No issues with the update with the specs below - all working great!

[XanthraX]

Me the same. But at the finishing of the installation it said: Could not install the update because of an error occured. After restart it was 10.8.2.

Did you update via App Store, Xanthrax? With my system was just the same: error message but everything worked as expected after reboot.

mine works fine.
but my battery isn't as good as yours  

[theconnactic]

PH, did your battery get better with ML (especially the updates), did it get worse or stayed just the same as with Lion/Snow Leopard?

Remember that mine is a netbook. With Windows 7, it used to get easily 240+ minutes (because of full sleep/speedstep support, which i don't achieve yet with Mountain Lion).

maybe it's better to quote my post, so that I can notice your reply to me.

I don't think I achieve better battery life.
Even worse, when my battery is low, my hack even cannot tell me how much time I left
But when it's full or much left, my hack were ale to tell me nearly 2 hours left

After one night's sleep, both windows and mac drop nearly 20% battery life.
So I suppose they would be almost same.

if your computer wont boot or acpi state not working try this kext.

AppleACPIPlatform.kext.zip

Exactly what I needed to do to avoid KP, thanks a lot m8!
Too bad hack updates are still a game of lottery, even with very compatible hardware.
What would be the cause of the ACPI panic?

[stackcheese]

how do you use the AppleACPIPlatform.kext.zip?

[b0dyr0ck2008]

I got this when I updated and rebooted, not a KP - don't know what it is but won't go any further:

...i'm thinking it is a panic...caused by a plugin inside fakesmc.kext(OemSMbios.kext) ...find and remove that...reboot

[b0dyr0ck2008]

Removed oemsmbios and repaired permissions etc. now got Voodoohda KP so going to delete that and see what happens

@ stackcheese and bodyrock2008:

DL Kext Utility and AppleACPIPlatform kext

Now, I do this manually but I think Kext Utility will do this automated by replacing the kext.
Do not open Kext Utility instead slide the AppleACPIPlatform kext onto the Kext Utility icon, it should then ask for your admin password, replace the file and repair permissions, reboot and report back.
In case it does not want to replace remove the kext first from System/Library/Extensions, manualy move the new one in and then open up Kext Utility which will repair permissions, reboot and report back.

Good luck!

All done and booted ok. Now how do I know if everything is working as it should? I'm an old hat at windows but this is all a little new to me

After I disabled VT-d in BIOS it also works with the original 10.8.2. AppleACPIPlatform.kext.
Using a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH with BIOS F9.

Used the combo this time.
Re-added my 4850 id and replaced AppleHDA with my working one and it's done.
No problem.

[stefano.85]

Confusingly, the version is still 1.6. But the binary inside has changed. I md5-summed the old and new ones to see for myself.

Anyone who needed to rollback ACPIPlatform, are you using the ACPISensors or OemSMBIOS kexts? I'm just wondering what triggers the problem with the updated kext. I use Kozlek's HWSensors branch of FakeSMC but only with the CPU, GPU and MB sensor kexts.

[iRipper]

Updated with no issues

[mtek]

Updated my Toshiba Qosmio laptop successfully through software update but it wouldn't go past the apple logo on reboot - (no such issues with 10.8.1 update before.
Solution? Replaced the AppleACPIPlatform.kext forom unixservice - thanks a lot for that!
