Hi Jake,

I was going to use Chameleon to install OSX on my E6220 as you posted here:
http://forum.osxlati...ide/#entry45213
 

 

On step 3,

11. When Chameleon boot screen is visible, choose Macintosh SSD or your existing Install drive with -v -f flags

but the screen shows "can't find /system/library/Kernels/Kernel

I checked the kernel is there.

 

BTW, the Yosemite icon has RAID inside.

 

Please could you guide?

Thanks very much!

Corydon

 

1st off, get rid of chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) and use Chameleon.

2nd, you probably don't have a DSDT as it's not mentioned in your boot.plist.

See my guide here and files in post # 2.

Ok, that makes sense as I'm seeing that on some of my builds too. Here's the fix.

Boot with the USB installer, open up terminal and enter the following command:

 

diskutil cs list  

you see something like below. Note the UUID in red and Revertible = Yes

run diskutil cs revert UUID> , you can copy and paste the UUID

reboot when finish. Boot with USB and select your Installed drive to complete your install

Today progress

1.  Bootup from HDD

     After applied above, there is a recovery HD being added.   System can boot up with -v -f flags.  

2.  Wifi enabled

     First: Rebanding BCM943225HMB, following    http://www.osxlatitude.com/rebranding-broadcom-802-11abgn-cards-as-airport-extreme/

     Then, copy" IO80211Family.kext" form / System/Library/Extensions

               find "Plugin folder" inside  IO80211Family.kext  using Share Package Contents

               You will find 

                          AirportBcm4331.kext--------- adding pci14e4,4357 in info.plist and save

                          AirportBcm4360.kext----------adding pci14e4,4357 in info.plist and save

                          AppleAirportBcm43224.kext-----adding pc14e4,4322 in info.plist and save. I guess this step is irrelevant. but anyway I keep it there.

 

               Copy edited "IO80211Family.kext" back to /System/Library/Extensions

 

       reboot.

Wow.... really excited!

 

Pending issue.

1. Can't bootup without -v-f flags.  The boot up process stops in the middle of black apple screen.

2. Language input hotkey. In MACbook it is Command+Space. I tired windows + space, it doesn't work.

 

Jake, please help!

 

Thanks!

did you run this after the edits?

 

       sudo chmod -R 755 /S*/L*/E*

      sudo chown -R 0:0 /S*/L*/E* 

      sudo touch /S*/L*/E*

      sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

Yes. I did.

 

Do you think  i need to run again?

 

If so, should I use the USB for bootup, or I can run directly in Macintosh SSD?

 

Thanks!

[Jake Lo]

run from your running OS X.

I run again. But didn't improve.

 

Please guide!

[Jake Lo]

boot with just -v to see where it hangs
