james341 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hello I've installed Yosemite with clover usb method and everything went fine and everything is working well. The installation done on a pre fusion drive I've made contain an SSD and HDD. In some strange way I can only boot with the Clover USB and without it I'm getting boot0 error : I have a gigabyte GA-H87M-HD3 motherboard Aldo I succeed installing Yosemite I'm a newbie in this Hackintush thing and I've search all over the web for a solution and tried a lot of things but still stuck in the same point. I'm not sure if it's because I've installed the system on a fusion drive or not. I hope I can find here the solution I need to fix this boot issue . Last thing - even if I boot with F12 to choose the right drive I'm still getting the same result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1111 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You can try this boot with the usb (Clover Installer) on the Yosemite Installation go to disk utility and clic to your partition drive you have Installe . and clic Unmount see this picture Now quit the disk Utility and open the terminal Utility and type this dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2 quit the terminal and quit the Yosemite Installation , reboot to your HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james341 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks for your help - I've done what you said but getting : no such file or directory ....I've added some screen shots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpenguin Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Your disk probably isn't on disk0s2, in disk utility- click 'info' before you unmount. Look for the disk identifier. Though, using clover bypassed the boot0 error for me (It's probably in your terminal screenie too, I just can't read it) If it still errors out, please post 'ls /usr/standalone/i386' You can probably get a boot1h file (if missing) from running your bootloaders install file through http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/ From the forum we don't talk about here With disk drives getting larger and larger manufacturers have had to change the default block size from 512 bytes to 4,096 bytes. These new drives are known as "Advanced Format" or 4K drives. Initially this was only seen on drives larger than 1 TB but will soon be on all drives. As part of this change there is an issue with OS X writing the boot helper code to these drives when booted from the drive. Because of this they require a workaround to boot on their own.

james341 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 i think i found out what is the problem : This is the steps i did : 1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal 2. Type: diskutil list and locate your system drive's EFI partition. It will be under IDENTIFIER. Be sure to use the correct one. 3. Type the following, enter password and hit enter: sudo newfs_msdos -v EFI -F 32 /dev/rdisk0s1 4. Install Clover to Yosemite with the following Custom settings: now what i found out that after this install my EFI partition is empty Aldo i've installed Clover - this is Strange , why is that? the installation of clover went fine but it looks like it did't copy nothing to the EFI partition. Why is that? is there a way i can copy the things from the Clover USB to the EFI partition manually ? Update 1 : Ok i found a solution - I took an empty USB drive and format it to fat32 and than install clover to this USB . after that i mount my EFI partition and copy all the directory from the USB to the EFI partition - and boot - everything worked like a charm !!!!!!
