RehabMan, from the image I posted in the post #106, is it possible to understand more information and/or where is the problem? For example, the cpu or something else?
Thank you!

I've never seen that happen. So the only hope is for you to describe everything about your hardware, how you installed, what options you chose, BIOS version, etc.

And I still highly recommend patching your own DSDT. I would't bother running any other way...
 
I have just to apply all your patches to my dsdt, right?

I have 4GB RAM and 640GB HDD.

I installed using unibeast, mountain lion 10.8.0, switched from bios F23 to F20 (for the perfect compatibility with the probook installer), I choosed:

OS X version: 10.8
Chimera 1.11.0
Ethernet kext installer
AHCI Patch
CPU SSDT i5-2450M
DSDT for standard screens 4530s Radeon (I have 2 graphic cards Intel - AMD Radeon)
System Definitions: MacBook Pro 8,2

That's all!

Exact steps are in the wiki: https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch/wiki/How-to-patch-your-DSDT
It takes about 5 minutes on my i3 to patch a vanilla DSDT.
Hardest part is extracting the DSDT using Linux or Windows, especially if you don't have them ready to go.

Sounds good. And you have to disable switchable graphics during the install, but I think you are doing that as you getting past the initial install.

Clean install? In other words, do you *always* erase or repartition on every attempt to create a new install?
 
When I switched from F23 to F20, I loaded the standard options for the bios and I didn't have any problem with the installation process.
Yes clean install. Everytime, I use disk utility, go to the partition tab, select 1 partition, choose the name, select mac os extended journaled type and click to apply (is already on guid partition table).
I already have Ubuntu 12.10 on my usb. I think that ubuntu is growing well.

I can't find any real fault with your install process, so I would try the DSDT...

When I went through the process to patch my own DSDT I was shocked that there were differences between what I was coming up with and what the Installer had given me that didn't seem insignificant, so to me, it is just a bad idea to run with a DSDT that came originally from a different computer.
 
RehabMan, is ok for you if I give to you my dsdt.aml file and you go to patch it? It will be more reliable for me. Please!

I'll do it once. Then you should do it yourself with the idea of matching what I do... Because you will have to do it again someday (BIOS upgrades, hardware changes, DSDT tricks for fan control, etc...)

You do it yourself, then compare with what I create by disassembling both and then comparing...

Code:
# disassemble both
iasl -d dsdt_patched_by_rehabman.aml
iasl -d dsdt_patched_by_joyfult.aml
# compare disassembled files
diff dsdt_patched_by_rehabman.dsl dsdt_patched_by_joyfult.dsl

So, yeah, send me your raw unpatched one from Linux or Windows, and I'll quickly do a patch.
 
Here it is. I used Ubuntu.
THANKS!

Here you go.

And this is what a successful log from the auto patcher looks like:
