WaldMeister Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi. Those screens are hard to read. Well, copy the following kexts to the Extra folder of the USB installer you have created. Boot with -f -v JMicron36xATA.kext.zip AHCI_3rdParty_SATA.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Worth Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hi. Those screens are hard to read.

theconnactic Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well, this shouldn't be happening. You need to know which AHCI SATA controller your system uses, Boot Windows, if you still have it, and get this info from the Control Panel/Device Manager or using Everest.exe, then post it here.

Tyler Worth Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 @theconnactic - You helped me in the AMD forums, Nice I got a Toshiba intel! but its a {censored}! haha I tried UseKernelCache but no luck Here is a report from everest: Report.txt And also A screen shot its the same as befre with UseKernel....

theconnactic Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well, your chipset is intel: Intel® 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller. That means high compatibility with OSX. This issue should not be happening, and you should be getting your installer to work without any issues and modifications. But laptops are always harder to sort out. You'll have to start over. Use the same guide: i used it a lot of times with 100% of success. Take it slow: a single misstep and you'll have issues. Please report back here when you're done. Best regards!

grim90210 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The HD4000 and the intel Centrino wireless are not supported , you can buy a wireless card that will work for around 20 $ but it involves opening up the laptop and replacing the chip , not hard at all but yea. for the resolution fix just find the chameleon.plst and add the graphics mode tag and the desired resolution ex 1600x900x32 then it will display correctly no gpu acceleration tho. If you download ##### it contains the drivers for the trackpad and sound and keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
