[resolved] Z87X-UD5H unibeast 3.0.1 unable to install 10.9
Just assembled my parts and I'm trying to get to the 10.9 installer and I'm never actually reach the installer screen despite checking out every thread I can find here including trying to follow froghammer's set up.
I've set the BIOS options to:
XHCI Hand-off: Enabled
EHCI Hand-off: Enabled
Intel Virtualization: Disabled
XHCI Mode: Auto (not Smart Auto)
VT-d: Disabled
SATA ports were by default set to AHCI.
I've gone through several flag options, and combinations of:
-x, npci=0x3000, npci=0x2000, PCIRootUID=0/1 and GraphicsEnabler=No/Yes and still can't get to the installer.
I've also reformated and reinstalled the Unibeast 10.9 USB stick twice using Unibeast 3.0.1
when I use verbose mode I see these same errors constantly:
BootCacheControl: unable to open var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or director
Previous Shutdown Cause: 5
SMC::smcInitHelper ERROR: MMIO regMap == NULL fall back to old SMC mode
hmm.. mismatch sizes 3100 vs 20
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start-waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement)
-- power management may be incompatable or unsupported
There is usually a line or two after this but I can't see it because it flashes away too quickly to a gray screen which is replaced by dark blue/light bluish-white lines horizontally across the screen several seconds later.
Specs:
Z87X-UD5H
i5-4570
1x4gb PC3-12800 (Corsair Vengence)
120gb Samsung 840 EVO
Using onboard video with a DVI to HDMI currently.
USB keyboard and mouse, nothing else attached or pluged in.
