yves030 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi, Happy new year to all of you and a big thanks for all the efforts and guides you folkswrite! I am trying to build a Yosemite Hackintosh for days now and almost giving up... I have read so many guides, tried so many methods unifail, clover and so on, but nothing works in the end as described. With the method described here ( https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7478-dell-latitude-yosemite-install-guide/&do=findComment&comment=45213 ) I got "most success"..: I followed each step, installed the haswell kernel and the bootpack accordingly... The Laptop is booting from the USB Stick and seems to install Yosemite on "Macintosh SSD".. (takes about 18 minutes) After Installation, the System wants to be restarted... I boot again via USB and see, that my Macintosh SSD is nowmarked as RAID.... That seems to be the reason, why I can´t get to Post-Installation... the Installer always starts from thebeginning... so following the guide I start Terminal first and revert the drive from RAID and reboot. Now (booting fromUSB again, Chameleon shows Macintosh SSD as a normal drive... but I can´t boot that partitions anyways.. the Systemreboots before entering the graphic mode... no apple logo, no progress bar... the last kext that becomes loaded is TMSafetyNet...I tried trillions of bootflags in combination... always the same... the settings in the bios seem also correct to me... I trieddifferent changes... all with no luck. I´d gladly read some hints from other E7240 users with i74600u CPU and HD4400 Graphic concerning their BIOS settings orInstallation-Procedures... thanks for any help, yves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2015 SSD or HDD mode is set in BIOS, not in Terminal! So go back into your BIOS settings, load default settings, then set the disk mode to AHCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2015 you have to replace or patch the kernel as well on the new install if not you get the issue you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2015 Patched kernel for 10.10/10.10.1 and process to build a Yosemite USB installer can be found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yves030 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi, thanks for the suggestions... @hervé: The SATA Mode is set to AHCI in BIOS... but after Installation the icon in the chameleon bootloader looks not like the big white X´ed circle but is alionhead with the word RAID in it... to revert it from raid, I have to go to terminal and issue diskutil cs revert #UUID#... after that, the icon is "normal"... @bronxteck: wtf... I thought, the kernel in System/Library/Kernels is the patched one... (same size). If the Installer USB Stick contains the patched kernel... how could the unpatched kernel go to the destination disk?I copied the patched kernel under new name to /S/L/K and booted, telling to use the other kernel... that worked! Although this step is mentioned in theguide, I was not aware of this "importantness"... I compared the file by size and thought it was the patched one... my fault... thank you! So, after 5 really hard days of trying around I now have a almost fully working HackbookAir,,, with sound, graphics, lan...I now have to get WLAN running and check iMessage and co. WLAN will be impossible for me I think as I have an Intel AC7260 card... maybe I´ll replace it with a hackintosh compatible version. For other readers with a config like mine: I followed the guide here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7478-dell-latitude-yosemite-install-guide/ Especially Post #4 is important. Dont forget to use the patched kernel on the target! Diffuculties i faced during installation on MY System: - although SATA mode was set to AHCI and the target drive was properly partitioned and formatted (GUID, Mac journalled)tha drive had to be reverted from RAID Mode after installation (its mentioned in the guide) - to properly boot into post-installation I needed the flags -f IntelAzulFB=12 - to skip the bluetooth keyboard detection progress, press spacebar - after all I had to reinstall chameleon... the system just did not want to boot from the harddisk... with the usb stick and selecting the hdd afterwardsbooting was no problem, but I wanted to be able to boot without USB-Stick... so I just had to reinstall chameleon on the target device. Post#4 tells to patch the kernel to fix a problem with the preview app... this was not necessary for me, because I have no problems with this appor the patched kernel you can download there does already contain this fix. So finally its time to say thank you guys again, I really appreciate your work and helpfulness (is this a correct word? excuse my bad english...) So I just donated to tonycrapx86 for the unifail and to the osxlatitude-forum for the great guide and help. keep on, yves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2015 yeah the apple installer always puts in a fresh kernel. it does not recycle the one on the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patched Kernel is only to fix the early reboot loop issue. You still need to patch libCLVMIGILPlugin to fix the preview/quick look crash issue.

yves030 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 @Jake Lo: ok, I´ll keep that i mind and patch the lib. as soon as I realize problems with the preview... the few tests I did showed no problems...?? (anything I can do, to "see / force" the app crashing?) Currently I am thinking about how to preserve the system to become corrupted after an update or find a way to fully backup and restorethe System... some kind like boot (a hfs+ capable if necessary at all) linux from usb and mirror the partitions... any recommendations? thanks, yves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 5, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2015 you can use disk utility app. and restore to another media or partition. theres also superduper and ccc. none will backup the bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
