Sini6a Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hi. While I was trying to start installation on my sort-of-old PC strange thing happened. I tried almost all possible boot flags but after the Chameleon boot the next screen when kexts needs to be loaded etc. was blank. I tried removing all NVIDIA, INTEL, AMD kexts but still problems occurs. Today I tried using "amd" boot flag even if I got Intel CPU and installation begin!!! I am just curious why I cannot start normally and why I can using "amd" flag on Intel CPU. Specs: Intel Pentium 4 3.40Ghz - 1 Core 2 Threads HT NVIDIA Geforce 9500GT 2GB DDR2 RAM Asus P5KPL-AM SE Motherboard with Intel G31/ICH7 Chipset. All best - Sinisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 well, your cpu does not support the mach kernel and needs a legacy one. i strongly recommend you to install snow leopard. legacy kernel by nawcom and be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sini6a Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Ok I will probably install something else I am just testing. And I would ask is there some way to make Mavericks work. I am installing it right now but I don't know will it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
