Good morning!

 

I am having trouble installing OS X Lion on a laptop ASUS A43E-VX049R

 

Configuration by everest:

 

Core i5-2410m 2.3GHz Sandy Bridge

8GB DDR3 1333 Memory

Intel ® HD Graphics Family / Intel ® HD 3000 Graphics

Maximum resolution 1366 x 768

Realtek ALC269 High Definition Audio

Intel ® Express Chipset Mobile SATA AHCI Controller

Network Adapter Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Network Adapter Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

USB2 Controller Intel Cougar Point PCH - USB EHCI

Version BIOS - DMI K43E.209

Kingston 128GB SSD HD

 

Configuration via sysinfo attached.

CPUz and Sysinfo ASUS A43E.zip

 

I'm generating the installation disk with Lion App version 10.7.3 and USB hard drive. So far, without success. The installation hangs at "Still waiting for root device" I tried some flags, such as:

 

cpus=1 busratio=20 USBBusFIx=yes –f –v e –x -v
cpus=1 busratio=23 USBBusFix=yes –f –v e –x –v
cpus=1 busratio=20 USBBusFix=yes npci=0x2000 –f –v e –x –v

 

Freeze on the same screen, Still waiting ...

 

Well, I'm kinda lost when I ride the installation disc, What kexts should I add and where? In / extra or / system / library / extensions?

And, Can you help to edit my DSDT? I exported the machine by this everest, this attached.

Again, I appreciate the help.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your help! I applied the DSDT SandyBridge corrections and remove All Graphics Kexts.

 

OS X Installed correctly, but required some kexts. Can we help me?

 

Wireless Ok - Antheros21 ver 4.3

Network Ok - AtherosL1cEthernet ver 1.0.2b2

Baterry Ok - VoodooBattery

 

Graphics Card - No Kext Loaded

Audio - No Kext Loaded

Sleep - No Works

WebCam - No Works

TrackPad - Scroll and Multitouch No Works.

 

Again, Thanks!

Your graphics would have been natively supported if you took my advice and did not remove any kexts. Restore all Intel related graphics kexts at the bare minimum.

 

For audio look for a patched applehda for ALC269, then inject using dsdt. google 'ALC269 os x applehda'.

 

Sleep will not work until AppleCPUPowerManagement.kext is loaded.

Remove NullCPUPowerManagement.kext or disabler.kext, add

<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>

to your org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

 

Webcam, UVC are the easiest to get working. Try with macam or camtwist, if neither of these work I'm afraid you may be out of luck.

 

Trackpad and keyboard, you will no doubt need ApplePS2 kexts.

Thanks for your help, audio works fine now.

 

But, the graphics no.

 

I know my graphics have native support in 10.7.3 and 10.7.4, just don't work for me.

 

I have these kexts in System/Library/Extension

 

AppleIntelHDGraphics

AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB

AppleIntelHDGraphicsGA,plugin

AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver.bundle

AppleIntelHDGraphicsVADriver.bundle

AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer

AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB

AppleIntelSNBVA.bundle

 

in about this mac, show Intel Graphics HD 771MB
