#KEXT UTILITY FOR OS X 10.8 UPGRADE#

I know 10.8.3 just came out, but I haven't upgraded yet so I don't know what issues may be caused from upgrading to it.

#KEXT UTILITY FOR OS X 10.8 UPGRADE#

If you're installing 10.8.0 or 10.8.1, you will need to re-edit your graphics kext after you upgrade to 10.8.2. Finally, I ran Kext Utility to repair permissions and regenerate caches and then rebooted.ДЄfter reboot, I had a working desktop with full graphics functionality, audio, and network. Before I restarted, I edited NVDAGF100Hal.kext and added my graphics card's device ID to its ist. After MultiBeast was run, I installed VoodooHDA, but did not restart when it prompted. See the attached image for a list of options I chose to get everything working. Once at the desktop, I ran MultiBeast from the drive. My ethernet wasn't working yet, so I skipped setting up the network and just created my user account. For post-install, I include MultiBeast for Mountain Lion, Kext Utility, and VoodooHDA 2.8.2 r86.ДЄfter installing OS X from the drive, I had to reboot into Safe Mode (boot option: -x) in order for the GUI to show up. I also copy all of my post-install utilities to the drive as well so after installation is complete, I only need to reboot and complete my post-install routine.

You'll use this drive to install OS X to the machine. You'll want to obtain a copy of Mountain Lion and create a bootable USB drive using UniBeast.

HDD: Intel ICH10 AHCI SATA II w/ 250 GB SATA II HDD.GFX: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 1 GB GDDR3 PCIe (ASUS-branded)(Onboard Intel Graphics not supported).CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2.6 GHz (Recognized as Core 2 Duo by OS X).Sleep is untested as I never sleep my machines. I did not use a DSDT as it was not necessary to acheive full (mostly full) functionality. There are two versions: one for 10.8.0 and 10.8.1 and one that I provided for 10.8.2. If you're not comfortable editing the graphics kext, you can grab a pre-edited kext. Once added, full graphics functionality is acheived (full resolution and QE/CI). For the particular brand of card I'm using, I had to manually add my device ID to the kext's ist. The graphics chipset I'm using is supported by OS X, but is not ready-to-go out-of-the-box. The version of VoodooHDA I used (2.8.2 r86) fully-enabled the ALC662 audio chipset and provided crystal clear audio playback. I'll link to those at the bottom of the thread for anyone who might be interested.ДЄs a brief overview, I used UniBeast to create a bootable install drive, MultiBeast for post-install, and VoodooHDA to enable audio. There are several other threads around with information on this machine that I consulted while getting everything up and running. I wanted to document my process for getting everything up and running on it. It's kind of crappy and old, but it runs Mountain Lion just fine. I have a Dell Vostro 220 that I got surplus from my employer. Been lurking around these parts for quite awhile and figured I should probably finally contribute something.

Notably, the ASUS-branded GT610 no longer requires a kext edit to work it is supported out-of-the-box!
