Help! Installer Loading Screen Gets Stuck After [IOBluetoothHCIController][start] And Other Issues
Hello
I'm panicking a bit (and i'm sorry for that).
I need to create a double-boot computer with windows 8.1 (for gaming) and Mac OS X 10.10.2, for working.
As a result i purchased some parts that could make me able to "create" both systems and i already installed my windows 8.1 disk without issues.
Here's my configuration.
- Seasonic SG12 750 WATT PSU
- MSI Z97 Gaming 5
- Intel Core i7 4790K 4.00 GHz
- Gigabyte GTX 980 Gaming G1 4 GB
- 32GB DDR3 G.Skill Ripjaws Z 2133 MHz
- SSD (For mac os X) Crucial M550 240 GB
I created the usb drive with unibeast, without issues and set up the bios accordingly following this guide on the site.
(the general guide also mentions the "Set os to other" and "Disable safe boot", but i can't find those in my MSI bios)
Everything OK until the first Chimera boot screen, where i hit USB (with the yosemite logo) and the grey apple logo appears alongside a grey progress bar.
Unfortunately the bar stops at the same place every time.
I used "-v" in the boot screen to see the lines of code and i found out it crashes right after this line of code: [IOBluetoothHCIController][start] -- completed
After some research i found out it is a "graphics issue", but i tried all the solutions i could read without results.
- Using -v, -x, GraphicsEnabler=Yes, PCIRootUID=1, npci=0x2000 (i even tried using all the first 4 ones in the same line).
- Changing USB Ports in which to plug the unibeast drive (a few users managed to solve the issue this way)
But nothing. same issue.
Now i have some questions that i'd really like you to answer (they'd help me to calm down)
1- I have installed this with the GTX 980 plugged in. I have somehow read that the graphics card should be disabled somehow. Might this be causing the issue? In that case how can i disable the card during the installation only and then re-enable it both for my windows 8.1 and Mac Os X? (if possible i'd like to keep the card istelf plugged...my case interior has a precarious balance and i'd love to move as few things as possible)
2- Can i set the windows hard drive as first in my boot queue and then acess mac osx (when i need it) by using the standard boot menu of the motherboard, without skipping the whole chimera double boot setup? Even after reading the guide i still can't figure out how to set it up, and it looks like it slows down the loading and boot times quite a lot.
3- Does the installing procedure change something in the computer or (in case of failure) is removing the OS X to be drive enough to completely delete the process
Sorry for the paranoia but i spent years gathering up the money to buy this computer and i'm really worried i could damage something (specially considering i put performance over everything, specially in gaming.)
Thanks a lot.
