This is my first Hackintosh build and I am very happy it's finally working without any issues Every evening last week I was struggling to run OS X on my Hackintosh but not successfully. My first install was not able to run Intel HD4600 graphics, no kext was loaded, flickers in Safari and everywhere else. After many hours reading forums, I reinstalled OS X with just -v boot flag. Installer hang after a string "efiNVRAMPublished...". I though it hang. Indeed, it did not hang, I heard voice was speaking via my speakers, something about selecting installer language or so... YES! At least my ASUS external sound card was working natively. And then I though why not pulling out my video cable and attaching back. Pulled out DVI-D cable, attached. Hmm, black screen, monitor slept... And after a few seconds - BOOM, installer screen came up with my monitor's native resolution! Installed everything smoothly, rebooted, everything started. Opened here:
...then checked here:
Finally, installed MultiBeast 6.3.0, repaired permissions, rebooted.
What works:
- TP Link WDN4800 card (natively)
- ASUS Xonar U7 Echelon (natively)
- Sleep, shutdown, reboot
- Intel HD4600 (natively)
- Realtek Audio 892
Didn't check:
- Realtek LAN card
- USB 3.0 speed
