Probook 6570b OS X 10.9

Alright, so here goes. This is my first post so please refrain from dragging me to the butcher yet...

I have one build with OS X 10.9 already running great, my desktop. Thats about the most ive done with anything hackintosh since about 4 years ago and i cant even say I was good when i made my first attempt years ago.

For the record I have tried the probook installer. I used unibeast and was not able to boot correctly. It will display apple logo and then just go to a black screen. I have been reading online that there are a lot of issues with the HD4000s and i have tried setting the resolution manually and injected EFI strings. No luck.

I put my laptop drive in my desktop and install 10.9, also tried 10.8 and 10.7, and used multibeast and the HP Probook installer to try and add appropriate drivers, kexts and all that jun to get it working. Still hitting a brick wall.

Has anyone else had this experience with this model laptop? I know its not too uncommon...

Thanks for the help anyone!

You will want to follow the instructions in the guide. Since you have HD4000, you will need to use the flags as mentioned in the guide step 7a.

Alright if what I previously posted was the right guide and using the boot flags 'PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No -x' I got the black screen again with the install that i have from my desktop on the laptop hard drive and if I try to use my unibeast install then I get whats in the picture below. Been sitting like that for about 7-8 min now.

I dont have the option to disable discrete graphics in my BIOS, could that be of a problem?View attachment 71219

I think the problem could be that you have a mixed system? You should probably get a PCI inventory by running 'lspci -nn' on Linux Terminal. That way, we know what hardware you have...

Well, this time around I got the installer running. Just figured since i got it running ill do a fresh install instead of the previous one. Only thing not working in the installer is trackpad.. but that will be minor. 20 minutes remaining, ill be sure to post my results.

If there was a way to deliver a keg of beer to your doorstep right now I would.Thank you!
