Not reaching installer

[stormbreaker18]

Hi everyone,

this is my second Hackintosh I'm trying to build The first one was quite successful but now I'm running into errors trying to reach the installer.

I think it starts to go south with the following error:

BootCacheControl Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory

then its just more errors. I have a picture of the end attached.

Anybody with an idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Is this an install on new hardware or on your older P8Z77 system ?

Are you quite sure that it has actually stopped ?
Try pressing the caps lock and see if the light goes on/off.
Look at the disk activity light.

As Lilu.kext triggered the cache rebuild try booting with -liluoff.

It's on the hardware from my signature. The P8Z77, i7 3770 and GTX 970.

Edit: CapsLock light works fine, the disk activity light is off. I'll try using -liluoff and post the result.

This is the result with -liluoff. Apparently now the FakeSMC triggered the rebuild.

A cache rebuild is not a problem.
It looks pretty normal to me.
Are you booting with nv_disable=1 ?

CapsLock light works fine, the disk activity light is off.

If that is the case then it has not crashed - Maybe you just need to wait a while.

Ah okay, didn't know that. Yes, I have nv_disable=1 activated. I've waited for about 10 minutes when i reached this Endpoint activated. Is it usual that it takes that long? And are the errors that occur on the attached picture normal?

Is it usual that it takes that long?

It is difficult to define what is normal, there are many variations.
I have seen it pause much longer than ten minutes and also a lot less.

And are the errors that occur on the attached picture normal?

Yes.

 

[stormbreaker18]

I've had it running for about an hour now and still no changes and also no disk activity. CapsLock still works fine. Any more ideas on how to proceed?

I took out the GPU and started via the iGPU and reached the installer. Now about 5 minutes into the installation of HS the computer suddenly reboots without finishing the installation. Have you ever had something like that?
