[solved] Apple logo freeze at boot up

[Jack_77]

Hi folks,

 

I used this guide 

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7478-dell-latitude-yosemite-install-guide/?hl=%2Byosemite+%2Bguide

to install Yosemite 10.10.0 on my Dell E6420.

 

Everything went fine but i have problems to boot up from hdd.

When i boot i see two options: Macintosh (my install parttition) and recovery hd

If i just hit enter it freezes on apple logo.

If i boot with flags -v -f it boots up.

How can i fix it to boot up automatically without freezing? 

 

Specs:

Name Intel Core i5 2520M

Codename Sandy Bridge

Specification Intel® Core i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz

Mainboard Model 0K0DNP (0x0000018D - 0x004E6600)

 

Thanks in advance

Guys, please, this section is for myHack installations. As this is not the case here, please move your thread to the E Series support section. Is it that difficult to have a little discipline on the forum at all?

@Herve: Sorry for posting in the wrong section, it´s my first post.

 

@Jake Lo: When i add /System/Library/Kernels/kernel to org.chameleon.boot.plist i get a CPU panic.

                  I figured out that it is only booting when i use -f (ignore caches).

                  Added -f as flag to org.chameleon.boot.plist and now it is bootiong up.

Updated to 10.10.2 by restoring NullCPUPowermanagement.kext, installing the kexts and renamed to NullCPUPowermanagement.kext.bak-->all look good.

 

Thank you for the excellent guide Jake Lo. I tried several guides and yours is the only one working.

 

 

Update:

with the updated kernel for 10.10.2 it is working without setting flag -f and enabling /System/Library/Kernels/kernel under kernel.

Installed the new kexts as well, including.

For boot up glitches install IOGraphicsFamily.kext (you can get this from Jake Lo´s Guide)

 

Thank you again Jake for the excellent guide.
