Guide - Fusion Drive using tonymacx86 Tools & Chimera

Cougarcat said:
That's a pretty silly one-sided comparison, IMO. It doesn't mention any of the plus sides, and many of those points are irrelevant for hackintoshes.

I agree. I took a look at it and laughed. None of those things listed had any impact on my hackintosh. What really made me laugh though was when it said Considerable “nerd” skill required to deal with Fusion volume setup (if failure). I mean seriously?

I booted with the usb again and in chimera I choosed to boot the installer.
I don't know why, but if you do this, you get to your new installed OS.

I also can only boot Fusion Drive by booting USB attached backup drive after getting "can't find" error from chemeleon. Any ideas on how to boot without using attached USB backup drive.

this will sound weird, but it worked for me when you selects your hard drive and
CAN'T FIND appears
you then selects the USB drive as if you went to boot reinstalled mac os


made in it will not start the usb as it should do but start the hard drive


then follow the tutorial in the first page to install the bootloader on the hard drive

Yes, I followed steps on page 1 to make Fusion Drive bootable. Even redid them.

However, I still can only boot my Fusion Drive after getting "can't find" error then select external USB backup drive used to copy OS unto Fusion Drive and it boots to Fusion Drive.

Should I run Multibeast when booted on the new Fusion Drive in order to get it to boot from startup.

I also tried Clover from the USB drive and it found the Fusion Drive but could not boot it. Does not use UUID of Fusion Drive. Tried to override with CustomUUID and it still would not boot.

not used chimera disk Fusion

it must be
Section 2 - Fusion Drive Creation
You skip steps creates a disk fusion and restoration of the system already done for you

Download Chimera 1.11.1.pkg (or the latest version) from TonyMaxX86 Downloads ....... bla bla bla ..... Navigate in the Pacifist window to the "i386" folder, click on it to select it, then click on the Extract To.. button, and select your desktop as the target. Confirm in the dialog that opens - click Extract button. Enter you password to proceed.

Pacifist puts a decompressed copy of the selected "i386" folder on your desktop. Close Pacifist.

Copy and paste the boot, boot0 and boot1h files from the i386 folder to your desktop.

continuing the tutorial from this point until the end

Select the /Extra folder and drag a copy to the Desktop.

(can be used as a TIME MACHINE instead of a clone to restore the system disk Fusion)
you can use a USB key Unibeast also created the disk Fusion and restored the system restore using a time machine, EXCEPT when you restore the system with usb unibeast we started on this one at first boot disk Fusion and when one selects the disk Fusion
it appears CAN'T FIND
at this moment it selects the usb unibeast, and I noticed that at this moment it is not the usb will booted but the hard drive that we were not able to start just before

Noted that fusion drive does not work on the laptop, after my test of the probook, this guide does not work on a laptop, only on desktop with hard disk 3.5 ,,you can install the system on the laptop but it is impossible booted
 
For those who have "can't find problem" in chimera and put them back when selecting one of Fusion drives, you must use UserKernelCache set to yes
There is no mach_kernel on Boot partitions of this drives so you must use cache or other partition that has kernel.. as someone find out that selecting Install will work for this reason
 
Nobody else has had iCloud issues?

I have two Hackintosh machines.

P55-UD3R core i5 750 and a Z68MA-B2-D2H 2500k with UEFI bios. Setup fusion drive with clean installation of 10.8.2 on both computers. Everything works EXCEPT iCloud. I've tried all the various solutions, EFI string, chameleon versions, network resets, PCIRootUID, SMBIOS edits and nothing has seemed to work. Anyone else run into a similar problem and figure out a way to solve it?

I got it to work once using Clover, but I am getting so many more issues with Clover than Chameleon/Chimera so I'm trying to stick with Chameleon if possible.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Yes, kernel flag of "UseKernelCache=Yes" does the trick it now boots perfectly.

Note: Fusion Drive works fine on notebook.

Should I enable trim support for the SSD of my Fusion Drive?
 
Great tutorial, I was able to get it booted up and running.

However, I can no longer login to iCloud or iMessage. Has anyone else had this issue?

I tried to find a solution, but didn't find anything regarding this happening after setting up a fusion drive.

Thanks,

Adam
