CeeeJaaay Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi guys, this is my first post here. I recently built a PC and was interested in getting Mavericks to dual boot with Windows 8. This is the configuration:Motherboard: AsRock Z87 Pro3CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k 3.4GHzRAM: DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Blue Low Profile CML8GX3M2A1600C9B 1600MHz 8GB (2x4GB) CL9HDD: Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda I didn't flash my motherboard, but the BIOS has been updated to the last version available.I also have an SSD with Windows 8 installed on, but it's unplugged.What I did is running Mountain Lion on a Virtual Machine on this PC, got a 8 GB Cruzer USB Stick ready with myHack and then unplugged the SSD and tried to install Mac OS X Mavericks on the HDD. However after I get the boot device choosing option of myHack and choose my USB Stick to boot the Mavericks installation OS I see the Apple logo for a second and then the PC reboots. I've tried using another USB stick, and even a SATA HDD. I've tried using a lot of boot flags, and when I use -v the PC restarts atStarting Darwin x86_64Boot Args: boot-uuid=5D98B392-0DD6-3459-AZ44-6C444E2DE05E rd=*uuid -v I then tried using this guide: 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 get the same problem. I've been working on this problem for the past 4 days. Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeeJaaay Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Patching the BIOS seemed to work! If you guys have my same problem with my same motherboard here's what I did to get it working: 1. Make a USB Installation Disk with myHack 2. Download this file on Windows: http://www.ami.com/s...ds/amiflash.zip Open the zip and navigate to:\amiflash\Aptio\afuwin\64\You will find another zip, extract it to the desktop. A folder called "AfuWin64" will be created. Now download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/gb9twzg3d2rnesc/PMPatch_0.5.13_win.zip Extract the .exe and move it in the "AfuWin64" folder on the Desktop. 3. Now right click on the folder in the desktop called "AfuWin64" while pressing Shift, and in the menu you will see "Open command window here", click it. Now be sure to close ALL the programs you have open, even the browser you're using to read this (so I suggest to use another device to read the next steps) 4. In the CMD you opened in step 3 type this:afuwinx64 bios.bin /o (it creates a copy of your BIOS on the computer)pmpatch bios.bin bios-pmpatched.bin (it patches your BIOS to get past the error)afuwinx64 bios-pmpatched.bin /gan (it flashes the patched BIOS on the motherboard)Now reboot.5. Follow again step 3 and use these commands to check if the BIOS has been patched correctly: afuwinx64 bios2.bin /opmpatch bios2.bin bios2-pmpatched.binIf everything worked it will tell you that the program found nothing to patch. After you did this boot from USB and Mavericks will begin installing. EDIT: Guide updated after nettrafficer post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link: https://www.mediafire.com/?8866wtwhp4wi7 After you've downloaded it drag the exe in the "AfuWin64" folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrhoek Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I had to use the Windows vs of PMPatch before it would work. The OSX version had an error in the output file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeeJaaay Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 can you boot with -v -x -f to see anything differ. I'll update this post once I do it. I had to use the Windows vs of PMPatch before it would work. The OSX version had an error in the output file. I used the Windows version too.
