I am considering building my first hackingtosh and want a motherboard with 4x sata ports for Mountain Lion.

Will the ASRock B75M-ITX work?

I don't seem to find any DSDT files for it, is there any problem in that?
 
on the first post,
Search this thread for a premade bios for your board, or if it is not available, request one

noones wanted one for that board yet, thats why you cant find one already done

Super, let's talk about that one later then. With the modified bios, would I need to fiddle around with
appleintelcpupowwermanagement to make speeds tepping and sleep work or does the bios take care of all that?

that should answer any questions about the modded bios.

the h77m-itx sleeps/wakes natively (as in with the native dsdt, not a modified dsdt) so i would assume the b75m-itx would do the same as apart from chipset they are almost identical (meaning native dsdt should be the same=sleep works natively)
 
Dear Sir,

Did you sucess with AsRock B75M-itx?
I have this MB, too. But I cannot install sucessfully yet.
Could you share your experience to me?

I downloaded the BIOS from the thread forum which was modified by samisnake.
But I still got some problems. First, how to set the ideal optimised BIOS?
My builds are i7-3770, AsRock B75M-itx, 2GB RAM, 120GB SSD with internal graphic HD 4000 only. NO GPU card.
I set CPU core to 2, AHCI enable, On board graphic enable with 32MB.

However, I always got black screen whenever I try to install using the latest UniBeast and cannot go on any further.
Could you share your experience to me?

Really appreciated.
Thanks alot!

I bought it and received it but have not yet unpacked it.

I am still waiting for my Fractal Design Node 304 case to arrive before I start building.
I am really sorry to hear you have difficulties, my understanding was that this board should be a pretty safe choice :( lets see how mine goes...

Why set cpu core to 2 when you have 4 core cpu? There is very little to change in the MSI BIOS - set optimized defaults and change graphics to iGPU and set memory to 64M, make sure all your USB/Legacy use is enabled and that is about it IIRC.
 
Update: Unpacked and test fittet it in a random computer chassis I had laying around before the real one arrives (whenever that will be...)

I flashed the bios and installed ML on my boot drive today, but having a little trouble as soon as I had installed things trough MultiBeast - for some odd reason my graphics got all messed up, like it was out of sync via HDMI, but even after restarting the monitor and replugging the cable I still had a picture that was unreadable...

What am I doing wrong?

At least I do get a picture, not like asafreewaya that just got a black screen :beachball:



I think I will start in the morning installing just Chimera so I at least can boot - and then make a image copy of the drive before installing the things one by one in MultiBeast.

I am just thinking here, would it work to set the profile as a MacBook Pro and install the update from here? http://tonymacx86.blogspot.dk/2012/06/apple-reveals-2012-mac-laptops-how-this.html

That on gives native Intel HD4000 and USB3.0 support on the newest MacBook Pro's....
