Day 1
The only issues I have are sometimes a boot time and stand-by panics.
After installing 10.12.3 I noticed that the trace of crash was only caused by/traced back to FakeSMC.
I have then downloaded latest FakeSMC by rehab from 2017-01-17
https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek/downloads and installed it via EFI Mounter and it seems I don't have issues anymore.
However! When mounting with EFI Mounter v3 I had some issues and I think I am beginning to understand. EFI Mounter v3 always shows all my hard disks but sometimes the order is different if I run diskutil list
atm it is:
Code:
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Storage 2.0 TB disk0s2
/dev/disk1 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk1
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Time Machine 2.0 TB disk1s2
/dev/disk2 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk2
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS Photos 319.7 GB disk2s2
/dev/disk3 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk3
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk3s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 499.2 GB disk3s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk3s3
/dev/disk4 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *31.6 GB disk4
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk4s1
2: Apple_HFS Install OS X El Captain 31.2 GB disk4s2
The 500GB drive is my BOOT DRIVE / SSD and atm appears as /dev/disk3 (internal, physical):
However it used to appear as disk0 or disk1 and it seems to move around with every boot.
Because of history or Multibeast (not sure) I have got an EFI partition on at least one of the 2TB drives.
Cause of that maybe that EFI partition was loaded sometimes.
When "fixing" my install, I mounted multiple times and copied the same recent REHAB fakeSMC to both.
Should all of my drives have an EFI partition?
How would I tell clover what drive to use? Can I tell it by uuid or something?
I am trying to kill all the EFI partitions that are not on my "boot drive" or "os x installer usb-zip" now, via

Code:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
sudo gpt remove -i 1 disk2
---------------------------
Day 2
This is how my diskutil list looks now
Code:
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk0
1: Apple_HFS Storage 2.0 TB disk0s2
/dev/disk1 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk1
1: Apple_HFS Time Machine 2.0 TB disk1s2
/dev/disk2 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk2
1: Apple_HFS Photos 319.7 GB disk2s2
/dev/disk3 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk3
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk3s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 499.2 GB disk3s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk3s3
/dev/disk4 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *31.6 GB disk4
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk4s1
2: Apple_HFS Install OS X El Captain 31.2 GB disk4s2
Disk4 is a zip drive.
I am going to reboot and see if I still have any issues with boot crashes, sleep crashes.
Today my hackintosh slept for 12 hours in deep sleep (e.g. have to weak up through power-button/mouse, fan is shut off)
------------------------
Day 3
Everything seems ultra stable now. Deep Sleep and Wake-Up works for really long times. The only thing I had to do was disable Power Nap.
No more crashes on startup, nor on sleep/wakeup.
Thanks for your support Violet Dragon!
