first post!
I've really tried to read around and use the resources around here but I've kind of hit a dead end. Don't want to that guy.
This is my first hackintosh attempt... and I feel like I'm on the verge of giving up
System specs are: i5 2500k | Asus Maximus V Gene (z77) | 16GB Wintec One RAM 1600Hmz | 120 and 90GB Mushkin Chronos SSD's | 1TB/500GB HDD's | 750GB PSU | 780 TI SC
First off, just from reading around I know that there are some issues with the 780 TI. I'm currently running off of the integrated.
I've successfully flashed the bios (1604, patched) from another thread.
I've also disconnected the other hard drives and only have the complexly unallocated 90GB Mushkin attached.
I format the drive as instructed and install Unibeast successfully. (Checked forums and watched tutorials several times now. Also have "burned" it about 8 times at this point. Even re-downloaded Mavericks on a different macbook and went through the process again)
Also have reset the bios and applied the basic configs given what the board allows... as long as a few others I've seen suggested.
Every single time I attempt to install after -v it says "BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file directory"
...then skips to bluetooth and pauses. bluetooth installs correctly. I've tried it with the MCombo card in and out. I've also removed two of the RAM sticks just to see.
I've also ran in safe mode and applied huge mixture of commands before install.
Initially, before I started using the -v command, it would show the Apple logo on a white background and the progress wheel would spin for hours.
I really don't know what to do at this point. If I can't push through this I'm going to be a Windows guy forever
...Also bought a copy of Mountain Lion that they still haven't sent a link for last Wednesday. That will be my last roll of the dice unless someone else can give me some pointers.
Thanks. Sorry for so many words.
