HP Envy 15 Mavericks Hang (Super IODevice)

[xxshabsxx]

Hi all!

 

So I've been having problems with installing Mavericks on my laptop (HP Envy 15-q004tx). Ive had 0 problems on my desktop, but this is giving me a headache.

 

This is where It's been doing my head in, big time. It just hangs at the screen below. I can move the mouse, but my USB no longer flashes and occasionally the spinning wheel will pause, and then continue spinning.

 

 

 

 

I've tried booting with -x, -f, and -IntelAzulFB=11 

 

Nothing works, it just hangs. Sometimes there will be two lines of the Super IODevice, sometimes one, somtimes half a line. Leaving my to believe that its infact freezing rather than hanging.

 

One time I got it to boot into installation, realizing that I forgot to partition my HDD, I exited out and cannot get it to boot since.

 

I've been follow this series of tutorials;

 

 

And doing it exactly, and nothing seems to be working.

 

Any solutions?

 

This is the link to the specifications of my laptop;

I am using a SSD rather than the 1TB HDD.

 

Thanks heaps for reading.

Just guess, from past installation experiences,

Graphic Kext unable to load,

to confirm that is the case,  delete associated kexts  from System Library Extensions,

if it boot to 1024x768 resolution, it is the graphics kext.

 

Example,  ati 5450 will hang like this, after delete Amd5000controller, and x3000, it will  boot to 1024x768.

IntelHDGraphics 0x46 will need to delete AppleIntelHDG*,

intel HD4600, need to find out which kext to delete.

 

if it boot to 1024x768,  then you can download a patched kext set for HD4600 and install it.

NVIDIA GeForce 850M  kexts may also need to be deleted.

Clover has problem detecting graphic id on laptop,

if you are using clover, try chameleon.

Look at console see [AGPM] unknown  or show id 8086:00xx or 10DE: 00xx 

to see which graphic was detected.

On, i saw it, unknown platform!

may need to inject proper id.

On lenovo,  there is button to push set graphic to Nvidia.

Is there a button like that on HP?

found this on HP site, Bios Settng

 

  Hybrid Graphics Enable / Disable or allow BIOS to automatically enable / disable Hybrid 

Graphics based on OS (when set to Auto).

When set to Auto, Hybrid Graphics is disabled for certain Linux OS.

When set to Disable, only the integrated graphics adapter is used on 

selected platform. On Workstation, only the discrete graphics adapter 

is used.

When set to Enable, both the integrated and discrete graphics adapters 

are used.

Enabled

(Auto on 

Workstation)

Yes

hello

 

try to use dart=0

 

only fakesmc.kext not the plugins

 

and maybe if u use chameleon must use a modified kernel

Thanks both of you for your replies.

 

I got it working!!!

 

What I did;

 

1. So I patched the kernel to work with haswell CPU's

2. Used new chimera instead of the older one I was using

3. Patched Installer to work with MBR disks instead of GUID as my windows + other OS is on MBR

4. Booted with dart=0 (thanks artur!!), nv_disable=1 and the ofc -v

5. Then installed correctly, and copied the kernel from install USB to HDD

 

Now I just need to get sound, battery, network etc..etc.. working
