[Work In Progress] Lenovo Z580 ML Installation

[turkawa]

For Mountain Lion you need to use PCIRootUID=1 at the beginning.
For Lion you need to download Ivy bridge to patch the installer.
There are guides about installing Lion to Ivy bridge based systems.

I have tried almost every alc269 applehda.kext and none of it worked..
If someone manage to patch the applehda to work with the z580 i believe we can make the hdmi sound work..

Things that dont work

Hdmi sound (no suitable applehda.kext)
Card reader
Touch Sleep button
Touch media button (Duh!)
Screen dim right before screen sleep
Touchpad act as double clicked when clicked at the notifications and some other system tools.
Some function buttons (screen off and touchpad off works)
USB 3.0 works but at USB 2.0 speed. (osx dont support usb3 speed yet)

None very important..
But still working on them..

1- Which options you select from Multibeast?

Important: This small "Guide" is for z580 i5 3210m with HD 4000 Ivy Bridge
Actually i didnt used Multibeast ! ...somehow multibeast and i dont get along.
I suggest you to
1-boot system with -x from usb after you install
2-Go to S/L/E and delete all ATI, Nvidia and Gforce kexts
3-Copy attached extra folder to your root
4-install all attached kexts to s/l/e with kext wizard
5- Install chimera with Chimera installer from downloads..
6- Remove usb fix permissions and reboot..
You should be ok!

2- is anyway to make NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M working?

Nope.. Only HD 4000

3- Do you have Win7 in the same laptop? how you install it on GUID partition? because i followed some guides and when i tried to foramt the windows partation from Windows 7 installation it show me "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3".

I always install Windows first. Then I patch the installer for MBR, format the osx partition as mac needs to be formatted
Then install there. Check this place.

Again thank you for your help

Noooo Problem. I have been helped so much. Its time to spread the love

After installed chimera it give me kernel panic

 

[turkawa]

that is weird.. try fixing the permissions and try booting with -v to see what happens!

 

[GamGom]

I start everything from the beginning.

1-boot system with -x from usb after you install
When i tried to use -x the osx boot fine but the track pad the "clicks" doesn't work !!
2-Go to S/L/E and delete all ATI, Nvidia and Gforce kexts
I did that with normal booting before not with the -x "safe mode" but i didn't found any Nvidia, only ATI and Gforce
3-Copy attached extra folder to your root
You mean by root is the main OSX partition
4-install all attached kexts to s/l/e with kext wizard
i select repair permissions and rebuild cache options
fix permissions and reboot.. You should be ok!

i did all that in the normal booting not -x "safe mode" it give me kernel panic, another thing only the right USB working the other one doesn't work,so how i will fix the track pad in the -x safe mode?
