MaraficeEye Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ok, so first time poster, first time trying to install on a PC, but I've done hours upon hours of research over the last couple days. I have an ASUS UX306UA ultrabook. It's got a Skylake i7, 8gb of RAM, and a 512gb SSD. I can boot clover fine, I can get to the installer fine and it's all good until it gets to the screen asking where to install. It only sees the flash drive I'm installing from (and now a micro sd card I have in the slot) but does not see my SSD. I have everything set correctly in the BIOS. AHCI is on, Secure Boot disabled, VT-d disabled, fast boot off, booting in UEFI. I know the drive is good as my Windows install, and Linux install both work beautifully. I've set aside a partition for OS X, but the entire drive just does not show up in Disk Utility nor in System Profiler. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed, as I said I'm new to the OS X side of things. I'm guessing I need to get ahold of some modified kext files to fix this issue, but not sure where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's telling me to give up on using Sierra and to go for a different version. I just really want to get my triple boot working. Thanks!

MaraficeEye Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well, sadly that didn't help unless I messed up. Tried using those 3 kext files, still not showing up. Used Gparted from my Linux install to format the partition as HFS+, still not showing up. Tried watching the videos, but can't understand them as I don't speak the language, although I tried to follow along visually, still not working Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Do you have hfsplus.efi in your driver64 folder? https://github.com/JrCs/CloverGrowerPro/blob/master/Files/HFSPlus/X64/HFSPlus.efi?raw=true Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraficeEye Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 It wasn't but putting it in there didn't help, still doesn't show the drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Frio Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 hi.. I read this , and made sense for me.. "Is your Clover Legacy or UEFI build? What is the setting in the BIOS for CSM support? Are SATA ports set for UEFI only, UEFI + Legacy or Legacy only in the BIOS?" c.frio Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraficeEye Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'll post shots of my BIOS after I get home, but Clover is UEFI, the ssd is an M.2 sata, and the only sata option in my BIOS is to set it to AHCI, which I've done. Not sure about CSM off the top of my head but I believe it's disabled? Again I'll check when I get home and post some pics Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraficeEye Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Here's the shots from my BIOS As far as I can tell I have it all set correctly, at least the option I can use. I can boot to Clover fine, and Clover sees the drive, the only thing that doesn't is the macOS installer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaraficeEye Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thanks! Will give it a try No luck with that kext.

Also, attach 'lspci -nn' output from Linux Terminal.

Use google to search for my laptop Clover guide. It has a link to my github with proper plists for common laptop configurations.

MaraficeEye Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Will do, thanks again for the help. Ok, I found the github link and snagged the config for the HD520. Was able to boot to clover like normal, then it went to the black loading screen with the Apple logo, when the bar was about 95% filled, the spinning rainbow circle popped up and it's been spinning for the last 15 minutes with no change. Didn't make it to the installer this time. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't make it to the installer this time. Sounds like an issue with FakeSMC.kext. The one you have in kexts/Other is rather old. But it could also be a graphics issue (BIOS settings not right, or you need to inject EDID). You can always boot with an invalid ig-platform-id (eg. 0x12345678) to take away any graphics issues.

MaraficeEye Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Alright, I'll look into those and report back Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2333868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraficeEye Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Replaced FakeSMC with your latest Checked BIOS settings for graphics, tried all the pre-allocated settings from 32MB to 512MB. Tried using Inject EDID as well as Inject Intel, no combination worked. Tried the invalid id. None of it worked. What surprises me is that with my old config.plist, it would actually get to the installer, but with the new one it doesn't. Also double checked to make sure my SSD was not NVMe and it's not so that shouldn't be an issue Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2334339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraficeEye Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Holy {censored} I may have gotten it! I'll post back if I can get it up and running Ok, I got it to finally see the drive. I went back to the old config.plist, made sure to inject Intel, used the SATA 100 injector, as well as the 3 kext files from the link in post 2 and it's now seeing the drive. It's still not seeing the HFS partition I made, but PROGRESS! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319160-installer-sees-no-drives/#findComment-2334383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraficeEye Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Woo! Finally got the install going. Had to reformat the partition a few times using different file systems until it finally recognized one formatted to exFAT. Install is now going. Then the fun stuff will begin.

MaraficeEye Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 So, install went off without a hitch, I can boot into Sierra from the USB, but not from the hard drive.

I have clover installed to the drive, but I get a cpu 0 caller panic when I try to boot from the drive Make sure you configured Clover exactly as USB (config.plist, drivers64UEFI, kexts, etc).
