Mikentosh2016 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Ok, I got on the desktop by choosing HTC. Not sure why but I'm there. What must I do now? I'd like to upgrade to Sierra and maybe update the BIOS. Something went wrong and I'm not sure what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Have you updated the BIOS to F22? If you didn't do so. Plug in the flash drive and go to BIOS and on each page in BIOS press f12 that will save a snapshot of the BIOS page inside the EFI partition of the flash drive, mount the EFI partition in macOS and compress the pictures you saved and post them here to see what's wrong. or Make sure the following settings are as follows: In Peripherals, Trusted computing, Security Device Support = Disable In Peripherals, Super IO Configuration, Serial IO = Disable In Peripherals, USB Configuration, XHCI Hand-off = Enabled in Chipset, VT-d = Disabled In Chipset, Internal Graphics = Enabled In Chipset, IOAPIC 24-119 Entries = Disable In Chipset, DVMT Pre-Allocated = set it to maximum value available inside the In Chipset, DVMT Total Gfx Mem = set it to maximum value available inside the 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikentosh2016 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Does F12 expand all the folders of the BIOS page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 No, it will save a screenshot of the page inside the efi partition of any drive you choose, or if you have a MSDOS-FAT formatted flash if it's connected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my way to Staples now. Going to get a 16GM USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Have you updated the BIOS to F22? If you didn't do so. I'm on my way to Staples now to get a 16GM USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I'll start the #5 to #22 today. Make sure the following settings are as follows: In Peripherals, Trusted computing, Security Device Support = Disable In Peripherals, Super IO Configuration, Serial IO = Disable In Peripherals, USB Configuration, XHCI Hand-off = Enabled in Chipset, VT-d = Disabled In Chipset, Internal Graphics = Enabled In Chipset, IOAPIC 24-119 Entries = Disable In Chipset, DVMT Pre-Allocated = set it to maximum value available inside the In Chipset, DVMT Total Gfx Mem = set it to maximum value available inside the 1/2 of that looks unfamiliar but I'll check and F12 it once I get back inside the BIOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ok, before you update the BIOS you can send me the picture of your current BIOS settings so I can see if there is any misconfigurations and if it didn't work then you update the BIOS and if you are going to buy a new flash drive, get a USB 3.0 instead of a USB 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do want the updated BIOS because I'm always getting multiple boot entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikentosh2016 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 or if you have a MSDOS-FAT formatted flash if it's connected. I don't know what the above quote means but I got a 3.0 USB flash thumb drive that is already formatted MS-DOS (Fat). Do I restart the computer and F12 in the BIOS to show the correct settings before proceeding? I believe the BIOS needs Fat to F12 to the thumb drive. This Hackintosh has been running continuously for 2 nights for fear it will not get to the Profile Select screen. I'm going to bed now and will keep the machine running until I'm ready to proceed.

No, what I meant is that you can enter the BIOS pressing "Delete" key on the keyboard, when the computer is turned on before it starts to load the operating system, when you see the manufacturer's logo in your case Gigabyte, press "Delete' key few times on the keyboard and the system will enter the BIOS, once you entered the BIOS by pressing the F12 key on the keyboard it will save a picture of that page inside a FAT32 formatted drive, whether it's a USB flash drive or the EFI partition of an internal hard disk which is formatted as FAT32 by default. Pressing the F12 key while system is booting will open the Boot menu in which you can also find "Enter BIOS" in the bottom of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdevs Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Everything here seems normal the only thing you need to check is under "Chipset" see if IOAPIC24-119 Entries is available and is set to disabled. On your iMac plug in a USB derive and format it with Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) and with GUID partition scheme. Type “diskutil list” and press return/enter You’ll see the list of all the hard drives connected to your computer. find the external,physical Type “diskutil mount /dev/diskXsX” and press return, first X is the number of the USB HDD and the second X is the number of the partition e.g. /dev/disk6 (external, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *62.1 GB disk6 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk6s1 2: Apple_HFS 10.12.5 61.2 GB disk6s2 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk6s3 Now you can see the EFI partition is mounted no the desktop, if you can’t see the partition on the desktop you can find it in finder window’s “Sidebar” under “Devices” Once you mounted the EFI partition of the flash drive copy the “EFI” folder inside the “EFI” partition and eject the drive and plug it to your hackintosh. Upon boot press F12 key on the keyboard and you’ll be ask to choose the device you want to boot from. OR Just install clover on the USB drive with your iMac which it will mount the EFI folder in the process and the replace the EFI folder with the one MaLd0n posted earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to use the 2006 iMac when the Hackintosh is booting to the desktop now? I now have 112 BIOS Boot Entries. I think all I need is Sierra and f22 UEFI.

Cyberdevs Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 So you can boot to your hackintosh without any errors? If so you don't need to use the iMac if your hackintosh can boot into desktop. If you have IOAPIC24-119 entries in the BIOS it's not necessary to update the BIOS but it could be better. It's up to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
