Anyone know how to get multibeast to work?

Whenever I tried to install the kext using multibeast, I get error.

Is it something to do with SIP?
Do I need to disable SIP before using multibeast?

Has anyone actually got it to work. I followed the instructions from the top of this thread and can boot off the usb just fine, but when I try to boot off the HD it goes into a continuous restart loop.

Hey Tony;
Nice write up.

I followed most of changes you wrote about on other posts related to this build with success, since my system is similar to this one.

I was left with 3 problems:
1. Sound (this was fixed with added a DSDT.aml related to my system under the acpi/patched folder, then running the audio_RealtekALC-110 script)

2. Unable to boot without the USB "boot0af error" (This was resolved following this post "http://www.tonymacx86.com/bootloaders/109717-how-do-you-fix-boot0af-error.html#post673126")

3. Unable to get my system to shut down/restart consistently (resolved using nothingmore's DSDT.aml on this post "http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-support/174222-x58-cant-shut-down-13.html" all three of us have a i7 930 I need to learn more about DSDT's creating/editing)

Thank your for your support,
I'm happy to finally be running clover. I'm still struggling with the boot not showing a full 1080p resolution using my Nvidia gtx 480. I tried everything I could find online without success. Maybe newer nvidia cards have a 1080p VESA out the box.
Back on the subject of DSDT's I think their should be a database started for clover, like the one for legacy boot loaders...

Here’s a quick guide for setup on the CustoMac Pro 2010 on OS X El Capitan. For installation, use the main UniBeast guide. If you have trouble booting the standard USB, recreate it by formatting first with MBR partition format. This will install Clover using Legacy Boot Mode to the root of the USB.

BIOS settings:
Disable USB 3.0 under Integrated Peripherals. NEC/Renesas USB 3.0 ports are not working- there is no current solution for OS X El Capitan as of this post. The system drive will not boot unless you disable USB 3.0 in BIOS.

For post-installation, instead of installing to the EFI partition with Legacy Boot Mode, Clover must be installed to the root of the system drive by using either Legacy Boot Mode - Root package from El Capitan Post-Install Tools. use MultiBeast 8.0 with the following settings:

This system will need the following extra Clover DSDT fixes in order to boot successfully without a DSDT:

AddDTGP_0001
FixHPET_0010
FixHDA_8000
FixIPIC_0040

To use at boot time, hit Options at Clover boot screen and tick them on under DSDT Fix Mask. To add them to your plist permanently, navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/ and edit config.plist under /ACPI/DSDT/Fixes/ with any text editor after you get to the desktop. (Included with MultiBeast default config.plist)

Hi Tony,

I followed your guide, using MB 8 to patch the install.

However, shutdown and sound are still not working. Any extra thing I need to do?

Do I still need to use clover configurator to edit any settings? Last I tried with clover configurator, I crashed the installation. I had reinstall 4 times already and still no luck.

My build :
Mobo :GA-X58A-UD3R
Graphics Card : Nvidia GT240

It takes about 30 mins to finish the installation. It is easy and clean.

1.UniBeast: Install OS X El Capitan on Any Supported Intel-based PC
Follow step 1-4
2. Open and run MultiBeast
Legacy Boot Mode, AUDIO ALC889, Network RealtekRTL8111 v2.2.1
PRESS "Build"
3. install Alternate NVIDIA Graphics Drivers

4. open clover configurator
mount EFI partition
open config.plist
BOOT - CHECK NVDA_DRV =1
quit and save
5. reboot

sound Ok, network ok, display ok

My build :
Mobo :GA-X58A-UD3R
Graphics Card : Nvidia GTX960

hello all,

is there any solution for USB 3 after a year ?

 

[holycowrepercussion]

How's everybody's CPU temps? Mine are unusually high. When I'm using the computer, I'm sitting at about 80 degrees Celsius. When running windows or linux on the same machine under higher load, the CPU only seems to be in the mid-60's. I'm wondering if anybody's got some tips for me.

I think I'll need to learn to edit DSDT's but at every attempt in the past, I've failed miserably.

I'm getting a DSMOS has arrived error when trying to load the installer using Clover. It quickly flashes white right after and gets stuck on a black screen. Any ideas where to start?

Do I need to format the intended SSD before doing the install? Or can I do an upgrade from 10.9 with this method?

Spoiler

I started over from step one and was able to get it installed using someone's EFI folder. When I boot into OS X I got a "Can't find /mach_kernel" error. I got the same results trying to boot using the USB drive.

Loading Darwin 10.1
No kernel Cache File '/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcashes/.87061B51' found
Loading kernel /mach_kernel
Can't find /mach_kernel

Decided to wipe the drive and start over since I probably had an old chimera bootloader that was messing things up. Installs fine, but never makes it into the first boot. Just goes to a black screen. Clover from the USB drive does not show the SSD as an option to boot from.

Spoiler

Edit:
Plugged into a different SATA port and it works now.

Edit #2:
Multibeast fails to install, and I do not see a log file in the library folder.
