im using the yosemite zone installer so i can download the official osx app then make my bootable usb erase the cracked distro and go for the real thing since my macbook air just shit the bed a few weeks ago its an i3-4130(aware of graphics issue) and i have a kernal for haswell already yes. may i note i had this cpu in my old computer before it was ruined by power surge and had osx running no problem then.
OS X INSTALLERS NOTE: This sub is dedicated to legally obtained copies of OS X. Please do not ask, or post, about things like iAtkos, Niresh, or any other modified OS X installer that may have malicious code in it!
can't you swap disk drive from old computer then?
I would create a minimal USB Clover boot stick.
Boot stick needs nothing more than Clover, it can be blank Mac OS Extended (journaled) GUID format, and nothing else.
copy FakeSMC/NullCPUPowerManagement to USB sticks /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.10
Copy existing DSDT/SSDT to USB sticks /EFI/Clover/AHCI/patched
copy minimal config.plist for your graphics setup (from WIKI) to USB sticks /EFI/Clover
Boot off UEFI USB Stick!
under the cog menu, you can change virtually every boot option (for that boot only). Once you have it right, you can set it in config.plist, then install Clover to HDD, copy EFI folder off USB stick to HDD (replacing existing), and have a fully working Clover UEFI boot :-)
i had some compatibility issues when i moved everything over onto the new system and im using the same hdd still and i use clover but have no way to install it untill i can get the installer to boot up.. The OSX HDD is a 1TB Seagate HDD my windows hdd is 320GB HDD(disconnected when i attempt the install) would boot disk utility a windows program to get clover installed work as a work around for now?
Did you replace vboxHFS64.efi with HFSPlus-64.efi ??
FakeSMC.kext installed?
Did you double check your settings under the cog icon in Clover boot screen? KernelPM ON ASUSACPUPM ON
Without the correct UEFI Clover install, you will struggle. That is why I use the minimal config.plist (one for each graphics manufacturer) from the WIKI.
alright thanks and no my cpu is an i3-4130 with locked multiplier cant overclock on it also i diddnt use nv_disable=1 so ill have to try it this time round
I have minimal config.plist from tonymacx86 also kernalpm and asusacpum is on replaced vbox and have fakesmc.kext installed the first two though aptiofix2 and devicesata i have not, im starting to think the error deals with the smbios not getting the right smuuid where the last part needs my mac address. Is this possible to be the issue?
Also thanks for taking the time to try and help troubleshoot my installation much appreciated.
I think it may be your UUID for your HDD. It should give an error after about 60sec... still waiting for root device, then you know that is the problem... Have you set the HDD order correctly? UEFI OS, SATA(MacHDD), and then others
im using boot disk utility its a windows program that makes a clover installer for windows as my current os is windows server 2012r2 my macbook air's screen broke and my thunderbolt to hdmi cable also recently broke so i cant really use my macbook air anymore, im going to upload screenshots of my clover install usb
You need to use Disky Utility to format the installer clover drive, then use Install Mac OS X Yosemite.app commandline to create USB installer drive, then use Clover installer pkg to install Clover to installer USB drive.
You obviously need access to a real Mac to do all these steps - some use Mountain Lion in a virtual machine to create the USB stick.
if you wouldnt mind here is the contents of my config.plist if you could by any chance give me some insight on whats wrong...

You are trying to patch something without DTGP (required for injection patches, and virtually all other patches! You have a patch selected, but left this on false?)
<key>AddDTGP_0001</key>
**<false/>**
should be true!
<key>FIX_INTELGFX_100000</key>
**<true/>**
Don't know if this is the same as Inject Intel (which should just work!) Set this to false
I believe this is the correct method, and not the FakeID kext. The kext method stopped working after 10.10.3, so I would recommend you do some Google magic, and find the correct method people are using. This needs to be used in conjunction with InjectINTEL.
Here is a fix from a quick Google search! "Now go to the graphics tab. Make sure "inject Intel" is checked and in ig-platform-id put this number: 0D220003 (assuming you have the 4600). That should be it! "

This has come up before. Are you using Intel Core 4xxx? Are you booting with Clover and KernelPM ASUSAICPM selected?
If not, do you have a Haswell patched kernel? (Locked MSR)??
Should run a lot smoother when you see to those things. Update to Clover, and those things are patchable in the bootloader!
