Julio Bernardo Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 As you know, I've tried so much things options to boot my Yosemite. I achieved to install it on HFS+ partition, created by MacDrive, but after this, my system is not starts. Firstly it was rebooting loop. Jake Lo suggested me to change my SSD kernel (where Yosemite was installed) by the USB stick (Chameleon Bootable). Well, it does work partially. It stops rebooting loop, but I'm still stuck, it's because the new issue is: STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE. Furthermore, last but one line shows me "USBMSC Identifier (non-unique)..." as you know see bellow: Some hints have been given by the hacintoshers here, but unfortunatelly I didn't still get success. Unplug any USB devices, just keeping the USB Installer, mouse and keyboard. No success. Try resetting bios to default, apply and then set SATA Operations to AHCI. No success. Jake Lo, on 01 Dec 2014 - 5:50 PM, said: Problem is it's not detecting your internal SSD. I use an external drive for installer too and don't have a problem, so it's not your installer. try this kext-dev-mode=1 -v -f No success. Any idea?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 2, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 2, 2014 have you added genericusb3.kext to your kext folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julio Bernardo Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 No. Should I put it on Extra/Extensions in USB bootable only or also in SSD? Remembering that I'm using Chameleon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2014 The bootpack for the 9020 has the GenericUSBXHCI already. Can you boot to the USB Installer, launch terminal and run this > ls /Volumes/"macintosh SSD"/Extra/Extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 3, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2014 what is that sle thats showing there? and why does it have a battery manager kext if it's a desktop? you can probably do away with the ps2 kext if it does not have a ps2 port or your not using a ps2 keyboard.

Julio Bernardo Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ok! So, what exactly can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 3, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2014 im not sure i guess look at what sle is if it's a folder with more kexts then they probably belong in SLE not in Extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 3, 2014 Kexts in SLE folder are patched for AICPUPM, audio, Trim Enabler, and second boot screen fix. Only needed to be install to S/L/E after system is booted. I agreed ACPIBatteryManager and ApplePS2Controller are not needed, but that don't explain why he's getting "Still waiting for root device" error when BIOS is already set to AHCI and GenericUSBXHCI is added. @Julio, can you slave the drive to a Mac system and install Chameleon to the OS X partition so you don't need to boot with the USB Installer?

Julio Bernardo Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 @Jake, i'm not sure if i understood... Do you want that i use a new slave hard disk to make a new installation of Yosemite with Chameleon bootloader? I don't know if it helps, but primary SO Dell 9020 is Windows 8.1 and i do not changed it. I just created with MacDrive (running under Windows 8.1) a HFS+ partition. So, i achieved to install Mac on this partition, but never, never could boot with it. Always the message was and still is "Still For Waiting Root Device".
