tzeus Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hello all! I have a dumb question. Perhaps not so dumb. I am trying to install Yosemite, following the instructions in the Vanilla All In One(Updated for YOSEMITE) guide. I try to install on a Lenovo Thinkpad T420. I created the usb drive, but the laptop is not booting from it. IT only shows a brief "_" sign, for like a fraction of a second, and then i get to the boot device selection screen(I disabled all other booting devices on purpose). The same usb drive works on another system. In BIOS i can boot from both Legacy or UEFI. The only way i was able to boot was by using Clover as a bootloader, but i want to follow this guide to the letter. AHCI mode is selected. What else can i do? Where is the problem? Thanks for all the hard work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
