Scott69 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I guess there are no new ideas? I did as advised and installed to a separate SATA drive and it didn't work.

Scott69 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 What error did you get ? The screen shot above shows all that I can tell you. I don't see an error anywhere. Unless someone can tell me how to capture the text of the whole boot sequence, I don't see any errors.

Mad Marcsen Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hey, maybe i can help you with my experiences on installing Mavericks on an VPCEB4C5E. First i made a bootable stick with this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners-updated-for-mavericks/ I only installed Clover and FakeSMC. NullPower is not needed on my machine. Then i obtained the config.plist for Clover from this guide because on this machine you have to inject EDID, else you get a blackscreen when loading the GUI: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287002-sony-vaio-vpceb4c5e/ I booted the stick with "-v -UseKernelCache=No -f USBBusFix=Yes" I hadn't had any luck for a few times because i missed to install PS/2 drivers for the keyboard However, boot time until the installer was loaded was about 20 or 30 minutes. In this time the notebook dir _nothing_. Maybe you just should gave to wait. Last message on my Vaio was the line with Bluetooth. Edit: Please also try to plug in an external USB keyboard.
