killwa Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hello , i lately been trying to install OS X ML on my ATA hard disk i used another hard drive with the image of Hazard Mountain Lion on it and its bootable with chameleon any way i can boot the installation in -x -v -f , otherwise it freezes while am in the installation itself while formating or even while typing in my disk label it just freezes in a random time i installed clean without any fixes or patches or kexts from hazard's most of the time it runs fine but sometimes it freezes as well and i have to start over after its done and i boot into by OS X drive using my bootable HDD in -x -v -f it runs fine i put in my info i log in and i start opening windows like finder and so and it just freezes so if i am lucky to get past installation and booting up without freeze the OS, it freezes after startup. i can't track down the issue i thought its gpu i tried to use graphicenabler or even nvenabler no difference i see that in boot it always says AppleCpuPowerManagment service waiting and it times out i tried to use a fixed cpupowermanagment from the installation dvd by hazard (hdd i made) it changes that part but it freezes some where else my system is CPU: Intel Core2duo E7400 2.6 GHz it goes 2.8 from bios Mobo: GA EP-41-UD3L (rev 1.0) BIOS : F6 HDD : ATA 160GB WD i install from SATA 160GB WD GFX : nvidia 9600GT RAM: 4 GB DDR2 PS2 keyboard USB mouse no DVD rom attached while installing and when i did it didn't make any difference tho notes : Snow Leopard worked just fine i never could update to 10.6.7 tho i always got kernal panic by the end of update installation :/ also btw when i tried to install from USB instead it froze on the beginning of installation process usually after 2 - 4% every time but i think that's caused by poor mobo support for usb boot. here are some screenshots https://www.dropbox.com/s/edruclqpdo3xq9o/2013-07-27%2001.52.09.jpg this with clean setup and https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wjrq0rue9z4ln4/2013-07-27%2000.39.38-1.jpg sometimes i get this kernal panic after trying few patches in installation process but not always it usually freeze too here are my options while installing (link/attachments) http://leohazard.com/css/images/hazard10.8xb.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_black Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why are you using Hazard on an Intel Core 2 Duo, that's your biggest problem. Use iATKOS or else retail ISO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killwa Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 thanks for your reply i am gonna try iATKOS and see how far it goes but would you please tell me why should it make difference if i am not using any of the patches/kexts in the iso or even updates while installing? also answering your question hazard snow leopard worked well for me and that's why i used it for ML. Alright it worked and very very very smoooth its even smoother than snow leopard with hazard only one issue since snow leopard still with me is the ps2 keyboard i have to replug it before and after every log in to work lucky me my keyboard is very very old xD the cable unlinks every now and then so i dont have to stand up and go to the connector to do it XD but still if any one got a resolve for this issue i searched the web for a way to fix it this what i found " In the ApplePS2Controller.kext there is a PS2Trackpad.kext that loads. I had to delete that from within the kext to have my keyboard work on boot." close to my problem but the thing is i dont have appleos2controller to begin with even tho i checked ps2 fix in installation xD any ways EDIT: never mind i installed the ApplePS2Controller.kext and then deleted the ps2trackpad inside of it and restarted with -f and it worked like charm i also updated to 1.8.4 smoothly and no problems My audio isnt working tho i tried voodoo and ALC8xx HDAenabler none of them worked i remember voodooHDA used to work for me before but it gave me kernal panic this time FIXED: by https://www.dropbox.com/s/orvbkgilfocy2uf/AppleHDA.kext.zip its way better quality than voodooHDA just make sure you delete all the voodooHDA kext files and then install these patched hda for ALC888 files in extensions i used kext utility and boot with -v -f to renew cache and you are set big thanks to Joe_Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_black Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 If you still have issues with audio try removing all your audio drivers/kexts and installing this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=127156 It's a patched VoodooHDA 2.7, works perfect for me. (Install using Kext Utility or else repair permissions after copying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
