[Need help] Guide to installing macOS Sierra on ASRock Z170 K4

[TabrisDarkPeace]

If anyone can shed light on this while I attempt the re-install of macOS Sierra (10.12.3) I would really appreciate it, although I have come quite far by myself I feel now might be the time to ask others for assistance.

Okay, now it takes over 8 minutes to boot & I'm back at a SBBoD even when booting from the USB...

WTF?

Stuck at this (VERBOSE) when attempting reinstall:


After a few minutes the following line appears:
busy timeout [0], (240s) kextd wait (0): 'Apple ACPI CPU'

WHICH LOOKS LIKE A TYPO!

I swear it should be looking for an APIC or something instead!?

Maybe I'm just tired?

Safe Mode boots to the SBBoD if I leave it for over 10 minutes..... but then just hangs.

Okay, I tried heaps of stuff and managed to get it working (installed, E2400 detected but unplugged so far).

It boots MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 pretty fast too!

OK, I am surfing the Internet (this site) using my Hackintosh on an ASRock Z170 Fatal1ty K4 motherboard.

Sadly I have no audio,... or no audio yet.

The installation of the Clover-ALC1150.pkg fails with a signing error I suspect.

As I believe that I may be able to get HDMI Audio working via my monitor if I use a video card I am installing an Gigabyte branded NVIDIA GeForce GT 980 Ti G1 OC that I have lying around...

Wish me luck all.
