DeathSquad Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hello to all, First off I would like to say that I did away with Clover, didn't like it too much in 10.9 and didn't want to use it here either. Chameleon is just as good if not better...People have their opinions. Audio: ALC892 Ethernet: Realtek 8111 Wi-Fi: Native Macbook Card on PCI conversion. Yosemite was not that hard to install on my system as Mavericks was a breeze. I used a 16 GB flash drive created from the mac store app on my 10.9 installation. I wanted to install Windows 8 at the same time on my SSD so I backed up desktop/downloads/documents/applications. If you have time machine I wouldn't worry too much about this. Installer USB in 3.0 port did not work until I installed the kext (post-install). I had to change my SMBIOS.plist in the /Extra folder on the USB to a iMac 14,2. Boot Flags to reach the installer: (Thanks to all the forums I tried everything and only this worked) -v -f GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 PCIRootUID=1 -xcpm Also worked: nv_disable=1 I did get "still waiting for root device" a lot, cured it with -f and without npci=0x2000 don't know how but it worked. Once installed my business partner erased my flash drive on accident so I had to remove my SSD and hook it up to a macbook to install chameleon onto it. Edit* I pulled out one stick of 4 GB today and put an 8 GB stick in giving me 12 GB {RAM}. On boot with my normal boot flags, -v GraphicsEnabler=No -f it kernel panicked right after the sound loaded. Tried some other combinations but would boot without any graphics (monitor flashing no input). Tried -v VBIOS=Yes -f -xcpm and worked like a charm. Graphics Drivers I'm using for the GTX 760 2GB Full QE/CI CUDA Driver: 6.5.18 Web Driver: 343.01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Wow! Nice job, thanx for share with us. 1 tip for you, your machine would be better if you use native Power Management - XCPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSquad Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I removed NullCPU. Works a little better. Thanks for the help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 But, you add -xcpm argument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSquad Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 No I didn't, just added and rebooted. Everything works great and thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Good for you when you able to to that. i don't see mention audio anywhere, also with boot flag -f Mean you have no kernelcache, you boot time take longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSquad Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 It will not boot at all without -f it will hang at pullmode [1] or something like that, im fine with it force checking, Yosemite is worth it, I can post a screenshot of where it hangs if I dont use -f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 That mean your congifuration need to improve somewhere, i have 4 osx yosemite run normal w/o -f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSquad Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Just got it to boot without -f . These are the commands -v VBIOS=Yes -xcpm. My sound is ALC892 which I used the latest VoodooHDA. Ethernet is Realtek 8111 which I enabled with a kext. I guess -f was only needed for the installer USB. Thanks for the info kvonlinee +1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 With the audio, try to go with toleda method, edit DSDT, which you have sound over HDMI, no kext edit, you want onboard, you use alc command from toleda also. What is differ? Voodoohda is low quality sound, other with AppleHDA had better sound. It seem is very difficult at first, but you play with it is simple. Good luck.

DeathSquad Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Unfortunately i have no HDMI on my tv, so im using a dvi to vga cord with an aux cord going into the tv works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 For the onboard you can look to toleda applehda method, he made a terminal bash ready, you can run it with some q&a only. If you don't really care for it, just go with VoodooHDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSquad Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 kvonlinee, I have to admit one downfall of VoodooHDA is that I get this static every time I log in. Then I have to turn down the input gain in the System Preference's panel and enhance the stereo the ones I downloaded for 10.9 was a modified HDAEnabler1.kext and AppleHDASomething.Kext. Do you think Re-Downloading and In-Stalling these kexts again would work? Or can you think of a different solution for 10.10? This is the only thing kinda wrong with my system, thanks for the help. Cheers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Check on toleda alc command, it need to work on pure AppleHDA, non modify it. It is simple, first make sure the codec you motherboard for audio. Second run the command in terminal. If you don't have the pure applehda, you can re-install osx and copy it with name label to a safe place. For me, I used carbon copy clonner on first boot of fresh install, it save my time later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
