osx9010 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hello, I built a bootable usb with maverick and myhack 3.3. I tried to boot it with my asus Q301LA but during the boot up, it just restarts automatically. I have tried using different switches such as -v -x and other generics flags but it will just restart on it own. It goes by very fast so I cannot tell what errors were encountered. Any help would be greatful! Thanks. ------------------------------WORKING------------SCROLL DOWN TO POST #11---------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 6, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sounds like a kernel issue. Please post your system specs so that we can try and help you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted January 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2014 Haswell platforms do not seem to support OS X too well for the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2014 check your bios options for different virtualization options and shut em down it might help. if you can't then try Dart=0 flag. some times it works sometimes it don't.

osx9010 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 With this particular laptop. It has something to do with usb3. The usb2 ports do not recognize the drive. I can only bootup with the usb3 ports but once booted it's missing the root device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tberdy Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well this is maybe a MSR lock issue. With Mavericks the Power Management is handled by the kernel and not by AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext The kernel need to write some values in some registers which are locked on some BIOS. That's why the kernel panic. See this post : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293503-haswell-early-reboot-mavericks-locked-msrs-and-hp-envy-15-j063cl-i7-4700mq/ Use the kernel post in attachement, he is xcpm-free so there is no power management. Boot and install OS X. Then manage to have power management. The best solution is to use Clover Bootloader with Kernel PM patch set to true in the config. With this, you can use the stock kernel, all is auto-patched by Clover.

osx9010 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 ^Hi, I was able to boot into the installer by patching that kernel but after the installer loads, No more USB. Which is where i'm stuck. If i put my HD into a usb port, i'll be stuck with the waiting on root device. If i put the HD into the laptop itself, then i can get into the installer but NO USB. At this point, i can launch disk utility and partition to osx partition but my hd is mbr parition in order to install unifail. I cannot wipe my install hd to convert to GUID. Myhack has something that supports installing osx on mbr does unifail have something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 9, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2014 have you tried adding the generic usb 3 kext to you extra folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
