Shailua, you are a genius!

I haven't had time to test this out yet, but will be doing so shortly with my Atheros AR8161 Lan card in this Asus N56VM I have and will post my results!

Can't wait to test it out, actually gave up on running OSX on this laptop due to the Ethernet not being supported so this gives me new hope!

Now if I could only convince you to try and port over support for this Intel wireless card as well...

I am running into this same issue.  Can you elaborate on what you mean?

I used ###### to create the installer USB, and edited the AppleAHCIPort.kext to have it detect the Intel ICH10 Raid configuration on installation, but am having issues getting the damn thing to boot... same ACPI error.

I installed the latest chameleon2.1 svn package manually to both OS Boot partitions, and tried adding the UUID for the Raid partition to the chameleon.boot.plist in /Extra on each of these, but nothing seems to help.   I also had to copy the mach_kernel to the two boot partitions or I was getting a "can't find mach_kernel" error. (which i didn't have to do with Lion).

I'm running out of ideas.  Had no issues getting this working under Lion, but Mountain Lion is being a pain.  Maybe just let me know the exact steps you took to achieve this if you can, and I'll perform them on my machine to see if that changes anything...

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:  Nevermind, resolved the issue by following the guide found at: ###########l

I think my issue was being caused by using the UUID of the Raid Parition, and NOT the RAID ID.  Or it could be due to the fact that I was trying to install Mountain Lion directly to the raid partition from the setup, but I think it was due to using the fact that I wasn't specifying the correct RAID ID, and I was using the Kernel flag of "boot-uuid=[paste RAID identifier]" versus the one specified in that link, "rd=uuid boot-uuid=[paste RAID identifier]"

Either way, managed to finally get it working properly

UPDATE #2:  Seems that if I try to disable kernel cache (by using the -f flag on boot) then I receive a kernel panic, looking like the system cannot find the /S/L/E folder on the RAID partition, which is odd, since it boots fine when not using this.  Need to dig deeper and find out why this is occurring.  Just for those who care, I am currently running the latest version of Chameleon 2.1svn rev2043.  Will post back if I have an update or solution to this.

You could also try swapping the cards in each slot, and if the second slot still has the same issue with the card from the first slot, then it sounds like an EFI / plist issue.  Double check that the majority of the settings are the same as the first card, as there could possibly be a typo or something missing?

I have not had this issue, but I am using two single-width cards (GeForce 210s) and the latest Chameleon 2.1svn release.

You could try using the npci as a key/string instead of a flag in your bootloader to see if that helps maybe? (shouldn't but it's a suggestion).  Not sure why else this could be occuring.   Did you check your system's BIOS to try changing the bus/lane width for your graphics adapter and see if that helps?

I personally used the following kext without issue for the L750 I had (VoodooHDA 2.7.3) and I removed the AppleHDA.kext as well -> http://www.datafileh...d-775e8ee0.html

For the LAN, I used the Attansic/Atheros L1C Ethernet Kext for Snow Leopard from here: http://code.google.c...64_20100425.zip

For the Wireless I added the following kext: http://www.mediafire...e3tb7nb274xdx21 to IO80211Networking.kext(and remove legaryatheros.kext and atherosfix.kext if present) and I had no issues with the wireless, other than it not remembering connections on reboot (but I could always reconnect)  Note that this driver also allowed for wireless a/b/g/N connections, not just a/b/g!

Hope that helps!
