Hi @Micky1979,

 

I have attached my logs as you asked. However, since the last time I posted, GM build went up and so I decided to see for myself how the probable final build would work out. So once again I decided to create a new Pandoras box installer from scratch (mainly for the purpose of writing a guide).

 

I used the GM build, the same 8gb usb stick which worked for me on the DP1 build and the same laptop on which I had installed the DP1 build of Mavericks. I don't know if these are bugs per se, but they sure are annoyances.

 

1) While installing if I select modules relating to C libraries in the installer, the installer just quits when you hit the install button with the error "Keylayout_tiles" missing. I have no other option but to restart. Could not save a log for this as it just happens too quickly.

 

2) Weird behaviour by the installer: If you notice the screenshot I have attached, well this behaviour continues into the usb stick too. Let me explain.

As you can see in the screenshot, even though nothing is selected, the "-' is still there in the initial box. Well, lets just say you decide to click that box once more...it turns into a tick, but if you click it again it gets deselcted. Apparently both the installer and post installer hate this. The installation will invariably fail. It should be there in the logs I posted.  I tried this out many times over to confirm it.  Deselecting "all" options ...even if you are doing it on purpose to save all the hard work for a post install.... will cause the install to fail .....The same happens in a post install.

 

3) A peculiar behaviour with Pandoras Box usb creator.     If you need to use a usb stick and lets say this stick is already a GPT enabled usb stick with a single HFS+ partition on it ...... You still have to Re-partition it in Disk utility or the installation will fail with an error while copying saying that "xxxxxx files do not exist".

 

Thats it. I still say this installer is really beats everything else, especially the one from the other site ;)

 

PS: Remember in my last post I said that AICPUPM panics. Yes it does ....only if I select it from the installation menu. The same kext when installed during post installation and after deleting Nullcpupm works perfectly. Although I had to rollback ACPiPlatform for the purpose of the batterymanager kext.

"Keylayout_tiles" is invisible and not used options, it is strange that gives error. However I have at this time, eliminated all hidden options to avoid this error.

 
Now the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement  patch always works (in during or post installation, in Lion, ML or in Mavericks)
 
I have to give to  @C.Frio a new version (not a Beta, but RC 1 version), you also want to test it for me?

I'll send a copy of Pandora RC 1 also to you :)

Hi,

 

How can I remove the fbrotate that Pandora's Box installed? 

Just re-run Pandora's Box,  choosing the option again (install if there is no / uninstall if present). You can see this from the log file is on your desktop.

My system is stuck at installing the thunderbolt update 1.0 at every boot. it never goes away. I think it has to do something with this

14/10/13 8:27:38.000 pm kernel[0]: SMC::smcInitHelper ERROR: MMIO regMap == NULL - fall back to old SMC mode

HAve updated to latest fakesmc kext. Rebooting to test it out now.
