hi all,

i try to install 10.9 from a usb thumb to a SSD EVO with Clover 2377 (also from usb).
i kept all settings in config.plist as is and added latest FakeSMC.kext to 10.9 folder.
i also added NTFS.efi and HFSPlus.efi in drivers64UEFI.

the whole behavior of the installer is strange.

i already tried: GraphicsEnabler=0, -x, -f, WithKexts, npci=0x2000
also tried space and "without caches" (interestingly there are not more dots on the screen, i thing clover is not ignoring the caches and is not rebuilding it)

every help is appreciated. thanks in advance


specs:
gigabyte z87m-d3h
nvidia 760
samsung ssd evo 128gb (win8.1 already preinstalled in uefi mode, 55GB unformated for osx left)
intel i5-4670

UPDATE:



can someone explain, why the installer stops in the log with Verifying InstallMacOSX… but the time is running till 0 and nothings happens?

i tried everything till now: F8 Bios, F9a Mod Bios, created DSDT with Patches via Maciasl and PJALM for Z87M-D3H, GraphicsEnabler=No, dart=0, slide=0
i use the newest FakeSMC 6.0.1033, i disabled Onboard Ethernet, plugged in Wifi USB Thumb, i even formatted a brand new SATA 1TB drive to do a test installation …

the problem is, that i can't use chimera/chameleon because i already installed Win8.1 in UEFI Mode.

i used this http://cloverboot.weebly.com/copy-mavericks-to-usb.html to create the Installation Thumb

can someone give me a hint and help? it's a brand new setup for my workmate and the time is running away, i want to finish this ;)

big thanks in advance

does this mean you did not edit the default config.plist when you installed clover?

Be aware it has a lot of entries that are not needed on all boards and can prevent successfull boot on some systems. You need to pare it down to just what you need for your system.
 
thats the problem, with my Z77X-UD5h i could install everything without problems.

but now its haswell and i dont know which settings in the config.plist are the basic and dont disturb the boot process/installation process.

any suggestions?

what i did in the bios:
- xmp to profile 1 for 1600Mhz
- xhci to auto, not smart auto
- xhci hand-off enabled
- ehci hand-off enabled
- vt-d to enabled (with dart=0) and also tried vt-d on disabled
- sata mode to ahci
- other OS, instead of windows
- all to UEFI
- pcie slot to Gen3, also tried auto
- intel onboard graphics disabled

OK, so you have formatted an 8Gb or larger USB drive with 8Gb partition, formatted GUID / Mac OS Extended Journaled and created a Clover EFI boot installer?
Can you post pic of your choices in the clover nstaller?
 
I followed this Guide:

One USB Drive 8gb with Mavericks (http://cloverboot.weebly.com/copy-mavericks-to-usb.html)
One USB Drive 4gb with clover 2377, uefi morherboard install Option plus hfsplus.efi driver (http://cloverboot.weebly.com/install-clover-to-usbhdd.html)

under drivers64UEFI i have:
EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
FSInject-64.efi
HFSPlus.efi
OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi
OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi

What does your config.plist look like? Are you using the default one from the clover installer? That one has a lot of unnecessary items in it. Mine looks like this (it still needs a lot of clean-up and tweaking, but I haven't had time to play with it):

Note that under graphics I am injecting ATI = true for the HD5770 - you need nVidia = true when you install your gfx card. For the install leave it false.
Also note my default volume is Mavericks - that is what I named the HDD when I formatted it, so make yours whatever you named your drive, or just call it OS X HDD
 
Here is my Installation Example: http://youtu.be/YLGZdCcGoF8 its so slow and its not installing/writing to hdd

This looks normal right up to the time of the actual installation.
Suggestion: try this method - http://www.tonymacx86.com/alternate-bootloaders/113679-using-unibeast-create-clover-installer.html to create your installer. If you plan to install Win7/8 later with EFI, install with the EFI bootloader choices and format your UniBeast USB GUID instead of MBR. I used this method and it worked fine on a GA-Z77-DS3H and the X58A-UD7 in my sig.
