ASRock Deskmini 110 issues

Not open for further replies.
OS X was able to detect my 8GB x 2 memory on my H110M-STX until I installed Multibeast.
I used Clover Configurator to fix it by inserting the relevant memory sections...

Which Broadcom BT/WiFi card are you using?
 
A BIOS fix has been released by Asrock for the H110M-STX:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H110M-STX/?cat=Beta

Each of bios settings below is necessary, or the installation process will suffer unexpected error and fail.

1. If your CPU supports VT-d, disable it

2. IOAPIC 24-119 Entries, disable it

3. If your system has Secure Boot Mode, disable it

4. If your system has IO Serial Port, disable it

5. Set XHCI Handoff to Enabled

Hope this helps!
 
Tony, Tony, Tony, the BIOS fix works!!! Thank you. How did you make ASRock to create this BIOS specifically to support MAC OS X installation?

Now I can boot into macOS without the need of a USB Bluetooth adapter!

That was fast ! I expected it "someday" not a few days. Mine is still running smooth and silent. Good to have for future reference though. Thanks guys.

What they did was to disable it in the BIOS. The issue initially was it was enabled by default although we do not have a com port at all. They must have just set the BIOS default to disable.

They must have responded to my help desk ticket and forum post (I'm BigMcLargeHuge over there)! I got a reply on September 7th that they were looking into it and I guess they decided to do it. Of course I've already edited my DSDT and now have my Hackintosh nearly finished. I just need to test the Broadcom Wifi and Bluetooth. It is a splendid little box and the
 
Hey, I bought one of these machines after seeing this post. I've got El Capitan 10.11.6 installed but I'm having some issues. I've got LAN & graphics working but I can't get Audio working. I've tried the ALC283 package in MultiBeast but that's not working for me. Could you do a tutorial post please @mopidicks?
 
I just checked my build and I don't have the ALC283 working too. Let me try to fix it in the next few days....
 
To get that working I had to do it twice. The second time I mounted the clover EFI partition then I added the alc283 (nuc only) kext with Multibeast by itself. No other picks from MB. Then I had headphone front jack audio to my receiver and it survives rebooting. I learned it from using the Skylake NUC Guide thread for El Cap.
 
Thanks for the replies. I've tried installing the ALC283 kext twice like you said making sure the EFI partition was mounted but I still can't get it working. I've also tried a new install from scratch following that Skylake NUC guide, just without changing the SSDTs, etc. Any ideas? :)
 
Any news? My Deskmini+Dell wifi/bt will arrive next week!
