south4769 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 You must not be discouraged, we are near the finish line. Are you sure the graphic card is Intel HD4000? Boot with GraphicsEnabler=No -v -f Yes it is a HD4000 i even checked the website i got it from and my old windows partition! I believe that i am installing it wrong when i select customize.

carbo178 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Deselect modules and video; Control options select GraphicsEnabler and kernel cache. Laptop support select only "Non USB mice and keyboard" Patched kext - Section Power Management select NullCPUPowerManagement or patched AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement Install, cross fingers and reboot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south4769 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ok, do i have to boot with -v -f? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yes, if necessary also try -x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south4769 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Its doing this now ( i am booting with GraphicsEnabler=No -v -f) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Try -x; if not booting try -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes Otherwise you must re-create USB installer With Mode 3 (this option delete all graphics kext). Everything else remain the same (post #15 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south4769 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 THANKYOU!! It worked! I have some questions. What do i do now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm happy that it works What was the command that started the system? If started with-x (safe mode) is no good and we need to understand why you can't boot normally. Try booting only with -v dart=0 If not work it's probably a bios setting, see if you can disable the virtualization support or if there are options for HPET (enter 64bit). Post screen of bios settings. Now tell me the exact model of laptop, and any customizations that you have requested from the manufacturer. I can see correct specifications on the manufacturer site (it's important for determine right kext and boot options). Also put your system in signature (Your profile - My settings - Signature) so everyone can know what to work on. First step for system optimization: Go on "About this Mac" - "More Info" - "System report" - "Graphics and Display"; Post a pic of this. Compress and attach your Extra folder I hope you understand my spaghetti-english Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbo178 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well, now add the string dart=0 in org.chameleon.boot.plist (you can do this with Chameleon Wizard) Post a screenshot of Graphics-Displays (System Report) to determine if graphics card work well or not. Also compress and attach Extra folder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south4769 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Ok, can I put this slider all the way to the left and check off verbose mode so it will skip the boot and I don't have to do anything in the boot? Here is the graphics! Where do I find the extra folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Don't worry, in chameleon wizard (latest version) you can flag dart=0 or dropDMAR=Yes (is the same thing). Also flag UseKernelCache and EthernetBuiltIn Otherwise you explore Hard Drive, in the root you find Extra folder. Download kext wizard and install all graphics kext (you can find it in Mavericks.app or .dmg, in System/Library/Extensions); is necessary for recognize graphic memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south4769 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I haven't edited the org.chameleon.boot.plist because I can't find it, I found it in the USB drive and edited that one but where is the one on my hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
