mrjayviper Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I cannot find a comprehensive guide on how to create a USB installer and how to install OS X on an AMD-based system? I have some knowledge of what to do since I've rolled my own installers on Mavericks but I'm not sure which kexts are needed and what boot loaders are required (I've seen discussion on a forked chameleon by ermac which I believe would work on AMD). I've tried using pandora to create the USB installer but unsure which configuration is for AMD-based system (see screenshot)? Thanks very much!

Mr. Xtreme Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well here just get Bronya RC6/7 Kernel and manually make I USB drive with the "Basesytem DMG" method and make a folder named "Kernels" (without the quotes) in /System/Library and rename your kernel to "kernel" (without the quotes) and put it in you kernel folder and install chameleon and voila.

I know I have to include several kexts (e.g. fakesmc and etc) with Mavericks.

Mr. Xtreme Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 No fakesmc for Bronya's kernel because its already embedded in the kernel. but you will need any audio kexts ect. to make the other hardware work. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306118-how-to-install-yosemite-on-amd/#findComment-2137716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
