Mountain Lion on Asus P8Z77-V Pro.

I've managed to migrate from a P8P67 Pro System to a P8Z77-V Pro system without any major issues. I had Both Lion & Mountain Lion working perfectly before. I installed the "MacBookProMid2012SoftwareUpd1.0.dmg" update prior to making the transition. I then patched "AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext" to allow for speedstep capability on the new motherboard. I then shutdown my Hackintosh & swapped the "P8P67 Pro Rev 3.1 + i5 2500k" for my new system "P8Z77-V Pro + i5 3570k". I then reinstalled Windows 7 & MacDrive in order to access my Mac boot drive and change the DSDT to a new one I created in Ubuntu Live CD with the necessary patches. I then altered the Bios to disable UEFI in the boot menu in particular & also change other settings to what I had in the old P8P67.
Everything is working well; Sound, Internet, Graphics, Sleep, Auto-Sleep, Ethernet, SteedStep (5 states),but no USB 3.0

dsdt question

Looks like great work on installing ML with your p8z77 v pro. I too am using that board and am planning on doing a clean install of ML. If you dont mind me asking, what dsdt did you use and would u mind posting it?

I just did an install as well could you give multibeast settings for sound and power management?

I have the asus p8z77v motherboard and am looking forward to installing ML on a partition of my ssd...can you confirm that ML works with just the HD4000 graphics? I dont have a graphics card yet and was waiting for ML to hackintosh...also if you could post the DSDT you used..that would be great..i didnt know we still needed those, as when I looked through the download section there was none mentioned for these boards...

Sounds great! I just installed (upgrade using tonymacx86's great tutorial) Mountain Lion on ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe. I have an EVGA 460 GTX and have not been able to watch HD HDMI iTunes movies on my 1080p monitor (even under Lion, it just gives a black screen with no progress QE/CI seem to be working good. Also sleep, auto sleep, and speed step are not happening correctly. I, too, would very much appreciate your DSDT unless it is not possible to work with my configuration.

I just completed this build and am new to the Hackintosh community. Thanks for sharing!

Here is the DSDT that I am using guys for ASUS P8Z77-V Pro. I created it using an Ubuntu Live CD. I also patched it for ALC 892 High Def Audio. It should work also work for the P8Z77-V (Not Pro) but I don't know about all the other Asus Z77 motherboards.

Thank you!! My board uses ALC 898 so I believe you are correct that it may not work for my installation. I'm trying to figure out how to get sleep working. Here is something interesting. Although I cannot get the GeForce GTX 460 v2 board to display HDMI 1080p rented movies in iTunes, I can now show them in a VM running Windows 7 (although I must authorize the vm in iTunes). This is definite progress attributable to ML.

Thanks, again, CB, for your important contributions to this community.

How did you get Auto-Sleep to work without a modded bios? I've had sleep working for sometime but only if you go to the apple menu and select it, if you've got to do that then you may as well chose shutdown... All the experts here insist the bios is locked and can't be modded, so if auto-sleep is working for you, please share... Thanx

One thing I've noticed is that whenever I don't use the "Kernel Cache" when booting, auto-sleep does not work in either Lion or MLion. So make sure you use the "UseKernelCache" flag in your org.chameleon.boot file. I think this may be because the OS needs a easier may reload the kexts when waking from sleep. Hence the need for the Kernel Cache to put the system to sleep, automatically.

Kernel Cache should be irrelevant regarding sleep. I'm just wondering why no one on this forum or any other forum for that matter, can make this work because of the locked asus bios, yet it's working for you. Don't misunderstand, if it really works than "Three Cheers", I'm just try to figure out how you did it!
