dannymozzer_ Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi, I've been trying to install Mavericks 10.9, I know it's older now, but It's honestly the version I want to use, the specs of the PC are: Asus P8H61-MX USB3 i3-3220 8GB DDR3 Memory GTX 750 ti 500GB HDD I've been following this guide: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners-updated-for-yosemite/ But, after booting, this is the error screen I get, any guidance on what Kexts, SMBios settings, etc. I need? I can tell I'm probably missing something here. Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFI.zip And please update your signature like explained in the video for future references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Just now, dannymozzer_ said: Hi, thank you, What version of Clover should I use? Because following that guide I linked, it didn't create an EFI partition. Thanks, Dan The EFI folder already contains clover bootloader, all you need to do is to make sure that you set BIOS to boot from UEFI and place my EFI folder in the USB Disk's EFI. Use Clover Configurator or ESP Mounter Pro to mount the EFI partition on your USB disk. When you format a disk with GUID scheme it will automatically create the EFI partition.

And is there a specific SMBIOS I need? Sorry for all these questions, it's just because, following that guide, they used Chameleon bootloader, which is why I was getting a bit confused, so I'm just going to redo my Install USB and use the EFI folder you gave me.

Cyberdevs Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 No problem. You don’t need to remake the USB installer if you used the guide above. The EFI I sent you is from my Asus P8H77-M LE which has a Core i3 3210 which is somewhat similar to your rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymozzer_ Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 OK, thank you. I'll try it out and let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so I did recreate the installer just because I wanted to use the Clover installer, and added your EFI folder, but for some reason, when going to the boot manager, and choosing, "UEFI: USB Drive" I get this error message: And when I press N, it boots into Clover, but my keyboard doesn't work, I can't interact with anything at all, am I missing something? Did you use a specific version of Clover, or is there an option I need to enable or something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I install Clover in a different way? At this point I'm just trying to look at all the potential problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-install-os-x-mavericks-using-clover.125632/ And maybe I have one? I'm not sure if it's both Wireless and Bluetooth though.

Cyberdevs Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I’m sorry the method you used is not supported by us and and we do not support their tools and guides please read our Rules. what you can do is to use the creatinstallmedia method to create the USB disk and then we can continue troubleshooting your issues. Or follow the installation guides from our installation section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
