Current Status:
The System works, but with major issues:
SOLVED --> Graphics: The resolution is 1024x768 and must be 1366x768.

To enable HD4400 graphics, you need IGPEnabler=Yes.

You should also implement native power management: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-haswell-laptops.html

For Ethernet: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296190-driver-for-realteks-rtl810x-fast-ethernet-series/

For USB, try GenericUSBXHCI.kext with -gux_defer_usb2.

-------
I have been changed IGPEnabler to Yes and HD4400 works properly.
Boot with -gux_defer_usb2 after load the GenericUSBXHCI.kext and... USB2.0 and USB3.0 works properly (I will update my guide asap)

Power management and Ethernet requires a litlle more effort. I keep tou updated.

Thank you Rehabman

After the RealtekRTL8100.kext from Mieze (following the suggested link
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/top...hernet-series/ )
the network acces works OK.

(I will update the main post.)

WiFi: I'm using Edimax EW-7811Un USB adapter and works OK. (The installation package has the 10.9 driver.)

What version of Clover?

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

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

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP 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.

I could post here my everest report for you to see.

No. Read post #7 carefully. Modify your profile to contain the five details requested.

Also, you did not answer my question in post #7 (questions are sentences that end in '?')

Forgive me is I'm trying to translate and fix the profile. use the Clover_v2k_r2877 version. much of hackintosh is not in my hackintosh pc but my laptop does not come out.
