolution of laptop display)
