Hi,

I have downloaded Niresh's 10.9 USB image and flashed on USB drive.

Trying to install the same on PC with following configuration.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
Mother Board: GA-890GPA-UD3H
RAM: Corsair RAM 2x2GB, 1333MHZ
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4290 (in-built to MB)

Then, I am getting following errors during first installation

1) FakeSMC: [Fatal] failed to inirialize SMC device

2) [ PCI configuration begin ] - Hangs here

I have tried all the possible boot arguments. like amd64, -v, -f, -x, -s, PCIRootUID=0/1, GraphicsEnabler=No/Yes and all

But no luck.

I have also tried to install same on Intel Core2Due Laptop(Dell Inspiron 1545). Here, also issue is same.

Here, I have attached screen shot.

Could any one please let me know, How to slove this issue.

Thanks,

Raju

Did you try npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000 boot flag?

This is the one you should use if it hangs on PCIConfigurationBegin.

The FakeSMC error is not important. You can boot with -v -f -x UseKernelCache=No and install the latest version of FakeSMC http://www.hackintoshosx.com/file/4157-new-installer-for-fakesmc-hwsensors-and-plugins which might also give you an error but it will not be as severe.
