This is my first time building a hackintosh and I'm having a little trouble installing mavericks.

I've tried various boot flags and I keep ending up with a kernel panic. I've checked out other posts with people running into similar problems, but nothing suggested has worked for me.

Hopefully I posted enough information, thanks!

Where did you get Mavericks from?

What installation method are you using? Cimera or Clover, and what tools did you use to build the installer? And what is the version of Mavericks?

And you should post in the Mavericks support form not here in the post installation forum.

Good modding,

I suggest that you follow a guide such as this one which is for a system similar to yours: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-using-hd4600-no-graphics-card-needed.135365/

You did not respond to my question of what boot loader you are using. I assume that you followed the guide to build the USB. Anyway the guide in the link should get you going. And from this point on, post your questions in the Mavericks support form.
