Guys
I need some assistance i cant seem to get the El cap installer to work , i have pretty much read every thread here and over at insanely on x99 and something is wrong ..... I have tried many methods of making the installer but none of them seem to work for me ... I recently got into hackintosh again and over the weekend i made a few upgrades here an there and had a spare SSD so i was able to get 10.10.5 working using rampages dev method.... Of course then i decided to go and shoot for el capitan ohhh boy what a mistake but now its stuck in my head and i need to get it to work
So let me guide you throught my procedure maybe you can spot the mistake since many on this thread have had sucess using the same cpu and Asus motherboards... First things first i have an overclock of 4.6 on my system completely stable tested in windows i dont know if this is the culprit or not but i just want to mention it ....
Step 1 Bios adjustments:
Advanced > USB Configuration > …
Intel xHCI Mode = Auto
xHCI Legacy Support = Enabled
EHCI Legacy Support = Enabled
xHCI Hand-off = Enabled
EHCI Hand-off = Enabled
BOOT > …
Fast Boot = Disabled
Secure Boot = Other OS
Key Management = Clear Secure Boot Keys
Step 2 Making the installer
So yeah after many many tries and config.plists i have come close to get the installer to work but not quite there yet. The method that came pretty close was to make the installer using the terminal command to create the installer and then using clover to install with the rampage devs kexts and SSDT plus the config.plist of lokicat on post # 41 of this thread... Of course nv_disable=1 verbose and changed the smbios to Macpro 5,1 i can work with the 6,1 later i want to be able to boot and make the install first...
Step 3
I boot override to the USB and used a USB2.0 port of the front pannel in my case so i can discard a USB 3.0 issue ... then the boot takes about 8 minutes rhough all of the stuff i am no expert but i can see a couple of errors(some sound assertion errors ans stuff) but no KP and then bam a blank screen like it wants to load the installer but nothing happens i have waited out maybe 30 mins and nothing happens.....
Now
1.-
Is there a way to extract the installer log ?? I know that probably not but i want to ask since having that might give me the key of what is going on ....
2.- I am tempted to go and make a linux drive so i can extract de DSDT and SSDT to check if that may help me get through the installation ... thoughts ??
3.- Users with Asus motherboards do you think i missed something in the bios settings ????
4.- I would love to troubleshoot the old way and use different GPUs and stuff to see if the hardware is the culprit here but this system is hard tubed and moving stuff is pretty much out of the question
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks guys
