I've tried an infinite amount of boot flags for my hackintosh :(

[Just The Tips]

I'm planning to dual boot windows and osx yosemite on my newly built rig (already have windows on it), I've been using unibeast and I'm not stuck on the boot loader trying to get to the actual mac osx installer, and I've tried every possible boot parameters, and to no avail whenever I try something (without verbose) it just flashes a gray screen with an apple logo in the centre for a split second then goes black and then the system reboots I've tried almost every possible combination of boot flags, and I switch from the gpu to the integrated graphics, but it still gives no results :L

I've got an msi z97 lga 1150 board, an i5 4690k with an msi gtx 970,and I heard that yosemite had support for the new maxwell cards, so I picked a 970. I've got 2x8gb 1600mhz ram.

I'm trying to install it to a 512gb crucial mx100 ssd which has been split into two, half of it was allocated to windows and the other is unallocated. then I have 2 wd blues 1tb each, one has windows stuff on it already and the other one is unallocated planning to put mac stuff there. (all the specs are in my siggy)

If anyone has this config and has successfully got into osx with it, pls help

Kernel panic? Did you see the error msg with -v flag?

Maybe AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kext related problem. Try this fix if it is.  http://hackintosh.zone/page/osx86.html/hackintosh/articles/fix-no-hpets-available-kernel-extension-in-backtrace-comappledriverappleintelcpupowermanagement

Use bootflags

maxmem=4096 no-zp

-POST INSTALLATION

booted with: maxmem=4096

Multibeast:

DSDTFree

-Drivers Audio: ALC1150

-Drivers Network: AtherosE2200Ethernet...

reboot, done.

Didn't work should I have it boot through the gtx gpu or integrated one? And what's "no-zp" exactly?

disable the integrated gpu and vt-d in the bios

 

and im not sure what flag that is

[Just The Tips]

I always have to take my GPU out during the installation and reseat it when i'm done.

wait what boot flags did you use and what bios settings did you use?

Just asking: What bootloader are you using? Clover or Chameleon?

If you are using Chameleon, I would Highly recommend you to try it again with Clover. As far I know you should be able to boot (OSX 10.10) with following arguments: -v npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1

 

And If I'm not completely wrong, the GTX 970 is supported on 10.10 with the latest NVIDIA Web drivers...

I just built this system so its fresh on my mind. You have to add  bootflags: -v -x nv_disable=1 maxmem=4096 npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=0 in Chameleon or -v nv_disalble=1 you don't have to add kext-dev-mode=1 as Clover adds that in the config.plist file for you, but check that its there for post install. The reason  it keeps rebooting is because of the Gpu. adding kext-dev-mode=1 dose not help because you have not updated to latest web drivers. I ended up using clover, but I first tried Chameleon. Think I like clover a bit better. Non the less its worked when I was installing clover. If you don't use nv_disable=1 then nvda_drv=0 should work as well but did not try it. It just shuts the driver off for Nvidia and tell it to use basic monitor functions. It will lag and feel sluggish but will allow you to boot in. Then for post install you will have to add Kex-dev-mode=1 nvda_dvr=1. I am not sure about Chameleon but in Clover you will set inject Nvidia as false in config.plist. Also swap out in the Drivers64UEFI folder VBoxHfs=64.efi for HFSPlus-64. That what I had to do to get my computer to boot up consistently. Every now and then then I have to add -v to boot up.
