That's my first hackintosh build. And everything went pretty well !
After 2 weeks, I can safely say that stability is great, not bugs, everything is working.
I used the guides of tonymac for creating the UniBeast USB key.
BIOS Settings :
- Load the default settings
- Disable VT-d
- Set xHCI Auto mode
- Disable Intel Processor Graphic ( if not : slow boot time )
- Activate xHCI Hand-Off
- Activate EHCI Hand-Off
- Set the config. SATA AHCI
- Set the Memory mode to "More stability" ( if not : random freezes )
Concerning the install :
I removed 1 of the 2 memory sticks and successfully booted and installed using following boot parameters:
PHP:
boot with -x GraphicsEnabler=No -no-zp
I went through the installation quite easily, but had the "deadbeef" kernel panic.
That's why the "-no-zp" parameter.
On first reboot, I stumbled upon iCloud keychain, rainbow wheel turning indefinitely.
Solved this issue by rebooting and removing the ethernet cable.
Everything went well, my 1440p display perfectly working over the GTX 770 over HDMI.
Sleep & wakes works, sound, Ethernet, graphics acceleration, no issue to be seen.
