Hello guys,

Niresh Yosemite 10.10.1 is on an USB.

My config:

- Motherboard: ASUS M2N68-AM Plus

- Cpu: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4850e

- Ram: 4GB

- Graphic Card: Nvidia GEFORCE GT-630(4GB SDDR3)

With this flag the loading bar stuck at the begin:

/amd

With this flag the loading bar stuck at 40/50%:  

/amd npci=0x2000 

I tried with different flag (/ AMD1, / amd2, / amd64 / amd32, / amd fx) but not even started booting. Only with /amd the boot start. What can i do? I tried also with the  flag -f, -x, -s, GraphicEnabler=No.

ERROR SHOW WITH -s:

I get a similar result as yours, but my motherboard doesnt support ahci mode and im booting from a USB using an AMD kernel 

 

Athlon x4 640 with a GT 640

 

My motherboard is from Nvidia aswell (http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-Slimline-s5000-Desktop-PC-series/4079861/model/4109919/document/c01925534/)

 

my chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

 

many months ago i was using niresh's release on mavericks and it booted to the installer using -amd or -amd64 but im already using a amd kernel and im sure it works fine as im getting only USB problems not kernel problems, ive been looking for kexts to solve this but im limited on what i can do with a free account. im not using a 3.0 port as well.

Ok your probably maybe simple. Try putting your USB stick directly into a USB port at the back of your machine, and make sure it's not usb 3. That fixed it for me. I had the same issue.

Let me know how you go.
