Zurukea Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi all, I'd like to first note that I've spent the last two days searching, and tinkering with this issue and I feel it is now acceptable to ask for help. I am attemping to install Mavericks onto a Sony Vaio Laptop (PCG-71315L) with the following: -i3 380m Processor @ 2.53 GHz - 4 GB memory - Serial ATA drive. I have created a functional USB installer using the monobeast*** 3.0.1 tool. ***I did not realize the issue with regards to this software until after I created this post, I am willing to try other software but I ask politely that my post still be considered*** I have also added the following kext files using Kext Wizard to try and resolve the issue of not having an AHCI option in my Bios. -AHCI_3rdParty_SATA -AHCI_Entended_Injector -AHCIPortInjector -GenericUSBXHCI -LegacyAppleAHCIPort -AppleNForceATA -AppleVIAATA -IOATAFamily -IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector I have also tried various combination of the following bootflags -v -x -f USBBuxFix=Yes UseKernelCache=No GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 Sometimes I get to the apple logo where it hangs for a while and then a small x appears, most of the time I get to the waiting for root device error in -v mode, and once I managed not to get that error but it just hung for no reason after something regarding the bluetooth. I would really appreciate any help on the issue. Cheers, Zurukea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zurukea Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 http://myhack.sojugarden.com/ Hi there, I made a myHack install disk and after trying a straight install I started playing with boot flags. I got as far as a white screen with -x -f -v USBBusFix=YES npci=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler=No If I don't include -v, sometimes I get stuck at the Apple logo, other times I get an error about an EBIOS Read Error. I'm exhausted from working on this all weekend so I need to sleep but if there are any more suggestions I would really appreciate them. EDIT: I tired all this with and without the IOATAFamily kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcai777 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 what graphics do you have? try adding GraphicsEnabler=Yes instead of No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurukea Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi again, Thus far the following applies USBBusFix=Yes ...... EBIOS Error -v ...... still waiting on root device -v USBBusFix=Yes ......White screen Adding GraphicsEnabler=Yes also causes white screen, GraphicsEnabler=No causes it to hang around the bluetooth section. Other boot flags seem to make no noticeable difference. With reards to my graphics, Sonys site has very little information. From what I can gather I have Intel HD Integrated Graphics, perhaps 4000 series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
