Hi!
Today was my 1st try installing OS X Yosemite on almost the same config.
I did exactly what Shilohh did in his
tutorial, it's quite amazing what i learned, but i'm having a bunch of question which maybe you can answer to make a cleaner instal tomorrow.
1) ABOUT THE BIOS
it looks like mine ( rampage IV Black Edition ) is the
Version 0602, 3 newer version are available.
I didn't upgrade cuz i saw on the web that it can kill the mobo.. ( stop me if i'm wrong, i really discover the land of computer
)
I thought i could give it a try with this version. it looks like it worked since i almost finished the tutorial ( i stoped after nvidia web driver part).
Shilohh talks about the BIOS for R4E that is needed, but not about a good R4BE's version, does someone know if i have to upgrade to have a better result?
2) FOR THE PART NUMBER "9" of his tutorial => "INSTAL KERNEL EXTENSION"
On his picture i can see there's 5 files, when i downloaded his zip, it had only 3, is it normal?
3) FOR THE 9)B) PART OF HIS TUTORIAL => BLUETOOTH
This is really where the thing is getting harder for me.
On his
link, the guy says:
TO INSTALL:
1) Remove any patched kexts (or) Bluetooth enablers installed for Bluetooth and use Apple vanilla Bluetooth kext.
2) Install my kext using your favorite kext installers to /System/Library/Extensions. (Don't install my kext through E/E (or) clover injection).
Do i just have to install his kext (since my system is a fresh new one) or do i have to remove any patched kexts installed for bluetooth even if i didn't installed them.
If yes how could i do that? ( i never went this deep into computers
)
4) FOR THE 9)d) PART => NVIDIA WEB DRIVER
this is where i stopped...i had the feeling that it didn't worked.
I installed the driver and it asked my system to reboot, i had no choice.
Apparently i shouldn't.
After it did, the mouse button was really slow (it was a bit less before) and my monitor was sometime freezing...
I was wondering if my card ( gtx 780 ) was a gk110b or a gk110...i found out that it is a gk110b, so except the fact that my system rebooted, it should be fine no?
I don't really understand his note about it, is Shilohh saying that we should install this web driver when booting for the usb drive?
I really need a hand on this part, should my graphic card works fine after this step or should i continue with this bad quality?
Like i said, i stopped there, i will need to do the DSDT.aml but since my computer has reboot after the nvidia driver, i don't know if it's good for the system to continue from there ( and the graphic card is not working...)
Thanks for your wise advices folks
I let you know if i found interesting stuff!
