Direct Update to OS X El Capitan Using Clover

[mazdamer]

Correct, copy all kexts/10.10 to kexts/10.11.
Since the 10.11 Installer replaces AppleHDA.kext;
1. disable SIP
2. restart
3. run cloverALC-110 script
4. enable SIP
5. restart.

What is the SIP?

What is the SIP?

System Integrity Protection (SIP)

I've had a slightly different experience:

1. I had to include *only* FakeSMC in the 10.11 folder. One other kext was causing a crash on boot. Not sure which yet, but I'm guessing it was an audio kext.
2. The boot option was initially "Boot Mac OS X" not "Boot OSX Install." Not a big deal, but sure caused confusion when it was crashing too!

As always, thanks for the guide!

I also am getting the grey screen + beach ball top left corner.
My USB ports are all also disabled.

I think the issue has to do with the new USB SMBIOS changes in 10.11. (I am using SMBIOS MacPro6,1)

What SMBIOS is everyone else using that's encountering this issue?


Edit: Using Rampage IV Black Edition + 4930K / 64GB Ram / Titan X and attempting to upgrade from Yosemite 10.10.5

Hmm I got a hint now from the verbose boot that something with my SMBIOS may has failed.

I use a Macbook Pro SMBIOS because I use the IDs from my real Macbook for getting iMessage and Facetime to work.

Maybe their is the problem...
Will test the standard SMBIOS and edit this post to let ya know

Yes, that's roughly what it looked like! I deleted all kexts except FakeSMC from the 10.11 folder which solved that problem.

I have disable SIP like in the guide:
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x28</string>
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>
but the cloverALC-110 script says is enabled:

File: audio_cloverALC-110.command_v1.0f
EFI partition is mounted
System Integrity Protection status: enabled (Custom Configuration).

Configuration:
Apple Internal: disabled
Kext Signing: disabled
Filesystem Protections: disabled
Debugging Restrictions: disabled
DTrace Restrictions: disabled
NVRAM Protections: disabled

This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.
OK to patch
Confirm Realtek ALC887 (y/n):

What i'm doing wrong?
