How to Install OS X Mavericks using Clover

I'm getting my shiny new Seagate SSD later on today. I'm thinking of using it as my new boot drive and giving Clover a try. Once installed; can I use migration assistant to bring back my stuff?
 
Clover version before 2721 OK...

Version 2721 error "unknown CPU model 0x3a"

Only issue that I had was installing the req'd bits and pieces fro get my sound working. Wasn't the most obvious thing to do starting out. But once I read the FAQ's... was pretty easy! After that everything just worked! No popping when sounds happen after awhile of silence... and wow... the speed with this SSD!!
 
Hi everybody

i have the same problem as tabarus. The Mavericks installation with clover get stuck at the last point of installation and does not reboot.
After hard reset and manual reboot from stick, i find an empty install disk :(

Did anyone find any solution for that issue ?

thx

Can I install to Fusion Drive?

Should I something for the boot like Neil Fusion Drive Guides?

UEFI Boot Mode means you can make also Dual Mode?
 
Guys I installed clover to Fusion Drive. And I confused little bit some step! Now I must to format all EFI to Fat32 as you know on Fusion Drive there is 2 EFI! What should I do?
 
OK. Hope this might save others some time. The Mavericks install harddrive and recovery partition would never show up in Clover after installation. For GA-Z87X-UD7 TH you must have your Mavericks drive (SSD / HDD) attached to the Intel SATA controller. That's the black SATA connectors on the motherboard not the grey ones.
