waqy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi guys, got a Fujitsu R570-2 desktop computer. It's got an Intel Xeon L5640 with 6 cores and 12 threads at 2.3GHz. Despite being able to make a couple of hackintosh machines over the last couple of years, I just can't seem to boot into the Sierra installer using Clover EFI. I've used a variety of flags ( -v, -s, cpus=1, -x, maxmem=4096, etc) but I can't seem to get into the installer. The predominant error message is always "Should have 12 threads, only found 13" This occurs with any number if I have multithreads disabled or core numbers reduced in the BIOS settings as well. Is this processor even supported? Should I be using somethign else apart from Clover? Your help would be very much appreciated. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/322158-intel-xeon-l5640-sierra-kernel-panic-booting-into-installer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

waqy Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 I downloaded and installed Clover EFI e4035 to USB stick and put FakeSMC kext inside 10.12 folder inside the Kext folder. To make the Sierra USB, I used the terminal command to copy the base image from the Application to USB 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/322158-intel-xeon-l5640-sierra-kernel-panic-booting-into-installer/#findComment-2391507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then ran it through MaciASL and then googled any errors I had and now there isn't any. I've attached the DSDT.aml and config as well. Edit: As a last resort, I used my macbook pro to install Sierra on to the hard drive of the desktop via a usb caddy. I then put the drive in the computer but I still get the same kernel error unfortuately Archive.zip 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/322158-intel-xeon-l5640-sierra-kernel-panic-booting-into-installer/#findComment-2391930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
