unfortunately I can not download the Extra folder.

either the link is broken, or my firewall is armed?

Please use this provider: http://www.file-upload.net/

 

....

 

I'm assuming you meant AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, in which case I did remove that. It made no difference. Kernel is AnV 10.9. My boot flags are set in the chameleon.boot.plist, the link should be correct now.

 

Edit: Your repost still has the incorrect link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/77418315/Extra.zip

first of all repair the permissions

 

boot with this flag: -s npci=0x2000

 

chmod -R 755 /Volumes/Mac/System/Library/Extensions                        (press Enter)

chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/Mac/System/Library/Extensions            (press Enter)

exit                                                                                                                 (press Enter, then your system reboot)

You are still aware that I cannot get to single user mode, correct? Any alterations I make are through connecting the HDD to my computer. I could perform those same tasks through Terminal on my working computer, but doesn't 'Kext Wizard' perform the same permission changes to those directories / files?

You need system.kext and sandbox.kext from 10.9.0 not from Version 10.9.1

I got 10.8.5 nicely working (except for a few liveable bugs) on my AMD FX81xx setup. I only needed the kernel and several kext to get it working.

 

1. can I use the same kext and expect it to work under 10.9?

2. Can I use 10.9.2 install app?

3. which kernel should I use?

4. can I use chameleon so I can boot?

 

thank you very much

 

my complete specs are in my sig.

1) Install Mavericks 10.9.0 with myHack to a USB stick, add the AMD kernel in the root directory

2) If you want to install 10.9.2, this is not the official Apple version that apple offers to download (possibly an illigal version!!!)

go to the apple website and download the version 10.9.0, it is better and then you can gradually update!

3) take BSA_Kernel R6, R7 or R8 or R9 or, cassa1, cassa2 all these amd_kernels should work with your hardware.

4) you can install chameleon or clover, it does not matter-both run well

I have an rMBP running Mavericks and using the Mac AppStore, I was able to download 10.9.2. Is it better to start from 10.9.0 or can I just use 10.9.2?

 

10.9.0 isn't available anymore from the AppStore. I have to resort to downloading 10.9.0 via torrent if I can't use 10.9.2.

 

thanks again

You can install 10.9.2, then you have to take System.kext and sandbox.kext from 10.9.0 and copy to s / l / e, AMD kernel to root ... then you can easily boot from 10.9.2. Good hack!

can you please link me to system.kext and sandbox.kext? As I said, I don't 10.9 install as it's not available from the AppStore anymore. thanks very much

Look to my post # 1975 and install the USB stick with myhack then you not need to install any other drivers,
all drivers are included. If the system some where to stop, then make a photo and upload it here. Then we can try to help you

 

 

Edit:

 

booting you with a DSDT.aml? If you should have problems with your graphics card? so that the system ends in a black screen, because I do not know if your graphics card is fully recognized,

if not, then create a raw DSDT with DSDT Editor on OS X (or with aida64 on Windows) ,  without to compilers the DSDT and upload it here so I can get patch the graphics card into the DSDT.aml

Does anyone have the stock 10.9.1 or 10.9.2 AMD graphics kexts they can zip and upload for me?  I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks.  I need all of 'em.

I have just read your message, I have almost all Extensions folder from various versions which drivers do you need? send me a PM

Nice that you have found an alternative, your system is running with a dsdt? that would be a way to try to get the HD 5750 to run under Mavericks.


Edit:

 

has done, I have just found your dsdt from your tutorials and seen that you have patched the Radeon HD 5750 in your DSDT.aml


probably your "XFX ATI Radeon HD 5750" has not been properly patched .

In your DSDT.aml I have read that you have entered this chip "Vervet " .
But your graphics card is built-in this chip " Juniper LE."

.... I do not have much experience with it , maybe the dsdt is the cause of the problem?

FYI  for Capt.Knowitall :

 

 

Juniper -> Chipset 

 

Vervet -> Framebuffer (and the correct one on Top ) 

 

and 5750 works flawlessly in 10.9.2  after editing the kexts ;)

I'm also stuck at 10.9.1 because on 10.9.2 the ati 5750 stops working, even after changing the kexts to the same I'm currently using in 10.9.1.

 

Could you please elaborate how have you managed to get it working?

 

I didn't patch dsdt to add it, the only patch I have on dsdt is for the ethernet card.

my Patched kexts from  10.9.2 -> http://cl.ly/261W2q1L3i38 install with Kext Utility

I've got a dumb question. I recently bought another MSI GTX 660 for SLI. I tried to boot Mavericks with the new SLI setup and was greeted with a nice black screen before the login screen. A couple of Google results says that OS X doesn't really support SLI, but that was for Mountain Lion  and Lion. I'm pretty sure that goes for Mavericks too, but I just have to know from the only source I trust. Is there anyway to get SLI working on Mavericks? Thanks.

Has anyone else had extremely poor performance after upgrading to 10.9.2? I follow the instructions carlo posted. it boots to login without any unusual boot flags but the performance is terrible, like it runs better in safe mode terrible. This appears to be kernel independent as the problems occur with both the BSA v9 kernel and the v6 kernel. Does anyone have any similar experiences and/or any ideas on where I should start looking to figure out what's causing it.
