Sky2High Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hi My rig intel i5 3570 asus p8h77-i radeon hd6870 ddr3-1600 (8gb x 2) Tried to install but can't seem to get to the installation screen it keeps on restarting.

spakk Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Please give more information! can you not boot your OSX? is the system (OS X ) installed? or you have to install a new OS X system? if you have a system installed, then you can use any OSX install DVD and boot with it your System. If Darwin appears press the F8 key and boot with: -v -f then upload a photo here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky2High Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 I'm trying to install a new OS X system. The problem is after darwin, the apple logo appears for a brief moment and the system restarts itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have also set their bios settings set correctly? very important to switch to AHCI !!!! if not then change it. If do you not have much experience with hackintosh, then look for a tutorials a matching your hardware, use google search. look here klick me I was looking for just three minutes no longer, that would be your job!!! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky2High Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Tried it but it is still the same. I'm using a processor with HD2500 gpu which is not supported so i can't use the onboard gpu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD2500 gpu is actually not fully supported! Either you buy another GPU which is compatible with OSX or try this here (click me) it is with HD 2500 working on ML for framebuffer only -.

rockinron_1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 turn off onboard graphics, use your HD6870 - ML supports it fine although you may want to check Part 7 step 7 in my guide:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-mountain-lion-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners/ try booting with -x -f -v if it still resets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eep357 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If your using verbose boot with -v flag (which you should be!!), the only apple logo you should ever see is in your menu bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky2High Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 didn't use -v. installation done perfectly without any boot flag with chameleon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
