Streuli273 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have a MSI Z77MA-G45 motherboard with a Gigabyte GTX660 gfx card and a i5 3570k. I installed 10.8.2 a while ago from iATKOS ML2 (I knew no bette then) and it worked fine (sleep broke but didn't matter). I then tried to update to 10.8.5 for the newest version of xCode, but could never get boot, it was something to do with the new Apple nVidia drivers. So I restored my 10.8.2 clone. I then go the 10.9 GM seed and, using pandora, made a bootable mavericks installer on a partition of my backup drive. I installed it to my backup for testing and it worked, the graphics, however, in mission control and dashboard, were stuttery and laggy, so I went back to 10.8.2. I just installed 10.9 on my main SSD to see if it would work. I got into the installer and installed which was fine, (I wiped my SSD fully and reformatted as HFS+ with GPT) I then booted and used migration assistant to copy my user. The gfx card was not recognised (it just said 3mb card), this could have been the intel HD400? I loaded up the pandora assistant to install enoch, my audio kexts and installed lnx2's Realtek 81xx drivers for ethernet. I rebooted with -v -f and got stuck at [iobluetoothhcicontrol] [start]. So i tried: -x, GraphicsEnabler=No, Yes, NCPI=0x3000, 0x2000, then I booted my ML clone and moved all the gfx drivers from S/L/E to /kext_backups. Rebooted with different kernel flags, all the same result. When I used GraphicsEnabler=Yes, it detected the card properly, so I don't know what the problem is? I ave tried all the solution I could find on it, but none are for 10.9 and none I could find worked... Anyone got any recommendations on what to do next?

TechGuru Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 you need to put nullcpupower.kext and fakesmc.kext in the system/library/extensions folder on the drive you installed it on and after you do that boot with -f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streuli273 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks, I ended just installing over 10.8.2 as my brother needed to use the computer, with all the data. But I checked and nullcpupowermanagement was missing, so I suspect this was the problem. It boot fine with graphics enabler=no and system profiler said I had a 7mb video card, with no graphics kext(bad gfx performance). With graphics enabler=yes it detected the card but it said 0mb VRAM and I had no acceleration(laggy graphics and opaque top bar). Does anyone know a solution to this? The nvidia web drivers cannot be installed on 10.9 but can I use the ones already installed from 10.8 with a boot flag? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
