meagain Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi, I've been attempting to install OSX on a Bay Trail tablet, a Linx 7, which I've installed a custom BIOS for which supports 64bit EFI. I know that basically nothing will work but ideally I'd like to see it boot to installation. I've tried: BDUtility to install Clover and download the HDRecovery for 10.10. After using FakeCPUID and changing the bus speed, I reached a power management panic. I installed NullIntelPowerManagement and the boot went further - until it reached the "still waiting for root device screen". I believe that my install USB is not being detected - the BIOS forces USB 3.0 (Intel) and I have to use a USB-OTG cable to convert the female microUSB port to a full sized USB port. I've been able to boot Ubuntu, Android, Windows etc like this. I believe this is down to a lack of a USB driver. I've tried the generic ones with no luck. Copying the HDRecovery to the internal MMC doesn't have any effect either - even when copying Clover to the EFI too it can't detect the internal storage. This is not SATA - it's, according to the BIOS, a Hynix chip connected via PCI / AHCI (option I'm given, neither works). It looks as if the system would boot if I could get it to pick up the install media, but neither of the two install options work. I've also tried: Yosemite Zone 10.10 - ACPI error, can't get past it BDUtility Mavericks / El Capitan - ACPI error, can't get past it BDUtility Lion - same Snow Leopard - not deteced by Clover I know that even if this does boot there's no way it will ever detect the internal MMC, however I could possibly install to a USB and run it off that. The only thing is getting the USB chipset detected. There's a huge amount of USB options in the BIOS, however changing some of them disables USB completely. Luckily my BIOS supports the touchscreen so I can change the setting back however. The tablet is dual boot at the moment - the firmware I'm using. One side is Android, with a 64bit EFI BIOS and unlocked options, the other side is Windows, with a 64bit EFI and locked BIOS. There's a selection screen on boot. I'm using the Android side currently - both have access to the internal MMC. Is there any way I can get the USB controller detected?

Thanks, - meagain There is a one off kernel out for Mavericks that works with a Baytrail cpu in this thread. Not sure if this will solve your issues, but to me it pointing out the possibility of it not being just a USB problem. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301132-cannot-reach-installation-on-dell-inspiron-11-3147/page-1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/311127-bay-trail-hackintosh/#findComment-2268581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
