Hey everyone, I have an Asus K56cb i'm trying to put Mountain Lion on. Full specs here: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/K56CB/

 

I've done a lot of research it seems like all the hardware will work in my laptop with the proper kexts and i've ordered an Atheros AR5B91. but i've found two different approaches for my laptop. I'm not sure which one is best.

(Google translated needed unless you speak Russian/Ukrainian)

 

Thanks for the help !

Its up to your choice and the support you get from those posts. 

 

If you want our crew support then try to use our method which is simple and works very well(also you get up to date files).

 

First, try to get the dump by following the post and post it here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1945-dsdtssdt-patch-request/

This might be a noob question because i'm not 100% clear on what the DSDT and SSDT are for, but in the tut posted on this site: (https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2676-asus-k46ca-k46cm-k56ca-k56cm-tutorial-mountain-lion-1082/

You state that you will upload the DSDT and SSDT files into the EDP database... so do I still have to dump them as you suggested?

yes. thats how they get to EDP. those tables if not already available from a previous user need to be dumped.

Okay, but I'm having a small problem with AIDA64 on windows, i can't seem to find 'ACPI' tool in the menu. I've downloaded the most recent version of the program, maybe the tut is using an older version of the program?

Is there a better way to do it from OS X? 

 

Can you briefly explain what the DSDT and SSDT files are needed for? I've installed OS X using the guided I posted before (The first guide from this site if you look at my first post) and everything works except for VGA and I can't install pkg files for some reason. 

 

Thanks for the help !
