Been attempting to mess with the options in Clover to find what you're referring to.  I see that aicpupm is set to patched, I set Support CPU {+}... still the same reboot.
 
I just don't understand since the OP didn't signify a whole bunch of tweaking, just found the kexts and ran the installer.
 
edit: Could TPM be affecting it?

I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping you can help.  I have an Elite 8300 as well, but no configuration or flag has gotten me even into the installer - I can see the Apple Logo for 1/2 a second, then it reboots. Even with your extra folder. 

 

I've attempted with manually making an installer and using clover, myHack...

 

No matter what I do, I can't get it to install (to the installer screen).

 

When I -v, I have seen that it usually reboots immediately after Device UUID is .... (with Clover).  When using Chameleon (*unifail), it seemingly loads all kexts (Read HFS+ file), then reboots without a visible KP.

 

I've tried Mavericks and Yosemite (*both fresh downloads from Mac App Store).

 

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Sorry, I've been really tied up with a Term Project. To start off, I didn't go through a clean install. I installed Mavericks onto an external HDD using a MacBook Air. Then added the necessary files from there. There were also a few things that I changed in the BIOS in order for everything to work. I'll take some pictures of the BIOS changes for you when I have more free time in the upcoming weeks.

Well I was able to get into my "live install" (a copy of yosemite that worked, cloned to a 60GB usb3 stick)... immediately after I updated the bios to the newest K1.   :x Should've tried that first.

 

Now I can't install (testing flags) but I'm sure with the help already provided, I will be back shortly with a success.

 

Sorry for the massive delay (*Real Life Stuff), but I thank you for your help.

 

Edit: Nope.

 

Broke my Live Install by removing the NV* kexts from the wrong partition.

 

Back to 0.

Would be nice if there was a modded (non-business) bios for this.

 

Even with the bios upgrade, my VGA options are blurred out.  Oddly, the two displayport ports on the back don't work (as far as I can tell)

I'll worry about the ports later as vga/DP is irrelevant if I can't even install.  Stuck on "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI" now.  Tried DSDT=null, ncpi=0x2000/3000, GE=Yes/No, IntelCapriFB=9/10 and mixed variations of the same- no luck

 

Tried the 10.8.5 ACPI rollback in {Other} to no avail.

 

Thoughts?
