jbeme Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 This is my first Hackintosh (yeah I know not the best place to start), but I have gotten decently far. Everything goes fine until I hit some SMC problems, then eventually it changes to a grey screen (the grey screen of death I guess). I turn on InjectEDID. I also have NullCpu kext. Using Clover. I have tried to many of the DSDT options. All goes well until BootCacheControl:unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 no such file.... NTFS-fs failures then grey screen. I think a problem with HD4000, but no idea how to get around it as Surface does not let you turn it off. Goes from here to grey screen if InjectEDID is turned on. Goes to black screen if InjectEDID turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Which smbios are you using? You probably want to use macmini6,2 if you aren't already. And also try the usual -x -f -v boot flags. What are you using to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeme Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 I will try that and get back to you. Updated post above. I was using MacBookAir 5,2. I will give boot flags a try as well. I have done before, but you kind of lose track of what you have done with what. List of what happens when I change what: *-x causes kernel failure. Seemingly any combination. *-f doesn't seem to change anything. I will however attempt to try with other configurations. Current, if I did this right: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com...yList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>org.clover.bootloader.bootno</key> <true/> <key>org.chameleon.options.resolution.1920x1080x32</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.cloverefi.64.blockio</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64.ps2mousedxe-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64.usbmousedxe-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64.vboxext2-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64.vboxext4-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64.xhcidxe-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64uefi.csmvideodxe-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64uefi.datahubdxe-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64uefi.emuvariableuefi-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64uefi.osxaptiofixdrv-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.drivers64uefi.partitiondxe-64</key> <true/> <key>org.clover.themes.metal</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 delete these kexts, repair permissions with Kext Wizard/reboot, change your smbios for MacBook Pro SMbiosiVyBridge.zip use this flag: -f -v GraphicsEnabler=no npci=0x2000 ATI - ATI2400Controller.kext - ATI2600Controller.kext - ATI3800Controller.kext - ATI4600Controller.kext - ATI4800Controller.kext - ATI5000Controller.kext - ATI6000Controller.kext - ATIFramebuffer.kext - ATIRadeonX2000.kext - ATIRadeonX2000GA.plugin - ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle - ATIRadeonX2000VADriver.bundle - ATISupport.kext Nvidia - GeForce.kext - GeForceGA.plugin - GeForceGLDriver.bundle - GeForceVADriver.bundle - NVDAGF100Hal.kext - NVDAGK100Hal.kext - NVDANV50Hal.kext - NVDAResman.kext - NVSMU.kext AMD - AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext - AMDRadeonVADriver.bundle - AMDRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle put this DSDT In your Extra folder, and connect HDMI/TV and this can work for you, the problem is internal display not show image, but with external monitor this is ok, look if work for you Patched DSDT Surface.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeme Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Be a few hours until I have the chance. But I will give it a try tonight. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That surface will be badass if you can get it working properly. I think my biggest concern would be the touch screen and WiFi. What I'm wondering is, I thought Microsoft had secure boot so only windows 8 could run on them? I'm surprised it actually let you boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeme Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Here is where I am now. It hangs at Apple logo. http://i40.tinypic.com/chvlj.jpg I am having trouble loading up SMBIOS. It continues to show as MacBookAir when I check via clover bootloader. http://i44.tinypic.com/nlsfvo.jpg DSDT seems to be working fine. Also have one/two other problem, will update shortly. Need to run to store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
