I make the usb bootable with win32DiskImager as in his tutorial. It boots up but when I select the Usb and it should start the install i get a Karnel Panic. 

My pc configuration is

HDD Sata 250 Gb

4 Gb Ram

Cipset is Intel Ich9

Intelcore2Duo 2,66 Mhz

 

Video Ati Radeon 512 Mb 4350 HD.

 

I have installed successfully mountain lion. But i Cannot make it work with Mavericks. 

 

So can anyone guide me step by step ?

Should I try make a USB installer with OSX Mavericks downloaded with app store and install on usb chameleon bootloader?

 

Anyone?

there is something wrong with the install usb. if it doesn't get into the install mode , its not seeing your HD. try to boot with -x safe mode. try to boot a DVD? Your HD has to be GUID >Mac j 

 found this for yosemite just use Maverick instead.

 

Step 1: Reformat Your USB Drive

First, make sure you have a USB flash drive that's at least 8 GBs in size, then mount it. Open up Disk Utility and do the following.

1. Select the USB drive (not the partition)
2. Go to the Partition tab
3. Change the "Partition Layout" to 1 Partition
4. Rename it Yosemite (or whatever you want)
5. Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the "Format"
6. Click the Options... button

 

1. Select GUID Partition Table
2. Hit OK

 

1. Confirm by clicking on Partition

 

Then just wait for it to finish erasing and repartitioning your USB flash drive. It will mount back up when it's done.

Step 2: Open the InstallESD Disk Image

Now that your USB thumb drive is ready, you'll need to open theInstallESD.dmg file from your Yosemite Install app.

1. Head to Applications
2. Find the Install OS X 10.10 Developer Preview app
3. Right-click on it and Show Package Contents

 

1. Navigate to Contents -> SharedSupport and open InstallESD.dmg
2. Wait for it to finish Verifying... and mount

 

1. When it mounts, you'll see a new window with a Packages folder

 

Now, don't do anything with this Packages folder just yet. First, we need to unhide the files located in this newly mounted OS X Install ESD image.

Step 3: Unhide All Files in Finder

To see the hidden files in the OS X Install ESD image, open up a Terminal and input the following two commands (hit Enter after each one). And don't worry, we'll be undoing this at the end of this guide.

• defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
• killall Finder

 

If successful, you will see three other files slightly grayed out in the mounted OS X Install ESD window. The one we need here is BaseSystem.dmg.

 

Step 4: Restore Your USB Drive to BaseSystem

Now, go back into Disk Utility and select the Yosemite partition of your mounted USB flash drive.

1. Open the Restore tab
2. Drag and drop Yosemite down to the Destination path
3. Drag and drop BaseSystem.dmg to the Source path
4. Hit the Restore button

 

Then, on the following prompts, click on Erase to initiate the restore process, then enter in your admin password and hit OK to proceed. Afterward, you'll have to wait a few minutes until it remounts. Once it does, you should see the OS X Base System window open.

 

System is the folder we're looking for, so proceed to the next step.

Step 5: Move the Packages Folder Over to Your Drive

Go ahead and open the System folder. A new window should pop up, and once it does, open the Installation folder. Then, head back to your OS X Install ESD window and drag and drop the Packages folder inside of theInstallation folder.

 

Go ahead and hit Replace to confirm that you want to write over thePackages alias, then wait for it to finish copying over. This will take a few minutes, as it's over 4 GBs large.

 

And we're almost done now. Only a couple things left to copy over...

Step 6: Copy Over the BaseSystem Files

Now, you need to go back to the root of your OS X Base System partition and copy the BaseSystem.chunklist and BaseSystem.dmg files from the OS X Install ESD window where you grabbed the Packages folder from. It should take less than a minute to copy over.

 

Step 7: Hide All Files in Finder

Unless you want to see a bunch of grayed out hidden files on your Mac, I'd suggest you rehide them all. To do so, open up Terminal again and do the following two commands.

• defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
• killall Finder

 

After your Finder reloads, the hidden files you once saw before should now be gone. Go ahead and close all of your windows, exit Terminal and Disk Utility, and eject your mounted disks to clean up your mess.

Step 8: Install Yosemite on Your Computer

Now, it's time to test it out. Restart your computer while holding the Option (Alt) key on your keyboard. Wait until the Startup Manager pops up, then select your new OS X Base System volume. Alternatively, you can just hold down the C button while starting up to boot directly into the USB drive.

 

Then just follow the install instructions and wait for your new Yosemite experience. When you come to the Install OS X screen, make sure to select the right disk. I created a new partition on my hard drive called "Yosemite," so I used that.

 

Once it's done installing, you'll get to the Welcome screen, and you should be able to figure it out from there.
