2 Credits/Sources
Everything OSx86-related is a collaborative effort amongst people who enjoy doing these things, as well as
those of us who enjoy tweaking and experimenting with things. Below are a list of sources used to compile
this guide:
1. Tech Erra
2.
OSX86 Wiki3. InsanelyMac
4. Forum member Pingu from Germany for helping me out with the text changes.
5. And all other forum members who have posted in my topic and helping out the community.
A special thanks goes to Brian from Tech Erra for using parts of their tutorial
3 Requirements
Here are the requirements:
1.
A Dell Optiplex 780 This is necessary to install OSX Mavericks for this tutorial
2. A copy of Mac OS X This can be in the form of an existing hackintosh, a virtual machine within
Windows or Linux, or even a regular Mac. If you dont have any of these things, then find someone
who can help you out for a while. I prefer using a hackintosh with OSX Mountain Lion.
Using an already working copy of Mac OS X either in a VM or a native hackintosh install is
HIGHLYrecommended.
3. A 8GB USB flash drive (or larger) Well be copying the files to the drive appropriately, so make
sure that you have a flash drive with enough storage space (8GB or larger).
4. A copy of Mavericks 10.9 GM If you dont have a Mac Developer Account, then youll find torrents
of 10.9 around the web.
5.
30-60 minutes of time Depending on how tech-savvy you are, this may be quick, or it may take a
while.
6. An SSD or HDD to install 10.9 to For me, I used a 500GB HDD to install 10.9 to.
7. An PCI Express Video Card For use with QE and CI Highly recommended. I use a Sapphire Ati
Radeon HD5450 1GB but 512MB or 2GB also works.
8. Install109.zipThis ZIP file contains everythingthat you need to get your flash drive properly
prepared.
Note:The files for number 8 "Install109.zip" contains the following Directory's (4) and files:
Kernel -Mach Kernel
Kexts- FakeSMC.kext - NullCPUPowerManagement.kext - EliottForceLegacyRTC.kext -
AppleIntelE1000e.kext - VoodooHDA.kext
OSInstall- OSInstall - OSInstall.mpkg
(Not used for my configuration because I use the entire hard disk)
Utils- Chameleon-2.2svn-r2265 - Chameleon Wizard - Kext Utility - EFI Studio - ShowHiddenFiles
The first 3.kext files will fix most kernel panics en bios reset that you might experience while booting.
The 2 OSInstall files will allow you to install 10.9 onto an MBR-partitioned drive ( ! this is not tested, for
further info go toinsaneleymac forum!).

Preparing your SSD or HDD for install on a MBR-partitioned drive
If you intent to install OSX86 Mavericks on the same Hard disk as your windows follow the steps below.
For a clean install on a new formatted hard disk go to Chapter 6.
If youre in Windows 7, you can easily make a new partition on an SSD or HDD via theDisk Management
program.
1. Start>Run (or Windows key on your keyboardplusR).
2. diskmgmt.msc (press enter after typing that)
3. Find your drive, right-click on it, and go to Shrink Volume.
4. Wait for it to calculate the amount of space you can make your partition, and enter in your amount
(for an exact GB amount, multiple your desired amount of GB times 1024, so a 20GB partition wouldbe 20480MB).
5. Let it make your partition. It will show up as unallocated space.
6. Format the new unallocated space as NTFS and give it a label (mine was Mavericks).
7. Done!
6 Formatting your USB drive
Start OSX Mountain (Lion) or Snow Leopard to prepare your USB Flash drive
Make sure to backup the files that are already on your USB flash drive true Disk Utility in Mac OS X:
1. Extract the zip file Install109.zip to your Mac OS x desktop
2. Put USB drive in your Mac
3.
Open up Disk Utility.
4. Click on your USB drive in the left sidebar.
5. Click on the Erase tab in the middle.
6. Choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the format, and give your drive a label (like MAVERICKS
USB).
7. Click on the Erase button.
8. Done!
9. Leave Disk Utility open, as youll need it later.

7 Preparing your USB drive with 10.9
This part is the most time consuming. Using a USB 3.0 flash drive will help things out quite a bit.
1. Mount the DMG for Mavericks (will be called Mac OS X Install ESD on your desktop).
2. Show hidden files by running the app ShowHiddenFiles in the folder Install109 - Util on your
desktop.
3.
Click on Show Special Files (leave the app ShowHiddenFiles open we need this later).4. In the folder MAC OS X Install ESD right click on Basesystem.dmg and choose open with
DiskImageMounter(default)
5. Switch back to Disk Utility.
6. Click on your flash drive in the left sidebar.
7. Click on the Restore button in the middle area.
8. For the source, drag Mac OS X Base System from your desktop into the empty Source box.
9. For the destination, drag your USB drive from your desktop into the empty Destination box.
10. Click on Restore and type your password. This process will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes
depending on the speed of your flash drive.
11.
When its finished, youll end up with 2 Mac OS X Base System drives on your desktop. Figure outwhich one is your USB copy (you can right-click > Get Info and use the capacity as an indicator), and
rename it to MAVERICKSUSB, after that open it up.
12.
Once youve opened up MAVERICKSUSB (the one thats your flash drive), go to /System/Installation.
13. Youll see a symlink for Packages. Remove it.
14. Create a folder called Packages.
15. Open up a window of the original Mac OS X Install ESD drive and copy everything within Packages
to the empty Packages folder on your USB drive.
16. Done! 10.9 is now installed onto your USB drive. Now, we need to modify some of the files on it so
that it will properly bootup on a PC.
8 Adding the fixed 10.9 files to the USB drive
Now, we need to modify some of the files on your USB drive so that it will properly bootup on your PC.
1. Open the folder Install109 - Kexts on your Mac OS X desktop.
2. Copy 3 .kext files (FakeSMC.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, EliottForceLegacyRTC.kext) from
Install109 - Kexts to /System/Library/Extensions on your flash drive.
NOTE:The 2 OSInstall files will allow you to install 10.9 onto an MBR-partitioned drive, if you install it on
the entire hard disk skip step 3 and 4 an go further with step 5.
3. Copy the OSInstall file to
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/OSInstall.framework/Versions/A/, overwriting the file thats already there.
4. Copy the OSInstall.mpkg file to /System/Installation/Packages/, overwriting the file thats already
there.
5. Go to the root of your USB drive and create a folder called Extra. This is used to store configuration
files for the chameleon boot-loader.
6. Run the Chameleon installation package from Install - Utils. Make sure to install this package to your
flash drive.
7.
Choose in the Chameleon setup for Customize, in the customize screen choose Modules
FileNVRAM ( we need this to make iMessage work) after that go further with the install of
Chameleon.

21 Common boot options for Chameleon
-v
The mother of all boot flags. Entering -v into the bootloader turns on verbose mode, which is absolutely
critical for fixing any Hackintosh issue. Verbose mode displays every single process that takes place during
your bootup of Mac OS X. It can be rather intimidating, as it will display hundreds of lines of commands
during the bootup process. However, if your Hackintosh isn't booting, then verbose mode should freeze at
the exact point where the bootup process is tripping up. Take a photo of what verbose mode says before the
bootup freezes. You can then post that photo on a Hackintosh forumto look for help, or try to use the results
of verbose mode to guess what your problem is by yourself.
-x
Turns on safe mode. Mac OS X in safe mode ignores all Kext files and boot settings except those which are
absolutely necessary to booting the system. Safe mode is useful if you're trying to run the Mac OS X installer
on a PC that's not fullycompatiblewith Mac OS X. Also, if you accidentally installed a Kext file that's messing
up your Hackintosh, booting into safe mode may work around the problem. In safe mode, you can then
remove the offending Kext from /Extra/Extensions in your main hard drive (if you're running Mac OS X Snow
Leopard), or /System/Library/Extensions (if you're running Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion).
-F
If you've entered some extra boot flags into org.Chameleon.boot.plist, but they're messing up your
Hackintosh's bootloader, enter the -F boot flag to ignore them.
-f
Ignores Kext caches during bootup on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. If you did not install a Kext properly (usually
because you forgot to run System Utilities inMultibeastafter installing a new Kext), your Kext cache will be
damaged, and Mac OS X might become unbootable unless you use this boot flag. The Kext cache was
replaced by the kernel cache in Mac OS X Lion, so theoretically, the -f boot flag should no longer work;
however, this boot flag can still help some Hackintoshes boot (for reasons unknown).
UseKernelCache=Yes
Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion can use thekernel cacheto install Kexts, allowing Mac OS X to boot faster.
However, the kernel cache is turned off by default, and you have to enable it by using the boot flag
"UseKernelCache=Yes" (without quotation marks). Installing Easybeast or UserDSDT withMultibeastwill
automatically turn the kernel cache on for you. If Mac OS X is booting extremely slow on your Hackintosh, the
kernel cache might be malfunctioning, and you can turn it off with "UseKernelCache=No" (without quotation
marks). Turning off the kernel cache is equivalent to using the "-f" bootflag in Snow Leopard.
PCIRootUID=1
Some Hackintoshes will only boot when their "PCI Root ID" is set to 0. This usually happens with Hackintoshes
that use a AMD Radeon graphics card. Other times, a Hackintosh will only boot when its "PCI Root ID" is set to
1. In some cases, the boot flag "PCIRootUID=1" will also fixMac App Store verification errors.

If your verbose mode bootup of Mac OS X Lion or Mountain is freezing at [PCI Configuration Begin], enter the
npci=0x3000 boot flag to fix it. This flag is applied by default when you install Easybeast or UserDSDT
withMultibeast.The boot flag npci=x2000 does the same thing, except that it only works for Lion.

13 OS X MAVERICKS 10.9 GM ON A DELL OPTIPLEX 780 FROM START TO FINISH
arch=i386
Forces Mac OS X to boot into 32-bit mode. Sometimes, your CPU or graphics card won't be fully supported in
OS X unless you boot into 32-bit mode. Unlike in Windows, booting the 32-bit kernel for Mac OS X does not
limit your total amount of RAM to 4 GB, and you can still run 64-bit applications. However, single applications
cannot use up more than 4 GB of RAM, so this is a disadvantage if you do professional video editing, or
something else that takes up a lot of RAM. This boot flag no longer works in OS X Mountain Lion.
arch=x86_64
Allows Mac OS X to boot into 64-bit mode. This boot flag is usually unnecessary, as Mac OS X Snow Leopard
(and all versions beyond it) will boot into 64-bit mode by default.
-force64
ForcesMac OS X to boot into 64-bit mode. This is usually required to bootAMD Hackintoshes,especially on
Hackintoshes with AMD's newer six-core processors. Interestingly, you can use the -force64 boot flag and the
arch=i386 at the same time (I'm not sure what this will do, though).
cpus=1
This boot flag limits Mac OS X to using one core of your CPU. This boot flag is often necessary to launch theMac OS X Snow Leopard installation DVD on a Hackintosh with an unsupported processor (ahem,AMD
processors). However, you shouldn't have to use this boot flag once you'veinstalled the legacy kernel.
busratio=20
The 20 is replaced with your CPU's bus ratio. This boot flag is usually used when you're installing Mac OS X
Snow Leopard on a processor that's not supported (once again,AMD processors). Snow Leopard supports
more processors than it used to, so this boot flag isn't as common as before. You can find a list of busratios
for 2010-model Intel processorshere.You can alsofind your busratio manually.
mach_kernel
This boot flag locates the kernel ("mach_kernel"), an important boot file for Mac OS X. If your Hackintosh's
verbose mode says that it can't find mach_kernel for some reason, entering this boot flag will help the
bootloader find it (the kernel is usually found at the very base of the OS X file system). If you actually moved
your kernel to somewhere else in your hard drive, change "mach_kernel" to wherever the kernel is located.
For example, if the kernel is in the Extra folder of your main hard drive, enter the boot flag
"/Extra/mach_kernel" (without quotation marks).
GraphicsEnabler=No
This turns Graphics Enabler off/on (you can set "No" to "Yes"). Graphics Enabler is a feature that helps Mac OS
X work better with your graphics card, so it's turned on by default when you set up your Hackintosh
withMultibeast. However, when used with certain graphics cards (especially AMD Radeon cards), GraphicsEnabler may make Mac OS X unable to boot, or cause the graphics in Mac OS X to display incorrectly. If this is
the case, try entering "GraphicsEnabler=No" (without quotations) instead. Turning GraphicsEnabler off will
break DVD Player, as well as Geekbench, most games, most video editors, and certain other apps. Graphics
cards from NVIDIA's 600 series no longer require GraphicsEnabler to work with Mac OS X; in that case, turning
off GraphicsEnabler won't cause any negative effects.
debug=0x100
debug=0x144
Turns on debug mode. If you use either of these boot flags, and Mac OS X gets a kernel panic (which is the
Mac version of the blue screen of death), you'll see a debug screen full of code instead of a generic "You need
to restart your computer" message.

darkwake=0
The DarkWake feature in Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion allows you to wake up certain parts of your Mac
from sleep, while leaving other parts in sleep mode. Unfortunately, this feature often messes up sleep on
Hackintoshes. Enter this bootflag to turn it off (enter darkwake=1 to turn it on, if turning it off doesn't do the
trick). Additionally, if your verbose bootup is freezing at a bunch of commands that mention
"SleepEnabler.kext", entering darkwake=0 should be able to turn SleepEnabler.kext off. (Once you boot into
OS X, be sure to remove SleepEnabler.kext completely by deleting it from either /Extra/Extensions or
/System/Library/Extensions in your hard drive.)

22 OSX Keyboard Shortcuts
Learn about common OS X keyboard shortcuts. A keyboard shortcut is a way to
invoke a function in OS X by pressing a combination of keys on your keyboard.
To use a keyboard shortcut, or key combination, you press a modifier key with a character key. For example,
pressing the Command key (the key that has a symbol) and the "c" key at the same time copies whatever is
currently selected (text, graphics, and so forth) into the Clipboard. This is also known as the Command-C key
combination (or keyboard shortcut).
A modifier key is a part of many key combinations. A modifier key alters the way other keystrokes or
mouse/trackpad clicks are interpreted by OS X. Modifier keys include: Command, Shift, Option, Control, Caps
Lock, and the Fn key. If your keyboard has an Fn key, you may need to use it in some of the key combinations
listed below. For example, if the keyboard shortcut is Control-F2, press Fn-Control-F2.
Here are the modifier key symbols you may see in OS X menus:
(Command key) - On some Apple keyboards, this key also has an Apple ( ) logo
(Control key)
(Option key) - "Alt" may also appear on this key
(Shift key)
(Caps Lock) - Toggles Caps Lock on or off
Fn (Function key)
Startup shortcuts
Press the key or key combination until the expected function occurs/appears (for example, hold Option
during startup until Startup Manager appears, or Shift until "Safe Boot" appears). Tip: If a startup function
doesn't work and you use a third-party keyboard, try again with an Apple keyboard.
Key or key combination What it does
Option Display all bootable volumes (Startup Manager)
Shift Perform aSafe Boot(start up inSafe Mode)
Left Shift Prevent automatic login
CStart from bootable media (DVD, CD, USB thumb
drive, and so forth)
T Start inFireWire target disk mode
N Start from NetBoot server
