Good morning all,
So, with Yosemite coming out, I'm having to switch my bootloader from Chimera to Clover, if I want Facetime/iMessage/Handoff to work. I'm trying to get full functionality, and I've broke down and ordered a PCI-E adapter and real Apple bluetooth/802.11ac adapter so Handoff will work. Coming from China, so god knows when it'll get here.
In any case, I tried the "Clover test drive" (Install Clover bootloader to USB and boot from there) and it works, except for sound. I initially couldn't get it to work using the UEFI method, but I switched to the Legacy method and it works fine. For sound, my understanding is I need to reinstall the original AppleHDA.kext then patch it through the Clover config. That'll come soon enough, but for now, I know I need to reinstall Yosemite with the Clover USB, so the recovery partition will get installed.
I'm at Step 3 in Tony's guide (http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html). I've created the Yosemite USB installer, and I'm able to select the USB drive through the F12 boot selector, and the boot loader does come up. I select "Boot OS X Install from OS X Install OS X Yosemite", and it never loads up. I didn't do anything different than I did when I created a plain USB Clover bootloader, so the fact that OSX will load using my existing installation, but not the Install is strange to me.
I've tried verbose mode, and I've attached the results of what I am getting when trying to boot to the installer.
Any advise would be appreciated.
