evon Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I see. When I boot with the USB drive, it does not give me the option to select my hard disk. It only gives me the option to install yosemite and nothing else. Thanks for responding so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2015 Make sure you have AHCI enabled in BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evon Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yes it's enabled. Any other options I should check for? Should I reinstall Chameleon to the USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evon Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Ok so I pressed f10 so it would refresh the devices and the HD popped up. However, when I choose it to load I keep getting EB OS read error: Controller or device error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evon Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I added the -v -f flags this time and now it says that it can't find the /System/Library/Kernels/Kernel file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evon Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Both #20 has instructions for those who wan to upgrade from Maverick. I'm doing a fresh install however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not sure why you're installing boot loader to the USB again if it's already working. No, the instruction on #20 is not for an upgrade. On fresh build, your installed drive will not have the Extra folder with all the kexts and SSDT/DSDT files and there's also no boot loader. You need to boot with the USB installer which has the boot loader, thens select the Installed drive. Copy the /Extra folder to the Installed drive and then install the Chameleon boot loader to the installed drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evon Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I see what you mean now. I actually decided to start everything over again so I created a new USB. Now I get "The operation couldn't be completed. Undefined error: 0" during the installation. Both BaseSystem.dmg and BaseSystem.chunklist are on the USB so I'm not too sure what else to check.
