The TRIM-Patch from Multibeast 7.01 doesn't work! It broke my whole installation of 10.10 several times using a Crucial MX100 (even replace the patched kext with the vanilla one didn't worked!). So please don't use it just yet and wait till it's fixed! Applied the patch on a "real mac" with non-Apple SSD and to a hackintosh with a 840 EVO. Both systems broke only because of the patch.

I think this is a real huge problem for now and please remove the TRIM patch from Multibeast! I spend hours of diagnostics why yosemite didn't booted on my hackintosh and now I know, after I applied it to a real Mac, it was just the TRIM patch the whole time..


Thanks for your hard work! Really appreciate and love it (most of the time :D)!
 
That's the problem there is nothing else to look at...

I installed 10.10 to the 2012er Ivy Bridge 13" MacBook Pro with a Crucial MX100. Then I launched Multibeast and installed the TRIM Patch. And after the restart the boot stucks with a stop sign. Only way back was installing 10.10 again with an USB drive. After this I redownloaded Multibeast and tried it again, same problem.

The hackintosh (840er EVO) ran very smoothly and so I installed 10.10 and ran the TRIM Patch. Exact same failure with the stop sign. Without installing the patch everything is working fine.

I can't imagine that I'am the only one.. Tomorrow I will test it with a second hackintosh which also have a 840er EVO... If this hackintosh also fails, the TRIM Patch can't work for 10.10. Or maybe it's some kind of localisation problem? But it worked for 10.9.5 and the TRIM Patch for 10.10 is the same perl script as you know.

So I attached my vanilla AHCI kext. So you could replace yours, patch it, and watch the SSD-Boot failing...

are you talking about the gray screen with the O and the / through it on reboot after enabling TRIM? If so I have the same problem with a samsung 830 SSD. (Yes took me a couple installations till I realized it was TRIM doing it LOL)

check out:

I haven't had time to mess with it and just been running without TRIM..
 
Yes!!!! That's what I'am talking about! Thank you for the affirmation. And I'am pretty sure it happens with every SSD out there on the market. MacMan please look at the Link bones posted. Even if you're booting with kext-dev mode it didn't worked.
It's maybe because the TRIM Patch don't rebuild the kextcache. So you need to add to the script
"kextcache -prelinked-kernel System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache -K System/Library/Kernels/kernel System/Library/Extensions"

The TRIM patch in MultiBeast has been tested and is working for others.
 
I think it only can work if you perform a kextcache rebuild after the installation of the TRIM Patch. And other testers may performed this rebuild while installing other kexts etc. But when you perform the TRIM Patch isolated it can't work. At least a line in the tooltip should suggest "This patch needs kext-dev-mode=1" because it's not that obvious if you didn't looked at the changes which yosemite brought us.
 
ok I followed that post and moved:

<string>kext-dev-mode=1</string>

to the top and just selected TRIM in multibeast and it worked.

I do have the 5 second pause on boot up now and tried to run the fix on that post but still have the 5 second pause..

good thing is now I have TRIM working :)

thanks popel75
