xcodexif Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hello, I am trying to install Lion on P5LD2-VM Asus motherboad with a Core 2 Duo. After some problems with ACPI tables (I think the BIOS was corrupted and reflashed it), the kernel get stuck at an unknown step, after the FakeSMC and USB loading. [...] FakeSMCDevice: successfully initialized USBMSC Identifier (non-unique): [...] I think that it's not USB-related because I have the same problem booting on a hard drive (without the USBMSC message of course).

iFIRE Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 try this flag -f -x -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcodexif Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 No more, still stuck. I tried Mountain Lion but I have a beautiful black screen at kernel exec then reboot (I think my GMA950 is not supported). So I'll stay on Lion. With the debug=[...] option, when the kernel is stuck and I push the power button, I have 4 lines of log that appears saying the button was triggered => so the stuck is not a crash or panic but the kerel is waiting for something. But what... Is there a more deep debug option for darwin ? Thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcodexif Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ok, I am testing SnowLeopard on it and the kernel boot fine. After the USBSMC message I have a GoBootDevice=IOService [...] message. So maybe Lion's kernel stuck on storage-related problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcodexif Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi, I got a new motherboard, the 4CoreDual-VSTA : http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=4COREDUAL-VSTA I reburnt on an IDE hard drive iAtkosL2 (because this MB can't boot on USB sticks). But I have exactly the same problem : I am stuck at "FakeSmcDevice successfully initialised", with some minor USB messages after. I tried lot of flags and deleted lot of useless kexts. Any help ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcodexif Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 On this MB, I'm using a nVidia 6xxx GT or something like this. (don't want to lunch linux for verifying) Maybe It's too old ? I have a 8800 GT too, I don't tested it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 delete all graphics kexts from USBInstaller, them boot with -f -v -x UseKernelCache=No npci=0x2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcodexif Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ok, this motherboard is so crappy that even linux is unstable on it. I'll wait for a another motherboard... I don't think that's the processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
