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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282840-gigabyte-u2442n/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282840-gigabyte-u2442n/#findComment-1853163 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.

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!
