a219810 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm trying to install OS X Yosemite on my workstation using Clover UEFI as the bootloader. I used this guide to create the USB installer: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/305255-making-a-yosemite-usb-installer-w-clover-uefi-and-legacythe-correct-way/ The problem is when I'm setting up the UEFI BIOS to boot from the USB. I cannot navigate through the EFI partition on the USB stick to select the "CLOVERX64.efi" file to add to my boot options. I get these weird font errors when I try: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/luchxh7437m9ylg/AAA1940HujKI8d_NQElzKMjqa?dl=0 I was able to get the UEFI BIOS to navigate the EFI partition on my hard drive to select the "Windows" .EFI file and that boots just fine. Any idea why I can't select the one on the USB installer? WORKING! I'm using Chameleon for the time being since it's easier.

EDIT1 6/6/2015: I'm attempting Mavericks for now using the myHack method and the "Extra" folder from page 2 of this thread: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5558-extra-folder-for-m4600-setup-for-os-x-mavericks-setup/page-2&do=findComment&comment=50393 I have the same hardware configuration as thanhphongasd. I have Optimus disabled. Booting with -v -f -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes results in a black screen after "[iOBluetoothHCIController][start] -- completed". EDIT2 6/6/2015 *Extracted DSDT and SSDT in Ubuntu. *Attached raw DSDT/SSDTs, decompiled DSDT/SSDTs, and edited DSDT/SSDTs. See edit_log.rtf for info. *I did not apply any patches. EDIT3 6/7/2015 *Changed Clover on my Yosemite Insaller from UEFI to Legacy and now it properly loads. *Encountered black screen after [iOBluetoothHCIController][start] -- completed From reading around the forums this seems to be a video card issue. Disabling nvidia injection (from Clover Option menu) and booting with nv_disable=1 and nvda_drv=1 args works! But the graphical installer is extremely buggy in terms of animations. Will report back once I get this installed. EDIT4 6/7/2015 No internal hard disks are detected with Disk Utility using Clover... no idea at this point. So in the Dell BIOS, the SATA option "Raid On" is supposed to support both RAID and AHCI. As it turns out, switching "Raid On" fixes the disk issue and now everything shows up under Disk Utility. I have switched Raid On to AHCI before in the past and that always borked my Windows installation. Oh well. I'll fix it later. >_> EDIT5 6/7/2015 Fixed the Raid to AHCI switch on Windows. Yosemite installed and boots up with full QE/CI on Quadro 1000M with EnableBacklight=Yes GraphicsEnabler=Yes flags. Only 1GB of VRAM shows up (out of the 2GB) but that may be a cosmetic issue. I'm not too concerned right now because Yosemite is really smooth now. EDIT6 6/8/2015 Ordered new wifi + BT card ->Azurewave CE-123H. It should be coming in today. It's basically a Dell 1550 wifi card which Dell has confirmed to be working on the M4600. Will report back later. raw_dsdt_ssdt_aml.zip decompiled_dsdt_ssdt_dsl.zip edited_dsdt_ssdt.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 7, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 7, 2015 The path should be EFI/Clover/Cloverx64.efi not EFI/Boot/Cloverx64.efi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a219810 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 I still get the same error above in the dropbox pictures and I re-did the USB installer guide. For some reason the BIOS utility cannot read the EFI partition on the USB stick or navigate past the "EFI" folder. I checked it in Ubuntu and it is indeed formatted to FAT32.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted June 7, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2015 is there a EFI folder in the root of the USB stick maybe it's seeing that one? or it's reading the one from the hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a219810 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes there is an EFI folder in the root of the USB stick and it is reading that one but it cannot navigate past that directory. I switched to a legacy Clover USB installer and that loaded fine. I had to use "nv_disable=1" in my boot args to get the installer to load but now I have zero graphics lol. I think it's a limitation of the BIOS that it cannot boot EFI partitions from USB sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a219810 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I got it working with Chameleon. Here's a list of my progress. Once everything is in order I'll look into switching to Clover. Anyone have ideas on how to fix the last few issues? I suspect those require DSDT edits.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted June 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2015 for sleep wake you can try setting pmset to 0 sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 for lid maybe try adding PNLF patch to dsdt dpci maneger app can give you more info on your hardware to troubleshoot with.
