CompSCI Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I was having a tough time getting mavericks installed on my old AMD system - so, I purchased a new system... ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Intel 4930k Sapphire Toxic R9 280x 32Gb RAM 512Gb EVO Pro SSD ... I thought I was pretty careful while choosing the components to get ones for an easy vanilla install... However - my install fails after a few seconds resulting in a blank/black screen - and, keyboard locked up... I am using: -v -f cpus=1 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=yes npci=0x2000 ... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... ... [sOLVED] Seems the vanilla kernel (from the 10.9.1 Install DMG) was not cooperating... I used the mach_kernel included in the DSDT package for my MB from the Rampage Dev site... ...

Lutyz Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I met same issue before but different hardware. I made GraphicsEnabler=No and solved it.
