Stuck with spinning ball on Mavericks boot - Alienware 17

Hello,

 

I successfully managed to install Maverics on my Alienware 17 (Haswell) laptop, using iAtkos. Actually i am typing this toping using Maverics.

 

It only worked with Clover.

 

The installation process went smoothly (all the hardware was selected automatically during install). But when booting it doesn't boot normally, it stucks with spinning ball.  It boots only with -x (safe boot)

 

So i am trying to find out what could be the reason why.

 

I have the following Hardware :

 

CPU: Intel i7 4700

RAM:16 GB

GPU: Nvidia 770M with optimus Intel HD 4600 (only Intel is working)

Sound: ALC 8660 (not working)

Ethernet : Qualcomm Killer Ethernet (not working)

Wifi (works fine).

 

 

Also the laptop camera works on some applications (such as photo booth) but it doesnt with others (e.g Skype shows blank) .

 

 

So can u help me out find what is going on?

 

The sound chip is recognized in the system report as Intel HD audio. Is the safe boot that prevents it from working or something else?

 

Also Maps are not showing, although the auto timing zome detects my location. Is it the safe boot?

 

iphoto does not show my photos when clicking on them (i can see them only in preview). Is it the safe boot?

 

And for the camera is it the same reason that doesnt work? (safe boot)

 

Any drivers for Ethernet ?

 

And most of all how can i detect the reason why i cannot boot normally?

 

Thanks and Regards

aah okay, didn't knowed that there are newer iaktos versions out :-)

 

You can boot normal, reboot to safe mode, and upload here your log from console.

 

This would help!
