spakk Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 To successfully install OS X on your machine, it is very important to adjust the BIOS settings correctly for OS X. There are several how-to for your motherboard, use the google search engine, regardless how describe the how-to's, first you need to set the BIOS Settings to default, save the settings and re-start your system, then boot into BIOS, then set the SATA-Mode to AHCI etc. ....google for the correctly bios settings.. use Enoch bootloader ver. r2770 or Clover bootloader or Chameleon bootloader. Your system will work with Yosemite 10.10.5, use the kernel above under download. install the following drivers into folder /Extra/ AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext, ApplePS2Controller.kext, AppleNForceATA.imk64bit.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, RealtekRTL81xx.kext For tweaking you have to look for solutions, here on insaneleymac. try with this bootflag to start OS X: -v -f kext-dev-mode=1 npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No UseKernelCache=No If you have any questions, then use this help toppic: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
