HI All
Z87n-wifi i7 4770
16gb 1600mhz corsair ram

was able to install Mavericks ok however I only got as far as Multibeast
I have the same issue atm where the screen freezes at apple logo?
I have disabled VT-d in Bios
the system freezes after installation / multibeast / reboot?
In -v (verbose) mode it stops where it tells me my CPU model is unknown 8x3c
and my Bluetooth is connected to transport successfully

to allow me to reboot in to operating system I need bot options -v -x PCIRootUID=1
I have also disabled, Intel Vitalization Tech/ boot mode to Lagacy, XCHI to Auto from Smart Auto
have spent hours trying every combination and now at a loss?

what else could I be doing wrong?
hope some one can help
cheers

I did this, but be advised that BT 3.0 doesn't wake it has to be BT 4.0 if you want your Bluetooth items to wake your hake.

Hi All
sorted! every thing up and running with no probs (as yet)
turns out all I had to do was plug it in to my monitor via HDMI, for some reason the picture from the DVI was unreadable?
I also used the following settings in my UEFI Bios,
-Boot Mode to Legacy only
-Other PCI device Rom Pri to Legacy OpRom
-PCh Lan COntroller Disabled
-Serial Port A disabled
and
-PCIe COnfig to Gen1
Im not sure if I had to do this but I finally got my hackintosh to run after many late nights and hours,
and now too scared to stuff with it now lol
Now I gotta work out the best way to dual boot for Win7
(does any one know if boot camp works with a hackintosh?)
Cheers to every one on this site!
Hope you all had a great Xmas
all the best
apf

Guys - I purchased a working GA-Z87N-Wifi system (it all worked, sleep, 4600 graphics, etc). Unfortunately, I roached the drive!

Now - I simply cannot get Mavericks installed to that original state.

I can get Mavericks installed and booted (without -x) if I deleted all the graphics kext's. I can't seem to get sleep to work (other than it stops).

My graphics environment could be the stock Intel HD4600 or an nvidia 750.

Have spend hours and hours and hours - ugh, ideas?

This was simply too easy - d'oh.

The solution for me was to use HDMI for video (DVI just kept me hanging) - the only reason that I hadn't was because the original port was obstructed by the motherboard name plate (the previous owner installed incorrectly).

Once I plugged into the top HDMI, I started up the install process again and wow.... There was something odd (after the splash, a fuzzy snowstorm, and then... install).

Easy Beast, ALC892 audio, intel ethernet (BIOS set as others have noted), USB 3.0 fix - that's it!
