3 Installations 3 fails....stumped!!

[simondo3]

Its not very often I get stumped as I can nearly always find a solution from a previous thread or someones past experience, but this time...........HELP!!!

 

OK so my hack USB 3.3.1 installation went as desribed all the messgaes came up, and it appears successful, until i boot up for the first time, welcome screen is fine I get to the desktop and all hell breaks loose.

 

The problem seems to be the finder, it just dont work, icons cant be moved, spinning ball of death, diskutility also doesnt work and appears transluscent ie see through.

 

Remedies tried so far:

 

re install done that 3 times now still the same problem with finder

different bios settings tried lots of combos.....no joy

installed same myhack usb on another hackintosh build..........perfect first time

tried a few different bootloaders

 

spec:

Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G v1.0

GTX 285

E5450

 

the same build has a 10.6.8 on it that runs flawlessly

 

Is it maybe the CPU, it is a LGA771 with a LGA775 mod but this works great with Snow leopard on the same build

 

Maybe I need a patched kernel

 

Anybody have any ideas to fix this issue

 

cheers

You forgot to specify your new target OS... A Hapertown quad-core Xeon E5450 does not require any patched kernel afaik. I've not had any problems with a (stickered) LGA771 dual-core Xeon X5270 in a modified LGA775 socket as a replacement of a C2D E8600. SL, Lion, ML or Mavericks still booted and ran properly.

Hi Herve

 

thanks for the reply sorry its a fresh Mavericks 10.9.0. I think it might just be a bios setting, I'm going to list my current bios settings here at the weekend and hopefully someone may have an idea whats wrong with this Mavericks install
