SeanOMik Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I tried to make a yosemite installer for a D830 it didn't work, I made a forum and said that that tuturial is out of date and would be surprised if it still worked. Im yondering if anybody could create a tuturial and just paste it in a reply. I cant find anything on anybody making a installer that worked with the D830 that isn't outdated.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 15, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 15, 2016 You can follow my ElCapitan guide for the D630 nVidia, using the D830 bootpack (or not). The only difference is that Yosemite does not require the CsrActiveConfig parameter (no SIP issue in Yos like in EC), just the kext-dev-mode parameter that you set to 1.

SeanOMik Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 OK well it finished installing. but then it froze, so then I used, "kext-dev-mode=1 -v" for boot flags and now it frezzes on THIS. there were no problems during the install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 15, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 15, 2016 do you have a kernel at System/Library/Kernels/kernel if not put it there or on the root of the drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanOMik Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 do you have a kernel at System/Library/Kernels/kernel if not put it there or on the root of the drive On the USB? Yes I do have one there. [EDIT] Or do you mean a folder in Kernels named kernel? The laptop has Nivida Graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 15, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 15, 2016 The kernel file goes under the name "kernel" in a folder called "Kernels", itself located in /System/Library. The "Kernels" folder does not exist by default and needs to be manually created for the Enoch / Chameleon based method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted January 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2016 Then I would say your bootloader did not install properly. Re-install using default settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanOMik Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sorry its been so long, but do I use Enoch, because that's what I'm using right now, I'm using Version Enoch 2795. EDIT Im also supposed to boot off the USB drive and choose the partition of what I made when I partitioned the hard drive during the installer right? Also when I try to use Enoch the same thing happends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 23, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2016 You boot off the USB driver right after Yosemite installation on your HDD/SSD because, at that initial stage, the bootloader is not installed on the disk/partition. Once it's installed, you no longer require to boot via the USB key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
