niad Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I have previously posted this thread: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2764-need-help-with-shuttle-xs35-gt/ I have now for some time had ML up and running very stable and been able to install all updates until 10.8.4. After 10.8.5 and latest iTunes the installation was broken so i reverted to 10.8.4. Now i am in the process of trying to install Mavericks and for that purpose i made a new 10.9 boot usb stick with the bootpack for this but i cannot get any graphics to start the installation. Just when the graphic mode shall start the screen goes black. I then tried to make a new ML bootstick but the same thing happened there, no graphics. I have previously made a working bootstick with the bootpack for ML and before that i had to use a custom kernel so the graphic mode has been working before with previous versions of the bootpack for ML. I need help with how to solve this, i have tried bootflags as -x -v -f GraphicsEnabler=NO and YES, pciuid....2000 3000 and nothing helps. It does not seem to be a kernel panic i just cannot get the screen to show the picture, the screen senses a signal because it does not go to sleep.

Did you replace the kernel for a custom_kernel as you did on the ML installer previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niad Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 @Jake Lo I did not replace the kernel for a custom one as i needed to months ago because since then i have reinstalled with only the bootpack as it is. I beleive that the right kernel (the custom one) has been put in the bootpack since then so it would work out of the box. My machine is exactly the right Shuttle XS35 that is in the compatible machine list and there is bootpacks for ML and Mavericks there. I will try with the custom kernel today just for the hell of it of course.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 3, 2013 Even if you have the custom_kernel in the bootpack, you still need to copy it to the HD as well. From terminal, run cp /Volumes/Your_myHack_Installer/custom_kernel /Volumes/Your_Mavericks_OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 3, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2013 you also have to point org.chameleon to the modded kernel.or at boot name_of_kernel -v or where ever the kernel is located. have you tried the newer kernel patcher dylib in chameleon?

niad Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I tried to use the custom kernel and widh that ML booted fine but still not Mavericks, in the Mavericks boot usb i got "uptime in nanoseconds" with the custom kernel. Maybe i need another kernel still for Mavericks? I will look into patching kernels with dylib, that is totally new ground for me. I have made a working clone now of my ML disk so i can experiment a bit more. I am thinking of trying to upgrade to Mavericks via appstore but i guess it will be broken as with 10.8.5 then.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 3, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2013 it would not update directly any ways since it is not a real mac. and yes you would need a maverick modded kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niad Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks for all replys, i guess i need a custom kernel again as i got for ML. Can someone help me with this, i have looked in SVN where i was pointed to the earlier custom kernel, and i can only find a folder for "ml", nothing for Mavericks. https://osxlatitude-edp.googlecode.com/svn/model-data/Shuttle_XS35GT_804/ml/custom_kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 4, 2013 can you try adding the module kernelpatcher.dylib to your Extra/modules folder?http://public.xzenue.com/downloads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
