xJPN Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hello all, I am attempting my first Hackintosh build on OS X Sierra (10.12.4). While doing so I seemed to have ran into a brick wall. I cant even get the initial setup going to install OS X. It gives a kernel panic every single time. I've tried everything I could think to do to try and fix this, problem is there wasn't really much I could think of besides to format and re-create the Install USB. Below, I will walk you through my hardware and the steps I've taken to reach said kernel panic. This post may be lengthy so, thanks to all that take the time to read it all and offer advice. Advisory: I use the Clover bootloader and Clover Configurator in the steps below. These are a must for me! (Sorry [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] fans) Hardware: Mobo: Asus Z170-Deluxe CPU: i7 6700K RAM: 4x8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Founder's Edition (Not yet purchased, so not a factor as of now) PSU: Corsair RM750 SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 512GB (yet to be formatted, used in a fully working previous El Capitan Hackintosh build) Install USB: PNY 8GB USB 2.0 thumb drive Current Mac: MacBook Pro 17", Early 2011 Process: Step 1 - Download OS X Sierra from AppStore Note: As you can see from my System Info above, I have an SSD as a startup disk. This SSD is not very large in storage capacity so I use external thunderbolt hard drives to save all of my data. When I downloaded OS X Sierra, it was stored on said external drive. Step 2 - Format USB 1 Partition Named "Installer" OS Extended (Journaled) GUID Partition Table Step 3 - Create Sierra USB Install Drive I was able to easily and successfully complete this step by using Terminal. Since my "Install macOS Sierra.app" wasn't in the default location, I simply had to point to it in the Terminal command. Step 4 - Install Clover Bootloader I used the following customization options when installing Clover Bootloader to my USB: Step 5 - Download kexts and other essential files FakeSMC.kext AppleIntelE1000e.kext VoodooHDA.pkg Clover Configurator.app Nvidia Web Driver Nvidia Cuda Driver Note: Put all these in a folder in the root of the install USB for post-install. Step 6 - Clover Configurator I used the following flags and other options in my Clover config.plist (Most things were left as default, not sure if this is the problem) Acpi (first page of fixes) Acpi (second page of fixes) Boot Cpu Devices Disable Drivers Gui Graphics Kernel and Kext Patches Rt Variables SMBIOS System Parameters Step 7 - BIOS Settings I used the BIOS settings in wildwillow's build guide here as reference, since he seemed to have the most similar hardware to me that I could find. Ai Tweaker > DRAM Frequency > Set to your choice of frequency depending on the memory. Advanced > System Agent (SA) Configuration > VT-d Disabled Advanced > (SA) Configuration > Graphics Configuration > Primary Display > PEG Advanced > (SA) Configuration > Graphics Configuration > IGPU Multi-Monitor > Disabled Advanced > USB Configuration > XHCI Handoff > Enabled Boot > CSM (Compatibility Support Module) Launch CSM > Enabled Boot > CSM > Boot Device Control > UEFI and Legacy OPROM Boot > CSM > Boot from PCI-E/PCI Expansion Devices > UEFI driver first Secure Boot > OS Type > Other OS Secure Boot > Delete all keys under Key Management (4 in total) Boot option #1 > UEFI macOS installation USB Press F10 and save the changes to the BIOS. Step 8 - Boot to USB (Kernel Panic) Clover Bootloader comes up fine, and begins to countdown. I selected Boot OS X Install from Install macOS Sierra , then the verbose log began to run. After a few seconds, kernel panic. Here are some pics of panic log(please excuse the dirty monitor...): So this is where I am. I haven't a clue what the problem even is, so I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. It's super frustrating to have almost everything in place, and some unknown error keeps me from just installing OS X. I know my hardware is supported. As stated above, the SSD I am using has been used in a previous Hackintosh build where I used El Capitan. As a test, I did install OS X Sierra on this SSD to see if it was stable. I haven't formatted the drive yet as the kernel panic issue hasn't allowed me to get to Disk Utility. However, I am not sure if that even matters. I am just at wits end and am trying to include every little detail so the experts here can perhaps find a solution for me. Anyway, thanks for reading. Any help offered is greatly appreciated!

xJPN Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks for the reply! follow it http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/320288-guide-macos-sierra-1012x-on-asus-z170m-plus-dsdt/ same files work for u use same files, after send me ur DSDT Forgive me, I am not as well versed as some, but humor me for a second. You want me to replace my config.plist on my bootable USB with yours, and do the same thing with the FakeSMC.kext file as well, right? So a question on that. Your guide shows kext files in a folder named "Other" is it necessary that I put the kext files in the "Other" folder as well? At the moment there is already a "10.12" folder in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/. Also what of the other kext file I have? Do I just disregard it temporarily for the install? Then you mentioned a DSDT file. I am not sure how or where to retrieve this file if I am to send it to you. Additionally, would you mind explaining why I am sending you this DSDT file? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xJPN Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 UEFI Replace full folder Sorry, let me be clearer. I am a novice. I don't know what direction to take. I have no problem with following instructions, but I am very lost right now. I am not trying to be a pain, I promise, but I don't know exactly what it is that you're instructing me to do. I have replaced my config.plist file with yours and got a more elaborate kernel panic than the first. According to the readout, kernel_task was responsible. I really appreciate your help!

xJPN Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 test it Replace full folder CLOVER.zip Hmm still no audio... I think I will do a clean install with the provided CLOVER folder you just gave. I did some tinkering on my own and may have messed something up. Was the CLOVER folder you provided supposed to fix bluetooth as well or just audio? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xJPN Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 all is load, good audio too, u modified ur AppleHda? like I said, I may have messed something up. I was trying to fix a few issues at the same time and I installed multib***t to try and get things working. Obviously that didn't work out so well. That's why I was just thinking about starting over with fresh install to see how it goes with new CLOVER folder that you gave. Right now I don't have audio workikng or on-board bluetooth(bluetooth does work with an external adapter but not after computer is sleep). There was another issue where I could not play any media at all(music, videos, etc) this only happened after I tried to use multib***t. I'm pretty sure I messed up by even trying that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
