UniBeast: Install OS X El Capitan on Any Supported Intel-based PC

Status
Not open for further replies.
I did it running Mavericks, (Clover r3270 was my bootloader since 10.9) downloaded from AppStore and then started "install OS X El Capitan.app". The machine rebooted and the installation went fast and smooth.
 
Hi, I'm new to this forum and I have a probably noob question...
I now have a Yosemite hackintosh, created on a gaming pc and not on a CustoMac (nVidia 780ti not working, never managed to make it work stably, even with hand-installed drivers) and I'm having some problems with UniBeast creating the El Capitan USB.
I've already tried to create it with a 8GB USBdrive and then with a 32GB USBdrive but all I get is (after a complete AFK hour) an open window showing a mounted drive called OS X Base System and the UniBeast application that keeps saying "Copying files" with an about 25% status bar, and it won't go on...
Any ideas on what I should do or where I go wrong??
Thanks in advance,

JamesMaloney


I had the same issue, then I just finally decided to try the USB that was created. I yanked it out of my other Mac, then just tried the boot up and it worked fine.

I'm typing this from my new install now.

Thank you very much, I'll try, then!
 
I am running Clover in my system.

The question I have is, can I update directly from App Store, or should I do I fresh install again?

Thanks for your replies.

Bluetooth, network, USB3, sound, wake from sleep are working perfect.
The only (major) problem is the boot. It work only if boot from USB then MacOSX partition.

I tried a verbose boot, in the attached picture u can see the result.
As you can see, system freeze during "recovery partition unmount". Where's the bug? Any idea?

Installation fails to start, just getting different error messages or getting the dreaded "prohibited" sign with different boot flags. I wouldn't recommend messing with El Capitan at this point. Wait a few months until these issues are ironed out by hard working developers!

My setup is Z77X-UD3H and GTX750 Ti. Beforehehand, all worked fine with Yosemite, using UniBeast + MultiBeast.
 
Clean install without problems. Final Cut Pro is much faster.
BruceX test:

Core i7 3770K
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH
16 GB Corsair RAM
SoftRAID 5 (4x3TB)
OSX 10.11

Final Cut Pro X 10.2.2
Radeon R9 280X

BruceX test: 17 sec
