Newnick Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hello, insanelymac users! I'm addressing you with a sort of urgent problem with my Mac OS X installation. The problem is that I'm loading Chameleon on my PC just okay, after picking my mac volume I see that HFS+ files are loading. After they finished loading, there must be another bunch of texts but it isn't appearing. I see a black screen instead. Here is the video of what exactly happens:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_1Gx6qSbQ8The configuration of my computer: Motherboard: ASUS Z87 Deluxe BIOS Version: 1205 (from July 04, 2013) CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50 GHz DRAM Memory: Kingston DIMM DDR3 8GB x4 (32 GB in total) Graphics Gard: nVidia GeForce GT 220 HDD (for Mac): WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 (2TB) HDD (for Win): ST2000DM001-1CH164 (2TB) HDD (no system, just data): WDC WD15EARS-00P8B0 (1.5 TB) Sound Card: TC Electronics Impact Twin FireWire Card: Texas Instruments FireWire 800 IEEE 1394 Optical Disc Drive: Optiarc DVD-RW AD-5260S ATA Device CPU Fan: THERMALTAKE Contac 39 (CLP0597) (120mm) I need an advice on how to run Mac OS X (no matter 10.8 or 10.9) on the PC with the configuration like that. Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291438-black-screen-on-ml-1084-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsweeting Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've had issues when asking OS X to boot verbosely (i.e. my machine will boot OK if I do a non-verbose boot, but will not boot with -v!) Try: -f cpus=1 npci=0x02000 GraphicsEnabler=no Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291438-black-screen-on-ml-1084-installation/#findComment-1941836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOCKBA80 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I cannot get my GT220 work with Haswell board either. On my board (asrock h87m-pro4) only 10.8.4 patched is booting and only with integrated GPU. When I put my GT220 in, it boots but I am getting black screen (and I believe GraphicsEnabler=no/yes has no effect). There is no option in BIOS to disable integrated GPU (just a way to enable PCIe video card) and I am afraid this may have something to do with that. Any idea what I might be missing? GT220 was working fine for me for years with non-Haswell boards with retail installs, so my assumption that it is natively supported...

MOCKBA80 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 NVEnabler.kext But I have Chameleon 2.x and GraphicsEnabler=Yes Isn't it the same thing as old NVEnabler? I don't remember last time I had to use NVEnabler, definitely prior to getting that GF 220GT Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291438-black-screen-on-ml-1084-installation/#findComment-1950443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOCKBA80 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hmm, adding NVEnabler.kext powers up monitor but I am getting colorful blinking vertical and horizontal lines... I believe I've seen somebody reporting this problem... Any hints on how to fix that?

iFIRE Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 make a EfiString for your card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291438-black-screen-on-ml-1084-installation/#findComment-1950503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 On my nforce hack, I had the same issue (different nvidia card though), and a dsdt injection was required to get it to boot without a blank screen. I'm not 100% sure which patch it was since verdant did it for me, but I believe this is the one you need: http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/guides/inject-your-nvidia-fermi-and-quadro-graphic-card-into-a-dsdt/ . EFI string should work too, but in my case it did not. You should be able to either boot with -x, or if that doesn't work, temporarily move all the nvidia kexts out of the extensions folder, that's what I had to do.

MOCKBA80 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 NVEnabler it was. Thanks guys. I had to use NVEnabler 64.kext http://www.osx86.net/files/download/1989-nvenabler/ with my GT 220. Still don't understand why GraphicsEnabler=Yes didn't work out as with other boards, but oh well Haswell is too new I guess.
