Spent hours doing a clean install of final El Cap, it was a real PITA compared to installing the GM... It's up and running finally. I created an installer with "createinstallmedia" and Clover r3272 and had to continually modify/minimize the config.plist to get it installed without a KP. I've...
There are plenty of threads related to El Capitan, yet most of them are irrelevant to the X99 unsupported chipset. Let's attempt here to gather the info we need for all X99 boards...
Installer: We'll create a USB El Cap installer using Apples "createinstallmedia".

<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
<dict>
<key>KernelHaswellE</key>...
Clover r3131 can now patch the kernel for X99 on the fly...
<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
<dict>
<key>KernelHaswellE</key>
<true/>
Thanks Clover Team...
@dev's What does the Unibeast Installer do that a Clover Installer (createinstallmedia) doesn't? On a X99 box if I install Yosemie using Unibeast and then copy the patched kernel to HD/System/Library/Kernels/ and then install Clover; using boot flags: -v npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 the systems...

Do you wonder why so many post here go unanswered? It's pretty simple...
1. No one can assist if you're too lazy to put your hardware specs in your profile. People willing to help aren't interested in guessing games or having to ask for configuration info.

Some years ago I walked away from “Big Clunky Computer Cases”. At the time I didn't want to sacrifice performance or features to do so and that hasn't changed to date. For some time now manufacturers have been providing mATX boards that offer comparable feature sets as well as performance equal...
