ASUS G72GX - installation issues from a newb


2 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I have recently purchased a asus g72gx laptop after reading this thread

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=215709

 

I am a bit of a osx86 newb and a lot of the terminology escapes me.

 

Here is what I have been able to do.

Boot the retail install dvd using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

The install works perfectly and I also update to 10.6.4 with no problems at all.

 

What doesn't work/I don't understand

i cant boot from the hard drive.

I don't know what DSDT is I have done a lil research and I am now even more confused then when I started.

kexts (appear to be the same thing as modules for linux)

I see people saying i need VOODOOHDA for audio but when i boot the computer with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] the audio works just fine.

 

So what I need help with.

 

Getting the computer to boot without using the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] cd. And setting up all the kexts and DSDT

 

Thanks
