I went back and double checked. That is where the load stopped; ATHR: Unknown locale: 69

Hi again, So I went through and set everything up as per the previous posts. While trying to reboot I get the attached photo. Hope something showing makes sense. I know I'm stuck. Again thank you in advance. Don't like being a pain!

Thank you for all your assistance. I am going to go back and try it all again. One last question for now; more of a clarification. You mentioned to have all those kexts in the 'extra/extensions' folder. Should they all be in there or in the 'library/extensions'? I know when mb installs them it puts them in the later. Just want to make sure. Thanks again.

I will use the dsdt by OP in addition I will use the other files provided in the 'extra' folder along with those you suggested and without the noted kexts that will not work in Yosemite as directed and add those flags to the boot.plist The 1st HDD has Windows on it currently and now I understand why I have the need for f12, I suppose an exceptable choice for now. I neglected to take a picture of the KP but I was able to see that at one point it indicated that no osx was installed(?) Edit: Also, is the modules folder OSX specific? Do I need to ensure I copy that as well?

Hi, Let me see if I can fully explain (properly) as to where I am. I should note that I am using a *beast mode which I know is not truly supported here and maybe its time to ditch that method but I digress. Here is what I've done/tried. 1. Install using Chameleon with 'nv_disable=1 dart=0' 2. formatted and installed using GUID 3. Yosemite installed, reboot and using f12 to select 2nd hdd (OS) I again need to use the above flags. 4. installation finishes (which is where I am now) 5. Have tried both a patched DSDT and dsdt free (under other method) which also installs chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) 6. Reboot system a. on reboot if I leave it, I don't get drive options (assuming chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) is not loading) b. f12 and choose 2nd drive. I get three options, *beast, OS, Yosemite. When I choose the later I get kernel panics and no flags will boot me back into OSX I am assuming that its my graphics that are still causing me problems as I need to disable nVidia and solely run with Intel4000. If I am missing anything else that you might need please let me know as I am now stuck. I know I have a fair bit of tinkering to get a solid installation but I'm kind of stuck! Thanks Edit: Also, I was trying to download and check out EDP. I have following the directions but once I have it loaded it is showing a fatal error on the edp window? Is this not something I can use or should only be used in conjunction with the installation method that preceeds it?

Thank you for the quick reply to this. I should have mentioned that I have Yosemite installed. Will that make a difference in any of the files that are part of Extra Folder; which I found btw. Edit: Also curious to know if EDP now supports Inspiron 5523? I checked the list and I did see 5520.

I'm wondering if I can resurrect this post as I have the exact system with the noted differences listed. I am looking for a patched dsdt/ssdt. I did however prematurely post as I used another installation method. I am going to go back and use the guide here first. Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
