Waa Waa Waa Waaaaaaaaaa

 

Can't get past Step 2.

 

Failed to start erase of disk due to error (-9999, 0)

A error occurred erasing the disk.

 

Running in a Snow Leopard VM (VirtualBox) with 10.6.8 Combo Update loaded.

 

Any advice?

SnowLeopard != Yosemite

I have the 'Install OS X Yosemite.app' in my Snow Leopard Application folder. I downloaded the update from the app store.

This guide works with pretty much any UEFI Clover install

I can't get it to install Yosemite.  Maybe because I didn't do step5?  Not sure what to do there.  Giving me boot errors at the very beginning.

As Step 5 states its the hardest part, you need to research what settings you need for your specific system, nothing I can do for you, that is something you need to do on own on

Good guide, works great.

Had to use MBR on the USB Yosemite install pendrive to get it to boot on a X58A-UD3R

This guide worked extremely for me, and I had not a issue using it.

 

I've tried most "1-Click" USB creation tools for Hackintosh (excluding tonymac <-- censor pls), and I must admit, this is the most quick and uncomplicated method I have seen yet!

 

Thank you, Pavo.

Hey, thanks for the guide.

 

I tried to install Yosemite via the Legacy method on a fresh SSD. It worked out until the first reboot.

I can't boot anything, not OSX and not Clover from USB.

 

I'm using a X58 motherboard from Gigabyte and a Nvidia graphics card.

Maybe I have to change something on the USB to make Clover boot? If I remove the SSD from the System I can boot into Clover without a problem.

 

Do you have any hints? I completed steps 1 to 5. On step 5 I adjusted the start arguments with nv_disable=1 and -v

 

Edit

 

I just used FakeSMC.kext and nothing else.

You've formatted your Penboot like GUID Partition Table?
