I am having trouble getting el capitan off the ground but I can get USB 2 with my ##### USB and when booting from HDD I have no USB at all. I have try matching the config file and using the config file from usb made no difference

 

I ve tried many inject kexts and generic kext made no difference so i m starting to feel frustrated

 

Here is my USB Specs

 

Chipset:

  1. Up to 2 USB 3.0/2.0 ports (available through the internal USB header)
  2. Up to 4 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (available through the internal USB headers)

Chipset + 2 Renesas® uPD720210 USB 3.0 Hubs:

  1. Up to 8 USB 3.0/2.0 ports (6 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the internal USB header)

 

I have uploaded my clover config file and dsdt file any help would be appreciated

Hi there,

 

Try this config.plist, I made some adjustment to your original file. give it a try.

 

Put the kext file in the EFI\Clover\Kexts\10.11 and replace your config.plist with the new one.

 

P.S. Sorry I don't know what happened when I was typing :)

thanks in advance

You're welcome,

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

 

in this case you might wanna check your BIOS settings, make sure XHCI-handoff is enabled, and test the back panel ports sometimes front headers are not working properly.

 

Also make sure your have SSDT-XOSI.aml in your ACPI\Patched folder.

I check my BIOS settings and made some changes including XHCI-handoff is enabled and i changed my method of installing el capitan which is using clover special edition and I added the config and kext into the install and it worked.

 

I booted into the install for first time and i had USB2+3 off the bat but still could only get it by booting off the USB so i thought i d try and copy and replace the EFI Folder from USB to Main HDD one and it worked i have full USB 2+3 without the USB Now :)

 

so its something in the EFI folder thats the issue can you think of what it could be? i can upload the folder if need be?

 

PS: can you remove the file attachment from your prevous post as it contains personal information

 

thanks

It's good news,

I'm glad it worked out :)

If you copy the contents of your booting efi folder the result should be the same.

 

If you are going to use the config.plist you might wanna change the SMBIO details specially the serial number and UUID so the serial number wouldn't be end up blocked by apple.

By the way I don't use that config.plist because my hardware configuration is completely different than yours.

Clover


You are welcome :)


 


EFI folder has some basic folders and the contents of the sub folders may vary depending on the Hardware you use.


 


The main folders are:


 


EFI


  • /boot (This file is used for Legacy booting and is not necessary for UEFI booting but for older computers with no UEFI capability deleting this file will render computer un-bootable. Remember there might be boot file and a BOOT folder. boot files is placed outside of the EFI folder but BOOT folder is placed inside the EFI folder on the EFI partition.)

 


  • /APPLE (This folder is created by Mac OS X Installer and contains the information of the system's hardware, firmware and SMC (System Management Controller) which is not necessary for Hackintosh computers)
    • /EXTENSIONS
    • /FIRMWARE
    • /UPDATERS

 


  • /BOOT (This folder contains all the information on booting up the computer and loading the Clover bootlaoder)
    • /BOOTIA32.efi (For booting the computer in 32 Bits mode)
    • /BOOTX64.efi (For booting the computer in 64 Bits mode)

 


  • /CLOVER
    • /ACPI
      • /origin (You can put ll the ACPI original tables in this folder if you already have them, if not using clover’s GUI and pressing the F4 key will extract all the ACPI tables in this folder like DSDT, SSDT and so forth for further modifications.)
      • /patched (As the name points out you need to put all the patched ACPI tables right here like DSDT, SSDT, SSDT-XOSI.aml and so on)
      • /WINDOWS (Not sure what could be use of this folder maybe it is used on dual boot capable systems)


 


  • /CLOVERIA32.efi (For booting the computer and loading the clover's GUI in 32 Bit mode)
  • /CLOVERIAX64.efi (For booting the computer and loading the clover's GUI in 32 Bit mode)

 


  • /config.plist (This file is one of the most important files and it contains all the hardware specifications and tells the Mac OS X what should be used by Mac OS X and how the OS handles the hardware and drivers.)

 


  • /doc (Documentations of the Clover bootloader)

 


  • /drivers32UEFI (The contents of this folder are essentially the drivers and loaders for Mac OS X to be able to load on non-Apple computers in 32 Bit mode)

 


  • /drivers64UEFI (The contents of this folder are essentially the drivers and loaders for Mac OS X to be able to load on non-Apple computers in 64 Bit mode)

 


  • kext (This folder is used for loading all the system specific kext and extensions for any given version of Mac OS X such as FakeSMC, Audio chipset drivers, Ethernet Controllers, PowerManagement and so on and it is an essential part of Clover’s bootlaoder. Clover uses this folder for different versions of Mac OS X and it will load the kext files that are not natively supported by Apple and Mac OS X)

 


  • /misc (This folder keeps the data that you can dump by using Clover’s GUI such as preboot.log, Video Adapter’s ROM file and Clover’s GUI screenshots.)

 


  • /OEM (It is designated to store different configurations. A typical situation involves a bootable USB flash drive with multiple configurations)

 


  • /ROM (Is used for loading a modified ROM of for example an Graphics Adapter or any other devices which use a ROM)

 


  • /themes (Stores themes of the Clover’s GUI)

 


  • /tools (Contains all the tools like shell boot loader and shell command prompt)

 


  • /Clover_Install_Log.txt (Change log of the Clover’s version)

     


 


In my personal experience you can delete these following files and it won’t effect your system, but is not recommended to delete any of these files unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing because it might affect your system.


 


/APPLE folder


/BOOT/BOOTIA32.efi if you are using a 64 Bits version system or /BOOT/BOOTIAX64.efi if you use a 32 Bits system.


/CLOVERIA32.efi


/CLOVERIAX64.efi


/doc


/misc


/ROM


 


Well that’s pretty much it :)
