TheEmoEmu Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi everyone, I have an Acer V3-572PG (i5-4210U, 16GB RAM, 840M and HD4400 in Optimus - with only the Intel graphics working in OSX)that was running Yosemite 10.10.4, fully stable, with everything but the WiFi and brightness control working fine. I however, in all of my wisdom, thought that it would be a good idea to do a full reinstall since I wanted to reinstall windows and thought "Why not do a clean install on both OS's?" - I created a USB installer for 10.10.5 since I lost my old 10.10.4 USB and am now trying to boot off it since I deleted my OSX partition on my SSD. I am not getting past the verbose boot output though - it is sticking at a particular point. I am attaching the pictures of the verbose output for a variety of boot flags that I have tried. By the way, I'm using Clover UEFI, r3270. Currently I am stumped - what is going on - I could boot a 10.10.4 installer fine (which was how I initially installed OSX) Does anyone have any ideas as to what to do to try and resolve this issue? (Attached is an Imgur album due to the size of the images) http://imgur.com/a/YhKkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEmoEmu Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 You need to use nv_disable=1. I have tried with that flag both on it's own and in conjunction with some others and it hasn't worked - as shown in the screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The images you provide show quite clearly that nv_disable=1 was not used. Beyond that, you may have other issues with your configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a correct bootloader configuration for your hardware. See here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmoEmu Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 You need a correct bootloader configuration for your hardware. See here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config I used the one for the HD4400 and made the modifications necessary (Audio ID injection, kext patches changes, etc) and I still can't boot. http://imgur.com/iiKCq0v I also tried the config plist from my working 10.10.4 install and I can't boot with that either.

Your image is not readable. Note that it is not advised to change anything. The goal is to boot the installer, not have a fully working system. Audio, kexts patching, etc can all wait until later. When booting the installer, "less is more." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmoEmu Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Your image is not readable. So I need to re-create the installer USB? I might as well wait till tomorrow for El Capitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RehabMan Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 So I need to re-create the installer USB? I have no idea. Nothing can be discerned from the image(photo) you provided. It is too blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
