?Devzone/Mieze: New Driver for Realtek RTL8111: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287161-new-driver-for-realtek-rtl8111/page-43
Installation:
1. make and alter unibeast drive: IOAPIC in config.plist fix as per Pike R Alpha in the unibeast usb drive EFI partition
2. bios settings as per ammulder skylake starter guide. also disabled parallel port just in case.
initial boot without graphics card (removed from system). Otherwise boot with bootflag: nv_disable=1
3. before booting with unibeast USB unplug all unneccesary cables like extra monitors and LAN cables and USB. A connected LAN cable at initial start up caused kernel panic.
when booted into El Capitan:
1. multibeast
install bootloader, voodoohda 2.8.8 (realtek 887 audio did not work)
2. LAN realtek RTL8111 driver from: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287161-new-driver-for-realtek-rtl8111/page-43. multibeast realtek driver does not work. install using kext beast and rebuild cache
3. alter the following in config.plist in EFI partition of installed hard drive (not the USB drive) as per ammulder skylake starter guide:
IOAPIC fix
SMBIOS to iMac 17.1
memory settings
nvidia card fix
4. install nvidia web driver. there are links floating around. I went to nvidia website and the only drivers for el capitan available is found if you search for quadro driver. after install highlight the nvidia driver.
5. shut down computer and install graphics card. reboot
Working:
2x 4K monitors 60Hz via display ports
audio via headphone jack front and back. there is noise with voodoohda, to fix this turn down the input gain in system preferences
audio via hdmi not tested
sleep
LAN
USB 3 and 2. type c not tested.
