Prerequisites:
- A bootable UniBeast Mavericks USB installer - Follow this tutorial: Link
- A DSDT
- MultiBeast - You can download latest MultiBeast from tonymacx86 downloads -Link
- KextBeast - You can download latest KextBeast from tonymacx86 downloads -Link
- (Optional) Champlist - Link
- (Optional) Chameleon - Link
BIOS Configurations:
- Main>Storage Configuration
- Advanced>Onboard Devices Configuration
- Power
Installation:
- Boot your machine into the USB drive you created with UniBeast
- Highlight the USB installer and type the following parameters "flags"
-
Code:
GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0
- *Note* The new MultiBeast 6.0 has the GraphicsEnabler kernel flag defaulted to "No" and PCIRootUID set to 1 so this was needed to prevent a black screen after trying to boot into the UniBeast USB to begin the installation. I actually changed the default setting back to "Yes" & "0" on my installer after creating my USB
-
- Go to Utilities and open Disk Utility
- Select the drive that you want to install OS X 10.9 Mavericks on to
- Partition as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a "GUID Partition Map Table"
- Install OS X 10.9 onto the newly partitioned drive
- Reboot after installation has completed and again boot back into the USB UniBeast drive
- Highlight the drive that you just installed OS X onto and boot into it without typing any additional "flags"
- Download the following apps and kexts:
- MultiBeast 6.0 or newer, KextBeast or Champlist (*Note* I prefer, and used Champlist for cache rebuild and kext installations. You can also edit your boot.chameleon.org.plist & smbios.plist settings with it instead of using MultiBeast.)
- VoodooHDA.kext - Attached - (Customized to enable onboard Mic and fix volume slider)
- DSDT.aml file - Attached - (*Note* I created and patched my own DSDT for BIOS version 1602. I did NOT upgrade my BIOS to 1701 for compatibility reasons.
- Place the DSDT.aml file on the desktop
- Launch MultiBeast and select the appropriate drivers for your system. Below is my configuration
- *Note* I will be changing my System definitions once MacPro 6,1 is released
- Go into System/Library/Extensions folder and delete the following 2 kext files:
- AppleHDA.kext
- VoodooHDA.kext
- Launch Champlist or KextBeast and install the attached custom VoodooHDA.kext
- *Note* If using Champlist, be sure to select the correct drive from the dropdown in the upper right hand corner first!
- *Note* My VoodooHDA.kext has been cutom edited for the VIA VT1708S audio codec with working Mic
- Launch Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive
- Launch Champlist and select the SMBios tab (Be sure to have the correct drive selected in the upper right hand corner) and select the following options
- Run the Chameleon bootloader installer, select Customize and install FileNVRAM from the Modules section
- *Note* This will enable iMessage functionality. Feel free to overwrite with Chimera 2.2.1 r2246 again afterwards via MultiBeast
- Launch Disk Utility again and repair permissions a final time
- Reboot and Welcome to Mavericks!
