Finally got it to work finally. I did a fresh install again and then update to 10.11.4 and made repaired caches and permissions for about 3 times. Finally, repaired caches and permissions through kextwizard did the trick. Thus is finally a successful instalation. Thanks Chris for your installer for the 755 /760/780 Optiplex series. That's what I used since it was already confugured with the Mac Pro 3,1 smbios. Now I'm not sure if the G630 cpu I was using could've been the issue also that it wouldn't work without safe mode. I'm glad I made that discovery and that'll for sure save a lot of time from hair pulling and headaches. ++Kudos Chris.

before trying the command you need this in config.plist

and also  after the reboot

maibe thats the problème ? your change the original config.plist 

 

<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x28</string>

I tried a bunch of stuff can't remember what order but kextwizard is what I believe did the trick for me when I repaired cache and permissions with it. I'm trying to install an SSD on my Lenovo Thinkcentre M91p as well but space seem to be limited on the SFF. Did you remove your DVD Drive?

Oh OK I see, but it seems like you have 2 stacked up on top of another. Am I mistaken? That's what it looks like in the first picture. I was under the impression that you were still using a 3.5" HDD in there too. So now it's clear to me that you're only using SSDs under that blue case.

It still a bit unclear to me how you have 3 there but that's OK. Could you link me to the version of power sata splitter that you used for this? I think I have a few laying around just want to make sure that's all so I won't order again by mistake.

Hey Chris, just a thought but do you think you could implement the M81 into the installer for those who have that version of M series? Would it be hard to include smbios Macbook 3,1 for since anything else would require to be booted into safe mode? I'm not sure how all of this work but it's just a thought that just came to mind. As far as the safe mode boot on the M81 with Intel pentium G630, I will try again with V3 installer because I have another motherboard coming in the mail this week and see if there's a difference with the type of CPUs being used. I'll then try a 2400 cpu and see the difference.

OK great. So in regards to the applehda.kext which is shown as native now, does this mean we'll never have to worry about it with later updates from Apple?

This is the Final Major Update :lol:  :P

Update on my m93

 

I have 2 USB3 in the front, 4 USB3 and 2 USB2 at the back

 

Only 2 USB3 at the back can be run at USB3 mode, if I plug any USB3 device on it, OSX will not recognise the device, but USB2 device can.

 

HWMonitor can detect my SSD and HDD, but CPU cannot

 

PS: Is it necessary to create a SSDT for my i7 4790?
