First Hackintosh Help!

[rickysmd03]

Alright well this is what i have

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Intel Core i5-4430 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

So i built it and created a bootable usb using unibeast. It will start when i choose it to but when it stats it just gets stuck on the apple logo screen and the spinning wheel freezes.

i;m not sure what im doing wrong please help! Thanks!

At the chameleon screen, hit any key to stop the auto boot, then tap the down key on your keyboard to the boot verbose option. [This can also be achieved by typing the boot flag -v]. This will show where the boot is getting stuck. It can be daunting to look at the lines of text scrolling but you'll see where it stops doing anything. If you're completely stuck, post on the forum the last few lines of text as someone may be able to help. Also - check the installation guides, there's usually links to the common issues.

Safe mode can be achieved with the boot flag -x, so to boot verbose and in safe mode you'd type "-v -x" without quotes. Can help you sometimes, it's worth a try.

Good luck!

Thanks for the post Marked! I did previously run in both modes and both get stuck. It seems like this is the main problem. I already tried -F and -f btw. It was just freezing at the screen where the apple logo is so i decided to just leave it on while i'm at work to see if it resolves itself. If you have any other ideas it would be a huge help thanks!

Have the latest BIOS for your board?

My issue was that I had a VGA plugged in. Other than that this board works flawlessly I didn't use any flags I recommend this one to everyone installing Mavericks. Still trying to get the right audio driver though.

Thank you everyone for making my hackintosh possible. Special thanks goes to rickysmd03 for pointing out his VGA problem. Mine installed without trouble or tweaks as soon as I unplugged the VGA monitor. My board is GA-B85M-D3H
