[ISSUE] Reaching Installer on Gigabyte Z170X-UD5-TH with GTX 970

[jamie763p]

Hi there,

First things first- I have read and attempted most of the solutions on the 'Big List of Solutions' page, I'd be appreciative if people didn't just link me back there! Secondly, I am a fairly experienced hackintosher, and having tried most of the usual tricks in the book with no luck it's safe to say that this error is really puzzling me!

I'm attempting to install OS X 10.11.2 onto my Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5-TH Board, running an Intel Core i7 6700k CPU (not overclocked or anything), 16GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM and a GTX 970 (Gigabyte G1 Windforce standard card). I was previously able to get this machine to boot to the installer, and install just fine whilst using an AMD 5770 card. I'm now redoing the installation having got a new graphics card and SSD for the machine!

I followed this guide - http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-guides/179221-skylake-starter-guide.html -
Here is a screenshot of the kernel panic. - http://imgur.com/g6fFsQG -

Yes, I've tried Verbose and Safe Mode. When this is attempted, the boot sequence runs until 'Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport', then reboots. It's gone past NVDA_Startup: Official, and DSMOS has arrived, so I don't think it's a root device issue? Again, I have tried stuff like fix_display in Clover Configurator.

I'd be really grateful if someone would be able to point me in the right direction. It's not the end of the world if I have to swap the card out just to get to the installer, but from what I remember from my first attempt even when I swapped the cards out AFTER I'd installed OS X, and installed NVidia's Web Drivers, I still had this reboot loop issue.

Many thanks.

Look at config.plist on USB and ensure injet nvidia or ati are NOT true(unchecked in clover config).
The only boot flag I use is nvda_drv=1 after the drivers are in for my 970.

There were a lot of posts about this Bluetooth panic in the http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-guides/179221-skylake-starter-guide.html thread. Someone suggested just installing a Bluetooth device, someone had a Clover patch, maybe there was another fix too, I've forgotten. (Definitely make sure you disable your serial port in the BIOS, if you haven't already, though some people said that wasn't enough.)
