domini99 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hey everybody For over a weak I've been trying to get OS X 10.10 running. I used Clover to boot my USB installer, and OS X installed fine. After reboot, I tried to start OS X but it would always throw back a failed boot. Now here's the following: With no aptiofix driver it wouldn't do anything. With OsxAptioFixDrv it would show the root device uuid is xxxxxxx And the line under it is filled with ++++++++++++++++++ With OsxAptioFixDrv2 it would show error allocating pages 0x1130 With OsxLowMemFixDrv it would just freeze at the 4th line with ............... I'm completely out if ideas... No flags seem to help.. Here's my built: Asrock FM2A88M-hd+ AMD Athlon X4 860K @4ghz 2*2GB Ddr3 1333mhz AMD Sapphire HD6570 2gb ddr3 It has Windows 10 installed and boots into Windows 10 fine. Can anybody help me getting this thing to boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppa206 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Nobody? AMD Athlon X4 860K @4ghz? Clover works on Intel processors but not sure if you need to compile your own kernal for AMD.

domini99 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I've got a kernel that is supposed to be compatible. Thanks for the reply, thought nobody would share love for AMD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppa206 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Well those words, supposed to be compatible, would make me nervous. All Apple computers are based on Intel processors,. Try searching around for someone who has a build identical to yours and see what they are running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try searching around for someone who has a build identical to yours and see what they are running.There has been luck with sorta like CPU's as mine, (not 860k but 840k for example) and I've used their kernel. But I've never had any luck with Clover. I've tried all kinds of different Intel processors, and even PC's that would boot fine with another boot loader would give the failed to allocate error on clover. I can't get any legacy boot loader to start on my PC, so I am forced to use an UEFI based boot loader, but Clover just won't work. Chimera is my personal favourite as it always works for me, but I can't install it as I have no running OS X machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domini99 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 For this PC I don't know, as I cannot create a chameleon or chimera USB stick because I have no Macintosh system running, and I don't know anybody who has a mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domini99 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 No sht...... Like I said: I can only create a Clover USB stick, but can't create chimera or chameleon as they always end up incompatible with uefi or uefi-csm. And Clover won't work.

Slice Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 There must be a way to boot legacy bootloader. How did you propose to run Windows XP which is legacy only? Or Linux, FreeBSD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 There must be a way to boot legacy bootloader. How did you propose to run Windows XP which is legacy only? Or Linux, FreeBSD?I'm not going to run Windows XP, heck.My motherboard doesn't even support it, I run Windows 10. And I'm not interested in Linux so I don't care about that. Getting the legacy bootloader to boot might not be the issue, but creating the bootloader... I haven't found a way yet to create a chimera bootloader USB on Windows.

Slice Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It is not your wish. You claim that this motherboard can't boot in legacy mode? Is there CSM in BIOS? Is there a boot option to start from DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 It is not your wish. You claim that this motherboard can't boot in legacy mode? Is there CSM in BIOS? Is there a boot option to start from DVD? The BIOS shows no CSM option whatsoever, the motherboard however IS capable of booting legacy OS, as it can boot Windows 7 from another hard drive. (It automatically detects whether a drive is UEFI or not) But read again please: the issue is not my motherboard not booting legacy, because it does that just fine, but my issue is that I am unable to create a USB drive with any other boot loader except of Clover, as all those tools are created only for Mac OS X, and I do not have access to a Mac OS X running machine.

domini99 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 BDUtility.exe make Clover bootFlash with MACOSX distr under Windows It only makes Clover USB drives, and that is exactly what I can already do. And Clover won't work. It doesn't make Chimera, or Chameleon drives.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I will speak only about Clover and it must work if Ch* bootloader can work because legacy boot is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't get around this "root device uuid is xxxx-xxxx-etc" Or error allocating pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Use Clover BiosBlockIO. There can't be "error allocate pages" with legacy boot. It's just impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'll try. My PC has no way to force either UEFI or Legacy, it just guesses by itself. Need to find a way to force it to boot Legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Nah, after trying for days but clover won't boot in Legacy. I think I'll just try to find another Mac and create an installer from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
