PippoX0 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 OSX El Capitan I prepared USB pen manually , added FakeSMC and NullCPUPowerManagement, installed MBR patch and Enoch 2725 --- > now updated to last release ... <key>DSDT</key> <string>/Extra/dsdt.aml</string> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32x60</string> <key>Instant Menu</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v kext-dev-menu=1 rootles=0</string> <key>Rescan</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>SMBIOS</key> <string>/Extra/smbios.plist</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> <key>USBBusFix</key> <string>Yes</string> My first attempt was faulty : no way to boot , so i switched to clover, then i found how to fix I add USBBusFix to org.chameleon.boot.plist Now my last configuration is <key>CsrActiveConfig</key> <string>103</string> <key>DSDT</key> <string>/Extra/dsdt.aml</string> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32x60</string> <key>Instant Menu</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v </string> <key>Rescan</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>SMBIOS</key> <string>/Extra/smbios.plist</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> <key>USBBusFix</key> <string>Yes</string> To get QE/CI on VGA i have used the same method i found some times ago (Thanks RevoGirl) , i patched frame buffer and insert IGPU in DSDT. Device (IGPU) { Name (_ADR, 0x00020000) Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x06) { "AAPL,snb-platform-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00 }, "hda-gfx", Buffer (0x0A) { "onboard-2" }, "device-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x12, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00 } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } For Audio i injected HDEF on DSDT and i use a modified AppleHDA. kext (Thanks Toleda) ( the same that works from OSX 10.7 to 10.11) Device (HDEF) { Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000) Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (Package (0x02) { 0x0D, 0x05 }) } Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x06) { "hda-gfx", Buffer (0x0A) { "onboard-2" }, "layout-id", /**** Is ResourceTemplate, but EndTag not at buffer end ****/ Buffer (0x04) { 0x79, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00 }, "PinConfigurations", Buffer (Zero) {} }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } For Network i installed RealtekRTL8111.kext GenericUSBHXCI.kext doesn't work on 10.11 - i'm looking for a solution When all was fine , then i created my personal Chameleon Theme to boot all OSXs Cheers PippoX0 These Kexts are for OSX 10.7 to 10.11 RealtekRTL8111.kext.zip AppleHDA.kext.zip NEC Renesas uPD720200 FIX GenericUSBXHCI.kext.zip --> This works up OSX 10.10 but ... UPDATE Vanilla way I was looking for a more Vanilla solution , so i used this AppleUSBXHCI.kext patched --> for OSX 10.9.x and 10.10.x HERE and i'm trying to patch by myself following the guide (Thanks Shiecldk and Zenith432) for OSX Lion 10.7 and OSX Montain Lion ... These Kext are specific for OSX 10.11 Intel HD3000 VGA fix OSX 10.11.zip How to Multiboot I began installing OSX Lion some times ago , on dual boot with windows XP. First i have resize partitions from windows to make some space for OSX. So at every OSX new release, i shrink data partition of 20-25 Gb and create a new empty partition for the new S.O. The trick is to maintain active partition on ( i.e. OSX Lion partition) where i have installed Chameleon ( and which i update when it get to old to boot new SO). Every OSX partition has its own /Extra folder with specific Kexts or configuration, so i can fix if needed. The good is that i selected a set of Kexts that are working from OSX Lion To OSX El Capitan ... I have updated each OSX to its maximum release ... 10.7.5, 10.8.5, 10.9.5 , 10.10.5 The DSDT.aml , smbios iMac12.1 are the same for all, and with Chameleon Enoch i can boot all OSX versions. I Patched AppleRTC to avoid reset Bios after sleep and i also injected RTC patch in DSDT.aml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PippoX0 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Live Backup I'm using Carbon Copy Cloner to backup all my OSX on external SSD so even in the worst case, i can restore in minutes. BTW having live backup of OSX let me boot from SSD if i have troubles . Each partition can be backuped/restored without affecting the other installations Benefit When i have to try a new computer i use Live Backup OSX to see if it boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Cute_Kitty_ Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 hi! I'm trying to install some sort of MacOS on the Gigabyte GA-H67MA-USB3-B3 right now! I can't get Clover to work at all, I've had no luck with the hard drive and HDD. In high sierra I can get to the installer screen but disk utility reports my hard drive as being "unintialized" Can you share more on how to make the Enoch USB so I can get this thing working? I have the Yosemite app, and I'm fine with using it instead of HighSierra if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
