ts1ngh Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Tackling my first hackintosh here,I purchased and put together a hackintosh spec'd build (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ts1ngh/saved/3k6a) and I want to go about installing Mavericks on it. Right now there are two HDDs in it, one with 8.1 and an empty one that I want to use for OS X. I do want to dual boot them.Relevant Hardware specs are the following:Core i7 4670kGA-Z87M-D3H (LGA1150)EVGA GeForce GTX760I want to do a fresh install of Mavericks, what's the best way to go about it?P.S - I also have a Optiplex 745 that I picked up from work, gonna work on that after this machine, that'll be a OSX only setup.

Thanks for the MyHack guide, but based on the guide, should I start from ML or start from Mavericks? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts1ngh Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Finally got around to trying the install again.. - Used the myHack guide to make the USB installer with a Mountain Lion VM (OS X 10.8)- Booted with PciRoot=1 (because of the install giving me a blank screen)- Got it to boot but once I select the language, I get "OS X cannot be installed" with a log screen.- Tried again with -v and still got the log screen.I've attached the log files here. One is just the error log with -v and the other is the full error log from start to where I get the error. Thanks for the help! -v error only log.rtf -v full log.rtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts1ngh Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 IT WORKS! FYI, I'm dual-booting with 8.1 and OS X, on two different HDDs It recognizes my CPU GPU and motherboard, shows up as a MacPro 3,1There isn't any sound, nor LAN. Plus, it doesn't recognize my terabyte.Should I use the files from here? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291886-gigabyte-ga-z87m-d3h-i7-4770k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts1ngh Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I upgraded to an SSD and did a fresh install of mavericks 10.9 with myHack.- I have to use "PciRoot=1" for the OS to show up on my displays- Tried using (https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALC892) for audio but no luck on that.- Will I need additional tweaking to support my USB 3.0?.
