Newnick Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hello, insanelymac users! I'm addressing you with a sort of urgent problem with my Mac OS X installation. The problem is that I'm loading Chameleon on my PC just okay, after picking my mac volume I see that HFS+ files are loading. After they finished loading, there must be another bunch of texts but it isn't appearing. I see a black screen instead. Here is the video of what exactly happens:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_1Gx6qSbQ8The configuration of my computer: Motherboard: ASUS Z87 Deluxe BIOS Version: 1205 (from July 04, 2013) CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50 GHz DRAM Memory: Kingston DIMM DDR3 8GB x4 (32 GB in total) Graphics Gard: nVidia GeForce GT 220 HDD (for Mac): WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 (2TB) HDD (for Win): ST2000DM001-1CH164 (2TB) HDD (no system, just data): WDC WD15EARS-00P8B0 (1.5 TB) Sound Card: TC Electronics Impact Twin FireWire Card: Texas Instruments FireWire 800 IEEE 1394 Optical Disc Drive: Optiarc DVD-RW AD-5260S ATA Device CPU Fan: THERMALTAKE Contac 39 (CLP0597) (120mm) I need an advice on how to run Mac OS X (no matter 10.8 or 10.9) on the PC with the configuration like that. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsweeting Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've had issues when asking OS X to boot verbosely (i.e. my machine will boot OK if I do a non-verbose boot, but will not boot with -v!) Try: -f cpus=1 npci=0x02000 GraphicsEnabler=no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOCKBA80 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I cannot get my GT220 work with Haswell board either. On my board (asrock h87m-pro4) only 10.8.4 patched is booting and only with integrated GPU. When I put my GT220 in, it boots but I am getting black screen (and I believe GraphicsEnabler=no/yes has no effect). There is no option in BIOS to disable integrated GPU (just a way to enable PCIe video card) and I am afraid this may have something to do with that. Any idea what I might be missing? GT220 was working fine for me for years with non-Haswell boards with retail installs, so my assumption that it is natively supported... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOCKBA80 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 NVEnabler.kext But I have Chameleon 2.x and GraphicsEnabler=Yes Isn't it the same thing as old NVEnabler? I don't remember last time I had to use NVEnabler, definitely prior to getting that GF 220GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOCKBA80 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hmm, adding NVEnabler.kext powers up monitor but I am getting colorful blinking vertical and horizontal lines... I believe I've seen somebody reporting this problem... Any hints on how to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 make a EfiString for your card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 On my nforce hack, I had the same issue (different nvidia card though), and a dsdt injection was required to get it to boot without a blank screen. I'm not 100% sure which patch it was since verdant did it for me, but I believe this is the one you need: http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/guides/inject-your-nvidia-fermi-and-quadro-graphic-card-into-a-dsdt/ . EFI string should work too, but in my case it did not. You should be able to either boot with -x, or if that doesn't work, temporarily move all the nvidia kexts out of the extensions folder, that's what I had to do.

MOCKBA80 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 NVEnabler it was. Thanks guys. I had to use NVEnabler 64.kext http://www.osx86.net/files/download/1989-nvenabler/ with my GT 220. Still don't understand why GraphicsEnabler=Yes didn't work out as with other boards, but oh well Haswell is too new I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
