Hi.

I have 2 problems:

- The installation doesn't recognize my hard drive. Do I need to inject a kext? (My motherboard has no AHCI mode, only ATA and RAID mode).

- The installation only boot with Nvidia Injector enabled, but the installation interface is really slow and the processor fan makes a lot of noise so I think the injector isn't optimized. Where can I find a better kext for my Nvidia GTS 240 GPU?

Thank you !

Tried almost everything.

 

Changed Intel Injection to NO. Changed Nvidia Injection to YES.

Changed ProductName (under SMBIOS) to iMac12,2 (Clover is pre-defining my system as iMac12,1).

Changed from HDMI to DVI port.

 

Tried with npci=0x2000 and npci=0x3000. Tried with PCIRootUID=1.

Tried with kext-dev-mode=1.

 

The problem persists. "DSMOS has arrived" appears and quickly the screen goes black. The external HD still blinks the led, indicating there's reading activity. According to this FAQ http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/FAQ#Q:-The-system-hangs-after-Waiting-for-DSMOS.-It-looks-like-my-HDD-keeps-working., my video card isn't being initialized. It says that I should try enabling and disabling the Inject configs in config.plist, but I've tried that already.

 

My hardware is:

Intel Core i5 2400 (Sandy Bridge)

GigaByte H67MA-USB3-B3

ALC889

RTL8111E

EVGA GeForce GTX 760

 

Maybe Clover is just incompatible with this VGA...

 

I've managed to boot the installer with nv_disable=1, but that's not how it's supposed to work.

 

The VGA is supposed to work OOB, I don't know why I'm getting the black screen after DSMOS has arrived message.

Did you choose the right options during Clover installation?

 

I just left the default options untouched and it installed the necessary drivers in Drivers64UEFI folder (VBoxHFS, etc).

 

I will try checking the first option (Install for UEFI booting only), it was unchecked by default.

 

I can't paste a screenshot here, only ask me for an URL and the image it's in my desktop.

Have a problem, following your guide, I've created an install USB, but when I restart and press enter to start installation I get stuck at Clover. I mean I press enter, mouse pointer disappears and nothing else happens.

 

Any suggestion?

Try to set, in bios, the usb device as first boot option. Save settings,reboot.

My install hangs  on  "NTFS Volume name , version 3.1" and does nothing. Any help?

 

If you are trying to install to a drive that has Windows on it already, that may be the cause. I've run into this once or twice before and had to format my disk BEFORE attempting to install OS X.

I have tried this, it's always the same result, no matter if USB is loaded first or I select to load it by hand.

I had this. To fix this, I had to swap out the VBoxHFS-64.efi for the HFSPlus.efi as it says in the first post; although the link there is broken and i got it from elsewhere.

 

I'm stuck later :-( At a white apple logo on a black screen, a progress bar at 0, and a spinning beachball.

 

Also I'd actually successfully done the first part of the installation to a freshly-formatted driver earlier; but have never been able to get it to reboot back into it. Clover now doesn't seem to detect it.

I have used your installation guide.

 

100% success, very stable system, very fast, with the exception of imesssage everything else is working perfectly.

 

FaceTime 

Sound 

Sleep, Hibernate, shutdown, reboot, 

Booting takes about 10-12 seconds.

 

My system:

 

MOBO: GA Z87X-UDH5 (bios: F10c)

CPU: i7 4770k

RAM: 32 GB 

SSD: 480 GB

Raid 0: 6 TB

Nvidia: 730 GTX 2 GB

 

Installation started without any argument, 

After Installation booted again from the usb 

selected the newly installed system, 

Installed bootloader, injected AppleHDA, 

Except sound, anything else worked out of the box.

Try with -v when is prompting, you can understand many things when using verbose.

I'm having only 16 Gb RAM and a 650Ti. Worked fine.

can you post your config of clover?

Using Pikeralpha's version of AppleHDA injection + Clover Injection to use unpatched AppleHDA

my bug is a restart if i'm doing a shutdown after some sleep modes or bios is entering (BIOS reset)

Okay, I too made the mistake of not selecting Install to ESP... My bad. 

 

Installed and fixed that now, and have attached my config file below. Honestly, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Clover, so I'm not too sure what to look for...

 

attachicon.gifconfig.plist.zip

 

Thanks again for all the help.

 

Holy.. Sorry for the late reply.. damn.. why did you enable EVERYTHING? Did you generate this config? You literally have ALL the options enabled. Why bother using the DSDT then?

 

Try this config.plist and let me know if it works.. If not, I'll edit it again (if using a DSDT, which you seem to be using):

I have this output:

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Install --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

Password:

/Volumes/Install is not a valid volume mount point.

prime1:~ rulet$

Have you labelled you usb as install?

For Legacy BIOS motherboards, should we install Clover in the ESP of the HD where Yosemite is installed?

For my Dell Vostro 200, I did select esp for the clover install.

Hi everyone, sorry for the newbie question. The guide says "Copy FakeSMC and Network kexts to /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.10  (you’ll have to create the 10.10 folder}", but I do not know where to find these kexts in order to copy them to the clover kexts folder. I was able to download a FakeSMC kext from one of the posts in this thread, but I do not know where to get the Network kext. Thanks for your help!

Still no luck... Followed all the directions... After I select USB in the bios boot menu it can't get past the "Loading Operating System..." on black screen. Just sits there for 30+ minutes and more. I tried using Clover_v2k_r2953 and Clover_v2k_r2957. My hack has been running 10.8 and 10.9 for over two years with not one problem. Weird I can't get to boot...

 

I'm no rookie but feel like one!
