New build Hackintosh gets stuck on Apple logo and monitor turns off - PLEASE HELP!

[rampageextreme]

Hello!

I'm new to this forum but have been having a read through and it seems there's some people here who really know what they're doing.

I've built a Hackintosh with the following spec:

-: Intel Core i7 4930K 3.4GHz (Ivy Bridge-E)
-: G.Skill TridentX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 RAM 
-: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme MOBO
-: ASUS Radeon 7870 Graphics Card
-: SanDisk 128GB SSD
-: WD 4TB HDD (X2, currently disconnected)
-: Corsair H100i Water Cooling System
-: Cooler Master Case
-: Novatech Modular Power Supply 

Connected to an LG HD Gaming Monitor, currently via DVI (although I will hopefully be using HDMI). 

I've made a ##### drive using Mavericks on a USB along with #####.

I've started the system and got the screen booted from the USB where you can select what to install from. It has USB and a Windows option from a Win7 OS that's installed on the machine (although I want to format the drive and just run OS X for now). 

If I try to boot directly form the USB (##### Mavericks) by pressing enter, the Apple logo appears (no status bar, just the Apple) and it just stays there for 10+ minutes until I reset it.

I have tried loads of different boot commands, including GraphicsEnabler=No/Yes (entered separately), PCIRootUID=0/1, npci=0x2000 and cpus=1 etc - none work.

When I boot in Verbose (-v or by selecting Boot Verbose from the drop down) then it runs through the boot process, then within a minute the monitor turns off. I can't see if it's stopping the install and shutting the monitor off, or if it carries on installing without the display.

It flashes up a lot of lines of text, but to start with (and within the first few lines) it displays:

ACPI Table Not Found
DSDT.aml not found

Which I'm assuming from everything I've read on here that these are needed?

When I boot in verbose it seems to run until it comes up with the following (although it's very quick, cuts off suddenly and is very hard to see! * represent missing letters)

**************extensions/webdav********************

I've downloaded DSDTSE to download my DSTD file (if it's even necessary) but obviously I can't boot into Mavericks to run the program. It literally won't do anything - either it sits at the Apple logo or it cuts out in Verbose - either way I'm not getting anywhere fast!

YOU CAN SEE THE VIDEO OF EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE:

**UPDATE**
The last thing the verbose mode displays is:
 

Starting Darwin x86_64

Boot Args: boot-uuid=FAAA3CFB-04D6-3080-81D5-EC95299909B0 rd=*uuid -v

This is the last thing it displays before the screen goes black and nothing seems to happen!

I seem to be getting more and more stuck with this, very frustrating! If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.

Hello!

 

Hi,

 

veeery slow but ; ) I nearly fell asleep watching your video!

I'd suggest using

 

npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000 and

GraphicsEnabler=Yes

 

on chameleon commandline. You can even try to boot with DSDT=No.

I don't know exactly if DSDT is absolutely required for Ivy.

At least it looks like the PCIe bridge is not initialized correctly, that's why you get a black screen at this point.

But I found out you should possibly have display on internal DVI, look here.

Will try that now, thanks a lot for the reply. Not sure why it's running so slow - I've not been able to get into it to do anything with it!

 

Ok, so tried that and no luck. I've also tried a lot of the other challenges including:

 

-F

-f

UseKernelCache=YES

PCIRootUID=1/0

GraphicsEnabler=NO/YES IGPEnabler=YES

darkwake=0

npci=0x2000 / 0x3000

dart=0

cpus=1

arch=x86_64

-legacy

Hi,

read rules about Tonymac;

Check bios settings

make your bootable USB with Pandora Box and install in your system

Maybe you need a patched kernel

 

Sorry for my english
