Hey guys I hope this great community can help me
As you can read in the title I´ve problems to get ML 10.8.5. running correctly onto my Asus p8z77-m board. I´ve tried methods/DSDTs from this thread but it dont wants to work. I´ve read and watched a lot of how to build a Hackintosh and how solving issues but this is still my first Hackintosh so please explain steps in detail for me (noob alert).
Later I also want to use my graphiccard and the other harddrives for my data, but the first/main point is it to get it running correctly.
This is the way how I´ve tried it
Before I started I removed 3 RAM-Sticks and only let one inside (each 4 GB) for the installation to avoid issues.
I updatet my BIOS to the newest version (2105) right from the official website (because I didn´t find a working flashed/patched one for this board).
I set up my BIOS with recommended settings like changing SATA to AHCI mode or only using the iGPU (I´ve read it´s better to post install this GPU).
On a borrowed MacBook-Air I´ve created a Mounntion Lion 10.8.5 bootstick using unibeast and a 64GB USB 3.0 stick.
I removed any USB devices exepcting wired mouse / tastatur and the network cable from my PC.
I succesfully got through the installer without using any bootflags. I started by opening the Disk Utilities and formating my empty 60GB SSD to the "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" format (I named it OSX). All of my other harddrives were listed in the Disk Utilities.
After the installation was finished I had to reboot. I rebooted and on the bootstick I selected my 60GB SSD OSX Drive, but all I saw was the screen with the apple Logo and the spinning wheel. I used the bootflag "-x" to get to the secound part of the installation.
I successfully got into ML. I couldn´t plug in annother USB-sticks it only recognises drives which are formated in the mac format.
My internert worked so I downloaded MultiBeast for ML and other stuff. I ran MultiBeast and used the EasyBeast method.
I restart from the menue in OSX. A dark grey screen apperaed and then the PC rebootet and automaticly load my OSX Drive but at the bootscreen with the apple logo it stuck. The same by using bootflasgs like "-x", "GraphicsEnabler=No" or "PCIRootUID=1".
I researched a lot of time and found the boot flag "-x -v -f apci=off cpus=1 PCIRootUID=1 busratio=20" which worked for me (here GERMAN!).
The USB 3.0 ports are working now but there for the internet is disabeld and it still doesn´t recognizes other usb-drives.
I ran MultiBeast again and chose DSDT-Free installation... no succes.
So I´ve ran to whole installation setup of OSX with exact the same steps again. And downloaded differnet DSDTs from this thread I´ve mentioned at the beginng. But I can´t follow how do they get it working. I used one DSDT of this thread with Multibeast but after a reboot OSX won´t boot with any booflag even not with "-x -v -f apci=off cpus=1 PCIRootUID=1 busratio=20".
And I´m sorry if I created a unnecessary new thread for this but I need more help than just for this specific board and the knowledge level was little bit to high for me there.
I hope someone can help
p.s.: during my tries I got issues with my other harddrives (windows drive and one data drive) suddenly I couldn´t find them in the BIOS and the boot priority was changed automaticly sometimes. I didin´t put the other RAM-sticks back yet.
