  1. I just kept everything the same as what was in the bootpack. All kexts are in other and there is no folder other than other.
  2. That is what I am doing. The install usb I made won't boot. It gets stuck at "Waiting for DSMOS"
  3. I deleted the efi folder completely and replaced it with the bootpack. Still have waiting for dsmos. I also tried remaking it on another usb. Still have waiting for dsmos.
  4. Ok, I mounted the drive and found that fakesmc was in the other folder
  5. Ok I tried to use both clover configurator and EFI mounter. But neither worked as seen here: Clover configurator is left and right is EFI mounter
  6. Oh, now I feel stupid. I wasn't using any of those tools. I was looking in disk utility.
  7. I can't seem to mount the efi partition for editing it. Should I reinstall it without installing it in the ESP?
  8. I am trying to boot from the USB. What I am saying is that when I want to try and edit the usb stick's efi partition so that I can change the smbios but it shows up blank on my imac when I try to edit it.
  9. I can't change the smbios because the efi partition appears empty on my imac
  10. I turned off optimum and got stuck on "waiting for dsmos..." and I am using whatever smbios that was in the bootpack on your thread.
  11. Yes I did. I have managed to get someone to download a copy of el capitan for me. I have made the usb but when I boot it I get a completely garbled screen.
  12. It tells me "Operation not supported" for this command: /Volumes/<HDD partition name>/usr/sbin/kextcache -Boot -U /Volumes/<HDD partition name>/ -K /Volumes/<HDD partition name>/System/Library/Kernels/kernel
  13. I have been plugging my hard drive in to my imac and using that to do everything (delete kexts ect). I used kext wizard on my imac to rebuild cache on the hard drive
  14. Ok well I used that bootpack and tried deleting most kexts but unfortunately I still get this
  15. It's there but it doesn't let me download it. It just tells me that it cannot be installed on this computer (which is not actually what I want to do but ok apple).
  16. I found out that when I did the upgrade the el capitan installer was deleted. I have no way of getting another one because the only real mac I own is a late 2006 core 2 duo iMac which is running 10.7 lion which doesn't support any newer os or even let me download it to use on another computer. I can get someone else to download el capitan for me but it's not ideal. If I wanted to try and repair my current install where would I start?
  17. Unfortunately even with the patched AICPUPM and the kernelBooter_kexts=yes flag. It still ends with the same result as post 6 of this topic. It says something about loading extensions then it dies.
  18. Is there any hope recovering this or should I start from scratch with el capitan? (I would much prefer recovering this though)
  19. 1. I used all the kexts from npjohnson's guide and a couple more (I don't remember exactly but if you give me a second I can send you a screenshot of everything in my S/L/E folder from my old imac) 2. It's in the second post 3. I used kext wizard to rebuild cache after removing the kext. I didn't try booting without cache. I will try now EDIT: Booting without caches did nothing EDIT 2: Here is all of the kexts in S/L/E:
  20. Ok I tried installing enoch on to the drive and upon boot (with -v) I got followed by followed by the laptop turning off
  21. I removed the ev0reboot kext and set AsusAICPUPM to true but it still kernel panics. Sometimes it doesn't even get all the way down PCI (build 19:23: It just cuts off at that line example:
  22. Also, earlier it couldn't boot because of not being able to find mach_kernel, so I copied System/Library/Kernels/kernel to the root of the drive and renamed it to mach_kernel Here is my clover EFI folder: EFI.zip
  23. First of all here are my system specs: Dell Latitude e6420 Intel Core i7 2720QM 16 GB RAM NVS 4200m I had mavericks installed with everything working using chameleon, the dsdt from here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/342-latitude-e6420-nvs-4200-dsdtaml/ kexts from here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6192-guide-mavericks-on-dell-latitude-e6420/ and an ssdt from here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5943-dell-latitude-e6520-e6420-with-optimus-enabled-mavericks/ I had to switch to clover to do the upgrade, and it installed fine. The issue is that now it kernel panics when I try to boot it. Here is a picture I managed to grab before it turned off: Does anyone know what is wrong?
