This is my first attempt at a Hackintosh Build
Have made a bootable USB with Mavericks 10.9.2 as per guide
Boots from USB after numerous attempts with following :
- boot switches - "-x -v PCIRootUID=0 darkwake=0 cpus=1
may need to boot with "boot ignore caches"
- BIOS Settings are crucial will post settings soon
- Hardware stripped back to minimum single 8Gb RAM Module, only 1 SATA device connected 840EVO SSD in SATA 1 port, kb+mouse in USB2 ports on back (under PS2 port), bootable USB stick in USB2 port
I have following initial setup
ASUS Z97-Pro (Wi-fi ac), i7-4770k with latest updated BIOS (902)
1x8Gb 1600Mhz RAM
Samsung 840EVO 250Gb SSD
