It worked! Unfortunately, I didn't remove the old Chimera installation, but fortunately, Clover and Chimera can coexist just fine. I tested Clover by booting to the USB drive, then selecting my Yosemite installation.I selected the UEFI Boot Mode and the nVidia graphic options (since I have an older card - essentially the equivalent of 'GraphicsEnabler=Yes' on Chimera). I created a new USB installer via Unibeast 6.2.0.

Turns out I was connected to the drive on my laptop, and the BIOS was set to wake on LAN. I had a weird problem where everytime I shutdown, the computer would shutdown, then restart again. After futzing around, I decided that it was time to put this noble machine to bed.Ĭreated a USB installer and ran through the installation, but kept running into problems, and now hugh is unusable.

(It was /dev/disk2.) Then I ran:ĭiskutil eraseDisk HFS+ usbdrive GPT /dev/disk4Īfter that, I ran Unibeast, and it worked perfectly. I searched, and this post eventually saved me. An equivalent Mac Pro would have cost triple this.īought some new USB drives, but Unibeast kept returning a, 'Couldn't modify plist' error. Total cost was less than $1,300, which is an absolute steal considering the specs.
