I am new to programming — —————————— Hello! Sharing my reports on installing 10.9 on a Haswell machine. System specs:CPU: Intel Core i5-4570M/B: Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3HGPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 How I did it: BIOS version: F9 (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4486#bios) BIOS settings (everything default except): xHCI Hand-off - Enabled EHCI Hand-off - Enabled xHCI mode - Auto Intel HD Graphics - Disabled I followed this guide pretty closely: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners/ 1. I created USB Installer according to the guide mentioned above. 2. I skipped the NullCPUPowerManagement.kext completely. 3. After installation, I booted into USB installer again and opened Terminal and entered following command (replace "YourHDNameHere" with the name you gave your HD/SSD, e.g. OS\ X): cp /mach_kernel /Volumes/"YourHDNameHere"/ 4. I downloaded the 10.7 Ethernet driver from Realtek website (http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false) and installed it into /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.9/ 5. For enabling TRIM, I used the KernelAndKextPatches section of the Clover config.plist: <dict> <key>KernelAndKextPatches</key> <dict> <key>KextsToPatch</key> <array> <dict/> <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>Enable TRIM</string> <key>Find</key> <data> QVBQTEUgU1NE </data> <key>Name</key> <string>IOAHCIBlockStorage</string> <key>Replace</key> <data> AAAAAAAAAAAA </data> </dict> </array> </dict> </dict> 6. For enabling GPU power management, i followed Riley Freeman's advice and replaced libclh.dylib from the NVIDIA web drivers. Please, ask, if you have any questions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 - Have you change de Mach Kernel from the atach? About videos: do you downloading the Nvidia drivers for mac? Try VLC to reproduce them, maybe is quicktime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemblod Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 The attached mach_kernel is extracted from 10.8.5 (build 12F33) Combo Update using The Unarchiver (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353). I used the vanilla OS X Nvidia drivers with my EVGA GeForce GTX 670, which is natively supported.The problem was the audio drivers. I will edit my original post. I can play any video I like now.

Cobra03 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Smbios MacPro3,1? You need to change that. Not even close to the setup you have. The closer to real Mac you have the less problems. Also, the xHCI setting should really be set to xHCI Smart. Follow link below to get better into for Smbios: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/2189034 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yes!!! Congrats! When you create a the USB, with the original Guide with Vanilla, Have you found the /System/Installation? and the /System/Library/Extensions in the USB? I can´t find it! Maybe my 10.8.4 is corrupted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my 10.8.4 is corrupted... Thank you! Make sure you are using the BaseSystem.dmg hidden in the "Mac OS X Install ESD". When you have mounted the InstallESD.dmg, you can mount the BaseSystem.dmg using the following command: open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg Then restore it in disk utility like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi! with -V PCI configuration Begin I tried: npci x 2000 / x 3000 CPURoot 0 and 1 GraphicsEnabler=No Even the file from Netkas for this problem. No solution. My mother is Z87X Any idea? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemblod Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Any idea? I used -f as well. I can boot with -v -f GraphicsEnabler=No dart=0 (dart=0 depends on if your CPU has VT-d. If it doesn't, skip the boot flag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picasso Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Vlade, have you tried Smbios? With CHamaleon Wizard? I'm stuck with .com.apple.lanched and nothing happens! Any suggestion, more hacks around the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra03 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 -v ncpi=0x2000 -f -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes Try these boot flags EXZACTLY. See if it boots. Testing install only no graphics audio ect... let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemblod Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have the gtx 560ti, and my CPU doesn't have interated graphic. Do you know how to solve the problem? Maybe if you add pci=off to the boot flags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladeK231 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Vlade, have you tried Smbios? With CHamaleon Wizard? I'm stuck with .com.apple.lanched and nothing happens! Any suggestion, more hacks around the world Did u stuck at the com.apple then still waiting for root device ? I tried the SMBios 9,1. But maybe the last time I tried I think I might forgot to add the SMBios. Hope this is the key to solve my problem. -v ncpi=0x2000 -f -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes Try these boot flags EXZACTLY. See if it boots. Testing install only no graphics audio ect... let us know as far as I remember I tried the boot with those flag. And stop at DSMOS has arrived. Maybe if you add pci=off to the boot flags? I haven't tried it yet. I will try it. Thx you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 With bootflags I am stuck in com.apple.lanched The only error I can see in the screen its AppleHDA. I deleted the applehda and no errors. Without bootflags i can se the grey screen and the wheel turning around, and around (Like Jhon Lennon´s song) My instint said it´s de Kernel, I have read all the forum. We need a new one. I cross my fingers waiting for 10.8.5 for Haswell... come on Apple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeWalker75a Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Grey screen and spinning beach ball are the symptoms of fakesmc not starting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Grey screen and spinning beach ball are the symptoms of fakesmc not starting up. What do you recommend, change Fakesmc? Or its the Kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeWalker75a Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Do you see a message saying DSMOS has arrived at boot? If you don't then I would advise changing fakesmc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty12 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 An authentic kext's component files are owned by root:wheel, with permissions nonwritable by group and other. The first post has you copy FakeSMC but not set the permissions (EDIT: OP does repair permissions later on so that would fix this. Did you do that?), so the following might work: chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/[target volume]/System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext chmod -R 755 /Volumes/[target volume]/System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
