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.

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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296970-niresh-installation-strange-thing-happend/#findComment-2006336 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.
