Hi,
thanks for the suggestions...
@hervé: The SATA Mode is set to AHCI in BIOS... but after Installation the icon in the chameleon bootloader looks not like the big white X´ed circle but is a lionhead with the word RAID in it... to revert it from raid, I have to go to terminal and issue diskutil cs revert #UUID#... after that, the icon is "normal"...
@bronxteck:
wtf... I thought, the kernel in System/Library/Kernels is the patched one... (same size). If the Installer USB Stick contains the patched kernel... how
could the unpatched kernel go to the destination disk? I copied the patched kernel under new name to /S/L/K and booted, telling to use the other kernel... that worked! Although this step is mentioned in the guide, I was not aware of this "importantness"... I compared the file by size and thought it was the patched one... my fault... thank you!
So, after 5 really hard days of trying around I now have a almost fully working HackbookAir,,, with sound, graphics, lan... I now have to get WLAN running and check iMessage and co.
WLAN will be impossible for me I think as I have an Intel AC7260 card... maybe I´ll replace it with a hackintosh compatible version.
For other readers with a config like mine:
I followed the guide here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7478-dell-latitude-yosemite-install-guide/
Especially Post #4 is important.
Dont forget to use the patched kernel on the target!
Diffuculties i faced during installation on MY System:
- although SATA mode was set to AHCI and the target drive was properly partitioned and formatted (GUID, Mac journalled) tha drive had to be reverted from RAID Mode after installation (its mentioned in the guide)
- to properly boot into post-installation I needed the flags -f IntelAzulFB=12
- to skip the bluetooth keyboard detection progress, press spacebar
- after all I had to reinstall chameleon... the system just did not want to boot from the harddisk... with the usb stick and selecting the hdd afterwards booting was no problem, but I wanted to be able to boot without USB-Stick... so I just had to reinstall chameleon on the target device.
Post#4 tells to patch the kernel to fix a problem with the preview app... this was not necessary for me, because I have no problems with this app or the patched kernel you can download there does already contain this fix.
So finally its time to say thank you guys again, I really appreciate your work and helpfulness (is this a correct word? excuse my bad english...)
So I just donated to tonycrapx86 for the unifail and to the osxlatitude-forum for the great guide and help.
keep on,
yves
