Ok, so I have been following THIS guide on here on how to install 10.9.4 and I get to Part 3 - #3  (and this showed up before I went into Disk Util too but,) There is a popup that says "There was a problem installing "Mac OS X"   Try reinstalling. " With an Ok button.

 

Part 3 – Installing OS X

3.1 Installing OS X
1. Stick the USB drive in the computer you wish to install OS X on and boot from your USB drive. If you’re unsure how to do this when your computer first turns on look for a prompt that says “Press X for boot selection menu” (where X is a key) or something of that effect. Common keys are F8 & F12.
2. When Chameleon comes up press enter to boot OS X. The OS X installer should boot. Go to the utilities menu and click disk utility. Select the disk / partition you wish to install OS X to, call it "OS X" and format it as “Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)” (See Part 2.1. if you’re a bit rusty with disk utility).  

N.B. For those dual booting on the same HDD as Windows ensure you've got the Partition Scheme set to MBR.
3.  Follow the installer to install OS X to the desired partition.

I have tried rebooting but there is no effect.   I have to boot with the flag "-x" otherwise I get a kernal panic that looks like the Included file..

Thanks! :D

So are you saying to skip Mavericks? or is that just because you made a guide for Yosemite? lol 

 

 

 

EDIT- Im just going to to a total re install with the above mentioned guide and post a new thread..

I have guide for Mavericks  to ! see my signature , My point is why using chameleon with your specs 

 

Better chance with the UEFI Bootloader

Ok, I started over and tried it with clover and it seemed to be abit harder to use/not as well documented as the other method...
