Hey guys!
I just finished building an all new computer featuring a Gigabyte Z87n-WiFi, Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3, 8GB Corsair RAM and a GTX 760. I also have a 256GB Crucial MX100 SSD for Windows and a 1TB WD Caviar Blue for Windows programs/files. Then there's a second 1Tb Caviar Blue for OS X + all programs and files.
When I completed the build I started by installing Windows to the SSD and setting everything up. Got it to recognize the first Caviar Blue so that I could create installation folders and libraries on there. The second drive was plugged in, but brand new and unformatted. Therefore, Windows did not recognize it anyway.
Then I shut down the PC, unplugged the Windows drives and installed OS X Mavericks from a USB that I previously used on a z77-D3H board with a core i3 and HD4000 graphics without a problem. Booting took a long time, so I went back into the bios and realized I forgot to disable VT-d and so I did, followed by a clean install of OS X.
Everything seemed to work perfectly (audio, LAN, USB3, GTX760) without even using Multibeast. With the Windows drives still unplugged I tried to boot without the Unibeast drive but I got the Boot0 error. Rebooted into the installation and used the tutorial on here to fix that. Great, that helped. On to the next (and current problem):
This is how Chimera 3.0.1 looks for me:
When I then try to boot into OS X, it just gets stuck at the boot screen. I tried to boot using -v and I got this:
Seems like one of the last things it does is the 'BluetoothHCIController' which my motherboard has built-in. I could not find an option in the bios to turn it off, but I'm not sure it's even the problem?
The last thing it says is 'considerRebuildOfPrelinkedKernel prebuild rebuild has expired' but I have no idea what that means?
The issue now is that I still need the Unibeast drive to boot into OS X, but with that drive('s bootloader) in the PC, it won't boot into my Windows install. I tried adding an OS X bootloader via EasyBCD in Windows but when I selected OS X from the EasyBCD bootloader, it would go into the proper Chameleon/Chimera bootloader (with the graphic interface and everything), then when I selected OS X in there again, the computer would just reboot and I'd end back up at the EasyBCD screen, so I only created an extra step between powering on and failing to boot.
I then removed the OS X bootloader using EasyBCD within Windows again and it removed my Windows bootloader as well without warning so I had to reinstall that. Never using EasyBCD again.
Does anyone have any idea what I can/should do?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Rick
