angeluszero Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi, I'm trying to install so x 10.8.2 to an HP Z400. So far I have been unsuccessful and I didn't find much information on this PC. I tried the Iatkos ml2 which I installed to a USB key but during the boot of the installation I get the apple logo and the after a w minutes I get a circle with a slash. I updated the bios, reset to defaults. I have 4X 500GB drives in Raid 0. I tried with and without raid but I get the same result. Based on my PC specs which method would you recommend? I heard of #####, my hack and kakewalk. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883157118CVF This is what I have but with 4 drives. I would like to have them setup in raid 0 if possible.

WaldMeister Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi, First of all, please read this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279451-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/. I have never used kakewalk, based on my experience i would recommend MyHack, the only problem is, you will need a working OSX installation, can also be done in a virtual machine. When booting an OS X installation, you should provide the following kernel flag at the boot prompt: -v This gives a better output on what goes wrong, circle with slash can be anything, with -v, you will get a text output. Take a photo of it, and attach it to your post, for future reference. Good luck.

I have 4 of them and I they are not setup as raid anymore. The bios has only two options, either IDE or ahci+raid Edited February 19, 2013 by Lejenk Removed reference to forbidden tools.

Ok I'll give myhack a try. Was just wondering if it was a bios option or something...

angeluszero Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 i tried with myhack and i have the same issue, disk utility does not see my drives only the USB key. The bios is set to RAID+AHCI but my drives are not setup as RAID... i tried IDE too but nothing works. Why isn't the installation seeing my drives and how can i fix this? I heard of IOATAFamily.kext but also that it was not recommended.... Do i have to use it? Is there other ways and if i do have to use it, how do i load that up during the install? EDIT: i found something about bridgehelper... something about people fixing a similar issue by using 4.0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286503-hp-z400-issue/#findComment-1890692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was successful in installing with the help of a sil3132 controller but after installation the controller wont work. If i put the drive back to mainboard i can start the os but same with the sign at start and "still waiting for root device" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286503-hp-z400-issue/#findComment-1892158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
