Anybody with the "Essentials.pkg" Error

[lieder1987]

I will try it again tomorrow as the only boot flag. I was using maxmem as well so maybe they are conflicting.

Any other ideas for this?

So I was able to finish the install with -x -no-zp. On the restart the same -x -no-zp took me to a blank screen but then I tried -x maxmem=4096, that worked & was able to run multibeast to get everything running. Typing this from my now from the same machine.

Try to boot with the flag" -no-zp" (no quotes).. I kept getting that error and this is what finally fixed it for me. Hope this helps someone.

Thank you! This worked for me.

I tried this with no success at all. Is not problem of MBR or GUID because i tried both with the same result.

Perhaps you need the "legacy usb support" in the installer.

Was having the same problem. Mine only worked after using maxmem=4096 -v -f -x.

I just wanted to chime in and say that this isn't a hackintosh problem, but a Yosemite problem, since i got the same error on my '09 macbook pro when trying to upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite... doing a fresh install solved my problems. Make a time machine backup first though.

Only using the flag -no-zp doesn't do it for me, I'm trying a couple different combos as I go along as well.
I'm going to try re-making the USB Installer soon, if i can manage to reboot into my Mavericks install
Haven't tried the maxmem flag yet as i haven't gotten a KP so far.
EDIT: maxmem actually caused a kernel panic, so there's that.
I should add that I'm trying to install onto my DIY Fusion Drive, if that makes a difference
