Good news. Sounds like that could be the source of your issues. Makes sense that it is hardware as the guide works but wasn't for you.

I'm stuck at step 4 of the El Capitan install. I've only seen one bar and it never moves, 4hr+. I've tried both an 8gb and 64gb flash drives. I'm unsure if it's my build or how I set up the drives. Suggestions? I have this exact build, except I have 32gb ddr4 RAM. http://snazzylabs.com/article/skylake-mac-mini-hackintosh/

you need to download one of the following config.plist files:
as you can see in this section of this guide.

Prepare Bootable USB Drive Installer This whole section should be performed on the working Mac/Hackintosh

on step 7

Customize the USB install drive so all USB ports on the machine are recognized for the installer. UniBeast should have left a drive mounted that appears as "EFI" in Finder. Go to that drive and:
  • Go to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/ and copy the USBInjectall.kext you downloaded (get it from the "Release" directory of the ZIP) into 10.11/ AND 10.10/ (must be in both!)
  • Copy the config.plist you downloaded over the default one at EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
you dont need to follow step 13 for the config.plist because you already followed step 7

just follow the next steps for section 13...

Copy the following files from your postinstall directory to the EFI partition:



    • Any SSDTs to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/
 
Hi, I've got problem with sleep.. I can't figure out what I've done, it was working fine and recently it can't go to sleep..It just put the screen on sleep..


Any solution ? Anything that I can provide in order to see what's the problem ?

Thank you !

[ATTACHED : Console logs during a "sleep" AND Config.plist]

(FIXED : It was actually a mac problem ( not mackintosh ) : after doing a pmset -g assertions found something with
"org.cups.cupsd" and I delete a printer and it is working again !! )

First time in OS X the menu bar is good,
After install MultiBeast several times (I have windows 10 installed before install OS X, now dual boot is running good), face a problem.

Problem with text on the menu bar, but text on the right (date, time...) and text in sub menu is good.
I have tried to change to dark menu bar mode, but can't fix it.

Please help! (menu bar images in attachment)
