0000-1248 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to install OS X Mavericks on my Lenovo ThinkCentre M58 SFF. Specs: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz Motherboard: Lenovo G31T-LM2 S775 RAM: 2GB Graphics: Onboard (soon to upgrade to nVidia GT 210) I am currently getting an issue with it that it freezes on this screen. It stops on 'com.apple.AppleFSCompressionTypeZlib load succeeded'. I've heard that it is possibly a graphics issue? A screenshot is attatched below. Thanks in advance, - Matt Edit: Sorry for the picture being upside-down, I couldn't seem to fix that. Extensions.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 need a clear picture, but also need more information: what boot loader are you using, what extension have you added(and where), are you using a USB stick for install etc... HBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000-1248 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thanks for the reply! I'm using a [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] stick with Chimera 3/4. It has heaps of extensions in /E/E, will post a screenshot. Also in original post there will be a right-side up photo. Thanks, - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 ok... here is a simple solution to try, having made an ASSUMPTION (about your tech level) make sure you have a clean copy of the installer downloaded from apple. download the USB maker from this link, rename Mavericks installer app to 'Install OS X El Capitan.app' without the tic marks. and then run the USB maker. after it is done, run it again and use post install (the second button) and install only the FakeSMC options. an alternative is to use this link, and 'Installer OS X Yosemite.app' without the tic marks. as above. post your Progress and let me know how it turns out. and if the error, or where it locks up is different.

0000-1248 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Mate I made my own installer. I was just trying te dreaded [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to see whether I got different results, so please don't assume I'm at a low tech level. Thanks for the solution though! I will try it tomorrow or whenever I have the time. If this doesn't work, I've heard people have gotten it to work with a distro, but I like to keep my installations as vanilla as possible Thanks, - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000-1248 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks! It did the trick. I reckon it was Clover that did it. I would've tried it if I'd known it had a Legacy option though. I thought it was UEFI only! Anyway, Thanks so much! - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
