Hey,
I've been trying to make my sister's Aspire E1-572G Laptop to install Mac OS, but it doesn't seem to work.
INTRODUCTION:
I managed to install Mac OS 10.10 a few weeks ago, but would crash within a couple minutes (I think that's due to a plugged in USB, on reflection... seen this happen on my PC).
However, at the time I decided to make a clean install, thinking there was a problem with the installation, I formatted the partition I had Mac OS 10.10.x (x is because I can't quite remember which exact version I had).
I decided to take on the challenge once more several days ago, after managing to get it installed on my main PC, which is supposed to be even harder to get to work. I was quite excited, because it is something that is so incompatible, it's unreal.
To think I found it easier to install it on that PC than on my sister's laptop, is rather odd, but kind of satisfying. Makes me believe I can get this to work on the laptop, especially when knowing that others managed to get it work.
-------------------------------
OK, getting to the point:
When a few days ago I successfully installed the Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite on the laptop for a second time, I noticed that when I would try and boot into Mac OS, it would prompt the Apple logo, then cut out and restart.
I heard this happens when not using the /haswell boot argument, but it doesn't seem to work on this particular laptop. Now, I do remember this happening before, and I had to use some boot arguments, but I couldn't remember which combination I had to use to get it work.
Any ideas?
Specifications:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4200U
GPU: AMD RADEON HD8670M 1GB
RAM: 6GB DDR3
HDD: 1TB - Windows 10 500GB Partition & 300GB Mac OS 10.10 Partition.
Note: I installed Mac OS X without the use of boot arguments (worked fine) on a clean partition in UEFI.
Also Note: There BIOS is very restricted... Little more than boot order and password setting can be done. No CPU, GPU, PCI, etc settings can be changed.
