I am just starting to build my first Hackintosh, with the relevant specs below (if you need more info please ask): Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K GPU: Asus NVIDIA GTX 770 2GB RAM: 8GB
I used this installation guide, as opposed to UniBeast or clover, just so I could see what was going on for my own curiosity, and followed instructions to the best of my ability.
So after getting to the step that involves installing onto the hard drive, I boot the computer, and the apple logo with the progress bar shows up. It gets about 1/3 of the way before it disappears and a spinning beach ball appears. This then continues indefinitely.
Further information: When making the org.chameleon.boot.plist, the only thing I checked was kext-dev-mode=1. Restart fix and Private data were checked by default, and those three were the only things checked. Booting into verbose mode shows that it performs the check for bluetooth, sees that there is nothing, and then stops. Some googling revealed that it next checks for the GPU, so most of my guesses for a solution have focused on that. Boot flags that I've tried: * -v: see above * -x: I get a kernel panic. I think the kext-dev-mode=1 conflicts with Safe mode and stops it. * GraphicsEnabler=No: Tried this because it would make sense that the graphics card is the problem. No discernible change. * GraphicsEnabler=Yes: Tried this because I read that the GTX 7 series are natively supported in OSX, so it might not need the disable. No change.
Exceptions to the process: I have a 16GB USB3.0 drive that I had already partitioned in half because I planned on moving a Windows ISO to the Hackintosh later. Not sure if it matters, but I don't want to miss anything
Merry Christmas everyone, and I'd love some advice on how to resolve thins! Thanks in advance!
