Install Guide : Intel Haswell NUC Core i5 (D54250WYK) V4 (Yosemite 10.10.4)

[cheesehead9546]

Is there any possibility it will work? Are there any guides for the i7?

Is there any possibility it will work? Are there any guides for the i7?

Maybe I didnt make myself clear enough in my previous post : 'has not been tested on any other model'

You should start using the forum search function to research the model you are interested in, which is not on the supported hardware list in this guide.

Followed the instructions and the first time, I spelled GraphicsEnabler=No as GraphicEnabler=No and it didn't proceed to OSX screen. Fixed that and it did, Formatted the mSata SSD and proceeded with install.

At reboot, I didn't select F10 and and it came up with the Boot screen with USB and Yosemite - chose USB and hit space and entered -v text...

Read files etc. but eventually stops at black screen with "System uptime in nanoseconds: "

Has various errors showing on the screen like;

"Could not read path: path = /Library/LaunchAgents, error = 2: No such file or directory"

and

"Debugger called: <panic>
Backtrace (CPU 3), Frame : Address

then various memory addresses....

Any ideas?

I tried re-creating the USB key... tried again and same thing... won't boot to the OSX screen

Swapped memory sticks to different slots and put USB key into different USB port. Tried maxmem=16384
Tried switching off NUC and disconnecting power for minutes, no change

Thanks

Removed my updated Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth card - Same Problem

 

[GreyPaint]

Removed memory cards, one at a time - same
Deleted appleacpiec kext as that was first error.... no difference

Installed Ubuntu to check system working as normal.. All ok

Try adding -no-zp to the boot flags.

Use the same boot flags as you did in the last screenshot with the above added.

Leave the wifi out for the time being until the install is complete and booting on its own then add it back in.

Can you update the files to work for 10.10.5 ?

Hey Wonkey, I was having the same issues as GreyPaint.... Tried a bunch of additional boot args, -x -f PCIRootUID=0, -no-zp, and nothing.... Either the endless loop as GreyPaint showed or a kernel panic. Went online and found a patched kernel file for 10.10.5 from insanelymac and sure enough it got through to the installation screen. Even though the patched kernel file is for z87 motherboards, not sure if it 100% compatible with our NUCs, but got me going..... Will let you guys know how everything turns out....

Thanks
I manage to make your guide to work with 10.10.5
The only difference is that I used a patched kernel for 10.10.5 from here

My only problem is that I cannot boot without the -v UseKernelCache=No flags

Any idea?

never mind found it

Thanks for the fine job
