opei Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 So... any help is greatly appriciated. I have an Optiplex 360 with... Q9400 Processor 4GB Ram Nvidia GT620 1GB Graphics Card USB audio card The only way I have been able to install OSX 10.10 so far has been with Niresh's Yosemite Zone with chameleon bootloader. Everything except for iMessage worked for me. (graphics, sound, onboard LAN) This was with the following boot flags (-v -f dart=0 PCIRoot=4 GraphicsEnabler=Yes kext-dev-mode=1) This however was with no SMBIOS. None of them would work for me. So here is what I am trying to do and am looking for some advice. I am trying to install Vanilla Yosemite with Clover to get iMessage to work. Is that even possible with the BIOS on my board? (Non-UEFI) Has anyone had any luck with 10.10 Vanilla on an Optiplex 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opei Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Also how do I do PCIRoot=4 in Clover? I see there is PCIRootUID=0/1. Does PCIRootUID=4 do anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2015 PciRoot=4 basically aligns the bootloader PCI root with the computer's default settings. You can bypass this by patching the DSDT and setting PCI root value to 0. There are several posts on the forum about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opei Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have seen your posts on this. Is there a way to type it into the boot arguments for clover to boot initially though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 13, 2015 Just add the parameter to the Clover boot options. I don't know if Clover support "PciRoot=x" like Chameleon, if in doubt, use PCIRootUID=x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
