mehsar Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hello, i've read the documentation and prepared the USB; but at the end it hasn't asked me for an extra folder(to add the downloaded bootpack) as prescribed in the documentation. I've tried 2 times but the process just finished and nothing more. Do i copy the bootpack folder to the USB? Regards Mehsar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehsar Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hello, I've tried the -v switch; and it got pass the error, moving on to read files from the USB. All moves on until; it has finished the reading and out of a jiffy the laptop restarts and i dont even have the time to read if there's an error or not. Clue? Thank you in advance Regards Mehsar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 29, 2014 Administrators Share Posted May 29, 2014 If this is Haswell CPU, you need the patched kernel. Do a search for it on the forum, it's been posted several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance Regards Mehsar Try replacing SSDT with this one in Extra, rename it to SSDT.aml and remove the existing one. SSDT-i5-4300u.aml.zip If this is Haswell CPU, you need the patched kernel. Do a search for it on the forum, it's been posted several times. The patched kernel is already in the boot pack in Extra. Boot.plist is configure to load from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehsar Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hello, Thanks for the SSDT, i'm still facing the restart. I'll try to figure whats wrong in BIOS and revert back or even re prepare the USB image Regards Mehsar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
