[DSMOS has arrived] After months of search...

Hey Guys!

 

I would want to ask you a question that's been bothering me for months.

I am running 10.8.5 on my Lenovo T410 without any trouble, but I want to upgrade to Yosemite.

 

The problem is that every time I try to boot the installation of ANY distro (or even a "clean" USB), the startup is stuck at DSMOS has arrived.

 

Now I know this problem is a Graphics problem. So I deleted all the graphics kexts from the USB key.

 

But it doesn't work! I'm still stuck at DSMOS has arrived :/

 

Deleting the kexts worked for Mountain Lion, but aparently doesn't work with Mavericks and Yosemite.

 

I also tried "GraphicsEnabled=No", -x, etc. Basically every solution present on the web...

 

Do you have any idea?

 

Thanks a lot, I'm waiting for your ideas :)

I don't know anything about using Distro's, but I have been successful building a great hack after a very long learning curve. It takes a lot of searching and assembling information to get a PC to run MacOS X.

 

I am sure you are correct that this Do not Steal Mac OS message ending a -v boot process is about graphics.

 

My suggestion to you is use the retail App Store versions of the installer and Clover boot loader to install MacOS. Learn about DSDT and SSDT.aml files and how they can make MacOS look at your non-Apple hardware as if it is.

As above create a new USB with clover and try that. Also see Chris's Yosemite USB creator thread.

Thanks for your replies guys. I have created my Clover USB Stick based on the retail Yosemite.

 

For the first time ever it boots correctly, so obviously Clover helps... Until it arrives at the graphics part: my screen becomes white with 2 lines in the middle. Still a graphics problem because I hadn't delete my IntelHD* kexts.

 

So I deleted them... but now back to square 1: stuck on DSMOS has arrived :/

 

So you say this would have to do with the DSDT? Could you explain a little bit further, this will be the first time I'll do work with DSDT/SSDT files.

 

Thanks so much for your help, we're moving forward :)

Hey Shaneee, thanks for your advice :)

 

So my base installer is 10.10.3.

 

I downloaded the QECI drivers for 10.10.3 and put them in S/L/E. But it did nothing. Still stuck on DSMOS has arrived.

This is weird since I'm using the QECI drivers for 10.8.5 without any problem...

Shaneee, I booted using -f -v kext-dev-mode=1, but it still didn't work.

spakk I tried to follow the guide you mentioned but the file "OSX_Yosemite_Chameleon V7" isn't available anymore, so I can't follow it.

 

Thanks for your help guys :)

Try downloading the post install folder in that guide and replace your Extra folder with the one in the zip. I notice it includes a DSDT in it. Then boot with -v -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000

@assakaa,

 

it is secondary what Yosemite build you will use for USB Installer

Primary are:

use a current clover bootloader  or Chameleon bootloader.

the right bootargs for your system

the correct drivers for your system

then the system should boot


Edit:

 

and should the system stuck somewhere, then make a picture and upload it here. Because the content of the image can give us much Information about it, then we can helped.

Okay guys, I followed all your instructions, but still no boot.

 

Here's what I did:

  • Created a new USB based on the Retail Yosemite App
  • Installed Clover r3253 on it with options as per this guide http://t410.mcdonnelltech.com/os-x-installation/
    – BootloaderInstall boot0af in MBR
    – CloverEFI > CloverEFI 64-bits SATA
    – Drivers64UEFI > EmuVariableUefi-64
    – Drivers64UEFI > OsxAptioFixDrv-64
    – Drivers64UEFI > PartitionDxe-64
  • Added the DSDT.aml from the how-to spakk mentionned
  • When trying to boot from here (with args kext-dev-mode=1 -v -f GrahpicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000) here's what happens:
    1438964250-img-20150807-172901.jpg
  • Copied the config.plist from Clover USB Pack
  • Added the kexts + HFSPlus.efi in T410 Clover USB Pack from the aforementioned guide.
  • Now we get a white screen with 2 lines in the middle, telling that the graphics have indeed started, but are broken
  • Deleted the IntelHD* kexts from /S/L/E
  • Stuck on DSMOS has arrived
  • Copied the QECI kexts for 10.10.3 to /S/L/E
  • Also stuck on DSMOS has arrived

upload your EXTRA folder as a zip file here.
and please make a picture so that I need not make a headstand to read the contents. As long as I can not make a headstand, I am heart sick ...

Excuse my mistake (have your overflown)
which drivers you have installed in clover and upload your config.plist, must confess that I'm not soooo familiar with clover, but try ...

edit your config.plist :

	<key>Boot</key>
	<dict>
		<key>Arguments</key>
		<string>-v -f kext-dev-mode=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000 WithKext</string>
		

possibly test it with boot flag: cpus=1

boot the system and reports

something is wrong with your graphics card driver, you need this Graphics drivers for Yosemite 10.10.3, download the driver in the appendix (recent versions of your graphics card can be found here)

 

Edit:

and boots as shaneee has described

Intel HD Graphics QECI 10.10.3.zip
