Tripwire Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hi, I'm trying to install OSX Yosemite on the following setup: Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K Memory: 2x 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport BLS8G3D1609DS1S00 Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 2x 500GB Raid 0 drive (Used for storage Windows 8.1) 1x 250GB Samsung 840 Evo (Windows 8.1 drive) The following will be used as a fusion drive to install OSX Yosemite to 1x 250GB Samsung 850 Evo 1x 1TB Western Digital Green So the first thing I want to do is install OSX Yosemite to a USB Disk (1TB), create a fusiondrive and copy the USB Disk files to the fusiondrive. But I can't even get in the install of OSX Yosemite. I see the Apple logo briefly flash when booting from my USB Install drive (32GB Sandisk Cruzer). I tried using Clover and several guides but I can't seem to get in the installation of OSX Yosemite. I've read alot about patching the bios using PMPatch of UEFIPatch. But also that this isn't needed with Clover. I've used UEFIPatch to patch the bios (didn't flash it yet), here are the results: So should I flash the bios of my motherboard with the patched file? Or are there other settings I can do to install OSX Yosemite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 For installation follow the following guide: http://www.rampagedev.com/?page_id=144 This is a supplement guide for fusion and follow the Clover Bootloader installer sections when you install the bootloader post install. : http://www.rampagedev.com/?page_id=308 Make sure to use the Nvidia Disable Flag when booting! For post install: http://www.rampagedev.com/?page_id=50 With fusion you must install the Clover Config and SSDT onto the USB first and then follow the supplement Fusion Guide. You have a lot of reading before you start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I now have to switch my SATA mode in BIOS to AHCI because of OSX not recognizing any internal drives when on RAID mode. Is there a fix for that or doesn't OSX support bios RAID mode? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Intel RAID via Chipset is not supported. Can you post a IOREG so I can verify the SSDT for the motherboard. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rampage Dev, Maybe I'll remove the RAID Drives and just add another 1TB drive I didn't find an option on the forum to upload the IOREG file so I uploaded it via fileupload.
