**********(PM's don't help other people in the community)**********

 

I'm sure we're all itching to give Mavericks a go so here's the install process:
The process is mostly the same as with Lion/ML except a few subtle differences.

Any problems with the below please don't hesitate to let me know.

installation troubleshooting thread here:
http://www.insanelym...roubleshooting/

Essential Software
All included as an attachment below (use the V2 attachment).

Creating the installer
1. Prepare your USB as GUID partition map with a HFS+ partition.
2. Mount your Mavericks DMG (Right click on “Install OS X 10.9 Developer Preview” then its in /Contents/Shared Support/InstallESD.dmg)
3. Mount BaseSystem.dmg by typing the following in terminal:
open /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg
4. Restore “OS X Base System” to your USB
5. Navigate to /System/Installation your USB drive Delete the “Packages” link then copy the Packages folder from “OS X Install ESD” to this location.
6. Use pacifist to extract mach_kernel from /OS X Install ESD/Packages/BaseSystemBinaries.pkg to the root of your USB drive. (Note: This is in the attachment).
7. Copy essential kexts to /System/Library/Extensions on your USB stick.

8. Install chameleon to the USB drive
9. Create the extra folder for the USB (copy your old one over)
10. Copy your folder of essential software & kexts to your USB stick.
 

Installing OS X
1. Install OS X. After install boot back into the installer then:
2. From the installer go to Utilities and Terminal.
3. Type cp –R /System/Library/Extensions/NullCPUPowerManagement.kext /Volumes/"OS X"/System/Library/Extensions/
4. Type: cp –R /System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext /Volumes/"OS X"/System/Library/Extensions/

(Note: the above assume you called the partition you've installed OS X to OS X).
5. Type reboot

Part 4 – Initial boot
1. Reboot your system and boot to the USB stick again but this time select your OS X install. This should boot you into your installed copy of ML (any problems here try booting with -v -x -f before posting to the forum).
2. Install chameleon to your OS X drive.
3. Copy your Extra folder over.
4. Reboot & enjoy!

Hi there,

Thanks for the guide. I have followed it all and boot the installer choose english setup language and then it comes up with a message saying that Mac OS X 10.9 can't be installed on this computer.

Not sure what I am doing wrong, I only put the kexts in the package provided not sure if I am supposed to put the keyboard or sound one in as well.

System specs are:

Celeron G530

Foxconn H67M

Asus G210 silent 1gb

4Gb Ram.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

You're using a SMBIOS from a mac model that won't be supported on Maverick. Try a SMBIOS from a new model (use chameleon wizard to generate one)

Or he can edit USB/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg/Distribution

(open mpkg with Flat Package Editor)

 

There is:

Line #8 - min RAM required (2GB default)

Line #35 - virtual machine installation support (change false to true)

Line #60 - platform/system board checks (change false to true)

 

Save & replace.

Not tested yet. I'm still waiitng for MBR patch.

There is a new Chameleon version. Using the patched boot file is not necassary anymore. Just use Chameleon Wizard to install the latest version on USB drive and later on on your Mavericks HDD.

I have a Z87-D3HP with an i7 4770.

 

Although I am using a new version SMBIOS (Mac Mini 2011) the machine still refuses to let me install it because it is unsupported.

 

Not only that but the PCI config issue comes up and ncpi=0x2000 or 0x3000 does not solve it. It will stop there saying configuring PCI and will stay until it boots to the GUI.

Installed 10.9 but I can't boot into it (p8p67le + gtx570) there seem to be some issues related to my graphic card because each time I boot, the system freezes right after the "iobluetoothhcicontroller" line.

I think, it has something to do with the graphics (from what I've read on the net).

I tried -f -v -x graphicsenabler=no npci=0x300 and pcirootuid=0 but nothing works.

I've had similar issues with lion and mountain lion, but -v graphicsenabler=no npci=0x3000 pcirootuid=0 would make it work before...

 

Any suggestions what else I could try?
