vrao Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hello everyone, I just installed OS X Mavericks on my latitude e6400 with myhack. I tried to install a graphics kext for my intel gm45 graphics, and in the guide, it told me to replace my boot.plist. I replaced it with the one provided, but when I rebooted, it said that it was late by xxxxx seconds, and I had to use forcewake=Y to override. I entered in this boot flag, but after a second, my computer just restarted and came back to the charms lion boot screen. I don't have access to a Mac anymore to create an installer to reinstall, so what should I do? Thank you in advance! Latitude e6400 specs: 2.27GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM Intel GM45 Graphics BIOS VERSION A34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted June 19, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 19, 2014 post boot.plist you used maybe it can be sorted out. or see if you can boot back in using the -F flag not to be confused with -f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 19, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 19, 2014 The late xxxx/ForceWake message is related to sleep image file. You need to do 2 things: 1) disable hibernation (in Terminal, type sudo pmset hibernatemode 0) 2) delete sleep image file found in /var/vm (in Terminal, type sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage) If required, boot in safe mode (-x Chameleon boot flag).

vrao Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 I can't do any of this because I can't boot my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdamnit Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Boot with '-v' and take a picture of where your boot stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrao Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 It stops so fast, I can't take a picture. Then a white screen flashes and my computer restarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrao Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 It doesn't even go to the black screen. It stops at the chameleon boot-loader background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
