skillz33 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hello everybody, since a week i am during the installation for a bootable USB stick for installing osx sierra on my amd pc. I've read many of posts from hackintosh and other forums. I've used a lot of TuT's and bootloaders, installer... On my macbook i downloaded the MacOS Sierra installer (10.12.6). Can anybody tell me, how i make the bootable usb and which kernel i should use for this? Bootloader? Something else? The most reason for failure was a reboot loop after i start the installer from clover. In best case there is anybody with same specs as mine with a good Tutorial i can follow. My specs: CPU: AMD FX 8320 Eight Core Processor Board: MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ Graphic: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 NVidia / GTX 750 TI (i have 2 cards) RAM: 16GB G.Skill 2133MHZ I hope you can help me!

carlo_67 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Use Pandora tool, find it in downloadHe prepares the usb istaller, after installing CloverSo if you are the bios legacy After you put my fixes Archivio.zip 1) Kernel, run in S/L/K and replace the folder 2) Use kext wizard and install the kext that areIn the kext S/L /E folderAnd fix permissions and caches 3) mount the usfi istaller Efi folder with configurator clover and put the kexts in the kext clover folder in the kext /10.12 folder Then open the config.plistAlways with clover configuratorAnd put these flags(Important for now to put nv_disable) After installation, you will need to install the webdrive for those nvidia cards Remember that after installing you will have to put the kernel and kext back into S/L/EAnd reusing the usb as the first boot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillz33 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thanks for your reply. I can follow step for step. So now i am finish the configuration and put in the usb in the pc and start: with boot args: -v nv_disable=1 a failure appears: "This Version of Mac OS X is not supported on this Platform!" Reason: Mac-F42C88C8 Then i boot with: -v nv_disable=1 -no_compat_check a failure appears: Error loading kernel Cache (0x9) What did I wrong? EDIT: with this boot args: "-v npci=0x2000 maxmem=6144 USBBusFix=Yes nv_disable=1 cpus=1" I went to the installation gui for the FIRST TIME! This makes me smile, but when i change my language (german in my way) a popup comes up and says "OSX cant install on this computer... restart and try again..."

carlo_67 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Remember that after installing the webdrive, change flags, remove nv_disabler from config.plist and add nvda_drv = 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 add nvda_drv = 1 Enoch is NVIDIAWebDrv=Yes and Clover is NVIDIAWeb=True for Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
