Hi all,
I have an Asus Zenbook UX31A touchscreen laptop, and I've been trying to put OS X Mavericks on it.
Specs are as follows:
Intel Core i5-3317u @ 1.70GHz.
Intel HD 4000 Graphics
4Gb RAM
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 wireless/bluetooth combo
128Gb ADATA SSD
Elantech touchpad
BIOS Version 216
I know that the touchscreen will probably not work without some expensive drivers, nor will wi-fi, but I'm fine with that. I also don't mind the Elantech touchpad not fully functioning although I did find some drivers for it that I want to test out.
My problems start when I format the SSD as a GPT drive using the unibeast installer. After I format and install, and even after running multibeast, there is no boot option in my BIOS. I can only boot from the USB, if I unplug the USB then it just skips to the BIOS. If I format my drive as MBR the my BIOS will recognize it, but of course, I can't install Mac OS onto a MBR drive.
The USB will only be recognized if I have launch CSM enabled, and I'm not sure what that does, but I think it boots to legacy BIOS. Hoping for some Clarification on that.
I can successfully boot to mavericks via the unibeast USB without any bootflags, but only after deleting all Bluetooth kexts and AppleHDA, which both cause boot hangs.
Also if anyone could point me to DSDT for zenbook ux31a bios version 216 that would be great. (found one for bios version 212 but not sure on full compatibility)
Thanks for any available help,
