Mavericks wont boot with my ATI 7870; only with Intel HD4000


Recommended Posts

As stated in the post i cannot boot into my Mavericks OS X. only with the onboard gfx Intel HD 4000.

I installed using this: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/9086005/OS_X_Mavericks_10.9_bootable_USB_for_Intel_PCs_%2813A603%29

Which is great thanks! Everything works (sound, network, etc) except video kext for ATI 7870.

I used multishit - Mavericks Edition (latest) to install bootloader Chimera 2.2.1 which works fine for me. I can dual boot into my Windows 7 partition :)


here are my computer specs:


Intel Core i7 3770K CPU w/ Intel HD4000

Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 2GB

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 2.70 bios patched

4x8Gb = 32GB RAM Kingston

OCZ 256Gb SSD


So why doesnt my Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 2GB work? It just freezes while booting. I thought Mavericks included kexts for this ATI chip?? It used to boot fine with my Mountain Lion OS before!
