I tried all the steps again (recreated bootdisk, verified BIOS settings, and repartitioned the hard drive) with the same results - the flashing cursor at reboot. The only place where I deviated from the instructions is that during the USB boot disk creation, MyHack does not prompt me to use the generic Extra folder, so I copied the Extra folder from the bootpack onto the USB boot disk and ran myFix against the USB installer. Could that be my issue?

Hi,

I am hoping that someone can provide me with some assistance. I was able to successfully install OSX Mavericks on my D630 per instructions at the top of this page. Unfortunately, after completing the installation, i receive an black screen with a blinking cursor. I researched this and came across this to remedy:

 

Issue: After passing various installation obstacles, the bootload hangs at a blinking cursor "_" .

 

Solution:
Boot with the DVD and use -s at boot load.

Mentioned with Kalway release: the bootloader does not like seperate disk names. Use a single word as name.

Release 10.5.2 R2 has a problem booting if EFI and GUID are choosen

 

 

I only have one hard disk and 1 partition on the disk. I tried the fdisk command above and it gave me an error message when I tried to replace X with 0. I am new at all of this. How do I find the HD and partition numbers per the instructions above?

 

here is the error message:

fdisk: could not open MBR file /usr/standalone/i386/boot0: No such file or directory

 

Thanks- Jeff

Hi, this is my first time trying this and i am confused by which file to use in the Extra folder on this post??? there are 4 files. I've tried a few of them and the setup freezes at [PCI configuration begin]

 

i googled the frozen part. i found this on a website:

"gma x3100 graphics not supported use graphicsenabler=no npci=0x2000"

 

where does that line of code go?

 

Anyone have any ideas?
