So far, I've posted to the wrong forum twice trying to get it in "Catalina Desktop Support." How about giving users the ability to delete their own posts?

My intuition tells me otherwise, and I've been a software developer for 18 years. But time will tell who is correct. OK, then, that's obviously more important than solving this problem.

It sounded like the same problem, so I followed up the guy's original post. It would make sense to pool efforts if indeed it's the same issue, regardless of mobile vs. desktop, right?

I tried the two perl modifications to mach_kernel that you're referring to, but no joy - still hangs at the same place. I did however take the HDD unaltered to an Ivy Bridge machine (3570k), and it booted right up (with no flags other than -v). So it's definitely Haswell causing the...

So what happened, did that fix things? My hang is fairly close to yours, though I don't have the last line. I'm just sitting at hfs: mounted ... root_device.

I believe my problem is very similar to yours, although I'm having it with the mavericks HDD and you're having it with the mavericks installer USB. It's stopping right at the same place. My CPU is Haswell i7-4702mq. I've tried many boot options (-v -x GraphicsEnabler=No), and also added...

No, I already used the USB stick to install Mavericks. I don't want to do it again. The result is what I have and won't boot. The ML machine I'm referring to a separate machine that I don't want to change and works fine. I'm not using IBoot anymore - I upgraded chameleon and that got me...

My Chameleon was old. When I updated it, I'm getting farther. Now I'm reaching the following after which I hang: Got boot device = IOService: /AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@1e0000/AppleACPIPCI/... BSD root: disk0s2, major 1, minor 2 hfs: mounted MAC10.9 on device root_device And it just...

So if there's no iboot for mavericks, then how do you get it to boot when it crashes immediately? After installing from the unibeast usb stick, it won't boot. If I use -x -v (similar with other options), I see all the kexts fly by, and then it crashes right after the line: boot args = boot...

Same question but for Mavericks on Haswell. The Haswell IBoot says, "For Haswell and 10.6 Snow Leopard Only". Where's the Mavericks version of IBoot? I actually tried the IBoot Haswell version up right now (1.0.1) and it crashes instantly if I select "iboot" and crashes a little slower...

As I said, it seems to work fine if I use iboot Haswell to start it, so I'm not sure what's not supported. The only problem right now is the ethernet doesn't seem to be working, but I'm guessing that's because it was booted with iboot rather than in the normal way. You can't run Rosetta on...

I can boot into Snow Leopard just fine on the 4702mq (haswell) using iBoot Haswell, and the apps seem to work fine, though the ethernet is broken. I understand "there is no support" for Snow Leopard, but is there any way to install something permanent to the hard drive so I don't have to use...

The link: http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads just hangs and never brings up a page. Can someone fix it?
