Asus P5K Premium - stucked on grey screen

[mutaba]

Hi.

I've been trying to install Mavericks on my desktop but had no success at all. It always stop on a logo screen with spinning wheel, or then in a light grey screen followed by a dark grey screen.
I used to run Leopard in this machine, when I had a GeForce 8800GS. This board died this week so I changed it to a GeForce GT 630, then it doesn't worked anymore. Same problem, I get stucked on a grey screen.

Well, I already tried almost everything: Graphics Enabler=yes, and all other flags.

The same problem happens with Chameleon and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

I'm attaching the last screen with -v option right before the light grey screen.

- Asus P5K Premium
- Quad 6600
- 4Gb RAM
- GeForce GT 630

 

Thanks!

Try with : -v GraphicsEnabler=No

Same problem, Fabio. But now I got a black screen.

[Fabio1971]

Try with : -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000

Still with the black screen.

When I use GraphicsEnabler = Yes, I have a gray screen.

 

I read a topic at TonyMac that says:

Do I need GraphicsEnabler Injection or Not?

GraphicsEnabler=No
All ATI/AMD Radeon 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx, Rx-200
NVIDIA GeForce 640+, 7xx, TITAN

GraphicsEnabler=Yes
ATI Radeon 4xxx
NVIDIA GeForce 9xxx, 2xx, 4xx, 5xx
NVIDIA GeForce 610-630

 

So, I think I have to use "YES".

 

But is still freezing on gray or black screen.

Hi, read rules about Tonymac;

in your case try boot with -v GraphicsEnabler=No (or Yes) PCIRootUID=0

[mutaba]

Sorry, Carbo178.

 

I already tryied all the possible flags and none solved the problem.

 

Is it a problem with the graphic card? What if I change it for some other?

 

Thanks!

[carbo178]

Change connection into graphics card (from vga to dvi or hdmi, for example); boot always with PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

[mutaba]

After 3 trials, it finally entered the installation screen!
Crossing fingers that everything runs fine.

 

Thanks!

[carbo178]

Remember the bootflags, is the same you use to boot after installation

[mutaba]

Well, I did the installation with MultiB and it worked fine. But I could not boot after that. All I got was a black screen with a cursor blinking.

So I came back to Chameleon installation. Using PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes flags, it freezes right before the screen that chooses the language, it's a gray screen with a color spining wheel (mouse pointer).

Bios settings?

 

Try -v and post a photo

[mutaba]

Here it is, all my bios settings and a snapshot of the last screen on -v. It stops in this screen for about 3 minutes before goes to the gray screen with the spinning color ball.

 

 

Maybe bigger is better

[Fabio1971]

Bios :

SUSPEND MODE [s3 ONLY]

REPOST VIDEO ON S3 RESUME [YES]

ACPI 2.0 SUPPORT [ENABLE]

ACPI APIC SUPPORT [ENABLE]

 

Try-v GraphicsEnabler = No

It's working, Fabio!

I installed Mavericks and it's running smootly. I just had to add some kexts...

 

Thank you!

[mutaba]

My system is working perfectly, now... except on one thing.

When it sleeps, it can't be awaken anymore. I need to reset it to start using again.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks again!

You need an edited dsdt for your motherboard

Extract the file with this terminal command:

 

perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while()
{ chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP,
"|xxd -r -p > ~/Desktop/dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }'

 

You find the file in desktop; compress and send it

[mutaba]

I extracted it with Chameleon wizard. Is that ok?

dsdt.zip

[carbo178]

Try this

DSDT.aml.zip

Thanks! Seems to be working! \o/
