max4143 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hello guys! Lately I was once again trying to get OS X running on my PC (specs below), last Night I cleaned up the whole drive and installed on my SSD Windows 8.1 (should be kept for gaming and such). Now I'd like to install on a 500GB Drive my OS X, which worked successfully using MyHack. But after the Installation I couldn't boot up without using -x, nor I couldn't boot using the "build-in"-bootloader that comes with Ozmosis. I heard there is some new boot loader, that also allows you to use bootcamp and such, called Clover? I was following the Tutorial of the official Clover site, but it didn't worked. It just won't boot, nor show me anything at all. Since I do not own, a real Mac (nor another Hackingtosh) I am limited with using the iMac at work. (Mavericks) and I wanna get the things prepared, in case something doesn't work. So my main Question basically is: Can I setup an normal OS X Installer using myHack (including the myHack's boot loaders) on an 8GB Pen drive, and Clover (Only Clover!) on an 4GB Pen Drive, in case the myHack one won't work, or I can boot the Hardrive-OS X with Clover after the Installation? If so, on what I should look for? Clover is still pretty new to me, so it'll also be really appreciated if somebody can give me a bit more explanation, or research links to read. Greetings, Max. Specs: Gigabyte Z77-D3H (rev. 1.0) Intel i7 @ 3.90GHz Nvidia GTX660 - the rest is unimportant - I posted in the wrong section, right?

falanx Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You should only use Clover for UEFI, because it's just better. Ozmosis should work too. But keep in my mind that you need to boot with -x after a successful installation to set up your username and boot successfully into OS X, then you have to install your kexts and after that you can boot without -x. With clover you can avoid this by injecting kexts. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300500-clover-stick-only-mavericks-installation/#findComment-2055149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
max4143 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks falanx, but Ozmosis is also for UEFI, right? I'll try getting all my kexts and install them after work, I sign when there is something new!

HBP Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 my recommendation, with your board, would be to use a precompiled ozmosis Bios for your board. the biggest benefit is that the boot loader will always work and you can store your Kexts under the EFI partition /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Quo/Darwin/Extensions/Common any changes to your DSDT, is stored in EFI/Quo/ACPI/Load STLVNUB's list of variables and how to change them for this type of booting. Ozmosis Bios for your Board, precompiled HBP PS, remember you need to add kext-dev-mode=1 in the boot args to make any unsigned kexts load, that includes sound and networking.
