Ahem... We mean *enable* this feature, don't we? As it's already disabled by default? --> http://i.imgur.com/75ocC7q.png

I'm pretty sure we have to disable the feature. The failsafe option is to disable it yes, but the 'optimal' option - which the BIOS sets itself to I assume - is the one that is enabled by default.

Gigabyte will most likely bring a BIOS update to make this setting changeable.

I think I found safe way without modifying BIOS on gigabyte motherboards. Use "Save Profiles option," edit the save file and then load it. I believe this saves all settings in a certain format, even ones not shown in bios. 

 

Will be a few hours before I can confirm though.

That sounds like a good plan.  I'll give it a shot after work as well.  Hopefully it isn't to painful to modify these saved profiles.

Imho, the solution is simply to boot with the secondary Bios (FailSafe), as in FS this option is disabled. You just need to swith the jumpers position in the MB. I'll try it when I get home :-)

I am guessing that would be flipping the switch on the gigabyte board that enables dual bios?  I dont see any other jumpers in the manual for failsafe mode.

Jancarlos, for general post install help, I suggest you open a new topic for the subject in this forum. So many advances were made in this topic, let's keep it clean!

 

All the best!

Yes.

I'm guessing you'll do more harm than good if you go about that way, there are a lot of settings that will change if you put them all into safe mode. I suppose it's better just to modify the BIOS or wait for Gigabyte to upload theirs.

Woohoo successfully flashed bios modded with AMIBCP.  Had to use an older version of Efiflash.  Also noticed it took a little bit to enter the BIOS, but I have the option now.   Link to older Efiflash https://www.sendspace.com/file/z0oove

EDIT:  Successfully booted into El Capitan setup on USB flash drive.   See's the USB 3.0 ports and SATA.   The USB 2.0/1.1 ports aren't working yet.

Ok guys. I have had a very, very, busy day and that basically delayed everything, but here it is.

This is what I have come up with. In

 

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAPIC.kext/Contents/AppleAPIC

 

You search for: C1 E8 10 0F B6 F0 and replace it with: BE 17 00 00 00 90

 

That gets me to the single user prompt without delays. Also boots the installer on USB thumb drive and El Capitan on a SATA SSD.

 

Please confirm.

Bravo. Which version of the tool did you use to modify?

Hi. If it's not too much trouble / time, can you make a list of steps / bulletpointed guide. Including the download link to AMIBCP 5.0.1? I mean the full and EXACT steps. All of them. For example I'm concerned when loading my BIOS file AMIBCP says some error / warning with exclamation marks etc. For example it would be more reassuring to see you did/didn't get that (if ignored and flashing was successful anyway). As this is the first time for many of us.

 

[EDIT] right... you just elaborated already some more about it.

Will try this next thing in the morning (in ~9 hours)

AMIBCP 5.01 - http://www.mediafire.com/download/irxk9p1m43kfk68/AMIBCP_v5.0.1.7Z

Efiflash 0.44 - https://www.sendspace.com/file/z0oove

  1.  Opened AMIBCP and opened up the BIOS
  2. Clicked the + sign next to the folder, then the + sign next to the folder named setup, and scrolled down until I saw Chipset
  3. Clicked on Chipset folder and set the ACCESS/USE column for IOAPIC to User
  4. Saved BIOS
  5. Created FreeDOS boot usb with Rufus
  6. Copied Efiflash and mod bios to the thumb drive
  7. Booted from thumb drive and ran Efiflash <biosname> /C /R
  8. Went into BIOS setting values back up and disabled the IOAPIC value
