Installation
Followed the instructions on:
How To Install OS X Yosemite Using Clover
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html
Create USB installation drive according to the guide
Apply the following Clover settings
UEFI only
- Install for UEFI booting only
- Install Clover in the ESP
- EmuVariableUefi-64 (install)
- OsxAptioFixDrv-64 (install)
UEFI only provides faster boot time, better hardware detection, native Mac OS X Installation process and Auto create Recovery HD, working iCloud and iMessage to name a few. But in general you will achieve an almost perfect Mac Pro clone that will most likely survive all future System updates.
Further changes to the default Clover Installation:
SMBIOS part of config.plist may be as follow
<key>SMBIOS</key>
<dict>
<key>ProductName</key>
<string>MacPro6,1</string>
<key>SerialNumber</key>
<string>InsertHere</string>
</dict>
Copy the follwing to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10
- AppleIntelE1000e.kext
- NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
- FakeSMC.kext
OS X Installation
- Boot from USB into Clover and install OS X
- After reboot apply the latest Kext Utility v2.5.8
- Ethernet is working now
Optimization
- VodooHDA installation
- Trim support enabled: https://gist.github.com/return1/4058659
Summary
Following the installation guidelines on tonymac86 is a good starting point. Final configuration tasks are very system specific and need to be done with Clover Configurator. So you are probably asking what works and what doesn't.
What works
Sleep
iMessage
Power management
USB 3.0
Thunderbold
Trim
Audio only with VoodooHDA
Update 10.10.1
- Working with the App Store update
Trim Support
Use Clover Configurator and follow this steps:
go to Kernel and Kext Patches add a new row
in name put IOAHCIBlockStorage
in find hex put 004150504C452053534400
in replace hex put 0000000000000000000000
in comment you can write what you want (a description for example)
in InfoPlistPatch leave it as is (unchecked)
Save and reboot.
Nvidia Support
