GingerBraFace Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have successfully installed Mavericks (10.9.1 I think) to an internal 500gb HDD dedicated to Mavericks. I used myhack to make the installer and then copied a custom kernel onto to external drive. This is the kernel I used for the installation: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/181-amd-109x/ I had to use the bootflags "GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000" in order to boot the installer. But I can't boot the now installed Mavericks using the bootloader on the external drive I used to install it (the myHack one). I've tried various different bootflags with no success. I have also tried all the kernels I could find with no success. Is it a bootloader issue? Or am I doing something really stupid? My Specs: motherboard: sabertooth fx990 cpu: fx-9590 Graphics: GTX 760 RAM: 8GB (Cosair Vengance 1600MHz) HDDs (if relevant): 1TB Seagate Barracuda: Windows 8.1 2TB Seagate Barracuda: NTFS Space 500GB Western Digital Blue: Mavericks Even if you don't know a solution, any ideas are appreciated.

Dontview Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Did you copy the patched kernel after the installation from your installation device to your internal hdd? If this is the case, try this solution: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294770-109-post-installation-reboots-at-darwin-on-amd/?p=1978215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerBraFace Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I did not. Can I do this using terminal? I have no way to access the HDD (to my knowledge) apart from via the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontview Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yes, just follow the link above.You have to start the installation again and use the integrated terminal in order to copy the mach_kernel on to your HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmos Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 if you have windows just use......transmac or mac drive .... or Enter the following command:rm /Volumes/"Name of hard drive"/mach_kernelReplace "Name of hard drive" with the actual name of the hard drive that Lion is installed on. Keep the quotation marks in the command. This command removes the standard kernel from the hard drive ("rm" stands for "remove").Next, enter this command:cp /Volumes/"Name of USB drive"/mach_kernel /Volumes/"Name of hard drive"/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
