Hey All,
First time building a Hackintosh and having a great time getting stumped and figuring out the issues. I'm planning on doing a build post soon, but thought I'd kick my first post off on this forum with a solution, instead of requesting help.
Problem
While attempting to boot up Yosemite 10.10.4 using Clover, the boot would fail and the last line/error displayed when in verbose mode would almost always be (or at least be one of the last lines):
Anyway, after a lot playing with KEXTs, rebuilding the SSDT, a bit more , a lot of searching on this forum, insanelymac, and google without any solution to this problem in sight (just a few posts here and there where people state this issue without a solution), I finally stumbled onto the solution. Thanks to Sndb889's post about his/her successful build with Clover and linking of his config.plist - I was able to successfully boot without receiving the "Waiting on...." error.
A little comparison of his config.plist and my original config.plist (via Clover Configurator) and I have determined which attribute was causing the problem:
Solution
As soon as I unchecked this option and rebooted, I was in business.
My final config.plist is attached below.

Code:
[B]Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>[/B]

DropOEM
Solution
In Clover Configurator -> ACPI UnCheck the "Drop OEM" attribute in the SSDT section.
As soon as I unchecked this option and rebooted, I was in business.
My final config.plist is attached below.
