lemmyc Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I installed Yosemite using the guide here : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301138-new-usb-installer-os-x-yosemite-chameleon-r2437/ All is well except booting - I have to boot using the usb installer. If I set my new Yosemite drive as the first bootable drive in the bios, it is ignored (no messages) and the next available drive boots instead. What I've tried so far: Setting Start Disk to the Yosemite drive using the built-in Mac tool Start Disk. Setting partition active on Yosemite drive. Installing most recent chameleon (v2.3 r2437) on new Yosemite drive. Rebuilding kext caches. Setup: Gigabyte EX58-UD5 i7 2.67GHz 6GB RAM GeForce 9800GT 512MB SSD Boot drive I am using a DSDT.aml file which I found for my motherboard, which fixes a problem with the resetting of CMOS. That worked fine on Mavericks - I don't know if it needs to be updated for Yosemite. org.chameleon.Boot.plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict><key>DSDT</key><string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string><key>EthernetBuiltIn</key><string>Yes</string><key>Graphics Mode</key><string>1900x1200x32</string><key>GraphicsEnabler</key><string>Yes</string><key>Kernel Flags</key><string>kext-dev-mode=1</string><key>PciRoot</key><string>1</string><key>ShowInfo</key><string>Yes</string><key>Theme</key><string>Choose_Your_OS</string><key>Timeout</key><string>4</string> <key>UseKernelCache</key><string>Yes</string></dict></plist> Any suggestions - should I be looking at Clover instead?Or is this just a simpler problem to do with making my boot drive properly active?

lemmyc Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Ok, it's a boot0 error problem. The error messages were going past too quickly for me to see them. I tried the solution of doing dd with boot1h from a usb installer to the unmounted Yosemite partition, but it didn't work. Any recommendations on how to proceed?
