I have been reluctant to update my 10.8.2 to 10.8.3 and now to 10.8.4. Has anyone done it and maintained 100 % system (video, network, sound, sleep, etc.)?

After reading the sticky I almost feel compelled not to try and just to shell out the $$$ for a macbookair. Is there such a thing as a 100 % compatibility hackintosh NB, preferably one that is based on an ultrabook (thin)?

Dual booting Hackintosh + Linux [SOLVED] I have an existing Hackingtosh install working perfectly and I would like to add an option to boot into Linux. I used the diskutil to make a 12 G partition at the end of the disk where I installed a minimal Linux. How can I get the multibeast...

My hackintosh seems to query the HDD about once per second for reasons I cannot understand. Example, I boot the machine fresh and just sit on the desktop with nothing running. The HDD light flashes about once/sec. Any ideas how can I figure out what is doing this and stop it? Link to...

Hang on boot/waitForSystemMapper...org.navi.OemBIOS... [SOLVED] Just updated my box to v10.8.2 and installed the corresponding nVidia drivers. Now I am unable to boot without entering safe mode (-x). When booting w/ the verbose switch, the problem seems to be: "waitForSystemMapper..."...

My hackintosh seems to require the nVidia 304.00.00f20 drivers for sleep to wake-up properly. After updating to 10.8.2, sleep stopped working. I thought I could just reinstall the nvidia drivers but the install tells me that my OSX already has an up-to-date nvidia driver for my hardware. Any...

Under linux, a user can hit [ctrl]+[alt]+[backspace] and have the graphical UI restart. Is there something similar on OSX?

Got 10.8.1 up and running but the font rendering is some how 'bad.' Fonts look jagged and unpleasant. I am grateful for any advice to fix them. For example, look at the menu bar in the attached screenshot and also in the url box in Safari. I have enabled "LCD font smoothing" and the...

I have two DSDT files for use with my motherboard (GA-EP45-UD3P r1.6 with BIOS version FD). DSDT_number_1.aml allows sleep to work successfully but does not allow network nor audio to work. DSDT_number_2.aml allows everything to work EXCEPT for sleep to work. Here are the options I have...

Do I need to install a specific nVidia driver for an nVidia GTS450 under Mountain Lion 10.8.1 or is the driver that comes with ML all I need?

My Hackintosh running ML 10.8.1 can go to sleep just fine but cannot wake up without the video drivers crashing. Sometimes, the desktop wallpaper gets all garbled upon waking up but mostly the screen returns to what it was before sleep but it does not update if I click on a menu for example...

I followed this guide to extract, patch, and compile a DSDT for my hardware: http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt/31716-guide-creating-your-own-dsdt-most-boards.html After booting on my Unibeast/ML USB, installation, reboot, and installation of Multibeast using the follow settings, I have a mostly...

I followed this guide to install using a user DSDT I generated myself using this guide. Everything went OK, I rebooted after install multibeast and found the nice bootloader, it started my new SL install, and then gave a panic. Here is a screenshot: I will attempt to attach the DSDT...

I have a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P which isn't an exact match to a DSDT in the database. The closest matches I can find are: EP45-UD3R and EP45-UD3RL and I'm wondering if it's known that similar boards can share these guys or is an exact match required? I'd like to answer this before I spend the $$$...

I read in the FAQ that this intergrated GPU is not supported but I found some conflicting info here. I have an Acer AS4830T-6678 I'd like to use, but I don't want to spend the money on OSX Lion if it won't support the GPU. Thank!
