OneBlueSky Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hello everyone! I have followed the instructions posted in several threads here, and get to a certain point with no trouble at all. However I am new to clover, and need some help troubleshooting a problem booting from the USB drive. It gets to a certain point, and becomes stuck on "Root Device uuid is" followed by a series of numbers and letters. I have googled high and low, and found several people with this problem across several versions of Clover/OS X... Trouble is none of the solutions found solved my problem. Probably missing something very simple, and would appreciate any help learning how to troubleshoot this, thanks!

OneBlueSky Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 What guide did you follow and what ver. of Clover? Yours actually, most recently! But I tried a few others with the same result.

OneBlueSky Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Found a few other posts about this issue from the last several years, however none of the fixes either work, or apply. Any ideas?

iFIRE Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 can be more easy if you said that version of OS X you try to install , and that kexts you using, how you make the installer, a photo from the error is always useful to request help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298564-need-a-little-help-troubleshooting/#findComment-2026771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBlueSky Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 OS X 10.10 (It's why I asked in this forum, hope it's the right place?) Currently working from this guide, though I've tried all on here and the results are the same - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298521-easy-yosemite-1010-usb-installer/ FakeSMC.kext Photo Thanks in advance Got a little farther finally, by just randomly adding slide=0 (didn't help before so I guess that wasn't it), and npci=0x2000 which brought me to here, and it just hangs here and keeps repeating the last dialogue.

iFIRE Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Boot USB to Clover, highlight your Install USB, hit the spacebar, choose “with injected kext” try this flag: kext-dev-mode=1 -f -v -x GraphicsEnabler=No dart=0 npci=0x2000 or 3000 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298564-need-a-little-help-troubleshooting/#findComment-2026844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBlueSky Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Boot USB to Clover, highlight your Install USB, hit the spacebar, choose “with injected kext” try this flag: kext-dev-mode=1 -f -v -x GraphicsEnabler=No dart=0 npci=0x2000 or 3000 I actually got it past this point finally, it's now getting to a point where it's stuck on a white screen with the spinning beach ball. All I had to do was add npci=0x2000 and it fixed the initial issues. Will try that flag now though!
