Installation Error - Mavericks on Dell M6500

Hello, I am able to get to the language selection screen.

After selecting language, it goes right to the Installation error log.

Unfortunately I can't save it. 

 

System is a Dell Precision M6500, Core i5 with 4GB ram, Nvidia FX2800M.

Used iHack to create 10.9 installation USB stick.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Did you format installer to MBR? If so, recreate installer and select No to MBR patching.

Thank you Jake Lo, that worked to get the installer up and running.

Now after rebooting, I get a KP, CPU Configured incorrectly. No HPETs avaiable.

Processor is a Core i5 280M. I've tried the boot flags of -v cpus=1 ForceHPET=Yes and no luck there.

Also tried -v -x and -v -f same results.

Check this thread, same scenario as yours.

Thank you for the help! I was able to get Maverick 10.9.1 installed successfully.

 

So far Wifi works, touchpad works, USB 3.0 works. Just have to figure out the sound (to work with the controls) and proper sleep mode so it doesn't wake up after a minute or two.

See if this patched AppleHDA works for you. If you don't have a DSDT, you'll need AppleHDAEnabler. If these don't work, try VoodooHDA 2.8.4.
