Hi, I am new here. Been on TM site, but not getting where I need to be. 

 

Here is where I am at:

 

- I have system up and running with Intel 530, internet working via Ethernet, USB seems ok. I got here with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-prep'd install USB, clover 3766. FakeSMC and Mausi internet are the only kexts I used. In clover config.plist: Default boot volume MacHDD, timeout 3. Boot args are nv_disable=1 dart=0. Under graphics inject Intel. Kernel and Kext patches AppleAHCIPort and AppleUSBXHCIPCI. Apple RTC, ASUS AICPUPM and KernelPM checked. RT vars booterconfig 0x28, CsrActiveConfig 0x3 (maybe I will need to have this 0x67 once I put RX480 in board). SMBIOS just shows iMac14,2 no details. 

- Above was based on a config.plist that I found on this thread here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/317095-new-build-ga-z170x-ud5-mac-os-sierra-problems/, as [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] install USB out of the box with usual edits wasn't working...

 

- Now I am trying to get RX480 working. It is not installed. Because of previous attempts based on editing the AMDRadeon4100 kext, and not seeing any result, I reinstalled Sierra a couple times, redid USB installers, and maybe that got things into weird state in terms of EFI's and config.plists. I noticed that clover adds a config.plist to the EFI parent folder. So no idea how all these files have affected things. At one point [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] stopped being able to copy files to a newly formatted USB, saying it couldn't copy base system files. And [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] results in system not booting - just going to apple logo and rebooting after 5 seconds, in verbose showing only two lines, something about hibernate no, and eservices/boot.efi. No idea why config for the SSD's EFI should even be different - why not just copy from USB EFI?

 

- So... looking for advice here. Since I have Sierra up and running, should I even try and reinstall Sierra for any reason, or can someone advise on how to get from where I am now (working with intel 530) to fully working RX480 setup? Existing config.plist, kexts, etc, would be useful!

 

thanks,

 

Brian

Ok, been away from home. Tried this but immediately upon choosing to boot from the hard drive (on which I replaced clover folder with attached) I don't even see the apple icon, it goes right to a few lines of verbose saying loading overrides, then reboots within a few seconds. Any ideas what could be causing so much trouble in this case?
