Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2013 did you point myHack installer app at the bootpack when it asked for an Extra folder when it was making your usb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yes. I followed the instructions and did a vanilla build, restarted myHack and then pointed it to "my own" extras that I unzipped from the bootpack to add to the USB config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm going to redo the process from scratch and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2013 if you have an intel wifi shut it off in bios. and if you have ahci option in sata section of bios try enabling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 the d820 BIOS does not seem to offer the SATA options. I notice the d830 bios does. I hate dumbed down BIOS settings. I'm not sure which wifi card it has so I will try disabling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2013 [...]I don't see a way to edit the topic or a post I started, can that be done? [...] Use the buttons at the bottom right corner of the posts to edit, delete, etc. You are right, there are no bios options to set HDD mode, so it's IDE mode by default.

wai Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 OK. I've tried twice more with the wifi card disabled both times and using 2 completely different installer devices so it's not a bad usb stick. I get the same crash when I hit the "customize" button as well so it's not just the start of an install. I'm attaching the crash log if that helps. This happens within a few seconds of moving off the "ready to install" screen. The screen goes textured gray and then the crash log comes up. nothing else displays in between.

Administrators Hervé Posted February 9, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2013 Check your BIOS settings against those posted for the D620. One more thing to eliminate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 No joy. There were some hopeful tweaks in that list but same failure on install. This machine seems to already have a Broadcom Wifi card. Any handy boot param tweaks that might help given no AHCI setting in BIOS? Should I try an older myHack? Is the 10.7.4 installer a possibility if most people have used older versions? In general, it boots right up and displays fine into the install process. very few nags on the console listing too. This machine also runs Windows with no problem so the hardware is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
