Hi all -

 

I just purchased the HP Omen 15 gaming notebook and I can't seem to get any of the Yosemite installations to boot via USB.  Upon choosing the USB drive, I'm taken to a secondary bootloader (perhaps non-UEFI?) and the drive disappears from the device list.  I'm not sure where to go from here, but this laptop would be really cool to have OSX running on.

 

Here are my hardware specs:

 

Intel Core i7-4710HQ @ 2.5GHz

8.00GB RAM

GeForce GTX 860M 2GB

Windows 8

All you need, you can find here: [Guide] AIO Guides For Hackintosh

And for create a USB installation: Making a 10.10/10.11 USB Installer /w Clover (UEFI and Legacy) the correct way!

 

One note: The GTX 860M don't work like switched dual-GPU (because is not supported for Hacks). You can use HD 4600.


If you have any errors, take a pic and reporte here.  ;)

Hi so I installed Clover on a Yosemite installation disk, as per the instructions, but I'm having trouble booting into the installer.  After selecting the OS X installer in Clover, I get a black screen with no text, even in verbose mode.

 

I've tried:

 

-v

-v -x

-nv_disable=1

 

I can't even see what's happening, because I don't get any errors!  Can anyone shed light on this?

There's nothing to show, it's just a black screen with no text when I boot with -v

 

I'm trying the USB install creation process again.  I'll post a pic if anything shows on the screen.

OK so after trying a million processes for clover without any errors to go on, I'm moving on to trying the Chameleon bootloader.  I get a little further with that, where it starts loading all of the kexts.  However, once it reaches TMSafetyNet.kext, it reboots.  Attached is a screenshot of the screen just before it resets.

 

This problem occurs no matter what boot flags I've tried so far.  I've tried:

-f -v GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000 PciRootUID=1

and every combination of those flags.  I also tried removing the TMSafetyNet.kext, but to no avail, it still reboots in the same spot.
