mutaba Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi.I've been trying to install Mavericks on my desktop but had no success at all. It always stop on a logo screen with spinning wheel, or then in a light grey screen followed by a dark grey screen.I used to run Leopard in this machine, when I had a GeForce 8800GS. This board died this week so I changed it to a GeForce GT 630, then it doesn't worked anymore. Same problem, I get stucked on a grey screen.Well, I already tried almost everything: Graphics Enabler=yes, and all other flags. The same problem happens with Chameleon and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].I'm attaching the last screen with -v option right before the light grey screen.- Asus P5K Premium- Quad 6600- 4Gb RAM- GeForce GT 630 Thanks!

mutaba Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Still with the black screen. When I use GraphicsEnabler = Yes, I have a gray screen. I read a topic at TonyMac that says: Do I need GraphicsEnabler Injection or Not?GraphicsEnabler=NoAll ATI/AMD Radeon 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx, Rx-200NVIDIA GeForce 640+, 7xx, TITANGraphicsEnabler=YesATI Radeon 4xxxNVIDIA GeForce 9xxx, 2xx, 4xx, 5xxNVIDIA GeForce 610-630 So, I think I have to use "YES". But is still freezing on gray or black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi, read rules about Tonymac; in your case try boot with -v GraphicsEnabler=No (or Yes) PCIRootUID=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutaba Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Sorry, Carbo178. I already tryied all the possible flags and none solved the problem. Is it a problem with the graphic card? What if I change it for some other? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Change connection into graphics card (from vga to dvi or hdmi, for example); boot always with PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutaba Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 After 3 trials, it finally entered the installation screen!Crossing fingers that everything runs fine. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Remember the bootflags, is the same you use to boot after installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutaba Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Well, I did the installation with MultiB and it worked fine. But I could not boot after that. All I got was a black screen with a cursor blinking. So I came back to Chameleon installation. Using PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes flags, it freezes right before the screen that chooses the language, it's a gray screen with a color spining wheel (mouse pointer).

Fabio1971 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Bios settings? Try -v and post a photo Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutaba Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Here it is, all my bios settings and a snapshot of the last screen on -v. It stops in this screen for about 3 minutes before goes to the gray screen with the spinning color ball. Maybe bigger is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutaba Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 My system is working perfectly, now... except on one thing. When it sleeps, it can't be awaken anymore. I need to reset it to start using again. Any idea? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 You need an edited dsdt for your motherboard Extract the file with this terminal command: perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while(){ chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP,"|xxd -r -p > ~/Desktop/dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }' You find the file in desktop; compress and send it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
