The Build
This is the first time i bought a pre-build Computer and didn't build it myself. So there was nothing to build for me this time. The complete Setup was sold by a German Onlineshop (alternate.de). I decided to buy it, because i needed a new Computer and the components were listed in the early adapters guide.
Anyway i disassembled it, just to be sure everything is done correct.
Installation
First thing i did, was to check BIOS Settings. I loaded the defaults and checked SATA Configuration. Also i changed the boot order of the drives, so it starts from the drive where OSX is installed. Then I disabled the internal graphics. I didn't change anything else. Here are my Settings:
After that i started from my fresh updated USB stick (Updated to 10.9 Mavericks) built with Unibeast 3.0.0. I booted without any kernel flags. Worked like a charme but it took nearly 30 Seconds for the Language Selection Screen to appear. Installation took about 15 minutes. First reboot with the USB Stick also without any Bootflags. In MultiBeast i chose the following options:
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext is not needed here, because of native support. Graphics and USB 3.0 are also supported native.
After the second restart i was facing the Problem, that my AppStore and my iCloud weren't working. So i deleted Networkinterfaces.plist (located in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration), deleted all Network Connections (System Preferences/Network), restarted and added new Connections, Ethernet first ! After that it all worked great.
Summary
Until now i can't find a thing that refuses to work (except FaceTime --> couldn't check that because i don't own a Webcam ). Even Sleep works !
*UPDATE*
Found out that Autosleep isn't working. I can put my Hack to Sleep by pressing the Powerbutton or select Hibernate manually. To get Autosleep working, there is a little app called Narcolepsy 2.0. Put this in your Login Items and it will put your Hack to sleep at the time set in Energy Saving Settings.
I can highly recommend this hardware setup ! Never had a Hackintosh like that. It is fast, everything worked from the start and it runs stable.
