Kernel Panic On Sierra Install For ASROCK H87 Pro4

[jordiraptur]

Soo.... it's been a long few days to say the least... I'm currently working on my second ever hackintosh build (which is for my brother) and I thought my first one (msi board) was tough but this is just on a whole new scale... Anywho... My first roadblock was that I couldn't even boot the installer without the io ports losing power (did not know this was a foreshadowing of me learning what kernel panick is and the frustrations to come) so I tried a unibeast stick instead and that actually installed. My second roadblock was that I couldn't boot from the hard drive itself (could only launch clover from the flash drive before I could choose to boot from my hard drive) which I assume is due to the fact that I couldn't enable xhci hand-off in EUFI for some god forsaken reason. BUT moving forward I posted my issue to this forum and some very helpful individual linked me to a thread where someone showed me how to add a Clover boot option to EUFI . Tried that but it said it couldn't find cd \boot\clover so... another roadblock. Did some googling and I came to the conclusion that maybe it didn't install the clover bootloaders to my hard drive thus it couldn't locate the directory. So, I went back to the good old clover method of making the install drive and well... here's where i reach my third and by far most frustrating roadblock. Every time I tried to boot into the installer the IO kept losing power. I did some more research and diagnosed this problem as kernel panic. Some very helpful gentleman revealed that you just need to check an option in Clover to prevent panic, and so I did. It launched the installer and installed successfully I assume so I go to launch it form my hard disk and... NOTHING. It start's panicking on boot all over again. Very frustrating... So guys... I need your help.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.

It start's panicking on boot all over again.

Boot your system in Verbose Mode and post a picture of your screen when it freezes/hangs.
At Clover Boot Screen press space bar and select Verbose (-v)

Hi! Updated my specs list. Thanks for reminding me to do that ! As for the Kernel Panick as you can see form the photos I posted I booted with Verbose (-v) and it goes to the Apple logo before the whole system just loses power in general.

You didn't boot in Verbose Mode, if you did you would not see the Apple logo.
At Clover Boot Screen press space bar and select Verbose (-v)
After you have selected Verbose (-v) choose Return at the bottom of the list, don't use Boot macOS with selected options!

Hi! I guess I fluffed it up on that aspect. I tried it with your instructions and it loads the text screen but then everything immediately loses power and it restarts the whole booting process. Almost like a bootloop. Will show what happens in pictures.

Add slide=0 kernel flag to the Boot Arguments in Clover's config.plist
Make sure that CsrActiveConfig is set to 0x67 not 0x03 in Clovers config.plist.

If that doesn't work, in addition to the above, try using OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi instead of OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi.

Hi! Again thanks for trying to help me with my problem Although the process is proving to be tough it is greatly appreciated that you're giving this your time. So I used clover configurator to make those changes you recommended and upon boot it appears the text shifted to the middle of the screen but still no dice. Exact same thing, it tries to boot and the rig looses power. I tried making that last change you suggested if the those didn't work and again, no dice. Same thing. Upon that, I was curious to see if install would even boot and it said something about my memory exceeding the requirements of OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi I included updated pictures below.

Also I see it appears to automatically check the disable=slide0 thing so I unchecked that to see if it would boot then and same loss of power still happens so... It appears the roadblock remains.
