rainbowmac Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I can't figure Clover out!! I've tried so many times! Heres what I've done so far: I restored the InstallESD.dmg onto my USB drive formatted as OS X Extended Journaled, GPT using Disk Utility (I also have a MacBook). I then downloaded Clover from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/files/Installer/Clover_v2k_r2184.zip/ I ran the installer, choose Customise, and ticked: Install boot0af in MBR, CloverEFI 64-bits SATA & Drivers64 -> UsbMouseDxe-64 I installed it to another USB with a single FAT partition, MBR. I put the fakesmc.kext I got from OSX86.net into the /EFI/kexts/10.8/ folder (I still got the same results without including the kext). When I boot off the USB and choose to boot of the install USB I get a kernel panic: <!-- Ususal stuff here, doesn't look as important --> AppleACPIPlatformExpert::start failed panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff80034649c1): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2050.48.12/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1514 Debugger called: <panic> Backtrace (CPU 0), Frame : Return Address <!-- Insert gibberish here --> BSD process name corresponding to current thread: Unknown Boot args: ncpi=0x2000 -v root-dmg=file:///BaseSystem.dmg <!-- Insert the rest of the usual KP gibberish here about the version and kernel and uptime --> Please help! My stuff: ASUS B85M-G Intel i5 4430 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM Mac OS X 10.8.5 (Mac App Store purchase) 32GB USB 3 Flash Drive I also have a MacBook to use.

slayer2333 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Remove ioplatformplugin.kext from System/Library/Extensions , rebuild caches and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowmac Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Remove ioplatformplugin.kext from System/Library/Extensions , rebuild caches and you're good to go. Thanks for reply, I don't currently have OS X installed on the machine, I only have the USB I created with disk utility. There is not S/L/E folder on the USB.

level70steve Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Most installers are supposed to include an S/L/E, even if it's on a USB. If you have Windows on the side, you can browse your installer using MacDrive or Transmac. There is not S/L/E folder on the USB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amerc Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If you try the fix mentioned above without success, it could be your DSDT. Use this boot option (assuming you have Chameleon) DSDT=NONE My system was running until I created a DSDT.aml and started having kernel panics with the same symptoms as shown above.
