Hi

Firs, thanks for your support guys, i love this forum.

I'm trying to install yosemite using your usb image and following your instructions but when I boot to the usb the installer stop at this screen:

I try booting with legacy and uefi getting the same result. I use your image to install yosemite with no problem in my msi z97-g45 motherboard but i change to a gigabyte ga-z97x-ud5h and know i cant boot to the installer. Im using the stock bios and optimized default settings. I will apreciate some help.

Hi. Thank you for reply.

Ive tried these settings with the same result. I also tried booting with chameleon but nothing work. Any idea?

I dont know if you can see the screen shot. Here is the link: http://pasteboard.co/1uVnAwnx.png

What SMBIOS does Clover set?

[Jeordanis]

It says:

Product name: Imac 14.2

Version: 1.0

[pernacabeluda]

Try to remove npci parameter from boot args, or change it to 0x3000.

[Jeordanis]

I change it to 0x3000 and get the same result, then remove the entry and now i get "still waiting for root device"

I tried chaging usbownership to "true" and use " -gux_defer_usb2 -gux_no_idle" but stil stuck in waiting for root device and a forbidden sign on screen.

Did you configure XHCI in BIOS as explained in this topic?

I tried using diferent usb ports but nothing change. Tried booting without caches but "unable to load caches".

Looks like the usb ports stop working at some point.

Yes. I configured my bios exactly as explained in your link.

PD: Im booting clover legacy as you explained in the install instructions.

Try to remove the kext GenericUSBXHCI from EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 (maybe this USB works natively).

[Jeordanis]

I do that but still the same problem.

[Jeordanis]

I use this same USB device to install yosemite in my older motherboard without change the bios settings or use any boot flag, so the usb device is fine. Help me guys, I'm desperate.

[pernacabeluda]

It may be a compatibility issue.

Try to update Clover.

[Jeordanis]

How can i do that? Please note that I have no installation of os x.

[pernacabeluda]

Then it's not an option.

Sorry, I really have no idea.

Where and how please.

[Jeordanis]

Ok i manege to get into the installer changing the memory profile in the bios setting and using chameleon. I do not have graphics acceleration now. Do you recomend me install clover now?

[pernacabeluda]

What USB setup worked for you (BIOS, kext and boot args) after changing the memory profile?

Install Clover and inject ig-platform-id
