SoftwareGuy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Do I need to use a special kernel or something to boot the OS X Mavericks Installer from USB on this AMD Build which has a ASRock 970Extreme3 Motherboard and a AMD FX4300 Quad-Core CPU? Here's what I see on Clover's UEFI screen: I followed this guide, located here, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298074-guide-create-boot-usb-installer-os-x-mavericks-on-windows/ , and made two USB drives, one to run Clover and one to hold the OS X Installation USB. Clover boots the installer as follows: But then I get a reboot. Bummer. Back in clover, I select the verbose option: and I get the following: ...but then it freezes and volia. Back to UEFI splash. Apparently I need a AMD Kernel for this to work but I'm not sure how to get the kernel booted. Could someone help me through this (as in, where to put the kernel so Clover can boot it) ? Rig Configuration: ASROCK Extreme3 970 Motherboard 4GB DDR3 Corsair Memory Boot USB is in USB2.0 Ports on back of Motherboard No HDD (barebones configuration, to check compatibility) OS Trying to Boot: Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Thanks guys! EDIT 1: I see there's a AMD kernel here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/255-amd-kernel-for-mavericks-109109110921093/ but how do I apply this so the installer can use it? EDIT 2: Got it booting to a part where it says [PCI Configuration Begin] and then it just stops... Edited July 19, 2014 by SoftwareGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try to pass the: npci=0x2000 To the kernel. I'm not sure how that's done with Clover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftwareGuy Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 You should try to pass the: npci=0x2000 To the kernel. I'm not sure how that's done with Clover? Did that, got further, but stalls at: panic: HPET Not available... CPUs configured incorrectly after some time. I think it's something with either the UEFI BIOS on the motherboard or the CPU not being supported... Even with the following: -v slide=0 -f -x npci=0x2000 cores=1 It still throws that exception. However, on my work Intel rig, it works fine - OS X Installer boots up like there wasn't any issues (hah, because Apple loves Intel or I've just got a winning combo of parts in the Intel rig). I think I will try to still get the AMD rig booting, but if it's just to the installer, I'm happy. I'll play around on my Intel Core i3 hackintosh.

SoftwareGuy Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Gave up on the AMD Hackintosh, went and installed Mavericks on the Intel Hackintosh. Pretty much everything worked out of the box, apart from my GPU and WiFi PCIe Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Jackson Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 panic: HPET Not available... CPUs configured incorrectly You need to Enable HPET Support in your Bios/UEFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
