distortionmusic Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 - Not working yet - I have talked about installing Sierra on my system here and already got some great tips from cyberdevs but to avoid confusion with the Gigabyte mainboard topics and to maybe help people with the same components with their Sierra install, I made a new topic here. System setup: - MSI Z170A Gaming M5 - i5 6600K 3,5 GHz - Crucial Vengeance 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz - MSI GTX 970 4G - TP link wireless card - TP links second ethernet card - 2x Intel M.2 SSD 120GB - Adata SP900 128GB SSD BIOS settings: - UEFI booting only - VT-d off - serial port off - Thunderbolt support off (didn't matter with booting for working so I left it off) - USB handoff on - CFG lock off - XMP on (for 3000MHz DDR4) Software using so far: USB with 10.12.1 downloaded from the App Store and copied using createinstallmedia USB with latest Clover (r3911 at the moment of writing) Status It doesn't work yet. Can't even boot into the installer Booting gets stuck at osxaptiofixdrv, tried using osxaptiofixdrv2 and didn't work either. Tried various methods to install Clover, with bootdiskutility on windows, the normal installer on Mac, stock config.plist and various modified configs from users around the forum regarding the Gigabyte 170X topics. It can be that I made a very stupid mistake of some kind, but after three days of trying I'm out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtraa Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Assuming you have - not updated to the latest beta BIOS 1.C with "support for next generation intel cpus" - formatted the stick with GUID (because OS X likes to have MBR preselected for sticks) and you also - picked the UEFI entry from your F12 boots selection menu, not the legacy entry, - made the standard UEFI configs, like setting your drives to ACPI and disabling CSM under Boot Options > Windows etc. - placed all your kexts in EFI/Clover/Other/ and deleted the old folders, - plus you have either OsxAptioFix2Drv OR OsxAptioFixDrv installed but not both at the same time, the folder /EFI/Clover/drivers64uefi/ should contain the following files HFSPlus.efi PartitionDxe-64.efi EmuVariableUefi-64.efi OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi FSInject-64.efi OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi Maybe if you check these points, you'll already find the error. there is also an entry from a German hackintosh board, and the dude has nearly the same setup so you may try his files, too. click. Hope that helps and good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distortionmusic Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm sorry for replying this late, work and school got in between my free time! I didn't have any time to retry installing clover on my usb yet, but I can confirm that I did use the 1.C BIOS. Is this a serious issue?I did have legacy only selected, and disabled CSM, enabled AHCI I will check the german board and will try again soon, thank you for your tips so far!

distortionmusic Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 @xtraa I have tried what you told me, but still no luck. Right now the boot gets stuck at "unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI"\ ......." I have typed out my UEFI settings, maybe I'm missing something. Files in my drivers64UEFI folder are: AppleImageCodec-64.efi AppleKeyAggregrator-64.efi AppleUITheme-64.efi DataHubDxe-64.efi EmuVariableUefi-64.efi FirmwareVolume-64.efi FSInject-64.efi HFSPlus.efi OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi PartitionDxe-64.efi SMCHelper-64.efi The kexts I placed in /Other were: AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext FakeSMC.kext realtekALC.kext USBInjectAll.kext MSI CLICK BIOS 5 MB: Z170A Gaming M5 (MS-7977) BIOS Version: 1.C CPU i5 6600K @ 3,5 GHz RAM DDR4 16GB 3000MHz used expansion slots GTX970 4G gaming edition TP link gigabit ethernet (have tried booting without both TP LINK cards, didn't matter.)

Donw35 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Whats your config.plist look like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distortionmusic Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 I've used the stock one that Clover gave me after it's install, and the last one I tried is from a guy with about the same hardware from a german board @xtraa mentioned above, from this post. I don't know how to add files to a post so here's a link to my dropbox with all files I've tried. Probably I've messed up the configs, after it didn't work I tried changing stuff to make it work but no luck yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
