Thanks for being so quick to respond. It says this: Jul 17 21:06:21 Liams-iMac installer[599]: Product archive /Users/liamduffy/Downloads/MultiBeast - El Capitan Edition/MultiBeast.app/Contents/Resources/Clover_v2.3k_r3423-UEFI.pkg trustLevel=100 Jul 17 21:06:21 Liams-iMac installer[599]...

I used to dual boot Windows / OS X using Chimera, but have had a world of trouble trying to upgrade to El Capitan + Clover. I followed this guide and so far have installed Windows 10 on the first partition and OS X on the second. I can boot into the first through the BIOS and the second through...

I was finally able to get the upgrade to work. The solution was to set the Windows partition as active, otherwise it wouldn't even begin the process. I also had to ensure that only the USB for the Windows installer was plugged in as the machine rebooted, as the first time it did this caused the...

So I downloaded the installer and put it onto a USB. Upgrading my current install fails because it supposedly can't determine if Windows can run (probably a GPT + legacy BIOS instead of UEFI problem), and doing a full install fails because I only have a Windows 8 key. I'm far too cheap to pay...

Boot with the -v flag and let us know what error it spits out upon crashing.

Look in the buyers guide, and use the search function to try and find successful builds using that motherboard. Also, the 'compatibility advice' folder is probably a better fit for this sort of question.

Pretty sure you'll need to reinstall chimera, Windows will want to mess with the EFI partition unfortunately. Pretty easy thing to do though.

My guess is that if the unibeast bootloaders are genuinely installed, the wrong partition may be set as active. Here's a good guide to resolving that problem.

You're better off going with a fresh install. It will probably boot but aspects of the installation will be specific to the system it was created on. You will find issues that will take longer to resolve than it would've taken to back your files up and restore them to the new machine, if they...

Yeah it's a huge pain trying to create a working bootable usb without a windows computer. The boot camp helper will create one for you if you give it an ISO image, but it will only boot in UEFI mode, which means Windows then installs in UEFI mode! Which isn't what you want if you're installing...

My preferred method would be to use the NTFS (windows) drive for sharing, and install ntfs-3g to enable writing to the drive from OS X. Here's a guide on how to do that. I don't think there's a good way to access HFS drives from Windows, at least not one that's free anyway.

So I have a nice slim Apple Wireless keyboard, which unfortunately cannot be used to select the OS in chimera for obvious reasons. I also have an dell usb keyboard which is huge and ugly and I don't really want to have it out all the time. So I'm wondering if there's another way to interrupt the...

This guide to setup a separate EFI partition worked for me, boots perfectly without the USB stick now. Woo, etc http://www.tonymacx86.com/401-install-bootloader-extra-efi-partition.html

I'd appreciate knowing the steps you went through too, I have the Z97e, and I can't get the Yosemite install to boot on its own without the usb. I'm assuming the UEFI config is pretty similar. *edit* Never mind, sorted now.

A little cartoon man is talking me through the various functions of the UEFI. I don't know if it's going to be any help but it's certainly adorable.

Hey Clipper, I'm assuming it's trying to boot from the SSD I installed Yosemite to, as this error occurs when it's the only drive in the system, or if I explicitly choose to boot from it on startup. If the USB is still in the system, then it ignores the order of precedence in the UEFI settings...

Hey there, I appreciate the suggestion, but I've installed it twice from scratch, and looking through the install guide I can't see anything I've missed. I did come across some advice that suggested I use Clover for UEFI boards, such as this post, but I couldn't get clover to create a bootable...

Hey there. I selected Chimera 4.0.1 as the bootloader when I ran MultiBeast. Should that not have done the trick?

Hello chaps. I've installed OS X on a computer I built, using parts from the buyer's guide (ASRock Z97e-ITX/AC, Intel 4690k, Nvidia GTX 760) using unibeast and multibeast and (almost) everything works! However, it won't boot directly from the SSD, instead requiring the USB drive I installed from...
