Installation ResultsNow The Error:
OS X could not be installed on your computer
An error occurred while extracting files from the package "Essentials.pkg".
Quite the installer to restart your computer and try again.
**Now here is the funny part. I was able to successfully Install Yosemite on my second try. After I got the error on the very first try, I then restarted the laptop booted to usb and skipped the partition steps and Jumped right in to install. It installed with no errors this time and I was able to set up OSx and have fun learning a New OS. I was even online with my Atheros WiFi cards, I didn't like the way Yosemite has a 2D Dock. so I downloaded cDock and played with that. I changed a security setting to install non Apple Apps And I Was able to restart and and get back in no problem without the post instillation steps by booting to USB Flash Drive and selecting the Macintosh HD. ***
Post Installation Problems!once I did the Post installation steps i.e. installing Chameleon-2.2svn-r2401 and the Script and Sound fix. I restarted, Bios screen F12 boot options and chose the "Modular Bay" (where I installed OSx) Darwin came up with an error on top in dull gray words. I didn't write it down!! Then an Apple gray screen and Black background text with white letters to about half down the screen and I remember something saying with AHCI in it but it no longer was able to boot.
I have been trying to redo everything from step 1 all over again 3 times now to just get past the install section as I did before. but every time, I wait about 10 min, I keep getting the error:
An error occured while extracting files from the package "Essentials.pkg". and then restart.
I Double checked everything at first I had the A12 Bios update and I didn't Uncheck "Enable VT for Direct I/O" however it installed when it was checked and the bios was at A12.
I even recreated the flash drive a 2nd time thinking maybe I didn't eject the drive right the first time or it was just corrupted somehow.
any incite would help and I am going to keep trying. Just wanted to post the problems I encountered. Thanks!
