[SUCCESS] Yosemite - Asus h97-plus - i5 4690 - intel 4600

Hi! I'm new here but not in hackintosh world, this is my third hackintosh.

I've been able to install Yosemite via unibeast: It boots from usb even without the -v, using 2 RAM modules (2x8gb).
I installed Yosemite on the SSD (Crucial mx100 256gb) and I have Snow leopard and windows 7 in the standard hd (they come from the previous hackintosh).
I used Multibeast to install some kext.

I wrote SEMISUCCESS because i have some troubles:
- can't boot without USB memory with unibeast
- no audio (hda 887)
- fcpx hangs (similar to http://www.tonymacx86.com/401-install-bootloader-extra-efi-partition/comments4.html#comments)

I've tried with the guide posted here (http://www.tonymacx86.com/401-install-bootloader-extra-efi-partition.html#comments) but i still have the boot0 error.

Can someone please help me?
Thanks

Snow Leopard? If this was working on a previous build then the Snow Leopard boot loader will over ride the Yosemite boot loader. So you will need the boot loader from Your Yosemite USB to get access to the new Yosemite installation.

Remove the HDD (Snow Leopard and Windows) from the board and see if it boot correctly.
 
I've already tried to remove the HDD without success.
I've tried installing clover on the EFI partition of the SSD where I installed yosemite, but the result is always the same: boot0 error.

The strange thing is when I select "disable CSM" and then reboot, the system is unable to find any bootable device, even the yosemite USB.
When I put "AUTO CSM" the system can boot at least from USB.

Did you try using the Boot0 guide:

I am not so familiar with the Asus UEFI options. I expect that if you are able to load optimised defaults and then check these settings then you should be good to go:

Hi Adrian, sorry for the late answer.
Using the guide for boot0 error I was able to boot to yosemite without using the installation usb memory but without clover.
Finally, using multibeast and chimera installation, now i'm able to boot to chimera and select the multiple os that i have in the HDD.
Anyway, using boot menu, i'm able to select to boot from the efi partition using clover, but i'm not able to load yosemite due to the error "unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI\".n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.15.2/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1378"

Using toleda method i have audio. So this hack is now a SUCCESS :)

The only thing that i'm trying to improve is the boot time. Using the ssd i was expecting a faster boot time. What can i do to resolve this?

Have you managed to sort this problem? If using Clover then I suggest posting in the Alternate boot loader section:

Good that audio is working well. :thumbup:

What sort of time does it take to boot Yosemite from the boot menu before you get to the login or desktop? I do find Yosemite a little slower that Mavericks or Mountain Lion - it is much bigger in size.

about 20 seconds

Seems a little long for an SSD - unless it is a budget orientated model like the Kingston v300 range. You can try booting using -v flag to see if it is sticking at a point before moving on. Also can try using Black Magic Speed test:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/bat-cave/...chmarks-using-blackmagic-disk-speed-test.html

I think my boot times are a little over 30 seconds on my Yosemite test installation which is on a spare HDD at present as I do not have a spare SSD to hand for this purpose at present.
 
The ssd is a crucial mx100, not a budget one :)
blackmagic disk speed test says 331 mb/s write and 492 mb/s read

Using the verbose boot i'm not able to see if the system hangs waiting for something.
Using console otherwise i see something:
