Hi everyone!

I'm trying to install 10.8.5 on my new build (look at my signature for further details) from something like 5 days..
I tried with myHack and UB too.  :(

 

My last try:
I created an usb stick with myHack 3.2 Beta 8 and Mac Os X Mountain Lion downloaded from AppStore.
(changed org.chameleon.Boot.plist-> GraphicsEnabler=No)
I ran the installer from chameleon 2.2 with options "-v -f -x": it hangs on [PCI Configuration Begin].
After tried some options like npci=0x3000, npci=0x2000, PCIRootUID=0 and the various combinations I replaced IOPCIFamily.kext (2.8) with 2.7 from 10.8.4.
Can't load kernel kext AppleAHCIPort.kext (2.6.6) and AppleACPIPlatform.kext (1.8) so I replaced them with 2.5.2 and 1.7 respectively.
It goes to the end till the screen turned into blank and the PC restarts, then I added the "cpus=1" option.
I've done it! I'm in the installer...
At the end it shows an error, but the installer was at 100% and completed the installation (always did it, I think cuz of the multiboot with windows, with 1.8.0 I was still able to boot).
I rebooted and tried to enter with "-v -f -x" options.
[PCI Configuration Begin]
I went to Windows and replaced IOPCIFamily.kext, AppleAHCIPort.kext, AppleACPIPlatform.kext with the ones I used for the installation..
With "-v -f -x cpus=1" everything gone alright till:

I don't know how to solve this..
Where am I wrong?

 

PS: How can I get the entire log?

 

Thank You,

Luca

hello

 

check in the installer fakesmc.kext

 

i think is not loaded

 

install it in system/library/extensions

 

good hack

 

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I also placed fakesmc.kext and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in S/L/E from my USB key.. nothing changed!  :(

 

 

After work I'll make a try..  ;)

hello

 

simple put there and are they loaded ?

 

man mac os x use kernelcache ?

 

if u don't force in boot to read all kext .. it read the kernelcache..

 

i think u must read about u try to install

 

-f -v GraphicsEnabler=No

 

anyway u config is not a easy install ..

 

good hack

In the boot's plist I have GraphicsEnabler=No and UseKernelCache=No!

Anyway, as far I know, with -f it should load all kext again.

 

I know  :( my build isn't easy at all.. I tried everything with no success!

You can't just copy them in willy nilly, kernel extensions will not load from S/L/E if they don't have correct permissions and ownership.

 

Use /Extra on your flash drive, permissions/ownership don't matter.

I use Kext Wizard that fixes permissions!  :)

Anyway thank you for the advice!  ^_^
