Col Crunch Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 So I am trying to install El Capitan on my system, and I keep getting stuck at the same spot, I have looked at many guides and it seems that I always get the same output. Firstly my specs: -Asus X99-Deluxe -GTX 980 -i7-5820K - 32GB DDR4-2133 And now for show and tell! I have tried and retried the ##### method (that program from tonymacx86 that apparently isn't liked 'round these parts), and the Clover method. I just tried the RampageDev guide, and you could say I made progress, cause now what ever I do I at least get to the following point!: http://i.imgur.com/De9X4Rw.jpg I have tried using -x, nv_disable=1 (with and without InjectNVIDIA), slide=0, dart=0, and npci=0x2000 and npci=0x3000, all give me the same output (in any combination). Does anyone (especially those with similar setups) have any ideas? UPDATE: Ok, so after changing USB headers on my board and retrying the front ports, I can get past the "Still waiting for root device" message! However now I get to these points: Booting with just -v, npci=0x2000 and kext-dev-mode=1 I get this: http://imgur.com/LXunuKm.jpg and with cpus=1 added I get the following: http://imgur.com/6SuTFLN.jpg In both cases the machine restarts after a second or two.

maleorderbride Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It says Still waiting for root device. Your problem is the USB Installer it sounds like. Try disabling USB 3.0 before installing and using a USB 2.0 port for the install drive. You could also try changing the system definition to imac14,2 while installing, or address the USB issue before even starting: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306777-guide-usb-fix-el-capitan-1011/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/311039-help-asus-x99-deluxe-install/#findComment-2217559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont even know what they are using to look at the plist, let alone how to translate that to something I can do on my system.

AsusFreak Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 ... I dont even know what they are using to look at the plist, let alone how to translate that to something I can do on my system. That helps explain the problem, maybe a little more time in the Clover forum might be helpful, as well as understanding that there is no X99 support from Apple so yours is not an easy project...
