Hello everyone,
I have been using Yosemite for a year now and needed to update to Sierra for a couple of programs I need to use.
The problem is I am now stuck on the second step of the install process (see steps below). I have backed up my files but have no access to another mac to rebuild the bootable USB. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the noobness to come !
These are the steps I followed to install Sierra, following the online guide on this site :
1 - Create USB with Legacy Boot option
2 - Plug the USB key in back port
3 - Reboot and select boot from USB
4 - From Clover boot options select "Boot Mac OS X from USB"
4 - Sierra installs, then restarts computer (USB key still in)
5 - Select the drive Sierra is now installed onto (Sierra logo on HFS drive) and boot
6 - Panics and reboot instantly (apple logo, *empty* loading bar, then reboot)
These are the boot flags : dart=0 -v (I tried kext-dev-mode=1 also)
Attached is a screenshot of the boot log.
My setup is as follows :
- Dual monitor (DVI and HDMI) : only using DVI whilst installing
- ATI HD5770
- Core i5-2500K
- MSI B75MA-P45
- Dual SSD : one for system, other for data
I have tried semi-randomly to change settings in clover here and there to no avail. I have pretty much selected every option available... no success and always the same exact problem (progress bar shows then immediately reboots). This is my only working computer, and I'm in total despair. After 6 hours straight of random debugging, I'm calling for help!
Edit : I must say I noticed I have UEFI on my computer but chose legacy when creating the USB key. In my bios settings I selected LEGACY/UEFI mode. I have to my knowledge no way of re-creating another USB stick...
