Dell XPS 8700 - Restarts after loading Kexts

Hi.. I've discovered this forum on your youtube channel. I am amused by the work you've put into Hackintosh installers. Great job on that.

I've purchased a DELL XPS 8700 recently and had poor luck installing Hackintosh on it.

Processor: Intel Core 4th Generation i7-4770 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.9 GHz)
12 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 1.0GB GDDR5 (REMOVED)


I tried both your BOOT USB OS X MOUNTAIN LION+POSTINSTALL-V6 and BOOT USB OS X MAVERICKS+POSTINSTALL-V1

I've uploaded my boot

BOOT USB OS X MOUNTAIN LION+POSTINSTALL-V6

Mountain Lion 10.8.5


BOOT USB OS X MAVERICKS+POSTINSTALL-V1

Mavericks 10.9 GM



I've took some screenshots of my BIOS

Did you try with the Graphics card ??  if not;   try With the Graphics card and

type this boot flag   at start up  


GraphicsEnabler=No -v -x

PS: respecte cap and spaces

Thanks for the lighting fast response. YES I've tried with the Graphics Card and all sorts of boot flags with unitruc but no luck. Will Try now with your release and will post my results.

I've seen a lot of people complaining about this same issue with Haswell processors. Someone said, restarting @ starting darwin x86_64 boot args boot-uuid= ....... has something to do with Early build issue on Kernel.

Depends the MOBOS on Haswell, GA mobos works great  

I've plugged the Graphics card in and tried GraphicsEnabler=No -v -x with both ML and Maverics .. NO LUCK:cry: 

ok try
GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 cpus=1 -v -f -x

No LUCK  .. Tried both ML and Mavericks. Restarted the same way.

Do you think it has anything to do with my BIOS settings?

Try to desable the speed step ok

Set Speed Step to disabled .. Tried

GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 cpus=1 -v -f -x

GraphicsEnabler=No -v -f

GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 cpus=1 -v -f -x


NO LUCK ..  

ok remove the Graphics card   sorry LOL  and change the kernel for this one , used showallfile to seeing the hiden folder, and its for the v6 ML Installer

reboot


GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v

Nooo ... Dont be sorry, I really appreicate the effort you are putting in.

UPDATE:
I've removed the old mach_kernel and copy-pasted the one you've provided.

Ok, I removed the Graphics Card. Pulled 8 Gigs of RAM(Just in case). Now I have one chip 4 Gig.

I've rebooted 10.8.5 with the replaced kernel (GraphicsEnabler=Yes -v
)  and now I've got a Kernel Panic.

Another solution is try with the Installer v6 but with the os x installer ML 10.8.4, because this kernel is for Hswell with Ml 10.8.4 and lower    

How can I download 10.8.4 from the App store ???

I dont know  :   

  LEMME ASK GOOGLE ..

Ok .. I will download 10.8.4 , Mount the Installer.

Make a new USB with your V6 installer and which Kernel should I use ? the one that comes in the installer or the one you've sent me ?

the one I sent you  

and start whit -v  first

  

I will try and will post in here...

Again Thanks for all the help.. I really appreciate it and I must admit, no one helped me with quick replies like these on any other forum. You Rock ...
