Thanks to this thread I've made a little progress on my first hackintosh (after successfully getting my Mac Pro 1,1 running 10.9.4 thanks to Tiamo and SFOTT I thought I'd have a go!)
My build:
Intel Core i5-4460
GA-H87N-WIFI (BIOS F8)
Crucial 8GB 1600MHz Ballistix (1 RAM module as I intended to upgrade to 16 GB with another later)
Noctua NH-L91 CPU fan
Corsair Builder Series CXM 430W modular 80 Plus Bronze
In a Cooler Master Elite 120Advance Mini-ITX case
Initially I tried a Clover install which went OK until I attempted to boot into the HD based clover bootloader (without the USB inserted) when it would hang, but then start Mavericks ok from the USB clover bootloader. I went round in a few circles on that one and thought I'd try Unibeast . . .
After putting the BIOS into IGFX and disabling VT-d after "optimising", I got Unibeast to get to the splash screen and then got to the installer with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and PCIRootUID=1
After reboot to the Unibeast key I select Mavericks (the Hard Drive) and with the same boot screen edits now I have it hanging at a grey Apple logo with a spinny dark grey wheel below.
Any ideas what to try next please?
Update: tried again as above but in verbose mode: I can't capture the screen of course, but it seems to be about:
"BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/Bootcache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory
panic(cpu 1 caller 0xffffff80002526cf): a freed zone element has been modified: expected 0xdeadbeefdeadbeef but found 0xdeadbeef f00000000, bits changed 0xdeadbeef, at offset 48 of 64 in zone: kalloc.64'@sourcecache/xnu/xnu-2422.110
debugger called <panic>
BAcktrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address
(followed by strings of )xffffff80ff572 or similar)
then
BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kextd
Of course I have zero clue what any of that means, but maybe someone here does?
cheers!
PS Is there a chance I have a dodgy piece of hardware? the MB and i5 processor were both bought from ebay!
