Hi Rehab,
I'm using Chameleon as boot loader. The screen capture is attached.
Kindly advise, thanks.
Hi ReHab,
Please see screen capture, the flags u advised still unable to boot from the HD.
In addition, from the link, have tried the InjectIntel-ig flag with all the values doing trial & error still has the same result.
Please advise. thanks.
after many try of installing Yosemite on Dell Vostro 5470, I would suggest using Clover as the boot loader. I have success installation by following this guide

The important post installation is to follow this guide by RehabMan

I also copy config.plist, kext from USB created above to the local EFI.
After that will be DSDT editing for Battery Status, Backlight, Sound by following the earlier post on this thread. (I extracted my DSDT from UBUNTU USB, don't forget to get all SSDT which also in dynamic folder and disassemble it all at once, also update IASL in MacIasl before compile.) Big Thanks to RehabMan.
IMessage, Continuity, HandOff are my headace right now.
Hi ReHab,
Thanks for pointing it out. I have managed to to get it to boot from HDD now.
BTW, don't think Clover is easier as I did tried both. After alot of experimenting & reading & seeking advises, I do said Chameleon offer the easiest and fastest way to get it working. For my case, need to boot with the correct boot flag of "GraphicsEnabler=No, MaxMem=4096" in USB stick and patch the kernel for Haswell CPU both on the USB & HDD. No bootup flag needed from HDD. That's all to get a working copy of Yosemite on Vostro 5470 .
Now I'm experimenting to do multi-boot on
1) OS X on mSATA, W8 on SSD
2) W8 on mSATA, OS X on SSD
3) OS X, W8 on same SSD
Think for pt 2 quite promising as almost able to get it working soon. Will need more exploring for pt 1 & 3.
Anyone has used rEFlt or rEFind for multiboot ? as the multiboot describe in the forum using OS X Disk Utility don't work as after setting the Windows partition format to "FAT32", during W8 installation, it complain don't support or some imitation on this partition and refuse to install on the FAT32 partition.
Care to share experiences that work.. Thanks.
