I guess we are just trailblazers :)

Anycase, I have tried a number of things tonight and alias all failed.

I am going to look more at the bios again - Graham do you have the same setup as me ?

For me it is not urgent as I have machines which I use for the day job which are Mac but I would love to get this working as it is a really nice rig.

Tonight
Tried with Yosemite and it just restarts so need to look again, but as I moving between windows 10 and hackintosh then something can always be missed.

Update

  • I have tried building the installer on a true Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air
  • I have tried USB 2.0 and USB3.0 USB sticks
  • I have tried several different manufacturers of USB Stick
  • I have tried all ports

No change in results - I will do some -v prints tomorrow.

Have you looked at:
Skylake Starter Guide:
 
Build 1
Z97 Deluxe |  i7 4790K |  GeForce GTX 970

Please put your specific motherboard model, CPU model, and GPU model into the system configuration area on the left, and/or your signature. It's hard to give you good advice without having that information on hand on every post.

If it's also a Skylake board, you will also need the material in the link that Ken394 provided. If it's not a Skylake board you should start another thread because it's a different problem.
 
Jeepers
GA-H87N-WIFI |  i7 4790S |  GeForce GT 740
I have tried now tried the SKYLAKE guide and in all honesty cant see where I am going wrong.

I have tried to put all the information into the below (cut and paste the actions) and also attached the config.plist and photo.

I still cannot get passed the prohibited sign

I didnt understand the bit in the installer about the clover configurator so if anyone can explain that it would be appreciated.

Any tips would be great. :banghead:

OS X El Capitan 10.11

SYSTEM BUILD

4x16G Cors VengLPX DDR4 2133
In Win 805C Black Mid Tower
Intel Core i7 6700K s1151 *OEM
Asus Z170-PREMIUM Motherboard
4TB WD4003FZEX Black SATA3 64M
TLWDN4800 450 N Dual PCIe Adapter for Wifi

Actions untaken
Attempted the below with the graphics card in and out and with and without 32gb of RAM so only 2 slots were populated
Removed the WD Black drives from SATA chain
Removed the SSD’s from SATA chain


Followed the instructions in the guide

0. tl;dr (i.e. the REALLY short version of the rest of the guide)
You can try this config.plist with USBInjectAll.kext

Otherwise...

1. BIOS Settings
The BIOS settings are fairly typical for modern machines:
• Load Optimized Defaults
• If your BIOS has a VT-d setting, disable it
• If your system has CFG-Lock, disable it
• If your system has Secure Boot Mode, disable it
• Set OS Type to Other OS
• Set XHCI Handoff to Enabled
• If you have a Serial port, disable it


2. IOAPIC Fix
Without this fix, many things don't work, including but not limited to SATA, Ethernet ports, USB, many PCI devices, sound devices, and etc. Basically virtually nothing works.

Fortunately, the fix is relatively easy: add this <dict> entry to EFI/CLOVER/config.plist in the KextsToPatch array:
Code:
<key>KextsToPatch</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Skylake APIC fix, discovered by Pike R. Alpha</string>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
wegQD7bw
</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleAPIC</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
vhcAAACQ
</data>
</dict>
If you're interested in more background, see this post.

3. SMBIOS

You should use a SMBIOS system definition. MacPro3,1 works as always. For instance, if you open your EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with Clover Configurator, choose the SMBIOS screen on the left, hit the Magic Wand button, select Mac Pro and then MacPro3,1 and then hit both shake buttons a few times and close the screen and File/Save.

If you want to use an official Skylake system definition, the only one available so far is iMac17,1 (though if you use this with an Nvidia card you will need Fix #4 from this thread):
Code:
<key>SMBIOS</key>
<dict>
<key>BiosReleaseDate</key>
<string>09/22/2015</string>
<key>BiosVendor</key>
<string>Apple Inc.</string>
<key>BiosVersion</key>
<string>IM171.88Z.0105.B00.1509221819</string>
<key>Board-ID</key>

<key>BoardManufacturer</key>
<string>Apple Inc.</string>
<key>BoardType</key>

<key>BoardVersion</key>
<string>iMac17,1</string>

Ok so i have to say close to throwing in the towel here

tried all usb ports
tried most of the guides
tried multiple USB sticks

and you know the worst thing is that when tried all the ports in sequence then on two attempts the boot got further without any changes to switches

On this board z170 premium by Asus take top USB c as 1 then if you do that and work right and down then usb ports 4 and 7 worked once, well moved us forwards.

7 did the best but failed with ATHR :21

Tried to boot again not touched anything and then it didnt work at all - just paging errors


Please could someone help me - really would be appreciated.
 
Think it is the config.list

Going to use a vanilla one and see

using port 3 (down and right) starting with USB C on back as 0 then this now got to en0 channel changed to 1

But there are lots and lots of errors

More soon.
