I'm at my wits end here. I've been working on this issue off and on since November!!!
I'm no noob. Been doing the Hackintosh thing since the very beginning. My rig has been running Mavericks just fine but for the life of me I can't get Yosemite to boot without the safe mode flag "-x", which of course renders the system useless.
I'm convinced it's a graphics issue but from what I can gather the GT 620 card should work right out of the box.
I've tried both Clover and Chimera. I could never get Clover to work with the EFI partition (yes it is formatted FAT32).
I'm using these flags on boot:
-v kext-dev-mode=1 PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x2000
I've tried with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and No.... neither work.
Either it just hangs while the verbose text is still visible or gets to a solid gray screen and then hangs.
I've never had so much trouble with a Hackintosh build before. I'm ready to throw in the towel.
Anyone have any suggestions? You're help is greatly appreciated. I just spend $200 on a new 512GB SSD drive. Would love to be able to use it.
