Pretty basic i3 machine, never done the Hackintosh thing, but I've done a lot of reading. Any success or failure stories?
 
Same here, but I have i7 version... Any success anyone?
 
Quite happy with my e430 with 10.8.0. Mine's got i7-3612QM, Intel HD 4000, 1366x768, 8G RAM, 500G HDD, dvd rw, webcam+microphone, intel wifi, bluetooth, fingerprint reader. With a few kexts and DSDT patching, everything's working except wifi and fingerprint reader. Two minor issues: 1) F7-F12 were not correctly recognized, but volume (Fn+F1-F3) and screen light (Fn+F7-F8) adjustment does work, 2) USB 2.0 device does not work on USB 3.0 ports.
 
Can you please upload files you used? Or little short how to? I cant even install mac os x and run it in safe mode... It gives me errors during instal... Thanks a lot :)
 
Hey!
I managed to install and run pretty well, but still am not able to use any graphics acceleration or native res with the HD4000. Could you post DSDT, and config setup you used for this?
Would be a life saver!!

Thanks a lot.
 
DSDT and chameleon config are attached.
In addition, I used RealtekRTL81xx for ethernet, voodooHDA for sound, ThinkpadUltraNav for trackpoint and AHCI_3rdParty_SATA for optical drive. You might also need to patch AppleIntelCpuPowerManangement and IOAHCIFamily.View attachment 67932

What is the resolution of your screen?
 
Hi :) I just used this:
<key>device-properties</key>
<string>5e0000000100000001000000520000000100000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000003006601</string>

and It worked :)

I'm guessing that that properties string is the same as using: IGPPlatformID=01660003

Or... this DSDT patch:
Code:
#   Inject HDMI info into GFX0/IGPU
into method label _DSM parent_adr 0x00020000 remove_entry;
into device name_adr 0x00020000 insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
    If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n
    Return (Package()\n
    {\n
        "AAPL,ig-platform-id",\n
        Buffer() { 0x03, 0x00, 0x66, 0x01 },\n
        "hda-gfx",\n
        Buffer() { "onboard-1" },\n
    })\n
}\n
