Stuck at Apple logo fix

Issue:Stuck at Apple logo fix

 

Solution:If you have just installed OS X for the first time and your Hackintosh is getting stuck at the white screen with the Apple logo and the spinner is spinning endlessly try using -v -x boot flags.

You should normally boot with safe mode the first time around along with verbose mode to see the last line of code just in case it gets stuck.It’s always best practice to use integrated graphics, especially with the new CPU’s, to minimize problems.

Installation Issue: Hanging at 1 Minute Left
Issue: Installer hangs at about “1 minute left”

Solution: Once the installer hangs at 1 min left, Reboot back into the DVD installation in the same manor as before. Do NOT format the drive, Relabel or enter the disk utility at all. Continue through the installation, this time it will finish installing successfully, and quicker as it will only install the missing files.

KernelPanicIssue:AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement

Issue:Kernel Panic Issue :AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement

Solution:If You Got Kernel Panic on/about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement make you have NullCPUPowerManagement.Kext Is Installed .Then use Following Commands :

 

Step 1:  Boot in Single User mode by interrupting the Chameleon bootstrap and enter -s boot flag, having highlighted the targeted OS X partition to boot from.

Step 2: Shortly afterwards, you will be given the possibility to enter your own commands. You need write access to the partition, so we start with these commands:

fsck -fy
mount -uw /
Step 3: Go to the directory where you installed the kext.

cd /System/Library/Extensions/
or

cd /Extra/Extensions
Step 4: Remove the kext you just installed.

rm -rf example.kext
Step 5: Remove caches.

rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches
Step 6: Clear nvram.

nvram -d boot-args
 Step 7: shutdown pc by following command:

​shutdown -r now

The system will automatically reboot upon myFix completion and it should normally work again!

KerneL Panic Issue :AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB

Issue:KerneL Panic Issue :AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB

Solution:If You got Kernel Panic or Kernel Extensions Backtraces thats due to your IntelHD Graphics so you will need to delete those Kexts use Above Commands:
Solution:2:You Can do a fresh Install of Niresh Mac OSX When installing make sure you have Selected kext in Graphisc/backup/move graphics extensions.it will boot fine after getting working OSX you can install or Enable your Graphics

KerneL Panic Issue :AppleIntelHDGraphics

Issue:]KerneL Panic Issue :AppleIntelHDGraphics

Solution:Similar to Issue:KerneL Panic Issue :AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB

 

 

boot0:Error

 

Advertisement

Issue:boot0 error

 

Solution:Most of time you have not installed a Bootloader or Your bootloader is messed with windows/linux bootloader ,install a bootloader will fix your problem always install latest Chameleon Bootloader 

 

Solution:2:Download and install Chameleon Wizard ,Update it to the latest version if prompted.Click on the Install tab at the top.See Screenshot: Then based on your current setup choose the appropriate install method.  I have OS X on a standalone drive and Windows on it’s own drive so my install method would be Boot0md.  They are pretty self explanatory.  Make sure the correct Target partition is selected and then click the install button.  Now once you restart you should no longer see the previous boot0 errors.

Stuck:MissingBluetooth Controller Transport

Issue:Stuck at:Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport

 

Advertisement

Solution:you will need to remove the AppleIntelHD* and AppleIntelF* kexts from the installation on the hard drive ,You can do this from single user mode (-s)

Boot -s.  When you see the prompt “root:”, then:

Type:  mount -uw /
Type:  cd /System/Library/Extensions
Type:  mkdir intel_back
Type:  mv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelF* intel_back/
Type:  touch ../Extensions
Reboot -v

 

Stuck:[IOBluetoothHCIController[start]completed

 

Advertisement

Issue:stuck at [IOBluetoothHCIController][start] — completed 

 

Solution:If you have a CPU that does not end in a K, aka unlocked versions, then check your BIOS and look for something called Vt-d and Disable it.  This is known to cause issues with OS X while providing no benefit to OS X.

Another issue might be if you are using a VGA cable for your monitor.  It’s known to not work unless you do some kext editing, so if possible use HDMI or DVI.As always, I’ve found it best to use IGFX whenever possible

Infinite restart loop

Issue: Infinite restart loop

 

Solution:This is super frustrating isn’t it? Darwin will load to a certain point, and then just instantly restart. You can’t tell what caused the restart because it happens so fast.

 

Advertisement

Chances are this was a kernel panic, and your bootloader is set to instantly restart on panic. To solve this you should ditch your bootloader and install a new one. Which one you choose is dependant on your version of OSX, and your hardware.

 

iMessage login

Issue:iMessage login

 

Advertisement

Solution:Open Finder, and go to /Extra in your main hard drive. Inside this “Extra” folder, create a folder named “Modules”. If you already have a folder named “Modules”, then just open the currently existing folder. Then, download FileNVRAM.dylib.

 

Stuck at [PCI Configuration Begin]

 

Issue:Stuck at [PCI Configuration Begin]

Advertisement

 

Solution:If you find your Hackintosh getting stuck at [PCI Configuration Begin] you should be able to fix this using thenpci=0x3000 boot flag for Mountain Lion.  If you are running Lion you would use the npci=0x2000 boot flag.

 

com.apple.GeForce; com.apple.NVDAResman Kernel Panic Issue

Issue: System stops on Kernel Panic during boot.

Advertisement

Solution:This is caused by the GeForce Kexts that are installed by default. The issue is resolved by removing the GeForce kexts at boot, and it can be done as followed:

boot with -s
mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*kext
exit

Lan-Freeze issue

 

This is well known and should be fixed in Release V.2.
For now you can use the cpus=1 option at boot load, or permanently put it in the bootloader:

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

And replace the current string with this one:

Advertisement
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-v -legacy cpus=1</string>

If your board has got 2 LAN Ports, then do not use the nForce one.

Install the proper drivers for your second Port, for example Marvell Yukon, and use it instead of nForce LAN. Also delete forcedeth.kext after you installed the drivers.
This will fix the Problem.

Also you can consider using Wi-Fi, which works as well.

Making Mac partition bootable

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

 

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

sudo -s
fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX --->(X is the number of your HD, if you have only on its 0)
update
f X --->(X is the number of the partition where you installed Leopard)
w
q
reboot

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

 

PS/2 Mouse & Keyboard issue

after installing Leopard , boot again from the install dvd and after choosing your language, choose “terminal” from the menu bar: then enter this command:

cp -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext /Volumes/leopard//System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext

Advertisement

NOTE: replace /Volumes/Mac OSX according to the name you gave at your Mac OSX partition

Also worth considering: use of USB keybords/mice during installation issues.
This is a big issue for acer laptop users – Mostly aspire 5000 – 5300 series

 

Mach Reboot

 

Advertisement

The problem is due to a non suitable kernel for your processor. If you have a SSE2-only processor,Mostly for AMD CPU Users

 

Solution:Use the Latest Kernel for your CPU ,Download kernel replace with original allways workss

 

Crashing When Opening: About This Computer

Advertisement

Issue: OS suddenly crashes, and reloads back to desktop when user attempts to open “About this Computer”

Resolution: Download these

·         (IONetworkingFamily.kext) => NO NEED BUT YOU CAN DO

·         AppleSMBIOS.kext => THIS IS NEEDED

and place them into /system/library/extensions/. If it asks to replace, hit Yes. After that Open Terminal Utility. Then type:
(Note: After each line hit return to execute command)

Advertisement
sudo -s

cd /system/library/extensions

chmod -R 755 * && chown -R root:wheel *

cd ..

rm -r extensions.mkext

kextcache -a i386 -e

reboot

USB Devices not working

 

Solution: With this tip I’m not saying that you are going to make your USB devices to work, but it is worth the try.
– Restart your PC and go into BIOS menu. Go to USB configuration section. Set USB Controller = Enabled. Set USB 2.0 Support = Enabled. Set Legacy USB Support = Disabled.
– Save changes and reboot.
– Boot into Leopard just with -v (don’t use -legacy flag).
– If it works, edit com.apple.Boot.plist and remove -legacy flag, if exists.

Solution:2: download IOUSBFamily.kext extension (located here, in Utilities & Resources) that may work for you. Always make a backup copy of the extension that you are going to replace. If it doesn’t work, boot in single user mode and restore the old one

How to:Install Error loop at account creation

 

 

Issue: Upon install, the process hangs in an infinite (?) loop circling between chosing language and creating / transferring an user acount (“Do you already own a mac?”).
According to the forum, the problem seems to be connected to problems concerning the network card.

Advertisement

 

Solution 1: Importing an account from an existing (Tiger) installation.

 

Solution 2: Booting with the flag “Graphics Mode”=”640x480x32”. The resulting low screen-resolution prevents the setup screen, thus skipping the “loop”. As one is not able to create a new username, only the default “admin” is created. This can be changed later on.

 

Advertisement

Solution 3: Some people reported success with disabling the network card in the bios or disconnecting the cable.

 

Solution 4: Boot using “-s” flag then type ->

/sbin/mount -uw /

passwd root <- Type any password you want

touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

reboot

Stuck “Waiting for root device”

 

Advertisement

Issue:Upon booting DVD installer you see a message “waiting for root device…” This is a known issue that comes up quite frequently. Your IDE or SATA chipset may not be supported by the installer. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this problem. You must have a working install of OSX to do this.

 

Solution 1 Find a known working kext for your specific chipset.(Google is your friend)

hdiutil attach /"Leopard.iso" -readwrite

Create a folder named Extensions on your Desktop
Unpack Extensions.mkext from the Leopard.ISO in this folder

mkextunpack -v -d /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Remove the MeDevil’s kext(AppleNforceATA.kext)
Replace with the one known to work for your chipset
Fix the permissions on your new file

Advertisement

 

type

kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/mach_kernel -m /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions.mkext /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions

and place the newly created Extensions.mkext into the ISO and burn it to DVD and try again.
