I have to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, it cause Kernel Panic on startup.

I have also boot0: error after install and have to manually fix that by copying boot1h to OSX partition.

Anyway, without Unibeast key i'm stuck right now at "failed to locate SMC drive". Will investigate and try to fix that.

Maybe you didn't install FakeSMC.kext (required on all Hackintosh)...

I have an Acer V3-571G with core i5 3210M and GT630M Graphics card.
Ethernet works well and HD 4000 works with 1366x768 resolution and 512MB VRAM (I don't sure that this card works perfectly because I didn't test Qe/Ci but I think it did because finder bar is partly transparent)
Some trouble I didn't solve is Wifi doesn't work (AR9462), I can only find 2 kexts for this wifi card, but none of them are loaded
The second is CPU temperature, it always above 55*C - 80 *C, even speedstep works with 8 states (macpro 3,1 sysdef)
I heard that Ivy Bridge CPU has Native power managerment in ML 10.8.2 12C60 (kext X86platformplugin loads instead of AppleSMC... kext) that better than AppleSMC..., but I untill now I can't manage to install ML 10.8.2 12C60 because some issue with installer, "still waiting for root device" error messed me
Hope someone will help us to enjoy full hackintosh
sorry for my bad English, I'm from Vietnam

to get HD4000 works, add these lines to chameleon.plist, if it still cannot work then install HD4000 kext. It should work well.
<key>HD4000PlatformId</key>
<string>9</string>

the value of this code depends on the Revision ID of your VGA for me I used 9 because my revision id is 0x0009.


<key>device-properties</key><string>5e0000000100000001000000520000000100000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000003006601</string>

Hi, sorry for bumping this thread, but I also have a Aspire V3 571G and i'm completely new to OSX, but I would like to have a dual boot (currently got windows 8 pro installed) with ML. I don't have a mac nor a friend who has one. Im curious about if most things already work like touchpad, wifi, usb. GPU is not neccesary because I dont game on my laptop so, but if someone can help me out it would be great.

How to find out which reision id does my VGA has?
Please advise.
Should I download some Win / DOS software?

UPDATE: Sorry, found it in my System Information.
But what's the "device-properties" string? Where did you get it from?
