Gigabyte z97 th, i7 4790k, ballistix tactical, evga gtx 750 1 gb, yosemite install

[larsxchristian]

Hey guys!

Comments:

This is my first build. I read up on hackintosh, UniBeast, MultiBeast and decided I´d give it a go.
I got a friend to help me put the pc hardware together as he´s a computer tech.
I put it together to get a power-pc for audio production, and tried to follow TonyMacx86 suggestions for builds. Thanks to everyone on here for this resource, and especially SPballer, and Beast093 for their instructions.

The build:

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD7 TH

Intel Core i7 4790K

OCZ Agility 3 120 gb SSD
http://ocz.com/consumer/agility-3-sata-3-ssd

EVGA EVGA GeForce GTX 750 SC 1GB (01G-P4-2753-KR) Graphics card
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IDG3LUO/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Crucial Ballistix 16 gb ram (2x8gb)

Corsair RM 850 PSU

Fractal design R5

I also have a couple of hard-drives, the TP Link wd 800 and a FW800 card but they´re not hooked up.
In fact after seeing all the trouble the graphics-card has made for people in here in booting the installer, and after I had a lot of issues with booting myself, I decided to unplug it.

Why Yosemite

I've had a lot of difficulty getting a Yosemite installer, as I had an audio program that didn't really like Mac updates for a while; Pro Tools, and, therefore, haven´t updated any of my Macs for a while and downloaded installers, except for Mavericks for some coincidence. I tried installing Mavericks for a while, but I didn't really get anywhere, and saw online that a lot of people have had trouble with the GTX 750 and Mavericks. So after a while, I got Yosemite for a while, and it suits the Pro Tools I have now, but, if this doesn't pan out, I'll either get another graphics card or install El Capitan.


Others builds and instructions on this forum

I have an practically identical build as Beast093:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...e-10-10-5-windows-7-audio-workstation-tb.html

And have been using his and SPballers BIOS settings and boot flags. But to no avail so far. I´ve gone through their instructions meticulously, but still have the feeling I missed something. I also tried removing a stick of ram and using the maxmem=4096 boot flag.

So my boot flags have been for now dart=0 kext-dev-mode=1 slide=0 npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1 nv_disable=1 UseKernelCache=No maxmem=4096 -x -v no-zp

The only difference I can see is that the graphics card is a bit weaker but of the same generation as Beast093. Also I booted the motherboard to F6. And I by some coincidence put Clover on my UniBeast USB, I don´t know if that´s what UniBeast does as default this day or I pressed something I shouldn´t. So it could be any of this making it different. Or something else entirely.

So to the actual problems:

When I´m only running on motherboard graphics, and without WiFi card I strand on this kernel panic:
Missing Bluetooth controller transport

With the WiFi card I get a bit further, but end up stranded at
ATHR: Unknown locale: 21

So I removed the wifi card again. Been trying some different combinations of boot args but not really getting anywhere. Such as npci=0x3000 GraphicsEnabler=No

Let me know if you can have any suggestions that might help me. Also open to changing my build if that can help me have a less complex hackintosh-life, as long as it´s not over 400$. Also if I´m not doing my homework here in some way, let me know.

If you´re curious check out the pictures I enclosed.


-----------UPDATE----------------
So I tried going into single user mode to give that a try. Followed the instructions about missing Bluetooth controller on:
http://macdrug.com/solve-issues-errors-stucks-mostly-faced-in-hackintosh/
It wasn´t running from Root, but it seemed to go ok with bash 3.2 (check if it was vulnerable, it wasn´t), at least the second time.

But still to no avail. Ended up in a strange kernel panic that doesn´t show up on google, when I pressed exit, you can see it here:

"This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient."

Tried shutting the machine, running the boot flags above, but got into the same kernel panic as before: Missing Bluetooth controller transport!

Bump

 

[tonymacx86]

I'm not sure why you're having issues- the setup seems pretty stock. The verbose readouts are not kernel panics, they are the system not getting graphics enabled. And from the screenshot you have created a Yosemite USB using latest UniBeast. Recommend removing the 750 for the installation and using Intel HD 4600. Otherwise use nv_disable=1.

You're going to need to use these once you get installed and updated.

[larsxchristian]

Wow, thanks for replying, I feel honored the creator himself would reply! I have removed the graphics card for the installation, but still no luck. It might be an issue with the USB being crap, so I'll try with another!

 

[larsxchristian]

New USB with new installation of Yosemite. Still no luck. Still ending up at Missing bluetooth conctroller transport! Does anyone have any ideas?

The only thing I do differently from this guy: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/s...0-32gb-ram-yosemite-10-10-5-windows-7.171592/
is that I removed the graphics card, and that he has the older unibeast, and I might have a newer flash of the motherboard(I think F6, whereas he has F5)

Try checking your BIOS/UEFI settings to make sure your are using the integrated graphics and not PCI-e. You do still have the graphics card removed ? Setting should be something like Init display first. Also have all the other drives disconnected while you are trying to install.

Where did you find Yosemite to create the installer from ?

 

[larsxchristian]

I guess if it says Intel processor graphics enabled and with 64M on the memory allocated it should be right? I made the installer with the latest unibeast on a friends macbook air. I downloaded the installer and unibeast found it there and installed it on the USB. Did that answer your question?

Also I used the legacy mode thing, cause it seemed right from a forum I looked at. Is that right?

So the Yosemite OS X download came from the Mac App Store ?

With your Haswell system it would be best to create a UEFI installer if you are going to install Clover as your bootloader since that motherboard has UEFI.

 

[larsxchristian]

Yes the installer came from the app store.

Ok, so that might be a reason this isn´t working? I think my first installer is UEFI.
