Direct Update to OS X El Capitan Using Clover

[Mohicanspap]

Followed step by step. Clover was installing and I walked away since it had a 28 min installation. Walked back after a while and saw a OS X installation failed message. Rebooted and now my boot drive doesnt show up at all in Clover boot. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Installation USB doesnt want to work anymore now. Loads half way then restarts computer.

If you're referring to Post #1, yes. If not, what are you asking?

If your Yosemite install is not based on Clover (i.e. it's based on Chimera etc.), then no, this thread is not for you.

You have a working install of Yosemite that uses Clover as the bootloader? OK, so I misunderstood. Then yes, post #1 is your pathway.

Original Post:
I have followed the guide. As far as I am aware, I've done everything correctly. Yes Yosemite works perfectly.

When I launch the installer from clover for Mac OS as instructed, I get this.

Thanks for any help.

Edit:

I solved my issue, somehow the newest clover didn't install correctly. I installed it again and the install worked.

I look at it this way. If you have Yosemite working and you have issues updating to El Capitan, you didn't follow the guide correctly, as I didn't.

I must be the village idiot.

I added what was indicated to config.plist file ( since you can not open clover configurator ) . I tried with the option 0x0 , 0x3 and 0.67 , all options could not get past the screen apple .

I put it in the folder 10.11 kexts all ... ( fakesmc , nullcpu , ethernet and USB 3.0).

I added the flag to see the verbose mode , and I find the following error ...

Attached config.plist for more info.

Any suggest? What I'm doing bad?

Thank you in advance.

How did you fix this? I cant find the solution! HELP!

Hey pascalhome,
I had the same problem. All you have to do is put the LATEST version of FakeSMC into you 10.11 folder and then, once the install is done, it WILL boot. But beware, there is another step. This step is that you have to replace OsxAptioFixDrv with OsxAptioFix2Drv if you want it to boot a second time.

I hope it helps.

Does this work if I'm using MBR and not GPT or would I need to apply some kind of patch to the installer?

I didi successfully updgrade to Sierra from El capitan using this guide.
I had a kp at first boot after installation. I had to remove all the voodoops2 controller and device.
vers happy with Sierra for now. System is snappier than el capitan.
config :
intel core i7 4770
msi b85 g41 pc mate
gtx 660
