Hi,

Built my first hackintosh today and everything seemed to work. I used this clover guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...-how-install-os-x-mavericks-using-clover.html

Everything went well (multiple manual reboots after installations, and so on ...) until i did this: http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/123974-nvidia-web-drivers-10-9-x-mavericks-found.html

I installed the Nvidia web driver and pressed 'restart'.

My machine rebooted, the clover bootmenu asked me which drive. As before i chose my normal mavericks SSD. The ssd started to boot (apple logo and spinning wheel).

then: everything black, reset, restart, same again.

I cannot get into my mavericks install anymore.

any ideas on how to fix that? (system in signature)

You have a backup? Clone drive or TimeMachine?
Boot with the Clover install USB, select the drive icon with the red cross on it. Hit enter

no time machine / clone / backup yet. it's a really new build (2-3 hours running so far) was just about to be done getting everything to run and then take the first backup :)

so you dont think ther'll be a fix except reinstall/backup?
 
Fixed it:

1) rebooted with nv_disable=1
2) updated all nvidia drivers
3) set nvda_drv=1 and removed nv_disable=1
4) reboot without caches
5) reboot normally

works again :)
