Gogeta5026 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Once upon a time I had AMD FX-8350 and a GIgabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 running 10.10.5 14F27 / Windows 10 / Linux Mint 17.2 (Each OS on seperate SSD) and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 TI 2047 MB. Everything ran smoothly and had no errors. Was booting with Chameleon. Well... I bought a Intel Core i7-4790K Devil’s Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1150, ASUS GRYPHON Z87 board. I turned on the system after putting it together and everything still boots PERFECTLY. Chameleon came up. Yosemite booted with AMD kernel on Intel machine. Etc. Etc. Etc. MY QUESTION IS THIS, HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN HELP!!! How do I boot/install El Capitan on this machine???? Everytime I try running the install it never reaches that point or I get errors. Is there something in particular I need to add to my Chameleon boot list? Is there some particular file I need to upgrade from Yosemite to El Capitan? I have all El Capitan .DMG updates (tried them all with no success) My Chameleon boot file as of right is: <dict> <key>Default Partition</key> <string>hd(0,3)</string> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>2560x1080x32</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>npci=0x2000 nvda_drv=1 UseKernelCache=Yes PCIRootUID=1</string> <key>SMBIOS</key> <string>hd(0,1)/Extra/SMBios.plist</string> <key>Theme</key> <string>Retro</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> </dict> </plist> Bottom line..... How do I upgrade from 14F27 to El Capitan on my system? I know there's one little thing I'm probably missing, just don't know what. If anybody can help out there.... I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!

spakk Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 upgrade from El Capitan to Yosemite partition, is not advisable, because if something goes wrong with the upgrade, then you have a problem. If you still have a spare partition on your HDD, then it's no problem. then add the Installer app in the application folder, double-click on the app, then start the app, as the destination folder of the installation, you activate the free partition. After restart, then begins the installing.

I use one for working and other 2 for testing newer versions.

Micky1979 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 To see if is your graphics card is the problem as I think (the purpose is to install El Capitan), you can momentary try to remove the Graphics card .. otherwise no Idea. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308220-help-on-4790k-and-asus-gryphon-z87-lga-1150-intel-z87/#findComment-2170685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogeta5026 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I got somewhere by adding some weird code that was in the El Capital Boot CD boot.plist to mine. Pretty much looked at that one and mine / spliced them together / ran what you said. It's installing right now. I'm doing this remotely at the moment. I'll see what happens when I get home.

gengik84 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hello, as already mentioned by Micky1979 ... remove the video card. you have to use the integrated graphics CPU. the bios set it as primary. Set it to 32 Mb. Do not use the VGA cable. You think the graphics card, after installing.
