Greetings.
Since I haven't found a guide on this board yet, I'll walk with you all as I attempt to get this board up and running.
My goal: everything working on this new hardware. Once I'm there I'll post a guide in the Build Section.
MOBO: GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5. [Different in various ways from Gaming 7 and Z97N-Wifi versions.] shipped with F2 Bios, upgraded to F4
CPU: i7 4770K Haswell 22nm 84W
Mem: PC1600 DDR3 Vulcan 8gb
GFX: Integrated
I have run through this once with a virgin 10.9.2 build and now, just because I still have half a head of hair left, thought I might take it to a virgin 10.9.3 build. [That and the 7 year old HDD died on me...]
Used UNIBEAST to build install of my legit-mac Air onto a 32 Gb Memstick. (used 10.9 option only.)
(1) Bios settings verified (Optimal + AHCI boot + VT-d disabled XCHI set to auto)
(2) Booted to install - no issues.
(3) Reboot.
(4) Received KP. Read a lot. Decided it was FrameBuffer issue with HD4600. Also read HDA package was causing KP so:
(5) Reboot; option for -s.
(7) Moved AppleIntelHD* and all AppleIntelSNB* to a temp directory.
(8) Rebooted to safe mode (-x) [ EDIT = also found that limiting maxmem=4096 was needed to avoid initial KP. ]
(9) Used Multibeast to Install DSDT-Free System. Checked install ALC1150. (forced default install AppleHDA)
(10) removed AppleHDA from S/L/E manually and installed experimental HDA patched DeviceID for ALC1150-on-9 series MOBO found here [link] Quickfix <a href=http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/134002-quick-fix-onboard-audio-9-series-motherboards-3.html#post825052> [/link]
(11) Boot to normal desktop. Sound now working (limited to center channel coming off Audio 1 (line-out) connecter. Still missing Atheros Killer 2200 LAN.
Will update you on the progress.
