No mouse or keyboard on clover instal

First thing I'd like to do is say what a great site this is, I've read numerous posts and have found it VERY helpful.

I'm attempting to transform my old PC setup into my first Hackintosh and have hit the first stumbling block, I'm very new to this so please excuse my ignorance.

I have a....

Gigabyte GA P55M UD2 MoBo with F11 bios
intel i7 2.8 Ghz
8 Gig memory
USB Mouse and Keyboard

I have followed the guide to the letter
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...-el-capitan-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html

and have setup my bios to what i believe is the correct settings, I also followed this youtube guide

The issue I'm having is that I can start the install and get passed the clover boot loader, but, as soon as the install takes me to the OS X selection screen (where i get OSX screen and get to select continue) I have no mouse functionality. I have an optical mouse that is still lit up but it stays rooted to the top corner. I've tried other ports, but no luck.

Does anyone have any insight on this? I would be truly grateful for any feedback

Please put the motherboard, CPU, and GPU model in the system description on the left and/or your signature. It's hard to give good advice once we get a bit away from the first post and can't see it any more.

As for your question, bad news, I think this is fairly common on P55 boards. Still looking for a solution. It's very interesting that the mouse is lit up, though, so it's not a complete failure of the USB port.

Thanks for the reply, and the suggestion. I've updated my profile as you suggested and will add the GUI details when I'm home.

Ive been doing some reading up but can't seem to find a solution to this issue with a Clover install. I'm not 100% sure it's the actual mouse & keyboard not responding or if it's the install that has locked up, difficult to say as both instances would give the same result.

You may need to add this to the Clover config.plist:

This might work:

But with that hardware you're be better off not upgrading... What do think you can do with ElCap that you can't do in Yos?

This is just a "project" really, I saw this site and was very intrigued.
I use Macs for music production so yeah I have a few machines. In answer to your question though, I believe El Cap to be a bit of a pain and not of any real benefit as my audio interfaces are no longer supported lol.

Are you you saying that by installing Yos instead of El Cap I would overcome the issue of my mouse not operating?

pleas look @ this threat: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-support/174166-usb-issues.html

I'd be interested in whether any of the config.plist settings above get past the nonfunctional keyboard and mouse problem, because a lot of people with P55/H55 seem to be having that. Possibly everyone with a P55/H55!

Code:

            <key>FixOwnership</key>
            <false/>
            <key>HighCurrent</key>
            <true/>
            <key>Inject</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>

Thank you for the suggestion but this didn't work for me. I'm starting to think that maybe I might try and get Yosemite to install instead of El Capitan, though finding a full install dmg or iso is proving tricky, anyone know where I can download a copy ?

Just use tool from InsanelyMac to create USB. When booting from USB, you need to X option FixUSB in Options/DSDT Patches and then you'll have input in installer.
