My Hackintosh system:
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
160GB SATA HDD
Intel i5 3570K
ATI R7850 2GB
8GB RAM
So all in all I had a pretty perfect/hassle free installation of Yosemite on my machine, which was amazing considering I only realised my hardware was compatible yesterday!
I fixed a couple of issues via driver installs from MultiBeast (got audio working, but that broke my ethernet, so then fixed that...), but the main issue I am having is getting the system to boot without using the UniBeast USB stick I made...
So firstly, with installing the Chimera bootloader I was expecting to be magically shown a list of OSs upon boot and be able to choose one or set one as default... For whatever reason that doesn't happen, so every time I power on my PC I have to hold 'F12' to manually select my OS X drive.
Secondly, when I try to boot from that HDD, I get a screen that looks like this:
(note - not my screenshot, but this is the same problem as others have had)
I did a search for 'boot0 done' + garbled text, and have had several suggestions:
First I tried both methods fromboot0 Error: The Official Guide, with the hope that one of those might fix it. It did not.
Then I found somebody who said I should use a program called Chameleon to fix it, but that left me with a new error (something about 'can't find /mach_kernel').
Some have said it's the GPU I'm using, but if I can boot Yosemite fine from the USB, it's probably not that...right?
Others said I needed to re-install but create a tiny 250MB partition on my hard drive in addition to my main OS X partition, which solved this issue for some....
And finally others have dissuaded people from using the UniBeast/MultiBeast tools and have suggested there are better ways to create a Hackintosh installation....!
But before I go trying any more solutions, does anyone here have any suggestions?
