Hey Everyone,
I've been having issues installing El Capitan on my Skylake system.
MOBO: Gigabyte GA Z170N Gaming 5 (F4 Bios Version)
GFX: EVGA Titan X
MEMORY: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB DDR4 2400
STORAGE: Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD
WIRELESS: Broadcom BCM94352Z M.2 Wifi/BT
Basically, the very first time I installed everything using the generic installation guide (XHCI Handoff Enabled, memory set to Profile 1, VT-d disabled, added the NVMe kext to the "other" folder in the EFI, made sure UFEI was selected, Other OS), everything seemingly worked perfectly. Used a 64 GB USB stick which was connected to a USB 3.0 port. It booted up, made it through the installer, it recognized the NVMe SSD and I formatted it, and finished "Installing on Macintosh HD." It booted back up and then midway through the multibeast post-install, there was seemingly a kernal panic and it autorebooted but wasn't able to boot back into El Capitan again. So I spent the next few hours attempting to reinstall the OS assuming it would be as simple as the first time..
Unfortunately, the furthest I can make it now is to the Installing on "Macintosh HD" About 12 minutes remaining where everything freezes/hangs and I have to hard restart the system.
I have tried everything I could think of: Ammulders guide of GA H170N (pretty similar board), with nv_disable=1 (via Clover Configurator [CC]), with nv_disable=0 via CC, with a config.plist from @pentae (who has nearly the same build except his is working), connected a USB 2.0 header and installed using the USB 2.0 port, tried with the most recent RehabMan USBInjectALL kext (copied into 10.11 and 10.10 and even tried copying into the Other folder too), and I even took out my Titan X and tried all those with it out as well).
So I'm not quite sure what to do at this point.. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks a ton in advance!!!
