Mavericks only boots in safe mode and some other problems.

[jce69]

Hi, a noob here. I just installed Mavericks on my Dell Inspirion 15r 3521 with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with no issue. The only problem is that it only starts in safe mode.

I checked verbose mode and the attached screenshot shows where it hangs.

 

The other problem is that my audio doesn't work. I know my driver is a Realtek alc 3221.

 

Any help at all would be appectiated.

i have the same machine.

after lots of wasted time in troubleshooting, i have graphics working.

 

download and install chameleon wizard.  if your ethernet isn't working yet, you'll need to download it on another computer then put it on a usb stick.

 

go to Extra and open your boot.plist with chameleon wizard.

 

copy this EFI string

 

7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000003006601140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d31

 

and paste it in the "device properties" box.  check the checkbox.  make sure Graphics Enabler is checked in the right-hand column.

 

then go to system/library/extensions and copy AppleIntelHD4000Graphics.kext to your desktop, then delete it from S/L/E.  i discovered that when booting in normal mode, this kext loads and causes the hang on boot.

 

then, using kext wizard, repair disk permissions and rebuild the cache.

 

then click save and reboot in normal mode.

 

if that works, then next is audio:

 

download the latest VooDooHDA.kext:

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/voodoohda/

 

go to system/library/extensions and remove AppleHDA.kext, then use Kext Utility to install the downloaded voodoohda kext, then repair permissions/rebuild cache.

 

after rebooting, you may need to go to system preferences/sound and choose the "speaker" device.

 

let me know if all that works, then we'll move on to getting ethernet to work.

Ken, you are the one! I spent whole day to find out how to boot my latitude 3330 without in safe mode. Before reading your post, my laptop can only be in safe mode, no graphicsenabler, no sound, no trackpad. I read many other posts, tried a lot different ways to boot, but could change anything. Using chameleon wizard solved all problems! Thank you very much.
