Yep. Tried without doing any patching. Normal GUID vanilla experience. Still nothing. Even using the other tool (you guys probably know which one I mean...) it doesn't work. In another forum, a dude told me it was related to AHCI or something about my disk, that I should change/inject another AHCI kext or something. What do you guys think about it? So, considering what you said: There's no way. Period. I really have to change my MoBo. I have installed Lion once, how could this possible? I mean, I know in U.S this mobo maybe is like crap comparing to other improved ones but, where I live, in my country it DOES cost a lot of money so, I'll need to make a extremely precise movement whether I am really to change it. Do you have something in mind? I mean, a MoBo that is not super-expensive but also compatible with the rest of my hardware plus the new releases of OSX? (i.e. Mavericks) Thanks.

Hi, I'm currently using myHack Mavericks. I just don't have a video using it but this video shows the same situation I'm facing when using myHack. This one was made manually from the InstallESD.dmg / BaseSystem.DMG with a MBR patch. If you will, I can record another video demonstrating the same problem, in the same place using myHack's Maverick's boot disk but I ensure you it happens the same way, in the same place and time as this one. Thanks in advance!

Hi, guys. I just uploaded a video of what happens, when it happens. http://youtu.be/4CHZ3VIya6c I'm not sure whether quality is nice, so better watch in 720p. If you find necessary to focus one the last visible screen I can do that for you. P.S.: In my Snow Leo build, I use GFX Strings and DSDT. Pretty Solid too. Been using it for more than a year. I record my band's songs in it using Pro Tools. Thanks!

What's changed in the boot process since Snow Leopard? I mean, there's something really different I guess. I wonder how that Lion Distro DVD got to boot with no problems. If you guys find it useful, I could record a video of what happens in the process.

Tried all boot flags already. Always the same, a moment before the installation screen should appear, it just reboots the machine. I have tried with all versions. The only one that worked was Snow Leopard.I now have Mavericks in it (which behaves the same way). I have the DSDT for my MoBo. Tried with and without it. No changes. I can't get past the boot using MyHack Mavericks. What exactly do you mean by "graphics card that needs GraphicsEnabler = Yes"? In Snow Leo, I can use GE=Yes or no, the main difference is, Using "Yes" makes chameleon choose what to inject and leaves me with only one display possibility. Using "No" makes the GPU acceleration go null and scrambles resolution. That's why I'm using the nVidia GeForce 8800 GT GFX string in org.chameleon.Boot.plist, makes everything works almost perfectly. Sometimes it gets a bit sluggish (the price for using two displays with GT 210). My CPU is the Core i3 2100 and I don't think its on chip GPU is compatible (Is it?). What are the BIOS settings you mentioned? I don't know about system performance since I have not installed it yet. GPU: nVidia GeForce 210. Following the instructions present in the "myHack Guide": Ensure you have your SATA controllers in AHCI mode. (checked) Ensure you have enabled your CPU’s C states. (where do I do that in this MoBo?) Ensure you have HPET set to 64bit. (checked) Disable any devices you do not intend to use (extra SATA, Firewire, etc). (checked) If you have a UEFI system, ensure that you boot in legacy (bios boot) mode. (this Mobo does not use UEFI) I guess it all checks. Anything else? I'm using DSDT in Snow Leo. But where'd I use it before the system is installed? I don't know about SpeedStepping and power management settings because I still couldn't get to the installation screen yet. I've tried to boot myHack installation disk with GraphicsEnabler=No. Didn't work.

Thanks for the quick reply, man! I'm trying to make a bootable usb disk using MyHack, using the default options, no surprises 'till here. Thing is: I successfully finish the making of the boot disk. My problem is: When I boot the disk MyHack just made, it starts all that loading on the screen but it does not go past it. I mean, generally, after booting the first stage, those small white letters appear on the screen (not the big in low-resolution ones from before) and the installation screen is showed. I know this because I installed Snow Leopard in this same hardware I described above and Snow Leopard and Mavericks in my old 2010 chinese notebook (which is quite good considering compatibility). I've succeed installing Lion once, but I used one of those "distros". I no longer encourage or make use of'em. Even in my country it is very cheap to buy the original software (OS) directly from Apple's App Store. I really just want some feedback about my hardware and why Snow Leopard works perfectly and I can't install any other version of OSX on the same hardware. Maybe it's the 8 GB RAM modules (2x 4 GB)? I'm really out of ideas and have used all software available to make the boot disks and even made one manually. Thanks in advance! P.S.: It doesn't even get to the start of the installation screen. Reboots before that. I don't have grub in this hard drive.

Hi guys. I've tried to use MyHack with many versions of OSX (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion and recently, Mavericks) but none of them work. (I'm using the latest version) Everytime I make a boot disk using MyHack and boot using it, it gets to Darwin and show the partitions on the disk, which I choose the MyHack installation disk. After that it just reboots the PC. I've tried all types of bootflags and none of them work as well. Here are the specs of my hardware: Specs: MOBO: GA-H61M-DS2 CPU: Core i3 2100 CPU RAM: 8 GB Patriot ( 2x 4 GB) GPU: Nvidia GeForce 210 1 GB (EVGA) HD: SAMSUNG HD103SJ 1 TB DVD: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7280S Generic Card Reader (one of those "1000000 in 1") I have only one HD partitioned in 4: NTFS WIN, HFS+ MAC, EXT3 LINUX, NTFS STORAGE) I've tried to use MyHack since the first revision of my mobo, updated it to see whether the problem would be solved but to avail. Anyone got the same mobo (or specs) and succeeded using MyHack on this hardware? (or am I just doing something wrong?) I want to install Mavericks 13A603 (which I downloaded from the App Store). Thanks in advance! P.S.: I am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. (I used another tool, from another site to make the installer disk, I don't know if I can quote the name here)
