I am following the dualboot guide and the unibeast guide at this moment. I want to create a dualboot.
Step 1: format SSD for OSX and Win = done
I used a virtual machine (windows 7) with snow leopard. The SSD was split in half (60gb osx and 60gb win7). I used the osx disk tool (create 2 partitions, guid table).
Step 2a: In installed windows on the win partition. Windows is installed with all the updates (i have 40gb of free space left
)
Step 2b Bios settings-
I used this guide. I also followed Lnx2Mac's commentary post on how to configure the BIOS
My settings:
- Setting Advanced CPU Features to ENABLED (all of the options)
- set XMP to Profile1
- No-Execute Memory Protect = Enabled
- Init Display First = onboard
- SATA Control Mode = AHCI
- ACPI Suspend Type = S3 (STR)
- HPET Support = Enabled
- HPET Mode = 64-bit mode
Step 3 - Installing Lion (with Unibeast).
I created the unibeast USB boot disk following the guide).
The Hackintosh OSX Install is Hanging at Logo Stage
I used the verbose mode. Not sure where to look but in the screen where it hangs i see the following:
first error:
Few lines lower:
I also tried "disable boot cache" as an option. I let the installer run for 20 minutes but it still hangs. The wheel below the apple logo keeps spinning. ( In front of the apple logo i see a small (error) sign.
Hardware issues?
I removed three of my RAM modules. I tried to use only 4 gb in the first(?) DIMM slot (DDR3_1 channel B) of the gigabyte mb. I also tried some other settings without succes (two modules in different dimm slots). The type of my memory is: Corsair Vengeance CML8GX3M2A1600C9W. Still the computer hangs on the boot logo.
i guess it is another component. Maybe the OCZ Agility 3 SATA III?
I formatted the drive in a virtualmachine (60gb windows and 60gb osx, just like the guide indicated. Within the VM i see the 60gb lion part of the SSD. I also saw this when installing windows 7
The SSD is connected via SATA_3_0 (also tried SATA_3_1). Both are controlled by intel z68 chipset. I then tried GSATA3 port 5 and 6 (controlled by Marvell 88SE9172 Chip) and SATA2_4 without succes.
Maybe it is the USB stick (corsair). Does it matter which USB i use? I use the RED ports (USB 2.0) ports at the back of my pc. When i use the USB 3.0 port i get a different error
("still waiting for root device").
I am out of ideas....
