domini99 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Okay, so here is the full story:I started with installing OS X Lion, iAtkos L2 to a second partition of my harddrive and installed chimera as bootloader.This worked fine, but I wanted Yosemite. So I downloaded yosemite app from the appstore and created the retail USB.I rebooted my PC and booted the USB stick using chimera that was installed on the hard drive. The installation went fine, but there is a problem....Chimera is now erased after installing OS X Yosemite, now I have no bootloader and cannot boot OS X Yosemite. When I start my computer it says "Missing operating system" Using an external USB drive with a very old version of Chameleon I was able to make the computer boot windows, but because the version of Chameleon is so old I can not boot Yosemite with it.Now I have been trying to get a bootloader on USB, but clover only gives boot0 error and all versions of chameleon do not support Yosemite.I need chimera bootloader, but the installer is only available for Mac OS X, and I do not have a working OS X installation. How do I get Yosemite to boot now?Some system information:Motherboard: ixtreme m5741 (packard bell stock motherboard)CPU: Intel Core i3 530 2.93ghz Graphics Card: AMD Sapphire HD6570 2GB ddr34GB ram ddr3 the computer does not have uefi.

Allan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The mosted version of Chameleon gives total support for Yosemite. Download the .zip/.pkg and put into a Pendrive and install in your Hack. About the boot0:error, read this: Boot0: error while using Chameleon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thank you for the very quick response.I have fixed the boot0 error myself already, I will try to bind the latest chameleon to my MBR using EasyBCD.The last time I tried Chameleon just said "mach_kernel" not found. I will try again and report back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Chameleon seems to work, but I have to manually point it to the kernel.I'm having the black screen problem right now so i'm trying to boot without graphics drivers for now and in safe mode. EDIT:Can't seem to get it booting, missing bluetooth controller transport.I'll be trying to fix this myself. Thanks for the help to get my yosemite to atleast try booting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So I downloaded yosemite app from the appstore and created the retail USB. Your "retail USB" had no boot loader on it? When building a USB installer, always put a boot loader on it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Your "retail USB" had no boot loader on it? When building a USB installer, always put a boot loader on it...... Yeah I know, but that didn't work out. I got it all working now. The only thing I need to work out now is sound. My old sound card doesn't have much support on os x.

Allan Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 What is your audio codec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 What is your audio codec? Windows calls it just the high definition audio device Mac OS X calls it intel 5 series 3400 audio I believe it's the ALC670, but I can't say for sure. vendor id: 8086 device id: 3b56 I found a working VoodooHDA kext, it has a bit of static noise in the background but it works so far.

Allan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 For you make sure what is your codec, you can use Ubuntu LiveCD, and run this command in Terminal: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#1 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt or cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt But, if you have sound with VoodooHDA, keep on it! For fix the noise, read here: VoodooHDA - common problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks, I will try with my ubuntu live CD VoodooHDA is working, but I am still going to try to get AppleHDA working as I read about people having success with it in Yosemite. When that doesn't work, I got VoodooHDA to back me up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
