![]() As such it's easer to start with a OS X version that is stable rather than fighting/debugging multiple problems caused by a new boot loader and a new version of OS X. Getting the system to boot via Clover is one of the hardest parts of this new build and took me a long time to find a working solution. I recommend starting with a working Mavericks build (as detailed in my first guide). My main goal for this new build was to switch to using Clover as the boot-loader, primarily because it has much better support for injecting NVRAM values over legacy based boot-loaders, however Clover offers many other useful features such as dynamic kext patching at boot time allowing the use of Native / Vanilla Apple kexts which means that you can update the OS and all the laptop devices should continue to work without having to re-installing custom or modified Kexts. It's possible that this method of installing Clover may help others with laptops other than Sony Vaio 'S' that use the Insyde H20 BIOS - as long as you can find an updated/modded BIOS that enables UEFI booting it should work (the attached BIOS utilities and ROMS are for Sony S series only !!) however there are no guaranties and i'm not responsible for any data loss or hardware problems you may encounter by using this guide. ![]() In order to negate these problems you must flash your BIOS with a modified BIOS that allows for Hybrid EFI boot support and access to the normally hidden ‘Advanced’ menu. I was not able to get Clover to work correctly in legacy mode no matter what boot and disk configuration I used, the only way I was able to get Clover working correctly was in a hybrid EFI mode, unfortunately almost all official Sony S series BIOS's do not support UEFI booting and those that do will only boot white-listed EFI files. There are many guides on installing Clover and Yosemite on this and other forums, however I found none of them worked with the Sony SE2 laptop, most of the issues seem to be down to limitations imposed by the Insyde-H20 BIOS which the first and second generation Sony S series laptops use. This guide is a follow on to my previous Mavericks Install Guide and although specifically written for use on a Sony Vaio SE2 (VPCSE2C5E) laptop ( see my original guide), it should work on Sony SA / SB & SC VAIO S series laptops as long as you have a stable DSDT and a working kext for your trackpad if it is not a Synaptics one. The script also opens the Volumes folder to see if there are 'failed' mount folders - from previous attempts, cluttering up the folder.- No attempt is made to remove failed mount folders, as it's too risky for a simple Applescript.Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide ![]() So, there's that.- After any share fails, you can say "yes" to the question to open the Terminal so you- can try to determine why it might not work. ![]() Here's my code I've developed to mount several cifs shares (mine are for DFS network shares) - mount CIFS shares.app- D Zurn- Edit the section below to add the specific shares you want to mount whenthe app is run.- The list of mounted volumes is good, the list of failed mounts sometimes includes - mounts that really DID succeed.
