After a reinstall, finally got Sierra up and running on this beast, but it still feels very much like a kludge. As I suspected, one needs to use KextBeast—simply dropping the kexts into the appropriate folders won't work.
I'm using the iMac10,1 sysdef and DSDT for my Gigabyte board. Clover is the latest from SourceForge (3675). As I've had DSDT issues with Clover on my old MacPro3,1/El Capitan config, I'm beginning to wonder if that's the problem—the old one worked better without a DSDT. I do have Clover Configurator, but haven't messed with it yet.
Issue 1: Continuing graphics troubles. Since I've got a Maxwell-based card now (GTX 750ti), I need the nVidia web drivers. The first one (367.10.07.05) was causing my Hackintosh to shake shake shake its rebooty; it would only boot with the 'nv_disable=1' flag. The latest (367.10.10.10) simply refuses to load, even with the 'nvda_drv=1' flag and "Use nVidia Web Drivers" chosen in System Preferences.
Issue 2: Can't update to Beta 3. The App Store works all right, but clicking "updates" shows only the Beta 3 is available (I've got the original Beta 1). Trying to update this gets stuck on "Calculating, 0 bytes of 1.81 GB downloaded".
Issue 3: Half my USB ports don't work. I found this out after my USB mouse (not the Magic Trackpad—I haven't even tried Bluetooth yet) failed to work after getting Clover and the kexts installed. I had to plug the mouse into several ports to find one that worked.
Issue 4: No audio (and therefore no Siri). No surprise here; I haven't installed the audio kext(s).
