Zotac ID91 Hackintosh Yosemite Clover Install Guide

By March 16, 2016Interest

This guide is written to get you up and running with the latest OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with Clover bootloader.  I used to use MultiBeast but it took a while to learn Clover, however the advantages are worth the learning curve.  This guide should get you up and running on a Zotac ID91 – a perfect <$400 hackintosh!

Pre-Requisites:

  • Download latest OS X Yosemite on a Mac – or find it on the bitttorrents
  • 8GB or greater USB Key
  • Software:

Latest Clover bootloader from Sourceforge

1.  Format an 8gb or greater USB Key with 1 partition – GUID boot loader – and OS X Journled partition.

2.  Run the following – replacing XXX with the location of your USB Drive.
[raw]sudo /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/XXX/ –applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app –no interaction[/raw]

This will extract Yosemite onto your USB Key

3.  Install Clover – with following settings

Now we must mount the EFI Partition and add our Extensions to the 10.10 kexts folder to make things work ootb.

To mount your EFI Partition, use

[raw]diskutil list[/raw]

Determine your drive and EFI Partition and mount with

[raw]diskutil mount disk1s1[/raw]

Add the following kexts to your EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.10 folder –

AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext
ApplePS2Controller.kext
FakeSMC.kext
lspcidrv.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext

Restart with the new USB Key

Goto Options > Binaries Patching Menu >  Kernel PM Patch and hit spacebar to enable it

Boot the installer

Format your boot drive with GUID bootloader and Mac OS X Journaled

Stuck in a reboot loop?

Remember if you restart at this point, the Kernel PM must be enabled each time – until we install Clover on the main boot drive –
