ninja.tiger26 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hello hopefully i am posting this to the corerct place, i am trying to install OS X to a ivy bridge based machine. but i keep running into a wall any direction i go. i have a gigabit z77-d3h system board with a i5 ivy bridge cpu. 1 hard drive 2tb with a seperate hard drive for osx *( as a test) i gave tried creating a bootable usb with 10.7.4 on it and if i manage to get it to boot it says installs corrupted and cant proceed. and if i try a earlier lion version it works but sees no drives. if i use iatkos l2 cd as a trial it just reboots soon as the os x logo hits. which i think is the ivy bridge.....i think. and wont boot off usb maybe anyone can point me somewhere to help. many thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280281-help-with-ivy-bridge-cpu/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRacerMaster Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Right now, Ivy Bridge isn't natively supported (it only comes with the MacBook Pros). You should create a iATKOS L2 USB but replace mach_kernel with this: http://cl.ly/3Y2m2W241q2B161B1j2c Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280281-help-with-ivy-bridge-cpu/#findComment-1831227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Hurt Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'd recommend you wait till the final release of Mountain Lion later this month. That way you'll have an easier, cleaner, more stable install. OS X 10.8 will have native support for the new 7-series chipset, intel USB 3.0, and ivy bridge CPU and GPU. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280281-help-with-ivy-bridge-cpu/#findComment-1831607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
