I tried installing Yosemite through Clover: I create the installer, I boot from the USB stick.
The screen shows b1f: init then it changes to another black screen with only an “_” in the top corner. The LED of the USB stick turns off and nothing happens anymore.

I tried installing using a different USB stick or selecting boot0ss, but nothing changed.

What could be wrong?

Did you boot USB with UEFI mode ?
 
I'm booting from USB but in BIOS (legacy) mode. My system does not support UEFI. :)

What were your selections in the Clover installer?
 
I just solved using boot7! I think that my system doesn't support boot5 (?). Clover works perfectly from Mavericks now and I'm trying to update to Yosemite.

During the installation process I keep getting errors with launchd and it says please switch to XPC or bootstrap_check_in(). Is it something I should be worried about?
