Installing OSX Yosemite on Proxmox V4.0-50 - Ebios Read Error

[RemyLan]

hi all,
i'm trying to boot OSX Yosemite on proxmox V4.0-50 but can't make it start.. (Proc : intel Xeon 64Bits)
here's what i've done so far.

Files on Proxmox Host :
- OSX Yosemite installer.iso (converted from Official installer app)
- Bootloader chameleon_2757_boot

To set this up i used the great tutorials provided by will evans and by gabriel Somlo
I see the iso selected by the bootloader

but here's is the error message i get in verbose Mode after i press "Enter"..
" EBIOS read error 0x0c
Block 0xc1b710 Sectors 0 "

Il already did echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs but it didn't changed anything..

see below the args i'm using starting the VM :
args: -machine q35 -device isa-applesmc,osk="OSK-KEY-CHANGED" -kernel /datas/isos/template/iso/chameleon_2757_boot -smbios type=2 -usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse -device ide-drive,bus=ide.2,drive=MacDVD -drive id=MacDVD,if=none,snapshot=on,file=/datas/isos/template/iso/Install_Yosemite.10.10.iso -readconfig /usr/share/qemu-server/pve-q35.cfg

Hi,

At first I had a hard time installing OS X, so I installed it in a VM on a Mac with VMware Fusion. Then I copied the vm disk on Proxmox server. Maybe I could have installed it through Proxmox but I had forgetten that I needed to run this to make OS X boot:

echo "Y"> /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs

My config (with no install dvd as it's already installed):

args: -device isa-applesmc,osk="insert-real-64-char-OSK-string-here" -kernel /var/lib/vz/images/101/chameleon_2773_boot -smbios type=2 -readconfig /usr/share/qemu-server/pve-q35-osx.cfg -device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd -machine q35
