I'm getting an error = 107 Malformed bundle for KeynoteConverterXPCService32.xpc, PagesConverterXPCService32.xpc and NumberConverterXPCService32.xpc; is there anything specific I should be doing here?

Do we use the same exact steps to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Yosemite or would anything have to be done differently?

Just wanted to say THANK YOU GUYS ! You Rock ! My 2 years old CustoMac Pro (from your buyers guide 2 years ago) works flawlessly I performed update from Mountain Lion (!!!) and everything went great.Of course except one small issue which I had already with ML. On first boot, installation was stuck at loading bar. I had to boot yosemite into safe mode and install drivers using multi beast. After that operation, everything works great !!

Having trouble with first boot after update.

I cloned my Mavericks system so I could test, followed the instructions from the first page, booted using -x -f -v, installed Yosemeti over Mavericks. Successful install, boot again from the USB - but cannot boot into Yosemti to run Multibeast. The farthest I have gotten is by using kext-dev-mode=1 -v, which gets me to a screen that tells me it was not installed correctly and with four choices (reboot, restart, etc) and then soon after the entire system shuts down. What am I doing wrong, or what am I missing?

Thank you everyone for the thread. I had read through and couldn't find too much help for my problem.

2 weeks ago my mother board fried and I had to get a new one ASAP. Originally I had a Gigabyte Z77 1155 chipset mobo. I was going to replace it but the specific mobo I had was so much more expensive than when I bought it and it was also not able to be delivered in time.

I decided to upgrade to a Gigabyte Z97X-UD7-TH with a processor to go with it. I rebuilt the system and got it moving.

Before my last mobo shorted out, I was running ML 10.8.5. I am currently using that SSD from my main machine to type this message from my macbook pro. I currently have no way of backing up my HDD.

I have a few simple (and probably stupid) questions. In the past, when I installed an OS over my previous OS it replaced all of the data with the new OS. All of my programs and such were gone. I just want to confirm that if I install Yosemite over ML, my applications and data will still be present in the next boot.

I had already removed the files that were suggested in the guide. I also edited org.chameleon.Boot.plist as said in the guide. I am about to follow the next steps on my macbook pro because when I boot this SSD on my hack, I can't access internet.

If anyone has any help or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. I urgently need this computer up and running so I can render some animations that I made to projection map this black tie charity event this weekend. Thank you so much in advance.

PS - sorry about the offensive name on here.. it is a band name

Okay. I didn't have time to waste. I was able to make a clone of my original SSD (thankfully) and so I installed Yosemite. I got Yosemite to boot with only 1x8GB stick of ram and working from the Intel Integrated Graphics.

I tried to install my EVGA GTX 660 Ti video card. I went into the BIOS settings and disabled Intel Integrated Graphics, Save & Exit, and now I am going through the forever boot loop. My computer never even gets to the motherboard BIOS entry screen. It just powers on then shuts off and then repeats that loop forever.

I could surely use some help with this issue. I will continue my research to resolve this as well.

Working on an upgrade from 10.9.x to 10.10.2.

When I rebooted normally and chose to boot from USB, I got the mach_kernel error.

I rebooted and switched my BIOS around and let the BIOS boot from USB, and then I got a kernel panic.

I turned the machine off and let it wait a minute or so and then tried again (BIOS boot to USB) and it seems to have worked.

After rebooting into Yosemite and running MultiBeast, I rebooted again without the USB. This time there's an Apple logo with an eternal progress bar underneath. It is advancing, just ridiculously slowly.

UPDATE: the progress bar eventually stopped moving altogether. Booting in safe mode worked OK. I ended up rebooting to safe single-user mode and removing some of the MultiBeast KEXTs I had installed. After that, I tried redoing the MultiBeast setup a little more carefully and it seems to have worked. I think it was an erroneous network driver that caused the problem.

Followed this guide and still get Cant find /mach_kernel. This is with Unibeast 5.1 not sure what im missing. Tried all the boot flags always get this error. Any help would be great.
