Hi everybody,
I managed to get Mavericks running on my ASROCK VISION 3D 137D. You can apply this guide on 137B or 137D model (only DVD or Blu-Ray player differ on these computers).
Here is a presentation and the hardware report of this computer (Mac Mini killer).
Here is how I did (with video output via DVI cable) ...
A - BIOS Setup
You have to configure the bios (entering in BIOS Settings via F2 key) like this :
1 - Menu "EXIT" -> Load BIOS defaults
2 - Menu "EXIT" -> Load Performance Setup AHCI Mode
3 - Menu "ADVANCED" -> "CPU Configuration" -> "No-execute Memory protection" = "Enabled"
4 - Menu "EXIT" -> "Save and Exit"
B - Install Mavericks via Unibeast
-> I created a Unibeast USB flash drive using this tutorial.
-> You can have some difficulties to boot, but try a few times. Sometimes, you have to push on the power button when it seems freezed at booting ...
C - Post-Installation (1) Using MultiBeast
I used the DSDT file Peter HAAS prepared for me (see attachment).
-> you have to rename the "Revised_dsdt.aml" file to "DSDT.aml" and put it on the desktop
Many big thanks to Peter for this.
Here are the options I selected :
- Quickstart > UserDSDT (select DSDT.aml file you just put on the desktop)
- Drivers > Audio > Realtek - without DSDT - ALC889a/885 and HDAEnabler
- Drivers > Disk > IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector
- Drivers > Disk > 10.9.0 TRIM Patch (if you use a SSD)
- Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC v5.3.820 (I updated it later)
- Drivers > Network > Realtek - Lnx2Mac’s realtekRTL81xx v0.0.90
- Drivers > System > AppleRTC Patch for CMOS Reset
- Bootloader > Chimera v2.2.1 (I updated it later)
- Customize > Boot Options > Basic Options
D - Post-Installation (2) Using Chameleon Wizard
I then used "Chameleon Wizard.app" which I found here and here in order to update the bootloader.
You just have to launch the software and to go to "Installation / Update".
Now I have Chameleon revision 2283.
I aslo had to specify graphic output (diplay_1 = DVI) and resolution (on a video projector = 1280x720)
Here is the content of my "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" file :
My graphic card is now recognized as "Pegatron GeForce GT 425M 512 MB". In reallity, it has 1024 MB but now there is no more video problem on boot.
If someone knows how to make OS X recognize the 1024 MB, please tell it !
E - Post-Installation (3) Using KextBeast
I also used toleda's « VISION3D.kext » (see attachments) to activate the WIFI card. Thanks a lot toleda !
The only problem I’m facing for the moment is CD/DVD.
