SSD not Recognized as Bootable after Install

[tinomen]

I thought of using that solution but decided I will wait for a real fix to be issued.
There are many issues with Yosemite right now so hopefully something is in the works.

Yeah, I wish I had waited. Not only was this a pain to get this far, it looks like some of the changes in 10.10 are going to lead to a more complicated hackintosh life.

Following the EFI setup mentioned by hackbox187 got me booting from the SSD so now I'm off to getting audio working

10.10 has not been fun so far.
A few nice things but some seriously annoying ones.
On My macbook air the wifi used to go out every 5 minutes.
Saw many others online with the issue, I did a full wipe and installed and so far so good as long as the Bluetooth is off.

Now for hackintosh, still no new update to fix the boot issue and usb 3.0 does not work
Will keep searching and try to keep this open.

Was planning to upgrade this Christmas but I am guessing I may do it sooner

I've found that it's possible to revert the Logical Volume to a standard partition without losing content!

After Yosemite installation, when you reboot using Unibeast key, open a terminal.

Type: diskutil list

You will find the Logical Volume UUID, in my case, 426118D9-EA6A-49AB-B92F-686DF1F9B325

$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *128.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage 127.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Yosemite SSD *126.8 GB disk1
Logical Volume on disk0s2
426118D9-EA6A-49AB-B92F-686DF1F9B325
Unencrypted

Use the following command to "revert" the logical volume to a standard partition and also remove Core Storage:

diskutil cs revert 426118D9-EA6A-49AB-B92F-686DF1F9B325

The command take only a few seconds, then you have to reboot.

You will now have the following:

diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *128.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Yosemite SSD 127.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3

Multibeast and Clover will be able to install their boot loader as it should normally!

After yosemite installation, when you reboot using unibeast key, open a terminal.

Type: Diskutil list

you will find the logical volume uuid, in my case, 426118d9-ea6a-49ab-b92f-686df1f9b325

$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0

2: Apple_corestorage 127.2 gb disk0s2

multibeast and clover will be able to install their boot loader as it should normally!

This worked for me. And I now have working audio from the 892 codec however I'll stick with the USB audio as it isn't laggy at all.

Thanks, hackbox187, for figuring this out for us less technically inclined people.
