Just wanted to document my findings regarding Skylake and Asus Maximus VIII Hero. I managed to boot to OSX desktop using 14,2 profile from clover configurator with NO other options. However i can only manage to install via USB, thats to say, i had to slave my SSD with a sata to usb converter...

Cheers but the Samsung EVO is working 100% i have checked. Its connected in Sata port 1 on my mobo and all other drives have been removed to eliminate any conflicts. The issue is with El Capitan not being able to unmount the SSD in prep for the install. Looked all over this forum and some people...

**UPDATE** i tried formatting via USB again and this time it recognised the SSD but when i selected it, it shows the error: "OS X could not be installed on your computer Unable to unmount volume for repair Quit the installer and restart." I have already tried restarting but results in same...

Hi Guys, I have finally been able to reach the OSX installer after weeks of messing around but i am now faced with the installer not being able to format my target drive, i think it has a problem unmounting the disk resulting in this error? Erase process has failed. Unmounting Disk Wiping...

Well my SSD is formatted (i did this with my macbook pro and slaved the drive via USB- it is now in SATA port 0 and all other drives removed, save for the install USB) but still does not show as a selectable destination drive in the El Capitan installer? Any ideas?

FINALLY! i have reached the apple OSX installer. Wow progress never looked so sweet :D I am going to writeup a very detailed step by step tut for us technologically challenged folk when/ and if i ever manage to install El Capitan on Skylake. So at the OSX installer i can see the SSD drive i...

Hey man, did you ever manage to get your board working? I have the same motherboard as you and its killing me to get to the installer. I have also followed the guide but im not using SSDTs, i dont recommend them as they usually end in disaster. Why dont you try your config without the USB SSDT?

There is no onboard wifi on the Maximus VIII Hero ... Are you saying that without onboard wifi it will not work?

I feel your pain WeedGod, im trying to do the same but cannot reach the installer. If you manage to resolve, would you be a good God and let us all know how? I'll do the same!

Yes well, i have the basic settings config.plist on the EFI partition made by unibeast. I have taken out both GTX980 cards and am running HDMI from the motherboard to my monitor. I tried to boot with both the default config.plist (made by unibeast) and with the McPro 3,1 SMBIOS added into...
