PGHammer21B Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Here's the rather surprising story - in addition to a bare-metal installation of OS X (Mavericks currently), I also have several OS X-based VMs. I created a new one (basically just for yuks) to test out USB stick installs in VMware Workstation 10 for Windows (suitably unlocked). The strangeness is that a stick that I created according to the directions from the current public beta fails natively, but works in VMware. It's not a similar stick, but the SAME stick. Natively, it will time-out (graphically) and go to sleep; however, it installed in VMware just fine; it is, in fact, running as I type this. Is the nVidia graphics support (the only difference in a native install's favor) that badly broken in Yosemite compared to Mavericks? (My native Mavericks install works just fine with Clover legacy as the loader - the SAME version of Clover is on the USB stick; 2803 for the curious. The stick itself is an "OEM" Kingston USB stick supplied to MicroCenter connected to a standard USB v2 port driven by the Intel G41 chipset.)

KibosJB Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Could be the same issue as this thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300375-cant-install-black-screen/ Try setting nv_disable=1 in clover, install, then remove the flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
