Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I need help installing Mavericks (GM) verison with myHack. I used myHack to create a bootable USB of Mavericks. It only loads if I use GraphicsEnabler=No -x and when I open disk utility to format, it does not detect my drive. One time it did detect the drive but it was in read mode and I was unable to format. Please help. Too bad [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] isn't out with a tool for Mavericks as it worked for me in the past with ML.

ameris_cyning Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Did you remember to change SATA from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS? Plus, please post thy specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yes set to AHCI - now the drive doesn't show up at all is it because I have the boot flag as -x? its the only way it boots..

Especially with the Z77 chipset What is the last line that shows up (using -v without -x)? Have you tried changing the SATA port used on your motherboard?

Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yes I tried different SATA ports same result I have BIOS version F12 Please see attached screenshot with last -V log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameris_cyning Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Ok, I am pretty sure your problem is with your Graphics card. I don't know much about Radeons, but I do know they can be a {censored} to get working. Can you try to boot with GraphicsEnabler=no -v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 I booted with GraphicsEnabler=No -v and I get a screen with a rotating beachball - it doesn't go anywhere (see attached). I then booted with GraphicsEnabler=No -x and I am able to get to the installer but no disks can be seen (see attached). myHack isnt working for me so far..

iFIRE Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Disk.zip put in Extra/Extensions of your USBInstaller or S/L/E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Disk.zip put in Extra/Extensions of your USBInstaller or S/L/E Thanks iFire. I put it in Extra/Extensions on my myHack USB. Let me try this again. Brb. Still no SSD disk detected. Should I try putting the kexts in S/L/E? Edit: put it in both locations...still no SSD detected AHCI is set in bios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 VS, boot with -f -v GraphicsEnabler=No rd=disk0 disconect your second disk, and put SSD in port Sata 0 or 1, what format have your SSD ? Use Fat32, the installer not see NTFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 I did that - I get a grey screen with beach ball. The SSD is on the first SATA port I tried with -x and no SSD detected. I have another NTFS SATA drive (non-SSD) and it detects fine through the installer. Do I have to use Kext Wizard to install the kexts? I simply just copied them to the folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Oh OK...should I just go out and buy another SSD drive? Is it a compatibility issue with my AData S510? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Your HD does not matter {censored} dude sorry I can't be more of a help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanif Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 I bought a non-SSD drive and was able to install Mavericks without any issues. I can only boot with -x so I will try installing some kexts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
