Lenovo Yoga 13 & Mavericks

Hi All,

I've tried Unibeast, and, on my Lenovo Yoga 13 (Core i7), I get a black screen shortly after the apple logo appears during installation.

Has anyone any ideas, or solution? Anyone got Mavericks installed?

My machine is:

Core i7-3537U
8 Gb RAM
256 GB SSD
Intel HD 4000 Graphics

Thanks
Rob

Please provide complete details in your profile.

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx). For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Thanks for the response, I've updated my signature with as much information as CPU-Z gives. For the Mainboard part it lists the Manufacturer as Lenovo, and the chipset as Ivy Bridge R 09, it does not give a model (just says Invalid). I don't see any HMxx type stuff at all.

Boot with:
IGPEnabler=Y IGPlatformID=01660004 dart=0

Awesome, I get as far as the language installation menu now.

So, I'll backup all my 'horrible' Windows stuff today, and go for the installation later on.

Thanks so much for your help so far.

I have gotten further.

The installation goes through smoothly now following the Unibeast installation guide from this site. However, I can't boot the machine without the Unibeast USB stick, and the boot parameters that RehabMan suggested.

I tried Multibeast with basic DSDT free options selected, and the machine will then not boot. Sits spinning on the Apple logo forever.

I download Chameleon from this site, and installed that. When the laptop boots it now drops to a command prompt saying:

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chimera v2.2.1 r2248
..
hd (0,2) OSX

Press Enter to start up Dawin/x86 with no options or you can:
...etc

.. and if I enter the same boot parameters as before I get a Kernel panic:

Kernel Extensions in backtrace:
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(216.0)

.. if I don't enter any boot parameters, I get the same kernel panic.

.. if I use the Unibeast created boot USB, then OSX fires up nicely.

Thanks
Rob

Installed Multibeast and selected the options mentioned in the link:

[
- UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation
- Drivers & Bootloaders -> Drivers -> System -> Patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement
(be sure to select the version appropriate for the version of OS X you have installed)
- Customization -> System Definitions -> MacBookPro8,1
]

-- Though I'm not sure what the second point means since there was only one option in Multibeast

Still same Kernel Panic on reboot.
Can only boot from Unibeast USB stick with previously mentioned kernel flags and -x

Used Chameleon Wizard to create an smbios.plist,, and had it set to MacBook Air 5,2
Copied it to /Extra

Made the changes to org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Rebooted, same deal as before.. but eventually got back in to OSX (with the Unibeast USB and the -x switch)

I then checked System Info, and can see that it is using the modified smbios.plist file (based on the generated serial number, and system type)

I then ran the HP Probook installer, and selected the SSDT generator, and picked 'i7 quad core Ivy Bridge' from the list of System Definitions

I can now see an SSDT.AML file in /Extra

Rebooted

Same problem, still get a kernel panic, and still can't boot without -x switch.
FakeSMC.kext is present in the /System/Library/Extensions folder, I don't see NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

What is the KP you're getting?

Kernel Extensions in backtrace:
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement(216. 0)

BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task
Boot args: boot-uid=07AF77B8-595B-3A0E-8D3A-D1281CAEDA5B rd=*uuid IGPEnabler=Y IGPlatformID=01660004 dart=0

Mac OS version:
Not yet set

...

I can attach a screenshot, if that will help?
