rampageextreme Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hello!I'm new to this forum but have been having a read through and it seems there's some people here who really know what they're doing.I've built a Hackintosh with the following spec:-: Intel Core i7 4930K 3.4GHz (Ivy Bridge-E)-: G.Skill TridentX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 RAM -: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme MOBO-: ASUS Radeon 7870 Graphics Card-: SanDisk 128GB SSD-: WD 4TB HDD (X2, currently disconnected)-: Corsair H100i Water Cooling System-: Cooler Master Case-: Novatech Modular Power Supply Connected to an LG HD Gaming Monitor, currently via DVI (although I will hopefully be using HDMI). I've made a ##### drive using Mavericks on a USB along with #####.I've started the system and got the screen booted from the USB where you can select what to install from. It has USB and a Windows option from a Win7 OS that's installed on the machine (although I want to format the drive and just run OS X for now). If I try to boot directly form the USB (##### Mavericks) by pressing enter, the Apple logo appears (no status bar, just the Apple) and it just stays there for 10+ minutes until I reset it.I have tried loads of different boot commands, including GraphicsEnabler=No/Yes (entered separately), PCIRootUID=0/1, npci=0x2000 and cpus=1 etc - none work.When I boot in Verbose (-v or by selecting Boot Verbose from the drop down) then it runs through the boot process, then within a minute the monitor turns off. I can't see if it's stopping the install and shutting the monitor off, or if it carries on installing without the display.It flashes up a lot of lines of text, but to start with (and within the first few lines) it displays:ACPI Table Not FoundDSDT.aml not foundWhich I'm assuming from everything I've read on here that these are needed?When I boot in verbose it seems to run until it comes up with the following (although it's very quick, cuts off suddenly and is very hard to see! * represent missing letters)**************extensions/webdav********************I've downloaded DSDTSE to download my DSTD file (if it's even necessary) but obviously I can't boot into Mavericks to run the program. It literally won't do anything - either it sits at the Apple logo or it cuts out in Verbose - either way I'm not getting anywhere fast!YOU CAN SEE THE VIDEO OF EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE:http://youtu.be/94fkApNSPJU**UPDATE**The last thing the verbose mode displays is: Starting Darwin x86_64 Boot Args: boot-uuid=FAAA3CFB-04D6-3080-81D5-EC95299909B0 rd=*uuid -vThis is the last thing it displays before the screen goes black and nothing seems to happen!I seem to be getting more and more stuck with this, very frustrating! If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneTemplePilots Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hello! Hi, veeery slow but ; ) I nearly fell asleep watching your video! I'd suggest using npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000 and GraphicsEnabler=Yes on chameleon commandline. You can even try to boot with DSDT=No. I don't know exactly if DSDT is absolutely required for Ivy. At least it looks like the PCIe bridge is not initialized correctly, that's why you get a black screen at this point. But I found out you should possibly have display on internal DVI, look here. bR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it's running so slow - I've not been able to get into it to do anything with it! Ok, so tried that and no luck. I've also tried a lot of the other challenges including: -F -f UseKernelCache=YES PCIRootUID=1/0 GraphicsEnabler=NO/YES IGPEnabler=YES darkwake=0 npci=0x2000 / 0x3000 dart=0 cpus=1 arch=x86_64 -legacy mach_kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi, read rules about Tonymac; Check bios settings make your bootable USB with Pandora Box and install in your system Maybe you need a patched kernel Sorry for my english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
