Direct Update to OS X El Capitan Using Clover

[JoeStorm]

I've followed the guide but I'm still getting the beachball upon reboot. Is there any way to delete the temp install partition and retry?

There's no such thing as a RtVariables section in my config.plist, where I'm supposed to add this then? I updated to the latest Clover version.

Same here. I added it at the bottom, just above the final 2 lines.

However, when booting the installer, I get a spinning beachball on a gray screen after a really long boot time. The problem is essentially the same as the first people in this thread also had. I have launchd exit with error code 255 instead, however.

I use the iMac 14,2 ID on a GA-Z87X-UD3H, Core i7-4770K, and 2 GeForce GTX 680. Internal graphics HD4600 are disabled.

Everything worked great in 10.10.5 - and still do if I boot that instead of the installer.

Unless you have added MLB and Rom in RT Variables in clover config tool you won't have the entry in your config.plist.

I do have Clover configurator, what should I do then? I saw the RtVariable section in the configurator.

Aha. Can you tell us where we should add it? I don't know if us doing that bit wrong is what's breaking our 10.11 installers but I'd like to know if I did that part right so I can rule that out as the culprit.

Same setup as you two. I too have been running USB audio since mid '13 or so. I went with (amazon) B000KW2YEI, but B00OJ5AV8I will work fine too.

Have you guys tried to do a clean install via USB? I can't get the USB to get into the setup screen.

I like B000KW2YEI better... I will order one .. thanks

Direct update works (THANKS!), except toleda audio patch see audio id = 0
In my IORegistry i see layout id 00 00 00 00 too.

Gigabyte Z97x-Gaming 3 with ALC1150.

Any help with clover/dsdt config?
Audio was working before with yosemite + uni/multibeast combo.

EDIT: Works now, layout 1 injected in clover, then toleda + first port
ssdt for overclocked i7 to go...

Not a new problem with El Capitan, search works very well.
No Audio After Sleep/Wake - Realtek ALC AppleHDA
Note: CodecCommander solution does not work from EFI

Thank you sir for taking your time to answer to my questions. I do use search but it give me a ton of pages to read. It confuses me ... so high tech....

I was wondering something ... this is something I will pay money to get it .. if would be available for download . Is it possible to create a software that will scan your hardware and install the correct settings accordingly ?

I had installed Yosemite on a MBR partition. El Capitan installer is not allowing me to upgrade as it is looking or a GUID partition. Is there any way for me to upgrade the OS without having to do a clean install?

Thanks for the guide! Upgraded from Yosemite.

I had to execute the Toleda Audio Patch for sound and re-enable TRIM support.

Also - I'm running little snitch, make sure you update that too.

EDIT - Spoke too soon. USB 2 & 3 work from the back ports - however the front usb headers are not recognized. Small price to pay as I notice that my Safari/youtube performance has dramatically improved. I'll just need to hang more off the back ports. Also - VMWare v8.0.0 and v8.0.1 running with a Win7 guest machine - the guest loses the second monitor. (yes I've reinstalled the vmware tools, etc.)

EDIT 2 - USB now working after applying the Rename patch (Rename EHC1 to EH01 & EHC2 to EH02.) VMWare still acting weird with dual screens - however there is a work around that 're-enabled' the second monitor for guests.
