Hello,

I have got an IMac 24'' with 2GB of Ram, 250GB Hdd, 7300 GT, intel Core2Duo

http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-24-inch-specs.html

This iMac is not official supported for Yosemite, so I tried to install Apple OS X Yosemite.....it works but very unstable. After Boot up while signing in the mac stops working :beachball: mouse is running

Sometimes I can sign in to iMac .....running OS X Yosemite without drivers for the built in 7300 GT.
Can somebody help me? Should I type in some Bootflags before Booting up? Does anyone knew kext/Drivers for the built in MXM 7300 GT?

Another problem is that the iMac will not boot from a CD with 10.6.3 or the MultiBeast Installation/Boot stick. Yesterday I opened the iMac and built a new HDD in with pre installed Mac OS X Yosemite (installed on my HacPro).

P.S. sorry for my English
 
Your video card prevents proper working of yosemite
a 7300 gt is defunct for anything beyond lion.
There are no kexts to fake it.
If Snow will not go cd..check cd or make an apple installer on usb stick.
( this is all over the net..how to make stick )..
Do not use Tonymac software... there is no need...
If Yosemite ever boots or runs ..it still will not work right due to video card.
You could also insert Snow disk in hack and do a target drive install with firewire...

I can not tell what you mean with hard drive....
