vladislav korotnev Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hello everyone. Ever since I built my Hack back in 2012, it was my main computer, running smoothly except for sometimes when it hung with a nasty beep in audio (probably either kX drivers or bad RAM or GPU). Yesterday I updated from 10.9 to 10.9.3 and after fiddling with graphics kexts I was back to work again. Today I was doing nothing but listening to some music in iTunes, and when I tried to copy a track from a playlist with an applescript from Doug's, it did, but opening Finder to the folder where I copied it left me with an empty window with a spinning wheel. Suddenly all tabs in Chrome started crashing, then QuicklookUIHelper crashed too. Any attempt to restart Chrome left out with a crash instantly. I did a hard-poweroff and when I tried to boot, it went up to where it checks the HDD and then shut down (with the proper 'CPU halted' and such). I powered it back on and it shown me '/mach_kernel not found'. With kernelcache it booted and powered off just the same. I got a 10.9 USB and copied mach_kernel from it using Single-user mode. Then I started with ignoring caches. It showed me a lot of lines, but then still, it boots up to the fsck disk check, then shows a 'FIPS POST Integrity Error' and halts. Also when booting via single-user, I notice that /var is missing. Is this even recoverable or my only option is backing up all work data and music collection (that will be 500+ gigabytes, yuck!) and reinstalling? Tried almost all combinations of boot-args in addition to my standard '-v npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes (tried No as well) darkwake=1'. Thanks in advance!

styrian Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hello! Try to add your system board ID from SMBios in the infoplist of AppleGraphicsControl.Kext/Contents/Plugings/AppleGraphicsDeviicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist as last line of the Configmap with the other models in this way: <key>Mac-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</key> <string>none</string> Chanche xxxxxxx with your digits. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladislav korotnev Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Here is the system log for the whole day. The crash started after I clicked "Allow access" for the applescript in the System Preferences. (Or, in particular, when I clicked 'Later' in the dialog asking for donation). I also restored /var by making a symlink to /private/var and the same for /etc. Now all it does is wait for DSMOS... Gotta see if restoring the old kernelcache would help... And yeah, gotta buy new RAM/Audio/GPU just to be safe of this ****. Okay, it did boot after removing the 10.9 kernel, supposedly from the 10.9.3 kernelcache. Now I just need a 10.9.3 image from App Store to get the kernel back. Thanks for all the help! system.log.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
