exactly what SiS chipset do you have, and what SiS Ethernet Adaptor? I also have a SiS chipset, but no luck in native until now (That means havent tried either 1.4.3 nor 1.4.4 nor 1.4.5 yet)

 

Any info would be useful,

 

thanks and congratz on your working system :blink:

Sis 648 should work but without UDMA. I tried to hack & compile some drivers for the sis chipset, but never managed to make them work. So it works, but HDD is rather slow...

Apparently USB HD should do the trick and boot OSX without still waiting for device error. Ive also got SIS 760 chipset.Hopefully there will be kext released out soon.

I have the Asus N90SC with SiS M671DX  chipset and i have a Yosemite USB boot stick, MacPwn, and it boots, but i cannot make it so ir recognize my harddisk. No ahci in bios.

I tried Mulibeast: 3rd party SATA and Intel Generic AHCI Sata and i tried several other IoAtaFamilt.kext drivers.

 

So problem is to find the right kext to see my Sata harddisk, no AHCI in bios. Latest bios installed 2.05

No succes so far, but i have a bootable installer
