I've been working on this for a few days and haven't made any headway on it. I want to update my Intel NUC DC3217BY (Ivy Bridge), currently running Yosemite 10.10.5, to El Capitan. My problem is that this system refuses to boot El Capitan. I can get through the Clover bootloader (here I should note that I've been using Clover for more than a year), but as soon as it starts to boot into the El Capitan installer, either the virtual disk setup when I ran the installer app from Yosemite, or from a Unibeast 6.0 USB installer disk, I get a row of plus signs ('++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++') and it hangs. That's in verbose mode. In graphical mode, I simply get a blank screen.
Here's some of what I've tried so far, all with the same result:
I'm at the point now where I'm completely stumped, and I'm beginning to think it's impossible to install El Capitan on the Intel NUC DC3217BY. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here's some of what I've tried so far, all with the same result:
- Remaking the Unibeast 6.0 USB according to the guide
- Various combinations of boot flags, including safe mode (-x)
- Adding NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11
