[Guide] El Capitan on the Skylake H170N-WIFI

[eseanq]

This is a head scratcher. Updated my bios to the f22e, double checked to make sure settings in the first post stuck, and corrected them if they didn't.

Remade my USB stick using UniBeast 9.x, dumped the USBInject into 10.10, 10.11, & 10.14 & swapped the config.plist.

Booted into clover, selected the Install Mojave. The progress bar gets to maybe 50/60% and just hangs. If it's moving, I can't tell.

Put any kexts essential to the boot process into /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other only.
Delete all of the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.* folders leaving only /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.

Might have to just hold off on this until the weekend. Still not able to get past the progress bar/loading screen


Welp. The third USB stick did the trick. Lol. Installing Mojave.

I'm pretty sure I'm an idiot.
I thought I was grabbing 10.14.0. Apparently it was 10.14.1. Now to find where I can grab an official copy

From where did you download your 10.14.1 ?

From where did you download your 10.14.1 ?

Direct from the store. I've always had issues finding earlier versions once an update gets released. Even their Downloads page defaults to the .1

So you don’t have or have access to a real Mac? You’re fine with either 14.0 or 14.1 as you eventually want to update to 14.1 anyway..

I do have a real mac.

Of course that is the way it has to be, they will only ever support the current / latest version.

If you have a real Mac then you get the installer via the App Store.

Which defaults to 10.14.1

I understand completely that the community is helpful, and I appreciate it. I'm just saying that I've gone over my bios a dozen times, tried different USB ports, different usb thumb drives. I've only been able to get to the Installer portion once, and my machine reboots before finishing. Try the same USB stick again & I can't even get to the installer.

Installing El Cap was a breeze for me compared to this.

Mojave is off topic in this El Capitan forum - Post in Mojave Desktop Support.

Anyone successfully gotten your H107N-WiFi HD 530 to work at 2560x1440@60Hz or more? The motherboard specs state for more than 1080p, we can't use the DVI port, but the HDMI ports.
