Asus A54C Success
I just thought I would post that I've been mostly successful with my Asus A54C Notebook. My machine specs are
Intel Pentium B950
Intel HD Graphics 2000
2 GB RAM
Seagate 500 GB HDD
AR9285 Wifi (replaced RT based mini pcie wifi that came with machine)
Aetheros Ethernet
Currently on Lion 10.7.5
Installed with Unibeast Laptop Support Option(Lion Version). No flags necessary.
After first install, needed to boot in safe mode to get past HD3000 drivers trying to load (they almost work with HD2000 but get ring bus timeout errors after initial desktop displays)
Finished inststall and region select. Ran Multibeast, easybeast option. Reboot.
A problem with AppleRTC turned out to be LegacyAppleRTC kext that easybeast installed. Removed and replaced with ElliotForceLegacyRTC.
Boots successfully. Updated initially to 10.7.2 but upon reboot fails to find HDD. Revert IOPCIFamily and AppleIOPCIFamily which fixes the problem.
Update to 10.7.5 went smoothly.
No QE/CI because HD2000 is not 100% compatible with HD3000 drivers. Removing AppleIntelHD3000* kexts allows loading of nice framebuffer though and full resolution.
Will be trying big brother of this notebook with i3 processor and suspect will get the whole thing working. Will post results.
