crispossa Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi everybody. I'm trying to install El Capitan on an Acer Aspire E5-573, but I'm stuck in installer, which is not showing up the internal hard disk. I already installed the system with the hard drive connected into a USB case, but when I try to boot it without the USB Case, the boot get stucked at the "prohibited" logo (I think this is getting 'still waiting for root device'). I suspect that the main problem is the Intel9 Series SATA Controller, which is not being recognized by the El Capitan. I already tried 3 types of kexts for activate the SATA controller, but no lucky at all. The system specs: Acer Aspire E5-573 Processor Intel Core i5 5200U Integrated Graphics Intel HD 5500 (will fight with that {censored} later) Intel 9 Series Chipset 12GB RAM Wireless Atheros AR9565 (will be replaced) Ethernet Realtek RTL8168/8111 Audio Realtek ALC255 So I'm bumping my head into the wall through the last 5 days with no luck to get this machine up and working. Any help will be welcome! Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispossa Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hi Herve, there's no option for that in my BIOS ({censored} locked Acer BIOS). AIDA64 reports the controller is working in AHCI mode, so I assume the setting is right in BIOS, or I'm wrong? Modern Laptops comes from stock with AHCI setted, until I know.
