Following the tonymacx86 guide, I'm stuck on Step 4,4. I've been stuck here for 6 hours.
After the first few failures, I updated my Bios. I tried using different monitors. Tried sticking the USB drive in various ports, settling on a 2.0 one. Then, reading through the forums, I've tried a mind numbing variety of boot flag options. I only sort of understand what that's all about. Kinda like sacrificing a chicken and playing in its blood. What does -f mean? Combos include:
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x3000
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x3000
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x2000
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x2000
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x2000
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x2000
-v npci=0x2000 cpus=1
-v -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000
Results: Usually, my monitor(s) turn off.
Sometimes, when the screen stays on, I watch the apple screen for awhile before it suddenly turns grey and nothing happens.
Occasionally, I get the apple screen with a little box overlaid and the circle-backslash prohibition sign such as the ghostbusters use.
In all of those cases, the verbosity isn't helping me. There's no, like, syntax error with a code number, just a godawful amount of gobbledy gook followed by nothing at all. I filmed it once. I'm gonna show it to my friends next time they make me watch youtube videos of their baby.
Now, I just read that Chimera in Mavericks might make Time Machine explode, and I'm having second thoughts about why the hell I'm even doing this...
Things I thought of trying:
Maybe my install usb stick got corrupted? Wipe it and try again?
I didn't checkmark Legacy USB Support because I use a Socket LGA 1155 motherboard. Maybe checkmark it anyway?
Spend a bunch of money on an HDMI monitor?
Insure my system, then set fire to it?
Kill myself?
