[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 UEFI U1C El Capitan

I'd like to share.

Board: Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 UEFI U1C
CPU: i7-2700K
Display: No addition display card
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 (128GB)
Bios: EFI + Legacy Boot Mode, USB3 enabled, Virtualization enabled (might not be related to successfulness of the build), followed advices listed in this site for Yosemite before


<<<Successful El Capitan Build>>>

[Unibeast]
- Unibeast 6.1.1 (but manually added back NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to get rid of Kernel panic on Clover boot up)
(reference of Unibeast 6.1.1 missing NullCPUPowerManagement.kext : http://www.tonymacx86.com/unibeast/178045-unibeast-6-1-1-usb-stick-boot-issues.html)
[Multibeast]
- Multibeast 8.0.1
- quick setting select EFI (not DSDT one)
- MacMini 6,2
- network Realtek 8111
- Audio Realtek 889
- Boot loader - Clover EFI one

(I am sorry that I post this in my office using a PC, thus don't have the screen of Multibeast to cross check the exact wording displayed on Multibeat menu)

My Steps:
1) Boot "External" with Unibeast 6.1.1 made USB stick (8GB not work, due to not enough space, use a large one to create the image, and put the NullCPUManagement.kext in the corresponding folder)
2) Install El Capitan (clear install, I will talk about how, and actually I was going to "upgrade" my Yosemite on later section)
3) Boot (still with the USB flash) but select the "middle" (El Capitan disk)
4) If you have TimeMachine contained your previous OS and user data, do NOT transfer them right now (to avoid the "EvOreboot.kext" kernel panic, which happened many times to me before), you can invoke the "transfer assistant tool" later.
5) Multibeast install, remove USB and boot again (if you got some GPT, boot error shown on screen, change your Bios boot sequences, adding items not related to EFI, but still preserve EFI, just try some different combination... I think the Bios U1C has bug, eventually, you can get into the Clover on your HDD)
6) Apply Trim (I simply run the command "sudo trimforce enable" on terminal), and reboot
7) Use "Migration Assistant" (in Applications/Utilities folder) to migrate my old "applications", "user data" of my Yosemite backup that was "resided in TimeMachine" to the new El Capitan, and they looked good.
(I did NOT migrate "Computer Settings" and "Other Files" in the check list, tried to avoid the migrater copy setting related to "EvOreboot.kext" and cause kernel panic again).
8) After running "Migration Assistant", I immediately run Multibeast with setting mentioned AGAIN and before reboot (not sure if this prevented "EvOreboot.kext" kernel panic, but just don't want to waste more time that need to install from the beginning again)

Status:
1) El Capitan boot successfully
2) Network fine
3) Trim enabled (seen from System Status SATA details)
4) Has sound
(not yet have time to look into other things detailedly)

Good Luck~

Nice job on the install. You mentioned "USB3 enabled". Since I've noticed on numerous other install guides that USB3 should be disabled for series 6X motherboards, I wondered if your USB3 is actually functional. If so, did you need to do anything special (e.g., additional kexts) to get USB3 functionality? Thanks.

Thanks for your post. It helped me in (almost) fixing my setup.

Just curiosity... do you have a USB mouse? If yes, does it work properly after your pc wakes up from sleep mode?

I've just posted here http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...z68ma-d2h-b3-el-capitan-10-11-2-sleep-usb.htm my problem, but I thought to ask you... just in case

Thanks!

Graphics Issues...

Hi,

thank you so much for sharing your way of installing 10.11 on your setup. I have the same setup but after installing everything I get artefacts on my screens (see screenshot).

Does this have to do anything with my Graphics drivers? I used MultiBeast to inject HD3000 drivers.
