Hi, I'm trying to install the final version of Yosemite (App Store) with Clover (fresh install) but when I boot into the USB to try to start the OS X Installer, nothing happens, enter does nothing and neither do any of the options.

If I choose my old OS X installation from Clover though it works. I am setting up Clover on the USB as EFI, the same way I did when I installed Mavericks. I am including FakeSMC and have even tried with the auto-generated config.plist file.

Here's a video to show: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4wdtquycD9rVEtvQkxYVG9FMGs/view?usp=sharing

Check that you have an up-to-date version of Clover.

Must be a problem in your config.plist. Or UEFI drivers installed, or...

Have tried with multiple different drivers installed, here is a copy of my config file: View attachment config.plist

It worked perfectly in Mountain Lion and Mavericks and the auto generated Clover one is doing the same thing.
 
Build a new config.plist. The one you attached is not formatted correctly and therefore not being read...

Use something like PlistEditPro to validate plist structure...

EDIT: The standard-config.plist posted in this thread would be good starting point:

When you built the USB drive, did you remember to check the box "Install boot0af in MBR"?

I have the USB formatted as GUID, so it has an EFI partition and I am installing it into that. The same way I did when I installed Mountain Lion and Mavericks :)

Trying the config file now.

Trying the standard-config.plist did not work, producing the same result of enter doing nothing regardless of the option/options selected.
