rossi56 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My build:Core 2 Quad Q6600Asus P5Q Pro (NO integrated graphics) Radeon HD7770I have used the creatediskimage method to put yosemite on a usb and I have then installed Clover onto the USB. I was getting stuck at DSMOS has arrived and am now getting stuck at Sound assertion in AppleHDADriver although I think the DSMOS error is still appearing, just I'm too slow to see it. After about 5 minutes of waiting, the screen turns off. I am guessing this is the installer not recognizing the graphics card. I have tried GraphicsEnabler=no and yes and neither work. Any suggestions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303160-struggling-to-boot-installer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 You need fakesmc kext, may need nullcpu for install. For the graphics just do a safeboot to install it first.

rossi56 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have FakeSMC.kext and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.10Edit: Safe mode gives off a kernel panic Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303160-struggling-to-boot-installer/#findComment-2093085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aww Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 use min kexts: in 10.10 folder (fakesmc, null power, ps2keyboard) use clover 3033, first, if failed, try clover 2975. (may have memory detect error, if so, move ver up) incase of 2795, add 10.10 folder different clover have different problem. (this is not a complaint, or Criticism) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303160-struggling-to-boot-installer/#findComment-2093355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvonlinee Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 You can use the chameleon boot loader to install, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301138-new-usb-installer-os-x-yosemite-chameleon-r2510-v5/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303160-struggling-to-boot-installer/#findComment-2093384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aww Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 on legacy machine, chameleon is a good. Boot Flags, used to work on older chameleon may not work. try min. npci=0x2000 may be needed.

Boot Flags, used to work on older chameleon may not work. try min. npci=0x2000 may be needed. Booting with -x gets rid of DSMOS has arrived and the screen flashes grey a few times then the monitor just turns off. Booting with npci=0x2000 brings back DSMOS has arrived and doing -x and npci=0x2000 also shows dsmos has arrived.

aww Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 you may need,USBBusFix=yes A lot of common problems like this, were auto fixed in clover, I think you should read up on clover loader, and try install again. my may need to try graphic enabler = YES/No etc. List the kexts in /Extra./Extensions ?? min FakeSMC NullCPUPowerManagement May need EVOreboot, patcheRTC (these are not needed in clover) reboot may caused by corrupted cmos, fixed by patchedRTC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303160-struggling-to-boot-installer/#findComment-2093424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aww Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 these are min. FakeSMC.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext VoodooPS2Controller.kext try without the rest, for installation. (can add it on hd) ACPI may not be needed. (My GA-EP43 is same age as your MB, did not need this) If You need hard-reset to reboot, cmos was corrupted, then do need EvoReboot,kext and a patched AppleRTC.kext there 2 version 2510 chameleon out there, try not to use a package like mulit-xxxx. download 2510 from here (download section) find evoreboot patchRTC somewhere, there few versions, out there. I do not use chameleon anymore , except on my AMD machine. (do a little search) black screen, may also means, fail in detect graphics Watch boot for AGPM message, for detection of ati devID or Unknown Please List manufacturer of your ati 7770 ** AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider need to find out why SMCPCI failed quick google find thisI tried fixing DSDT, with only DTGP, T_x rename and SMBUS patches from DSDT Editor, and I see in kernel.log that message "** AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider" is gone, so patching is working Clover DSDT section, you should do some reading. Again do a little reading on clover, and try again with clover. may be a dumb question: did you set Bios set to AHCI Mode Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303160-struggling-to-boot-installer/#findComment-2093429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi56 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 When it got to the black screen using no flags I forgot to turn my computer back off but I took the usb out to my dads office to use his Mac so I could delete the other kexts and I did that, brought the USB back to my computer and plugged it in and the screen woke up and pressing next just showed a spinning ball which I expected since I unplugged the USB but yeah, hopefully this works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303160-struggling-to-boot-installer/#findComment-2093436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
