HP XW6600 white screen; spinning beachball

[JopieDeVries]

I created a bootable usb stick via the terminal command with the downloaded El Capitan from the play store.

Then I I followed half of this guide to get the Extra map correct.

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app

After that I used Chameleon to install the bootloader. I used Enoch r2829

As bootflag I used: -v dart=0 but the system hangs at NVDANV50HAL loaded and registered.

I waited for a couple of minutes and the screen changes to the installation at least it the system wants to start it. Except the screen stays white and I can see the beachball spinning over and over. 

 

I also tried the bootflag nv_disable=1 without succes. I am kinda lost now on this one.

Hope someone can help me.

 

 

Specs:

Chipset: Intel 5400

RAM: 32 GB DDR2-6675 ECC

CPU: Dual Intel Xeon processor1 E5240

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro FX 370

NIC: Integrated Broadcom 5755 & Broadcom 5751

No smart people around here that have a solution for this issue?

 

I also tried nv_disable=1 and that gives me the same results.

hey man, 

 

i'm building mine with mavericks at the moment. my bios is default, v01.18, f9 to boot from usb in the back. not a fan on using front USB for 

XW6600, x5260, 4GB, GV-687OC-1GD, still has the LSI controller in there too with a 146GB drive hanging off it (will SSD it soon)

I used an oldish guide from that other place, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.0.1- havent got to MB yet but will use 6.5.1. My boot flags, -x -f -v GraphicsEnabler=Yes and booted straight away to install. had to use disk utility to lay down a partition but no issues, its currently building right now as i type this on my macbookpro.

check if you copied  BaseSystem.chunklist , Applediagonistic.chunklist and applediagonistic .dmg on your installer media.

 

 

following entries in your boot.plist
