the link in the paragraph below to the commit browser doesn't work because there is a , in the URL.


"I want to update Clover. How do I do that?

When you install Clover, it offers to install a PrefPane. That is the official way to update. I'm not a fan of that though, as those builds are always a few days old. If you see a fix you want in https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefi...commit_browser, chances are good it is not in the latest release build. The PrefPane is a perfectly reasonable way to update (even more normal: don't update unless something is broken and you know the current build fixes it). That said..."

It doesn't work. Modifying the installer in anyway breaks it. Installing Clover on it is modifying it which breaks it. It's not a suggestion.

Just to comment, I used the createinstallmedia command to create my usb Yosemite installer. Then I installed clover to that same usb drive and had zero problems installing OSX on two very different systems. (An Intel NUC haswell and my z77 ivy bridge system)

Huh. I'll go validate that and give it a go. Another user I was testing the guide with said that modifying the USB drive broke the Install drive, so I put that line in. I never thought to test it, I always used multiple drives. I'll test and update, thanks.

That is the guide I followed the very first time

so i'm trying to do the dual boot thing using boot camp assistant in Yosemite.

So far using boot camp assistant I have been able to make a bootable windows 8.1 installer, and then the computer restarts. I can then see 3 boot options in clover.
*Microsoft EFI mgr
*Microsoft CD boot
*Windows on [disk]
Attempting to boot into the first two runs something, then returns to the bootloader.
The third, the screen just has a blinking underscore and does nothing until i ctrl-alt-del to reboot the machine.

any ideas?

Bring up the boot menu in your bios. Find the PX version of your drive (in the boot menu, you'll see the drive and it will begin with a P_ 'tag') and boot that.

I don't have one with a P_ in front of it, but the usb drive is listed twice. There is a listing with UEFI and one without. When i choose the one without UEFI it just does the blinking cursor thing.

That means the drive was imaged incorrectly/the image is invalid in some way. Use Rufus to put the OS installer on the drive.

I used Rufus and now i've got my Windows 8.1 partition up and running. thanks!

The USB 3.0 ports on my motherboard (asus p8z77v) don't seem to want to work....

I use a P8Z77-V LX and all my USB ports are working (as far as i can tell).

El Capitan is out. Build is newer than the GM seed.

I am updated and installed. I have no idea if USB 3.0 is working or not. Otherwise, everything seems to be working great!
