becker666 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I have this drive with Mavericks(13.4.0 kernel w/Enoch) for years and it was rock solid...I was trying to copy some files with MacDrive from Windoze but that tool wacked the partition table on the Mavericks HDD...started playing with it testDisk got the partition back the bootloader loads but it stops and shuts the machine down no KP listed ... after this devfs_kernel_mount failed to find directory '/dev' I know this is ancient stuff but trying to see if it is fixable or it's a fubar already?? All my files are there (300G of stuff)I can access from other hackintosh drive but I'd like to boot from Mavericks as some old apps don't run on newer OS Digging on the forums guys with the same msg from way back in the Mavericks days are suggesting clear the PRAM is that for real?? I thought the hackintosh don't even have those chips On the other hand reinstalling it....is there a way to install over the existing OS without reformatting?

Administrators Hervé Posted November 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 20, 2022 No such thing as "clear PRAM" on a Hackintosh; that's for real Mac computers only. You can of course re-install Mavericks (or any subsequent compatible OS X/macOS version) over an existing build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
