Whenever i try to boot into clover and enter bootargs and then enter onto the bootable usb drive i get a black screen, tried on two different computers with same result. I made bootable usb again and again and I'm sure it's 100% fine. I just can't get what's the problem. Any help is most appreciated! having the same problem here!

Colask8 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So i found that clover is hiding my yosemite partition for some reason, checked config.plist under hide, it is not setup to hide it. 2:437 0:050 6: 'USB' 2:592 0:155 hiding entry: \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi P.S. for no confusion i named my yosemite as USB long time ago when i installed mavericks, but didnt rename it afterwards.

class000 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I will try to experiment different video settings and update on the issue of black screen. It could also be due to bad bootloader! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Pettigrove Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I have an HD4600 Built in card. I do see this card listed under Clover, option, Graphics Injector. Intel Inject is checked and Injext EDID is unchecked. I changed Nvidia to true in my clover boot config file, but seeing I am not using an Nvidia card this may not help. Let me know what else I can do. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class000 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 For people getting blacked by Clover Go to this post and search for their graphic cards. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282787-clover-v2-instructions/ Search ctrl+f and enter black screen there you go problems with intel and amd come about.

Correct me if I am wrong Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchrius Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) This is an alternative guide to install Yosemite. All this steps must be run on Mavericks/Mountain Lion 1. Restore the BaseSystem.dmg in a USB device. 2. Delete the Packages link in /Volumes/USB/System/Installation/ 3. Eject, from Disk Utility, OS X BaseSystem 4. Rename, as a simple directory, your usb from "OS X BaseSystem" to "Install" 5. Copy Packages directory from /Volumes/OS X Install ESD/Packages in /Volumes/Install/System/Installation/ 6. Copy, with " cp -rp /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.* /Volumes/Install/ " 7. Eject, from Disk Utility, OS X Install ESD. 8. Copy the FakeSMC.kext and other kext you need. (Start with very needed kexts!) 9. Delete /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache 10. Download this -> kernel ( is the kernel of OS X 10.10 ) 11. Run, from terminal, this command: sudo kextcache -prelinked-kernel /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache -K ~/Desktop/kernel /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Extensions Now, if you have errors on kext dependencies you can remove it (if not needed) and retry to execute the command above. Tips: to search for a kext with terminal use the find function with: "find /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Extensions -name kext_name" and it will search also in PlugIns subfolders. Now you must install Clover to boot the system. (I'm not writing the steps here because are very simple and depends on your system) Good luck! PS. This is the method that I have used to install Yosemite on my Acer Aspire 6930G (in signature) Edited June 4, 2014 by Marchrius 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrek Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks Marchrius! I'm getting these errors though: VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext is not authentic; omitting. VoodooPS2Mouse.kext is not authentic; omitting. VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext is not authentic; omitting. VoodooPS2Controller.kext is not authentic; omitting. CPUSensors.kext is not authentic; omitting. ACPISensors.kext is not authentic; omitting. FakeSMC.kext is not authentic; omitting. And these kexts are pretty much essential for me. Is there any way to solve this? (also, it's kextcache, not kextcahce (typo)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchrius Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks Marchrius! I'm getting these errors though: And these kexts are pretty much essential for me. Is there any way to solve this? (also, it's kextcache, not kextcahce (typo)). This 2 kext are not required (is only for graphical info) CPUSensors.kext is not authentic; omitting. ACPISensors.kext is not authentic; omitting. For this: VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext is not authentic; omitting. VoodooPS2Mouse.kext is not authentic; omitting. VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext is not authentic; omitting. VoodooPS2Controller.kext is not authentic; omitting. FakeSMC.kext is not authentic; omitting. Is the file present in /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.cache/Startup/kernelcache ? If the answer is yes you can launch the installation with kext-dev-mode=1 -v -s and the rebuild the kernel cache, with the same command, from there. If the answer is no I think you must add the kexts to AppleKextExcludeList.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADHDMedia Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've built my USB installer and followed these guides to the letter, but I keep getting reboots right before I reach the installer GUI. Any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADHDMedia Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Just removed graphics kexts and now I can see that it's a KP. Trying to capture a drill before it reboots this time so I can report back. Lol and of course this time, after failing several times, I got it! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrek Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Is the file present in /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.cache/Startup/kernelcache ?

If the answer is no I think you must add the kexts to AppleKextExcludeList.kext How can I view the contents of kernelcache file? Also, I've tried adding those kexts to the excludelist using KextExcludeListUpdater (sudo KextExcludeListUpdater -f /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Extensions/VoodooPS2Controller.kext -k /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext - is this the right syntax?) but it didn't make any difference.

PookyMacMan Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 @theconnactic, don't know if you're still getting that installer error, but that has to do with the way the installer was created. I ran into that with Mavericks. I'll have to look back to see how I fixed it. @Zetch, that's because you didn't copy all the pkg files to the installer so it's trying to download everything.

Craig Pettigrove Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I am surprised that I am unable to load Yosemite through Clover due to having the HD4600. That means that everyone that has the GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD4H is in the same boat unless they have a dedicated GPU. Would I need to put an Nvidia card in just to do the installation or would I need to keep it in whenever I am running Yosemite. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The -f option must be used with a directory (e.g /Volumes/Install/System/Library/Extensions) then it will add all the new kexts to AppleKextExcludeList.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes it even worse because AKEL.kext wont be authentic after editing anymore. This is true unfortunately, it now indicates that AKEL.kext is not authentic.

Thanks Create a dsdt and try this patch into your dsdt.aml then put the dsdt.aml into clover under Clover/ACPI/patched https://github.com/xenatt/Hackintosh/blob/master/DSDT/Patch/INTEL-HD4600.txt Here the patch: hope you have an Intel hd4600, so should your graphics card to work. What settings do you have to make in clover config.plist ... because you have to search in the clover instructions. Good luck!

backdash Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 so, install went fine after rebuilding .mkext with FakeSMC in it on installation Stick, however it won't boot with Ozmosis 828M. switched to Oz 894M and it Boot fine...

blackosx Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thought I’d join the party.. 10.10 installed no problem. After reading some of the reports I’m surprised how snappy it feels. Booting with Clover, both legacy and UEFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchrius Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yep, figured it out already and it has done its job, but... This is true unfortunately, it now indicates that AKEL.kext is not authentic. Are you creating the kext instead of kernelcache? If you do this things from OS 10.10 single mode user you must start with kext-dev-mode=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
