[GUIDE] El Capitan on the GA-Z170X-UD3

Not open for further replies.
EDIT2: i just took another look at your verbose boot, it seems like it isn't creating any USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports (But only the 3.1 type A and type C)

If the BIOS changes doesn't help, could you please dump all your original tables for me?

To do this: When in Clover press F4 (it won't show anything and it may seem frozen, when it unfreezes shut off the machine, plug the USB into your MacBook, mount the EFI partition and you will find all the tables in EFI/Clover/ACPI/origin

You need everything or just the text file?
Just now downloading El Capitan again. After I do so, do I need to remake the USB stick from scratch or just drop the new version of El Cap on the current USB to replace the old version?

Everything in the origin folder (Should contain a bunch of .aml files), you can just compress them to a zip file.

Remake the USB:

Format the drive (Name: Untitled, Format: OS X Extended (Journaled), Scheme: GUID Partition Map).

Copy and paste this command into a terminal:
Code:
sudo "/Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath "/Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app" --nointeraction

Mount the EFI partition.

Copy and paste the EFI folder from: EFI-robtwopointoh.zip into the EFI partition. (You don't need to run the Clover installer, just copy and paste the EFI folder).

Okay...zip coming at ya. Might be a few hours before I can do the other stuff. El Cap downloading and I have to run some errands.

I just took at look at your xh_rvp10 table, and it differs quite a bit from mine.

So when you try the EFI folder above, please remove the USB-SSDT.aml from EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched. It will then try to inject all ports and will fail after 15 ports (Only HS01-HS14 are defined, so all ports will work as USB 2.0) (We can fix this after the system is actually booting).

I'm still not sure why the two files SSDT-5.aml and USB-SSDT.aml dosen't work, as it should be dropping the table and replacing it with the modified one (Which is based on my table).

@tasc Are you also using the F6 bios? If so, do you have the time to dump your ACPI tables? I really want a third set of tables to compare :)
 
Was about to try this, got back to my sisters house, where before I left it told her, I was downloading El capitan to her MacBook "please don't close the app store". Well, I get back to her house and just before I got there, she decided it would be a good idea to install the download
So, waiting on that to finish
Of course in installing the software, she thereby wiped out the install files. So I have to download it again. She will have to give me her password to the app store and that may not happen any time soon. So I may not work on this tonight. I'll let you know if I do.

Do you still have the current USB or did you format it already?

If you still have it could you try just deleting the USB-SSDT.aml from the EFI-robtwopointoh.zip and replacing your EFI folder with that?

I did try that and it didn't work. Getting stuck at "still waiting for root device".

Hmm...

Just to confirm, you are mounting the EFI partition right? (Not the one with the "Install OS X El Capitan.app")

Your EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched contains: XOSI-WIN10.aml and SSDT-HDEF-HDAS-1.aml?

Is your USB drive a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 device?

I know that you have probably checked this a million times, but int your BIOS you have these set correctly?

XHCI Hand-off: Enabled

Legacy USB Support: Disabled

Serial Port 1: Disabled (Which is in the sub section Super IO Configuration)

Could you give me another verbose boot screenshot?

Also try the attached EFI folder.


The problem I saw on your last verbose boot screenshot is that NON of your USB ports (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0) are being detected by OS X, which is really really wierd....

Latest verbose, this happens before going to the blank screen and the waiting for root device message
