tubes_rock Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 There could be a million reasons. Where does it stop in the process? Does it try to boot? Does it get halfway through? Does it look like it's booting and then go to a black screen? Have you tried booting it the -v flag for verbose output for troubleshooting, or the -x flag for safe boot? We'll need more info before we can even begin to help. Exact wording of what's on the screen will be tremendously helpful. --Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srojtas Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Boots up in safe mode just fine, but graphics glitch in Safari. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubes_rock Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Many times doing a "full" myHack myFix will fix a "waiting for root device" problem. See if that fixes it, if not, we'll dig more. Graphics glitches in safari are because you aren't running graphics hardware acceleration. A quick way to see if hardware acceleration is running is to see if your menu bar is translucent. If it is, you're accelerated. It won't be accelerated in safe mode, so this is not unusual. I've never run ATI hardeware, so hopefully somoene else can chime in about that. --Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i cannot help much more. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubes_rock Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The good news is that many, many people are using ATI cards. OSX86 and InsanelyMac can be of huge help and the folks at tonycrap have tried just about every piece of hardware under the sun, to varying degrees of success. Their forums can be hugely helpful, even if just using google searches to find the topics. If your card is listed in the OSX86 hardware compatibility list, some thread out there will help you get it running. This is half the fun of hackintosh. It's like hot-rodding a classic car, but in the comfort of your living room. No matter what, you will learn something that you will likely use more than once. --Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2014 The ATI problem is most likely due to lack of FrameBuffer definition resulting in OS X being unable to identify your card. You need to identify which FB it is for your card to add it to your boot plist, then possibly patch your DSDT. Until you do that, you won't have graphics acceleration and won't be able to properly initialise graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2014 @Dan, try the attached DSDT, patched to reflect your LAN card in System Report. After rebooting with the new DSDT, look up interfaces in Terminal with ifconfig command. LAN_patching.zip Byt the way, your Dan's Devices & Kexts.zip files were empty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Marshall Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi Hervé, Many thanks mate, I will try this when I get home tonight and report back Devices and kexts files empty? doh, I will re-upload if necessary, apologies on that Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2014 Probably not necessary actually, IOreg and DSDT are usually sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
