10.9.2 on Sabertooth x79 Core i7 3930k with Overclock [GUIDE / ADVICE / FILES]

[rseemueller]

Looks like you forgot to install NullCPUPowermanagement.kext / FakeSMC.kext or you have force C/P states in your smbios.plist

I have the exact mobo and cpu combination and thought that I followed your guide, however I very clearly missed something. I'm having this same issue. It won't even boot from USB. Is there a way to fix those kets if you can't even boot from a USB drive?

Thanks for the thread. You're helping all of us that aren't dopes like myself.

Make sure you use these boot-flags to boot : -v npci=0x2000 cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=no

If that doesn't work try: -v npci=0x2000 cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=no dart=0

Also make sure you install "EasyBeast" from Multibeast once you're on your desktop.

Hope that helps.

I learned years ago how to install kexts on my own, which is what raises the question of why. For example your guide installs the 6 core cpu kext via multi beast but also installs it via your zip file. Why install them twice?

Thank you for posting your bios settings. I do not see in the pictures any mention of ACPI 2.0, ACPI APIC, or HPET mode (I see it enabled, but not a mode select)

Tried every flag I know to try. Doesn't matter if I'm doing OS X or USB, still hangs at NullCPUManagement or KeyStore. Was working fine until I botched your guide. Pretty clueless where to go from here as I can't boot to anything.

I tried everything too with this hang, its more time effective to reinstall, and attempt the guide again, but there isn't any point till we get all the bios settings sorted, I think that is what is messing us up.

 

[rseemueller]

How do you reinstall of you can't boot from unibeast either?

 

[Rankel]

you mean you can't even boot into the installer? go back and reset bios optimized defaults, make sure your vt-d is disabled, and reboot from your unibeast drive, select the installer, and boot with the specified boot flags.

I was able to boot to the installer. Thanks for the help.

To see whether I botched it the first time I attempted the guide again and came to the same error -- FakeSMCKeyStore. Just hangs there. I'll have to assume, like you, that our BIOS is missing something critical. I tried to go through the screen shots but am still unsure of a couple items. Mainly the first 2 listed in the guide. I was able to find the others. (At least I think).

Oh well, I'll put it on the shelf until this is ironed out.

Yes, we will just have to wait for the bugs to be worked out of the guide. I got everything but sleep working with a different guide, but I am still wanting this one to work for me.
