CBorg's "IvyBrick" Build: Intel i7-3770 - ASRock H77M-ITX - Mountain Lion 10.8.1

I had to think about that for a second.

No.. I had to use Ktexts with my ASRock Z77E-ITX for LAN and ASmedia USB3.
Everything on this board works with ML and multibeast. I added a native osx Targus USB Bluetooth and i have no issues on this box.
With ML 10.8.2 plus MultiBeast 5.1.3, The HD4000 works perfectly (if you have the bios set correctly) and the Trim issues are resolved.

This is almost a perfect Mini Hack. the only thing that I am missing on it is the MiniPCI slot for a wi-fi card. With an I5 or I7, SATA3 SSD and a lot of RAM, this thing is a beast.

I went back and started off from scratch and something must have clicked...
I didn't do any extra ktexts and I was able to install everything just fine.
The only thing not working at the moment is HD4000. I have to boot with GraphicsEnabler=No.
I do have my BIOS set at 64MB, are there any other settings I need to make sure I set up correctly?

Went back and read the entire thread. ramarro123 was using an extra string in his /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist. I tried that but still wasn't working.
But this led me to this thread: [thread=61216]10.8 / How to enable HD4000[/thread]

First I added they key to the string as follows

Code:
<key>device-properties</key>
<string>7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000005006201140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d31</string>

Then I changed the memory in the BIOS to 32MB.

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much tonymac community!!!
 
Interesting.
I have my bios graphics set to 64mb and needed no strings and it works just fine. I believe the string edits are now obsolete with latest multibeast. my early 10.8.0 builds needed some tweaks

Regardless of that anomaly, I am glad it is working for you. now make a time machine or CCClone so you to don't have to reinstall again.

Did you test out Appstore and icloud?

I am about to go migrate my H77M-ITX from its sugo5 to a spare G5 case (that is going to look weird in that vast expanse).

Are you keeping track of your progress somewhere. I've been looking for either a G4 cube or G5 case to take the mod to the next level.
I bet the ITX board will look tiny, but hopefully it'll look nice and clean.

Appstore updated iTunes and Safari, but I couldn't log in. Same with iCloud. I guess I have a little more tweaking to do.

I am half trying. I have a couple of G5 and Mac Pro case mods going on side by side.. I'm not really doing anything that has not been done before.


Run Multibeast again; under customizations, Change your system definition to "Mac Mini" (5.1) and it should allow you to log into the apple sites.

EDIT: I just reinstalled again to test something, I had the same appstore issue when set to the the default Pro 2008, switching to Mini worked.

EDIT2: Test complete. for some reason, when migrating to the G5, I added a Sony Optiarc DVD. it saw the drive and would eject. but not read data from it. A reinstall fixed it.
I'm sure there was a faster way to fix it. but SSD to SSD install only took a few min.. /shrug
