RadMac Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hello, I have a problem getting the installer to load I have done the install method(http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/289062-109-mavericks-simple-vanilla-hackintosh-install-guide/) Short desc: the bootloader is Enoch-chameleon r2748, on GPT/HFS+, for legacy bios The issue is when I boot the install usb drive, it starts in verbose, then a gray screen with the rainbow-mouse shows up, and hangs on there. @native resolution. The installation screen doesn't show upI have searched on google before posting I have previously used this method with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and it worked fine,I think there's somethin wrong with the loading process of it: when i did the same on ML, it workedMy Specz:GA z77m D3H motherboard (F14 rom Bios&Uefi modes)Intel i7-2600 SandyBridge (no oc, all settings stock) AMD R7-265 (Sapphire Dual-X)8GB ram (2x4 1333)Display Dell 22' on main gpu DVI out HD Wd CV green 1Tb/ SSD transcend 64GB Detailed desc. My motherboard series is known to work OOTB, and it does on Yosemite, better on ML.The usb will boot even without kext and other mods, Are added fakesmc, dsdt, acpi patch,libc,libc++ from Enoch.I used cameleon instead of clover (will try when installed on HD) because it crashes on my Virtualbox VM (osx 10.11), also crash creating uefi partitions.Bios settings seems to be correct..Boot args:>/Kernel (to load original kernel (10.10, also 10.11 works) from usb root/kernel)>/Kernel -F -x -v dart=0 acpi=0 pcirootuid=1 graphicsenabler=no (dont help ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owbp Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Have you copied BaseSystem.chunklist and BaseSystem.dmg from InstallESD to root of your USB (files are hidden)? Green lines in this guide - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-updated-for-mavericks-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners/ Few things (2 to be exact) are different from ML install method: location and name of the kernel and you have to move base system chinklist and dmg to root of your usb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spakk Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) where you have placed FakeSMC.kext and nullpowermanagement.kext and the other third_party drivers? into /Extra/Extensions/ or System/Library/Extensions/ ?

RadMac Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 @owbp*chunklist and *.dmg were not present, I added them, no result. (still as the photo)The kernel is extracted as said. I'll try another SMbios and the kexts in the link@spakkInside /Extra, I'll move them on /Extra/Extensions and try again Added: /e/e old kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spakk Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) at Yosemite, the kernel does not belong in root. the kernel needs the folder System / Library / kernels / *you need to create the folder kernels and place the kernel, otherwise you can not boot I advise you to read here in the forum in the area of Yosemite, and first of all inform yourself, In addition, you need to consider a few other things look here Edited August 7, 2015 by spakk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadMac Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 found it, it was the kernel missing in /S/L/Kernels, now it starts Thanks Spakk, tx Owbp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
