Clickr OButtons Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Apologies in advance for the long post; this is a summary of about a week's activity. I had a very stable Mavericks running on an ASUS P8Z77-V PRO. It was booting with Chameleon from a fusion drive. I needed to upgrade to Yosemite to be able to run the latest Xcode. I used the latest Chameleon to upgrade to Yosemite, but ultimately I had to give up on it because Chameleon would fail on boot with a "Can't find mach_kernel" message and could not get it to go away no matter how much goggle advice I applied to my configuration. I had been meaning to try Clover anyway so I downloaded v2k_r3021 and created a working USB installer. I was able to boot the new Yosemite install, I ran the clover installer on the fusion drive and rebooted. However, If I tried to boot directly from the hard-drive, I would get the Chameleon boot screen instead of the Clover one. Looking at the boot option at the UEFI screen, I notice that the only UEFI device is the Clover USB stick, the HD is listed as BIOS bootable. (Much) more googling ensued to no avail. I went so far as to repartition the drive using DiskUtility (note that I did not re-fusion the drives,) and reinstalling Yosemite. I then did a newfs_msdos of both the SSD and HD EFI patrons and copied the EFI partition from the USB install drive. Still the situation remains: I can boot Yosemite from the fusion drive using the USB installer, but if I boot directly from the hard drive I get the Chameleon screen. An the SSD drive still does not show up as a UEFI bootable device. Obviously I've missed a step or 2 and some vestiges of Chameleon remain. Can someone advise me on what to do next? Thanks.

kvonlinee Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Remove the from the hard drive /boot, with terminal as sudo rm -rf /boot Boot from usb again than install clover to boot drive.

Rampage Dev Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I recommend switching to Clover for Fusion under 10.10 as Cham has issues with Fusion that will take some time to be addressed.
