bobruub Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi all, Been a few years since I've done a hackintosh build, my old Dell Mini 9 is still plugging away So, I've picked up an old Dell e4310 latitude and have been trying to get OS 10.8 installed. So the install works fine after the following chances. 1. removed the following from System/Library/Extensions ATI = ATI*Intel = AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelSNB*nVidia = GeForce* NVDA* 2. used the following boot options -x -v -f graphicsenabler=no cpurootuid=1 3. new HFS partition GUID 4. change SATA in bios to ACPI. It seems to install fine but when I reboot the cursor just flashes in the top left hand corner! Any ideas what to do. Thx. ps: Apart from my dell mini 9 (with its puny hard disk) I dont have access to a MAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexdb Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Boot from the USB you made using F8 and choose the USB stick. Then you just spam the arrow keys so the bootloader gives you an option to put in boot flags. Select the drive OSX is installed on, and try those" -v GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 npci=x3000 Everything is case sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruub Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Update: I can choose to boot from the USB stick and then choose the hard disk and it boots up correctly. But a normal reboot to Internal HDD just stits there. I suspect i've got to do some post install steps, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruub Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 another update: I've found the "Choose Start Disk" utility but when I choose the HDD and click Restart (and confirm restart) it doesn't restart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You need to install Chameleon onto your HDD to boot from it. You can download it here, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/getdownload/2267-chameleon-22-svn/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcai777 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 How did you try installing? try booting with -x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruub Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 How did you try installing? try booting with -x Downloaded to USB form teh link and ran the package, continue, continue, not much to it. re-doing with -x as we speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You removed the Intel graphics kexts. Where it is hanging is where the graphics loads. You need to enable your graphics using those kexts. You will be able to boot with -x as dcai777 suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruub Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 OK, So I tried booting with the following options: -v -x GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 npci=x3000 And it still hangs. I created another boot USB without deleting the Intel drivers via transmac (same boot options) but it hangs as well... Thanks for all your help so far.

Shaneee Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Did you try with GraphicsEnable=Yes ? Also try the Clover bootloader and inject Intel Graphics with it. If that fails you may need to make a DSDT for your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
