[solved] Cant boot system after post-installation

[bladzik]

Hello guys,

First of all i want to thanks RehabMan who helped me to get to the installer - this one http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/asus-x555lj-installation-problem.200979/

But now Ive got another problem.

I did the following steps:

1. Downloaded Post-Installation zip from Downloads, and one by one installed Clover v2.3k r3320-UEFI and then CustoMac Essentials.
2. Then i downloaded Clover Configurator (the newest i guess) and the config.plist for my GPU from here https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/blob/master/config_HD5300_5500_6000.plist. I renamed it into the config.plist and moved to EFI partition/EFI/Clover (there where it should be).
3. Then i used (in Clover Configurator) prepared for MacBook Pro 12,1 (2015) SMBios
4. After all i restarted laptop but when the clover loaded itself there was no option to choose (as at attached image below), so if there was no way i put the usb stick (which i used to install the system) again and booted the OS X, but when it loaded I wasnt able to move cursor on the screen anywhere, seems like the touchpad just stopped working, and also the built in keyboard didnt work, so I can only use the usb mouse.

Thanks,
Peter

Dear God, do You guys think that it might be caused cos I didnt put HFSplus.efi in efi partition? efi/efi/clover/(however that folder was called)

You forgot HFSPlus.efi. Read the guide carefully: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Your question regarding mounting EFI is covered in the FAQ.

Ok so I just put the .efi file where it belongs, and now i can choose to Mac OS X to boot and Recovery HD, but when i choose Mac OS X, even with -v flag there apppears a kernel panic logo, when with -v nothing more. Also when i try to boot from usb stick, and i choose Mac os x (it worked before) apple logo appears for 1-2 second and the system just restarts.

Edit: after starting from Os X now it is stucked at apple logo.
Edit2: now it has booted from USB.
Edit3: Weird thing, after log in to the system booted from USB stick it just did the reboot.

Make sure you used the correct config.plist and configured Clover/kexts just as you did for USB.

I used the same one config.plist in the main system as in the usb, but for system i used Clover attached in Post-Installation zip (it is 3320-UEFI), but for USB i used Clover version v3625, and also in system i modified config.plist with clover configurator, but there i just added some SMBios informatio, I can try to replace the config.plist in the system with the one which is on usb with clover.

I don't know why you would use a different Clover setup than for USB. You already know the Clover setup on USB works.

Ok got it, to be honest - You're so patient
It works, there was no kexts in the efi partition on my hard drive in folder 'Other' so i just copied the whole folder from usb stick, and also replaced config.plist on hard drive with that one from usb. Seems to be ok - but there were still a keyboard and a touchpad not working, so i installed VoodooPS2Controller.kext with easykext pro and its ok actually.

Right now I'm confused about audio, cos i can't identify which one i have so i am not able to install proper driver for it.
