Hi All, first time posting on here! So I gladly welcome your support. I've got a tantalising issue.. the box I'm trying to use has booted into the installer once and once only (when it did boot to installer I saw no HDD's), a frustrating issue to say the least.
I've tried pretty much every option I can to replicate the first boot I managed within the Clover boot menu, but every option I choose kernel dumps me at the same spot, see image...
Tried a whole selection of boot arguments, none seem to make a difference.
Did all the build on a real Macbook Air 6.2 running Yosemite, built the installer with the latest Unibeast 6.2.0 & El Capitan from the App store just before Sierra came out. No problems at all with Unibeast.
The system is booting Legacy and Unibeast was built with the legacy option. Onboard VT-D, GPU, Serial, Parallel, and PS2 ports have been disabled, SATA mode is set to AHCI (IDE combinations have been tested).
Thy Specs:
MB: DH77KC (KHC7701H)
CPU: Intel Core i5-3330 3ghz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 210 (Two dell 19'' screens connected via HDMI/DVI -- both working on the one time installer loaded!)
RAM: 8gb DDR3
DISKS: SATA0 500gb WD Green (Win7 OS), SATA1 500gb WD Blue (Target el capitan test install disk).
A Kingston 300-series 240gb SSD was also tested as the install disk to no avail. If I get a test install working, I'll be re-installing onto this SSD.
I've also had a play with Clover Configurator to try and see if that could help resolve the issue by mounting the EFI and going through the config. Please find my config file:
The install media is a 32gb Class 10 Kingston MicroSD card in a Kingston MicroUSB reader, devices mounts properly on other Mac's and the target PC in question.
Now do I spend another day trying to figure out what's going on with this box or try a Core i5 Dell Optiplex 3020 I have laying about?
Look forward to hearing responses and hopefully a simple solution!
