m0dit Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hi all, I cant manage to get passed the kexts loading to the install screen.Im using the following guide to prepare/install: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners-updated-for-mavericks/ I also tried another 1 or 2 guides, as well as 10.8. The lasts kexts which are loaded are the 2 TMSafetyNet kexts, immediately after the system reboots. Installed kexts: FakeSMC.kext, NullCPUPowerManagment.kext, custom DSDT, SMbios.plist.I've had 10.6.8 running for what seems like Centuries now with no problems.I've tried EVERY-KIND of System and Bootloader flag (and i mean EVERYTHING!, there is no point in writting them all down)Searching for TMSafetyNet doesnt give very much. Could somebody PLEASE shed me some light! Specs: Core2Quad, Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS4, 8800GT 512Thank you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAXGr Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Doesn't this indicate problem with bootloader? Bootloader loads the kexts into kernel right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 the kexts are loading, but the problem not the boot loader , is your config bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0dit Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well i did find a few settings in the BIOS which i changed.(i used 10.6 for a few years, never seemed to have any problems)However, i cant test it just yet......For some reason the external USB HD stopped working (not showing up under PC). It happened when i tried to re-install a fresh copy of the OS onto the drive.On my macbook it shows up fine, on the PC, nothing.... I've never had anything like this!!!!! Absolutely ridiculous! Driving me crazy! I've set it to erase/0 over 7 times, i dont know what else..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0dit Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ok there is some progress in terms of OSX. The system now does NOT restart but rather the Display/monitor turns-off/goes into Standby.This is the log pic at the time the screen goes blank.Help VERY much appreciated!!!

m0dit Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Managed to have success by adding the "NVDANV50Hal.kext" to S/L/E. Thanks for the help previously! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
