Hi all,
have a problem while loading 10.9 installer from USB created by guide (Unibeast 4.0.2)

GA-Z87X-UD3H
i5 - 4460
HD-4600
Bios - F9

I have the bios set correctly according to various posts on this board.
Created bootable Mavericks install as per instructions
When I select "USB" as per tonymacx86 Mavericks install, I get to the apple logo, the spinning wheel appears, and then it just stops spinning and gets stuck/crashes. :twisted::twisted:

What to do?? Please help!

Thanks...
 
Tried
-x
-v-f-x

Tried a different usb stick... Same result.

Try -v maxmem=4096

Note: the maxmem parameter should be half your total memory.
 
Thanks for replying Stork.

Tried what you said and this was the result

any suggestions as to what to do next?
Pulling my hair out.
Question... the drive I want to install mavericks on is a dual partition drive. One partition is clean, the other has a previous SL os on it. Would this effect whether or whether not the unibeast usb drive would get past the apple logo screen??

Thanks...

It should not affect the installation to your clean partition. I did this myself not that long ago. The installation program should be booting from the UniBeast USB drive, so in a sense your dual partition hard drive shouldn't be involved at all. Make sure that your boot priority is set to USB, or manually select the drive that you want to boot from to ensure that the USB boot loader is the one that you're using.

Thats what I thought...
Still can't get unibeast usb to get past apple screen without crashing (wheel spinning)

Is there anyone out there that can help?
Desperate... =[
 
I had exactly the same issue with you but I'm using GA-H87M-DH3 with i5 4460.

It appears that the issue is the Intel Graphics HD4600.

I just solved my issue by doing this:

On my bootable USB I went to System/Library/Extensions folder and deleted all AppleIntelHD* files and all AppleIntelF* files.
Then I boot from the USB just by using -v boot flag.

I was able to install Mavericks on my SSD. However when I tried to boot from the USB to the SSD the same issue appeared.

Therefore I needed to delete the same files from the SSD:

1) Boot from USB and select the SSD. As boot flags use -s
2) Once you get the command prompt type:

fsck -fy
mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mkdir zzz_bck
mv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelF* zzz_bck/
reboot

Your system will reboot.

Boot from the USB, select the SSD and on boot options use -v again

This will allow you to complete the installation and use Multibeast to tweak your system / install the bootloader.

Right now I'm in the process trying to find out how can I correctly enable IntelHD4600

I will check that out tomorrow. Let me know how you make out!
Thanks for trying to help!
 
For what it's worth, my booting of the install USB problems were solved with

-v GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 USBBusFix=Yes
​

However, I was still unable to boot the OS installed on the SSD drive after running MultiBeast without (1) booting to the USB, first (and selecting the SSD partition to boot) and (2) specifying -x to start in Safe Mode. I've tried for a week, to boot without (1) and (2), but I mention the above in case that gets you further without the file deletions. Since I set GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 in MultiBeast, I didn't need to set it during boot.

My setup also includes the HD4600, but I have an i7-4770K on a Gigabyte Z97X-SOC.
