tragediana150 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) PCI Configuration Begin...hmm, the flag npci=0xXXXX should eliminate this problem. 1. Maybe you should try to unplug every usb devices when you are trying to boot? 2. You can try to add kexts to your drive settings (e.g. AppleNForceATA). Check your bios if you got AHCI enabled. In my case I've got IDE and it works, try to reswitch rhis option. EDIT: And sorry, I didn't see that you are working on vm Edited December 3, 2013 by tragediana150 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294359-boot-stop-at-pci-configuration-begin/#findComment-1973478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(because i'm new to this hackintosh thing 1. My keyboard is still using ps2 connector, is it possible to enable the keyboard during the installation? 2. Currently i don't have any spare SATA hardisk to try maverick on, but i have an IDE(PATA) hardisk that can be used to test maverick. Can it be done? can an IDE hardisk be used to install maverick? if it can, what kext should i put to make it work? 3. When i tested the usb-stick installer, there's some error line in the process, but it still continue to the GUI session, is it a problem? one of the line said something about cannot find /var/db/bootcache.playlist ... is it normal? 4. After entering the GUI session and click the language selection, there's an installation disk error dialog. It said i should try cleaning my disk or something... what is this dialogbox about? my installation usb-stick was made in linux following tutorial from this site...
