lizbeth Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 its been made clear to me that i need a usb 2.0 port to install... how to get around this? my nuc5i3ryh has only usb 3.0, 4 ports. even with legacy support enabled it doesn't help. who has a good idea?

MacUser2525 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Most likely a UEFI motherboard then so give it a try choosing the EFI option for the stick in your boot menu when starting up it has been my experience that OS X boots fine on USB3 ports at least with my boards that have them. From a quick Google on the model I would be more concerned with getting the 5500 graphics working and if the i3 will be useable as a processor in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizbeth Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 those are all good points. what methods did you use to create your usb stick? how do i chose an efi option for the stick in my boot menu? i guess i have use something different then you have used.

The EFI boot option just shows up for instance just a few hours ago I made bootable backup USB3 drive all that was needed was to install Clover onto the drive and copy my Clover folder from my boot drive to the ESP/EFI partition on the external drive then it showed up as EFI boot option for use in the F12 boot selection menu option of my board. You will need to create a Clover boot stick for it to be seen as EFI option on your machine. Seriously though I highly doubt that video is going to work unless Apple has started using the 5500 in their machines I would check the network card as well Intel devices are not exactly supported well in Hackintosh, i3 possible to get away with better if it was i5 or better really. Edit: If just wanting to get feel for OSX you may want to look into the VMware unlocker on here to see if you can get it going in virtual machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizbeth Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 ok clover it is then. thanks! this guy has had some luck with hd 5500 video on broadwell http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/305823-guide-yosemite-on-2015-x1-carbon-broadwell/ maybe if i ever get a vm working again ill try it!

lizbeth Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 you know i must be doing something wrong. i tried to use clover and it says it can only install on the disk running osx and wont install on the usb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizbeth Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ok I got clover installed on the USB but the OS x won't run. It just keeps rebooting. When I press boot OS X install from install OS x yosemite Error loading kernel cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Mount the usb stick open terminal.app in the utilities folder then. mkdir /tmp/efi sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk?s1 /tmp/efi nano /Volumes/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist Replace the ? with the number you see for the USB stick in a diskutil list command in terminal. Once in the nano with the .plist scroll down until you se agruments add a -v there with the hopefully kext-dev-mode already there or it will never boot Yosemite. Hit the control + x keys to quit hit y key for yes to save the file then try the boot again so you can see where it is failing. Also you can hit the O key when the USB clover is loaded I think it is and do the same -v in the boot arguments there may also want to try a -x in addition to boot in safe mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizbeth Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 i did see an v there already. the O key on boot? will try that too.

MacUser2525 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Christ what a mess the i386 in there will kill it guaranteed OS X is 64bit only now has been for three or four releases now that needs to go that tells it 32bit mode which it does not support. Remove that line entirely and put the -v with the rootless kext-dev line. Probably better idea is to delete that entire clover folder in there then install it on the drive again so you get default config.plist then add the -v if you want. Where did you get that .plist/how did you install the Clover? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizbeth Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I down loaded clover from sourceforge and installed the app in mountain lion VMware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I down loaded clover from sourceforge and installed the app in mountain lion VMware. You should not be getting them options put into that file there should only be the one argument line so you should be checking the config.plist after installing it to make sure none of that is in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizbeth Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Maybe I should try qlover note I think that was on this site I saw that... seriously the file is pretty big... i'll redo the disk and post it here then you can see what else is in error?

lizbeth Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 ok so i tried qlover note and it got as far as displaying root uuid and then reboot no matter what i did for an option. clover isn't giving me the option to enter a command line to input my own boot options.

MacUser2525 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 #Properties no clue where that is coming from I would think a person would edit the file later to put that in you may want to delete that along with the numbers lines beneath it and add a -x to the kext-dev-mode -v line to boot in safe mode to see if that gets you further.

lizbeth Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 well, i edited that file. my vmplare is not so good. everytim i dele a file or istall to usb it crashes. i just install the unlocker but that did help the vmware i had d/l. im trying to mkake one on my own, maybe it will help to do this work. it's trifiling frustrating.
