DELL VOSTRO 3500 Error

[laiclair]

Hello,

I'm trying to install ML with unibeast 1.5.3.

But for now it's unsuccessful.

The Installer doesn't show up, the computer reboot on is own.

I've tried many things on the command argument but none works.

I've tried unibeast with and without legacy and laptop support without success.

Here is the DELL Tag of the computer C38N7L1.

Here is the lscpi -v (done with ubuntu) :

I don't find anyone who has installed Lion or Mountain Lion on a Dell Vostro 3xxx. Only Snow Leopard and things there are not rosy.

You can read this posting which references a long thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/lion-lapt...nstalation-dell-vostro-3500-a.html#post192846

Also, you might want to post in the Laptop forum. This is the Desktop forum.

Thanks for your help.

I will try to go Thru Snow Leopard Then.
And post in the correct section !!!!

I have a working 10.8 on my Dell vostro 3700.
Only thing that: no sleep, and stull working with battery and HECI and Thermal subsystem.

Otherwise works like a charm!

Got the battery also working!

 

[laiclair]

Great can you post your method and tools you've used.

Thanks.

 

[kalapragu]

Got the battery also working!

Trackpad is working also now with two fingers!
I will finish and then post what and how.

Issue i have is with shut down, it shuts down but does not power off completely.
with ssd it boots from cold start 32 seconds.

I have Dell Vostro 3700
i5 2.39 GHz Intel
8 GB Ram 1333Mhz DDR3
Vertex 4 256GB SSD
Nvidia GT 330M 1024 MB Graphics

In tiff you will find my device info.

Upgraded to 10.8.2

WENT BACK TO SNOW LEOPARD!


It is too unstable for now, but it is possible to do it!

I recommend not, to much effort for now, i will try on my free time with the progress, but it is not primary!
