So the bootloader is gone, what did you do yesterday other than putting the kexts in? Did you install anything else? Booting using the USB failed too? Are you using unibeast?

I've no idea what image you're using, so, not much help in there. PM me since you're not using the recommended tool. Probably you could select the boot partition from your BIOS and see if you could boot into the OSX or Win8. I'm only well versed with the unibeast/multibeast way, other way of installing OSX .. angkat tangan .. tak pandai nak guide smile.gif

It seems like the driver for graphics is not loaded somehow. Anyone have any idea on how to resolve this?

Do check inside your UEFI BIOS configuration. Disable the internal GPU and make the primary display = your PCI card and see if this resolved your problem.

If not, could you share your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist?

guys , super noob in Hackintosh......

need some guidance on as to whether the following hardware would be sufficient to hack at least Snow Leopard.....

HP XW9400 workstation
Processor : AMD Opteron Dual Core Processor 2218 x

Memory : 2GB x 4
HDD : SAS 70GB x 1
VGA : NVIDIA QUADRO FX3500

......the MOBO is the stock mobo, which i have yet to check the model....... thx guys

It is hard to get AMD support on newer OSX, the old ones need a patched kernel too. So, I believe not worth a try. Put Linux on that and I believe you've a good machine to play with.

Make a backup copy of your current OSX and then upgrade.

Should not be a problem:

The above is for older SL but I believe you could install Mavericks on it.

You might have a problem with the motherboard, the LAN uses atheros E2201 which doesn't have driver for Mac. Other than that, I believe your specs look fine. If you want to go ahead with this setup, either go with additional WIFI or LAN adaptor.

Here is the guide on how to get this thing working with L/ML:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-de...-fa-osx-ml.html

Just look for atheros LAN driver if you want to go with Mavericks (here probably: http://www.osx86.net/topic/18341-atheros-a...net-connection/ )

Check tonymac compatibility list:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/422-building-cus...e-may-2014.html

Please note the 9 series motherboard, most of them are not tested and those which has Atheros Killer E2201, no driver for them.

Best is to go ahead and installing Mavericks using the generic installation guide. You need a Mac to generate the USB boot drive for the installation. If you need a DSDT, you could search for it in tonymacx86, they might have it. Some motherboards do not require DSDT at all and work just fine.

Yes, you can do multiboot, just remove your existing HDD, install new HDD and Windows7. When done, connect both HDDs, don't forget to set your BIOS to bootup from your MacOSX partition. If Chimera doesn't see your Win7 partition, you could add it manually.

BTW, if you could run OSX now, there is no need to install kext for your GC. What made you think you need a kext for it?

Hi Wira,

Thx for your reply.  thumbup.gif  smile.gif

* i already have a HDD with W7 in it, it was what i was running b4 the hack. So, as you say that i can boot from 2 different HDD, then, i can just connect the HDD which has W7 in it and boot...right ?

* regarding the GC, the hack which i installed does not have any setting for resolution or a 2nd monitor, it only has a single option and the current resolution is not a perfect fit. So, i assumed that i need to further tweak the GC.

* if i dont have to install any further kexts, then how do i change the resolution and 2nd monitor settings...

Please reply. Thank you. smile.gif
*
1) On multiboot, yes, that is correct.
2) On mavericks, yes, there is no setting on the resolution etc. It is either best for display or scaled. Which port are you connecting your monitor to? Is it the internal GC?
3) I believe if you've your monitors connected to both, then the option for the 2nd monitor will be there. Just share here your "About this Mac" -> System Report and under Graphics/Displays. What gets recognised there.


ps: Please don't call your installation a hack, it is quite confusing, just call it whatever OS release you've, if it is mavericks, just call it mavericks etc.

You missed the System Report -> Graphics/Display screenshot.

BTW, those are not errors, they're warning messages.

To disable the warning, just click the 3rd options there, "anywhere". But I have never got the error when installing from multibeast before.

Different motherboard has different kexts need to be installed, mine is ASUS. Just follow the link that I've given you in the original reply, it usually has the required kexts to be installed. BTW, do use the latest multibeast for mavericks.

Download the kext installer, run it, and drag & drop the kext to the application.

Btw, how many GC do you have? Does your pc have the internal GPU? Have you enabled it in the bios?
