tutu101 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Gigabyte U2442N Ultrabook Specs are: Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz (Ivy Bridge) Intel HM77 Intel HD Graphics 4000 (0x8086 (0x1458)) Realtek ALC269 nVidia GeForce 640M Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 BIOS: U2442.F0A Working: LAN (Realtek) using Lnx2Mac RTL Not working: Intel and Nvidia, Touchpad So far I have created a USB install using ###### and Mountain Lion (10.8.0) I have installed to an external USB drive and then updated to 10.8.1 I have used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to make the HDD bootable and also created a DSDT.aml The issue I have is that if I boot normally, the boot hangs on "nVidia GeForce GT 640M 0MB NVe7 [10de:0fd2] :: PciRoot (0x1)/PC1(0x1,0x0)/PC1(0x0x0x0)" There is no option to disable the nvidia GPU in the BIOS. Has anyone gotten any idea how to disable it using DSDT.aml? Or could I enable it somehow to get it to work? I would prefer that. If I boot with -x -v GraphicsEnabler=No I can boot into X. If I boot with -v GraphicsEnabler=No it then hangs on "NTFS volume name...". I tried deleting the nvidia KEXT but now it wont boot any further anyway. I haven't tried deleting the Intel ones, presumably I need those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutu101 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 The issue that I am getting without safe mode is AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement timing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutu101 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thing is, NullCPU is installed! I just tried removing the NV* Kext's and it boots without safe mode. I don't have HD4000 working. I still get the message about AppleCPUIntel timing out. I'm guessing I need to inject ig-platform-id but I can't find the specific thread about it.

tutu101 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks. I have HD4000 working, HDMI and VGA out. But the internal laptop display is switched off. I will try some more efi strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venu2062 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I am in the same place as you are with u2442n. I am trying to get it out of safe mode. It boots in safe mode and everything seems to work except touchpad and wifi. I got an external wifi adapter and have wifi working. I am wondering if a dsdt can help with booting in regular mode. Can you provide yours? I am using Clover bootloader in UEFI mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_fle Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hey, guys! Any news on this topic? I'm really interested in buying a U2442 and would love to know if you can at least get the built-in display up and running... Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
