taytayevanson Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I am getting the error "an error occurred while installing OS X." I have found a few different things that I can't figure out. It seems like my Intel computer is up to the hardware requirements but I don't know what plist settings I should have... i'm using the Chameleon Wizard to edit my plist file and i've tried a bunch of different stuff. This is my computer, and here are my plist settings... plist.tiff I've messed with the plist settings 100 times and can't get it right... I have ACPI mode on in my bios but I can't find UEFI settings anywhere, the bios version is "786G1 v01.23". But since I can get to the installation screen doesn't that mean i'm past most of the issues? I am also getting an error "BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist", no idea how to get rid of that. Do I need to flash my bios to get UEFI settings correct? I have been Googling around on how to do that and can't find out how to do it. I have given it my all... I am stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hello Welcome!!!! Let's go make it right... your boot.plisyt has many unecessary settings... First of all.... Post your hardware configurations in your signature... If your mobo has UEFI, great! Isn't necessary flash your Bios... don't make this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taytayevanson Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 First post, sorry about that I believe my signature now has all of the relevant hardware specifications. Here are some new screenshots of my latest attempt; what I believe are the standard plist settings in Chameleon Wizard at least. plist2.tiff smbios.tiff boot.tiff Here are some of the errors I picked out while using the -v flag. using 64-bit bootcache playlist BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist ** AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider SMC:smcInitHelper ERROR: MMIO regMap == NULL - fall back to old SMC mode No interval found for . 8000000 ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out I used myHack 3.3.1 to create my USB installer, and it appears that i've created it correctly since I am getting to the install screen and even the install process. I formatted the internal hard disk with a GUID boot record, with one partition formatted as HFS+ (Mac OS Journaled or something?) through disk utility, and I think that's correct... and i've tried a bunch of different boot flag combinations that supposedly fix some of these errors but I haven't had any luck! As far as BIOS settings go, I only suggested a flash because there are no UEFI settings to configure. I was able to disable VT and set AHCI at least... Any thoughts here?

Pimentel Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hello With this hardware i believe only Lion will work on this... because your integrated grafik isn't supported in 64bit mode... I gave to you a solution to install OSX... see that please and use that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taytayevanson Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hmmm... okay, i'm not stuck on the internal graphics! I have a GeForce GTX 650 Ti that I could throw in? Would that work or does the internal graphics card have to be supported either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hello650 ti works… but only has support natively in 10.8.5I gave to you another solution to install OSX(10.8.5)See that and try use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
