How to Create a macOS Sierra Public Beta Installation USB

[stevelucky]

That's your problem right there - MacPro3,1 does not meet the minimum spec to install macOS Sierra.
Try changing to an iMac14,2.

Yep, that did it. Thanks!

I'm stuck at

"iMac.local com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.ntp.sntp.134) <Warning>: Service exited with abnormal code: 1"
"busy timeout[0],2 (240s), kextd wait (0): AppleACPICPU"

I'm on clover r3716

Any suggestions/workarounds?

Update your Clover to 3726 version, working well !

Thanks Tony for your great work. My GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 with Sierra it´s running well. Only the HD 530 issues on the left corner. Clover 3726 version.

hello Everyone
i updated from EC and now i get this (1st photo) and after like 15minutes i get this (second photo) but i never moves past it any ideas ?
the mouse is responsive at the apple logo but there is nothing else.
i think it might be the "updateReport _peerManager is missing"
but i am not sure.
and i can install on a drive but that new drive never appears in clover r3726 or r3270, the two i use
r3726 uefi r3270 for legacy

What is the best way to include the Rehabman NVME kext to install the Sierra GM on a 950 Pro? I have the used the generic NVME driver up through 10.11.6 and then replaced the kext post-install. Sierra KP's with that old NVME kext, so I need to inject the Rehabman replacement in my installer. Is it as simple as putting it in the efi/clover/kexts/other folder? Do I need to include the IONVMeFamily.kext from 10.12 in the installer USB somewhere?

I'm not very good at this, admittedly, so if I am talking our my rear, please excuse me.

SSD - 950 Pro now works for me perfectly! The only two weird issues that remain for me is this odd flickering with HD530 graphics that others have reported. I've been surprised that people expect this issue to be resolved with the public release of Sierra on the 20th, isn't this Gold Master supposed to be all but final? I can't see them resolving graphics at the last second.

GPU - I tried to use a GTX 950 with this build but for some reason when I install the Sierra Nvidia graphics and restart, my monitor goes to power down after the Clover boot screen. This after I changed the config.plist to reflect the nvda_drv=1 that i used in El Capitan. If I boot off of my clover USB, it boots, but the graphics are at 1024x768 no matter what I do. Odd.

Hi all

Had a working el cap install so all bios settings still ok - even got NVMe drive recognised by Sierra gm boot usb to clover - but only boots to Apple logo with progress bar 3/4 way across?

Screen shot attached from verbose. Last line going on about "Apple LMUController start error could not get SMC Provider" ? Any help really appreciated. Thanks
(Sorry will add screen shot shortly on iPad and can't attach photo!)
