One small point, when I boot I think it uses a different process for the HD4000. Because Just before it gets to the desktop it seems to stall the display, it flicks into a slightly different mode and then everything is fine. It did not do this 'stalling and thinking' after the original install, but it started to do it after I installed the kexts from 10.9 from original post I installed all the kexts in the 10,9 folder from page 1 except the appleintelframebuffercapri.kext because of chans guide where he said don't install it and I think he had the same K55a as me Any ideas? stu

Thanks for the reply! Well I have had no crashes since I wrote that post so I'm sticking with it for the moment, this was a superb guide and was one of the simplest laptops that I've hackintoshed - (I know there are easier ones too) Didn't realise that I had to change the speed of the scrolling before it worked on the elan touch pad, that now works fine Have also bought an ar9280 wifi card and looked at the underneath of the laptop - very easy replacement job! My last laptop had me undo about 30 screws, the K55a is much easier Oh and I have a tiny usb belkin Bluetooth in the side for bluetooth Very pleased, thanks to all those who took time to write the guides stu

Oops, spoke to soon! Thought the audio was working but I just opened itunes to play an mp3 and got a hang on the mouse pointer after i hit play. the mouse pointer remains stuck and the laptop trackpad does nothing. The rest of the computer seems fine as i can use the keyboard, itunes seems to be playing but I have no audio from the speakers, Can anyone point me in the right direction? I used the kexts from the beginning of this post, but i may have a slightly different alc? Anyone know how i discover the exact identifier of my audio now that i have osx installed? And does anyone know what kexts the applehda depends on? stu

Just want to say a big thanks to rufabf for the original post, and to chan1600 for his guide on page 27. I don't have the k55vm, I have Asus K55A SX376H - the shiny red one - Intel i5 3210m @2.5GHz HD4000 Chan1600's guide worked for me and all is good! Only things not working are wifi 9485 (will swap out soon), Bluetooth (Bit disappointed because OP seems to have it working) and two finger gestures) It has been years since I built a hackintosh so your guide really helped a rusty mind... Anyone care to share if Bluetooth is possible and how? Also, does elanPS2 kext not support two finger gestures? cheers Stu
