markuslagan06 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have seen successful installation of El Capitan on z170x g7 with skylake but I cannot manage to setup final my hackintosh after fresh installation of El Capitan. My build: Gigabyte Z170X Gaming G1, Socket 1151 Bios F6 GTX Titan X 12 gb 64gb Geil Dragon Ram (16gbx4) i7-6700k 4.0 ghz Skylake 3TB Seagate Sata Accomplishments: Configured the bios to make El Capitan USB Installer bootable from scratch. Able to create bootable usb using Clover Patch kext but I don't know which ones are important and/or necessary Able to boot from the HD with El Capitan with usb Working Audio Working USB, 3.0 not checked Bluetooth works Problems: Display is showing but in lowest resolution (so slow) Wifi not working I have no proper DSDT, AML for my mobo. Don't know which set of kexts would be appropriate and necessary. Anyone, please help. Attachment of their dsdt and kexts for the same would be appreciated. I'm just an average user of hackintosh. Please give me a guide, thanks. Note: I have successfully installed El Capitan in my old build: Gigabyte EP35-DS3R, QuadCore 775 Intel 2.5ghz, 8gb ram, 80gb seagate, msi 9600gt with no problems and all are working.

markuslagan06 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Finally! Here's how I resolved the issue without removing the graphic card. Bec. I knew how close I am to the finish line before getting black screen not without nv_disable=1 Download the latest El Capitan 10.11.3 Download the latest Nvidia Graphic Driver Create bootable usb Boot clover with nv_disable=1 Install the OSX Install the latest Nvdia graphic driver provided for 10.11.3 El Capitan Edit the AppleGraphicsControl.kext which is located at /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext /Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist My board-id appears to be iMac17,1 in the config.plist SMBIOS: Find these lines and replace it's entry to "none" "Mac-B809C3757DA9BB8D" or "Mac-65CE76090165799A" or "Mac-DB15BD556843C820" Rebuild the kext using kextutility tool. Reboot with nvda_drv=1 Then that's it! Edited January 31, 2016 by markuslagan06 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperon999 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Ok, I've been trying to get an El Capiitan install on my system for months, I have tried several methods to get it done, but no joy. I'm at the point of giving up entirely, almost. I even spent about $2000 on i new Skylake based build, only to find out that it's not as easy to do as I was lead to believe. I will post my system specs below I have El Cap kind of installed using VMWare, it works, but that's not what I want. I want a fully functional dual boot setup, Win 10 for gaming and other stuff, and OS X for development, vid editing and such. I used several version of USB creation programs, but none of them has worked to create a working USB installer, they get to a certain point in the installer's boot sequence, then go into a never-ending loop, forcing me to hit the reset button. Not a good outcome... Can i get a bit of guidance as to what I'm doing wrong? Maybe what boot flags i need and installer advice? I'm a newbie at this, but I am rather competent w/ computers. in general. I can install any version of Linux or Windows, but OS X has so far eluded me. My specs: CPU: Core i7-6700K Skylake Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170x-Gaming 7 RAM: 32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2666 Storage: 1 Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD 500 GB, 1 Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" SSD 500 GB and 1 WD BLACK HHD 3 TB Graphics Card: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i liquid cooler (if that's necessary) Power Supply: Corsair RM850 850 WATT (if that's necessary) My motherboard has 2 NICs, 1 Intel I219-V and Killer e2400 Gigabit. I'm connected to the Killer, if that matters. Any advice would help. Thanks from a disabled computer nerd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
