The device root uuid is on Asus UX303LA (Broadwell)

matejjelic · Mar 19, 2015

Hi everyone!

I wanted to install Yosemite from bootable USB on my PC with Broadwell CPU/GPU.
I used Clover.
I got an error "The device root uuid is: ..." followed by the uuid itself.
My machine is:
Asus Zenbook UX303LA-C4273P:
- CPU: Intel i7-5500U (Broadwell)
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5500 (I don't have two Graphics cards, just Intel...)
- Other: 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

I used this guide for making bootable USB:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...oting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover-uefi.html

I've read this guide, but I cannot relate to it (this laptop sucessfully booted on Unibeast USB, and it has Haswell CPU/GPU, not Broadwell):
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/148785-yosemite-asus-zenbook-ux303la-4165h.html

I also read this guide:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/141410-clover-stuck-root-device-uuid.html

And this post in Clover guide (because the config.plist was not generated correctly in the previous post):
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...ll-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html#post893000

I also saw this, but changing bootflags did not solve my problem:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/76065-still-waiting-root-device-error.html

This same USB can boot my other PC (ASUS N750jv), but I cannot boot my Zenbook UX303LA.
Is this because of Broadwell CPU/GPU?
I used these kernel extensions (kexts):
- FakeSMC.kext
- GenericUSBXHCI.kext
- VoodooPS2Controller.kext
- I did not use any Ethernet kexts as I don't have Ethernet card on my PC

I used this plist file (from the guide in first link) and renamed/reconfigured it - config_HD5xxx.plist.
My config.plist looks like this:

My BIOS settings are:

My error looks like this:

When I get this error my USB drive turns off (the data transfer indicator LED stops blinking like the power is off) and I cannot do anything with my PC. I can only shut it down by holding the power button.

I've Googled for this type of error and I've seen other people solving it by adding some bootflags, adding/removing kexts and modifying their config.plist file.
I did not find solution for my problem.

Is this all because broadwell chips?
Is my config.plist OK? (probably not...)
Is my ig-platform-ids OK?

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks in advance!

Pretty much have to wait for 10.10.3 for broadwell support if I am not mistaken. Think that there is no patched kernel due to the fact that Apple's got it covered when 10.10.3 comes out.

You'll need to wait to do any Broadwell hacking. Current version of Yosemite has no Broadwell support.

Do you guys know for how long should I wait for 10.10.3?
It is out in public beta based on Apple Developers info.
Are you 100% sure that Yosemite 10.10.3 will support it?

I see people talking about Broadwell here (I just don't know why I couldn't find this post before):
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/159316-custom-built-laptop-i7-5500u-broadwell.html

There are some Broadwell specific kexts in 10.10.3 beta:

I'm sorry. I didn't want to break the rules. I just wanted to point out that there is a possibility of installing Yosemite 10.10.3 on Broadwell based on the links above...
Sorry once again...

Any progress with this issue? I have exactly the same problem on my Dell xps 13 touch with i7-5500u

Use search/google to find early work on Broadwell...

For example: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/161591-intel-hd-graphics-5500-need-some-help.html

Hi!
I didn't know about the early fix that RehabMan posted. I needed Yosemite quickly so I use it under VM Ware.

I'll try to install it someday soon.

The device root uuid is on Asus UX303LA (Broadwell)
