bootloader

Hi there. I successfully installed El Capitan using TonyMac's clover unibeast, and I just got around installing windows today. But I noticed something strange.... When I disconnected all my drives, there were still two boot options available. Both had the name "Mac OS X" on them. I was always...

I managed to get OS X El Capitan to run on my Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H build alongside Windows 10. However, I need to get a boot loader, presumably Clover, in order to boot without my Install USB. I haven't touched the boot loader or any of the post-installation tools yet out of fear that they...

Alright, so i got good news and bad news. Good news for everyone who has trouble with Clover and El Capitan, and bad news for People with old Boards with no DSDT and shutdown problems mostly... The good news is that the Chameleon Enoch Installer by our French friend @insanelymac works...

I am trying to install the yosemite 10.10.5 with unibeast but it fails to load from usb. The apple logo come and at the 1/4 of the progress bar the screen goes black. I have tried bunch of boot flags with different combination they didn't work. I deleted the nvdia kexts and try again. It didnt...

Only Booting from UniBeast I've searched the internet, but i've found no solution to my problem. After the 10.10.5 update when i rebooted my computer i got these 2 lines on my screen before getting to the BootLoader: Boot0:GPT Boot0:done On the internet i've looked for the problem, but...

1. I install Yosemite successfully onto a separate partition (40GB). 2. After some time I upgrade my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 which is in another partition (I have in total 4 partitions), and as y'all know of course, the bootloader is going to be overwritten after upgrading Windows. 3. And so...

Hello, I have successfully installed yosemite on intel pc with clover usb installer... then I installed Chameleon wizard Bootloader but it says while booting SMBIOS NOT FOUND... but it boots perfectly with clover USB installer drive... i also created a Extra/smbios.plist using chameleon wizard...

Hi I got some probelems with my bootloader. I use a dual boot Windows 10 and Yosemite, but I want to select Windows as the standart boot in chameleon. --So when my Pc starts it looks like this:-- As you see there is a "?" behind Windows 10 and I do not know how to get it away, also the "i" is...

I run the Clover installer, UEFI boot, install to ESP, check the EFI partition, etc etc.. no matter what, reboot, there is Chimera 4.1 bootloader. tried to format the EFI and redo, same thing.. almost like i am stuck with chimera forever. any ideas? Gigabyte X99-UD5 Wifi

hey tonymacx community, about a week ago i decided to try to build a hackintosh with my PC. In hindsight i probably didnt know enough about computers to begin this endeavor but i went along anyway and came across a very frustrating roadblock. I followed MW Technology's tutorial(...

Hello everyone! After I had installed Mountain Lion via UniBeast on my Hackintosh, I decided to follow this guide to install Chimera onto the 200 MB EFI partition. It all went well, until I tried to install Windows 7 Professional on a 350 GB NTFS partition I had previously created during OS X...

I was able to successfully install Yosemite 10.10.4 on Acer Aspire 5741-3404 including getting graphics acceleration and proper display resolution (Arrandale processor integrated graphics). Almost everything worked Wifi (toledaARPT kext ;) ) , sound and camera. Later I could not reboot again...

Hey all, first of all, I'd like to inform you that I'm completely new to Hackintosh, and pretty much Mac in general. I play with Linux, but most of the time I'm (unfortunately) Win user. Hope to change that :) I'll start with my HW setup: Motherboard Asus Maximus V Gene (Micro ATX Z77)...

So Im using clover for yosemiite because it used the real boot.efi for the boot logo. When booting the bar loads about 1/4 of the way then the screen flickers for around 5 seconds then I'm at the desktop. Is there a way to make fix this issue. I want it to be smooth transition like a real mac.

Hi everyone, I am trying my hand at making a Hackintosh for the first time, specifically installing OS X Yosemite on my UX32LN laptop from Asus (specs should be in my profile, if something is missing please point it out to me). I have been using this guide for the Clover bootloader to the best...

Hello. I recently setup my hackintosh build. :D My parts are: CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k Mobo: MSI z97 LGA1150 Gaming 5 Ram: Hyper x fury 1600mhz 2x4gb SSD: Samsung 850 EVO series 250 GB HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 970 4GB Strix PSU: Corsair CX 750W semi-modular ATX...

Hi, I recently installed Yosemite successfully on my custom built rig. I used the Unibeast+Multibeast method. I couldn't boot with Chimera so I decided to go for Clover. I followed Bob Roche's (cpukid's) tutorial on how to install clover as a boot loader. It worked fine but at the end I get a...

So as you may have guessed it I just installed a copy of Yosemite on my machine. My specs are listed on my profile but I am having some issues with the sound driver. My motherboard uses an Realtek ALC 887 codec and I cant figure out which kext to install on Multibeast. To sum it all up these are...

I was trying to update to Yosemite and accidentally edited /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plistby adding these two lines of code<key>Kernel</key> <string>/System/Library/Kernels/kernel</string> without thinking too much about it. It fixed the USB problem of it saying it "couldn't find mach_kernel but...

I’m building a new rig. I chose most of my parts from the CustoMac Buyer’s Guide for maximum compatibility. I’m going to install Windows 8.1 on one HDD and OSX Yosemite on the other HDD. I will be booting into Windows by default as it is the OS I use most of the time. What is the best way to...
