Hi!

Im getting quite restless, cause I having problems installing Mavericks on this laptop. Specs are:

http://translate.google.com/transla...shiba.no/laptops/qosmio/x70/qosmio-x70-a-11z/

Im tried using a Passport WD USB harddrive as a bootdisk, and preparing it by using a iMac 2009. The laptop find unibeast but it clicks back to reboot when seeing the grey Apple logo from the installation menu.

Help please? Im so finish with Windows 8.1 :)

You need to patch the kernel. See: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...-locked-msrs-hp-envy-15-j063cl-i7-4700mq.html

Make sure you read everything carefully. Multiple times, if necessary.

As described in the post, the attachment contains a mach_kernel I built from Apple's sources. It was my first workaround to the problem (a kernel without XCPM).

Better is to patch the kernel using the perl scripts provided because it enables native PM in the kernel via XCPM.

Ok read it couple of times, there is a lot I cannot understand. Cant you just explain how to, or where to put this file. Is it on my iMac someplace or is it on the PC laptop before the installation process? Thanks for your help :)

If you're doing it correctly, you don't put the attached file anywhere. Instead you patch the retail mach_kernel with the perl scripts, such that you're using a retail mach_kernel with the changes specified by the perl patches.

The first time you need to deal with this is after you create your Unibeast USB. You will need to patch the mach_kernel that is there using the perl scripts. It is hidden, so be aware of that...

I managed to copy that zip file mach_kernel, extract it and replace to the USB Passport Im using for the boot. I see the Chimera choose screen, but when I hit the USB logo I still get the grey screen with Apples logo and it crashes again..

Dont think the boot: GraphicsEnabler=No -v -x, and PCIRootUID=0 commands works either..

Any more ideas Rehabman ?

Really like to have Maverics on the laptop, the reason I buyed it for... Without buying an expensive Macbokk Pro

:yawn:

That's not what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to patch the stock mach_kernel with the perl patches. But what I think you did will get you going too (just without XCPM).

I take it you have avoided the instant reboot and are now to the point of troubleshooting getting to the installer.

If you have nvidia, you must remove the nvidia kexts from the USB (GeForce*, NVDA*).
And you should boot with IGPEnabler=No -x -v

And how to I patch this exactly?



Im noob sure I know it :) Wish you could be here help me and I would provide you with one beer :)

There are 4 patches total. And the purpose is clearly stated. There are two for 10.9 and two for 10.8.5.

The way you use them is from Terminal (perl is a command line program). You must have vanilla mach_kernel in a directory of your choosing. Let's say you copy it to your desktop, for example:

Code: 
# in Terminal
cd ~/Desktop
perl ... patch #1 xcpm... mach_kernel
perl ... patch #2 lapic... (if necessary)... mach_kernel

After that patched mach_kernel is now on your desktop instead of vanilla (it has been changed by the perl patches). You can then copy it to your USB in the root. For example:
Code: 
cd ~/Desktop
# assuming your USB is called installer
sudo cp mach_kernel /Volumes/installer/mach_kernel
