Hey guys I've been following this thread for awhile and working on my hackingtosh and need some help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My build is similar to the user 500e:
- Intel i5 4670K
- NO graphics card (I plan on using intel HD graphics)
- Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 7 G1 Gaming LGA-1150
- 16GB (2x8) G. Skill Sniper Series DDR3 1866 MHz
- 256GB Samsung 840 PRO SSD
- Western Digital Black 2.0 TB HD SATA 6 GB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I updated the bios to the latest version F6 and made sure all the bios settings are correct:
-loaded optimize defaults, XMP memory profile 1, and I disabled VT-d.
I was able to install mavericks onto my SSD where i installed the following using multibeast (see photo) and repaired permissions and rebuild cache using ktext
I avoided the ethernet and audio drivers from multibeast for my board as I planned on using the solutions in this thread to fix them once I have the system booting up without any issues. I can boot into safe mode using the -x flag. Trying to boot into the SSD without any flags gives no errors just the apple logo and the gears spinning indefinitely. I am trying to boot without any flags and then I will work on the ethernet and audio using the solutions already provided in this thread.
attached is a screen shot of my -v flag.
i've been at it for 13 hours straight. Sorry about the lengthy post.
UPDATE: I got everything up and running except for audio. I am booting without any flags and I have ethernet but still no audio. My mistake was trying to skip over 500e's mistakes and go directly to the solutions. I followed his exact steps, made his mistakes, and use the solutions provided by carp and they worked for everything except audio.
One mistake that I needed to make was to install the realtek ALC1150 audio driver and the Killer ALXEthernet V1.0.2 network driver from multibeast. After my system gave an error, I booted using -x flags and removed the appleHDA.kext and it booted up without any flags but no internet. Simply skipping the installation of the incompatible drivers leaves the system hanging. I was now booting without any flags and I used the ktext provided by gamester that carp posted to get the ethernet working.
STill no audio though
I tried using all of the voodooHDA audio drivers in multibeast to no avail. I did them one at a time and repaired permissions with kext wizard. The system would hang, I would then boot up using -x flags, and remove the ktext which would return the system to normal.
Note: After installing some of the audio drivers from multibeast I could hear static from my speakers upon reboot but the system just hangs at the apple logo. The only way in again is -x where audio is of course disabled.
