Ok here's my current situation, I have a successful install of Clover Bootloader and Yosemite dual booted with Window's 8.1. Everything works flawlessly. Window's 8.1 is on a 250GB SSD and Yosemite is on a 160GB HDD. My next goal is to try and get Mountain Lion installed on another 120GB HDD and be bootable from the Clover bootloader (Clover EFI is installed on the 160GB Yosemite HDD).
What I have tried so far:
NOTE: With both method's I also used Verbose mode, and both halted on "DRMStatus: iTunes/Apple Store Content Access Problem" From what I've found online this is caused by HD4600, and a GPU is needed? I'm not sure.
So my goal is to get Mountain Lion installed on a fresh 120GB HDD and be able to boot it from Clover which is installed on the Yosemite HDD. I guess my hold ups right now are getting the right kext/configuration for mountain lion to be able to boot successfully with my motherboard and hardware.
I know Clover has additional folder's for 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 within the kext folder so maybe I can patch them on the fly or do a direct S/L/E kext placement for Mountain Lion. Any help would be appreciated, I'm stumped as of now.
What I have tried so far:
- Created InstallESD by right clicking Install Mountain Lion.app > Show Contents > Shared Support and mounting InstallESD. Opening disk utility and using the restore method from InstallESD to 16GB USB Pen Drive. Then installing clover ontop of that. Booted from USB, partitioned HDD and installed. Was only able to boot into the desktop in Safe Mode and trying to install clover to the Mountain Lion HDD failed. EFI couldn't be mounted, or found something about msdos.kext
- Option two, I installed Mountain Lion to USB through Unibeast, everything worked as expected. Booted into Clover from Yosemite EFI, selecting "Install OS X from *USB NAME*" Installed launched, partitioned HDD again and setup went through as normal but once again was only able to boot into the desktop via safe mode. With this method I also tried multibeast and installed the kext for my board (MSI Z97 Gaming 5). Still have to use Safe Mode to boot into desktop.
