Keema, can you provide the conflig.plist and KEXT files you used for your install?

You'll probably need the "USBInjectAll.kext" file. when I couldn't reach my installer, it had to do with the fact that I wasn't loading all USB devices on boot.

actually I can boot the usb, see the apple logo and the full process loading kernel from usb.. but just at the end the screen goes dark and sometimes the pc restart ....

I have no idea ...

I've tried with all the EFI folder posted on that thread ...

white flag :crazy:

that's why I asked Keema how they got theirs going. I'm stuck in the Reboot loop... when it tries to install.

You can try the EFI from my OptiPlex 3040 build. Link is below in my signature.

Above, pastrychef suggested using his EFI files, which he has on the link in his signature. I'm trying that out right now.
