I used the config file on the d630 thread and still have the same issues, it will not bootup and crashes at the system uptime in nanoseconds.  So when installing Clover I just install it, select the USB drive that i want it installed in and that's all?  I choose no other options?

When installing Clover, do I just do a vanila install and not select anything or do I select certain things for the D830?  I've found tutorials saying I should use legacy mode and tried that but that does not seem to work.

Do you have to use "kext-dev-mode=1"  even if it's not the dev install?  I have downloaded the latest Yosemite from the App store.

So I followed your tutorial finally was able to get the BaseSystem.dmg mapped and got the USB all taken care of.  I deleted the Packages link, copied the one from the install, installed Clover added all my kexts from E/E and my dsdt.aml also into patched. booted up and still dies at the nanoseconds one.  Clover still sees my D830 as a MacBook2,1 in smbios.  Not sure what I did wrong.

this is the error I get.

 

Steves-MacBook-Pro:~ root# open /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg

Ok I'll give yours another try.  I open up the InstallESD.dmg but then when I run the "open" command I get error -600 so I get stuck there.  Clover def thinks my d830 isn't a MacPro. 

Ok, sorry to jump on this thread but I have just attempted to install Yosemite on my D830 with Clover and I am running into many issues. I have followed many different guides to get this going and none have seemed to work.  I have followed the ones from IM that have you do the sudo /Application.... command to get it installed on the USB key and then installed Clover.  I have to edit the smbios to reflect that I have a MacPro5,1 to even get it to start.  Once it starts it goes for a while then crashes right after it says system uptime in nanoseconds.  I have copied all my kext files from my Mavericks E/E folder to the 10.10 one on the usb key and also the dsdt.aml in the patched folder.  I am at a loss.  Have no idea what I am doing wrong.

 

On a side note, is Clover really that much better than Chameleon?  I haven't tried Chameleon with Yosemete so it might be just as frustrating.  Any help would be great.

no go, my cpu still spikes up and everything lags....

I installed another version of fakesmc that fixed that problem but I am still getting jitters when trying to view videos.  I tested with a youtube video and the load average jumped to 7 and that wasn't even full screen.  I just now ran edp and see if that will help.  retuned the fakesmc to the above values for my d830.

So I have a d830 with Nvidia graphics and performed the fakesmc edit and removed the appropriate kext files.  I ran myfix full and I get a kernel panic every time I boot.  If I boot with the -v -f flags I have no issues.  Not sure what I did wrong. 

So, I thought I would be a good guy and update my buddies d830 to Mavericks.  The install went well, booted up no problem but the issue is he has no wifi.  I searched and found this thread.  Looking at my machine I have a BCM4311, wifi works well, looking at his machine he has a BCM4312 and no go.  Is there anything out there that I can install to get the wifi going?

How does one do that? It's back up, strange thing is that if I boot of the HD the chameleon loader is not a GUI and it seems to hang that way.  When I boot off the USB and select the HD it seems to come up.

Rebooted again and it worked this time.  Not sure why but it did let me finish the install.  Now to reboot, install EDP and hope all is good after that.

Ok, finally had a chance to install it yesterday.  All seemed to go good until my first boot to the new os.  I booted with -v got all the way to selecting my language, but unfortunately the scroll pad doesn't work and the usb mouse that I then tried to plug into it doesn't work.  Any ideas?

Cool I'm at work right now so can't test til I get home.  Sounds promissing.  Thx.

Ok,

 

So I have a D830 with the nVidia graphics card.  I had ML installed on it.  I created a new usb bootable install with myhack 3.3 and a download of Mavericks.  I downlioaded the bootpack for 10.0 and my system, used myhack to install the /Extra directory, then ran myfix.  I installed a new hd in the laptop, boot up to the usb and get the option of booting from the myhack image I created.  I select it and pretty much nothing happens.  A few lines at the top left corner then comes back to the same boot options.  I tried using he -v option but it didn't show my anything more then not using that option does.  I tried the PCIRootUID=0 and npci=0x2000.  Reasons I tried those was because to get ML installed on the laptop I had to boot with some options but don't remember which ones exactly.  Anyone have any ideas how to get it to at least install?  Thanks in advance.
