I installed the latest El Cap from the App Store with success and then decided to try to get audio working natively (I've been using a USB audio device that 'pops' every time the machine wakes up). I'm using Clover.

I followed the guide here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298027-guide-aio-guides-for-hackintosh/page-2#entry2030060
which is linked to on this 30-page long thread here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-proboo...h-applehda-kext-fly-clover-bootloader-30.html

Before following the guide I had also installed Voodoo with no success on my Dell Optiplex 990.

When the system wouldn't restart, I booted into my cloned drive where I deleted the voodoo files according to what Multibeast indicated it had installed. I also deleted the DummyHDA.kext from S/L/E, which the guide above had had me create. Rebuilt cache/repaired permissions and restarted, but not before Carbon Copy Cloner popped on for its regular syncing of drives and it asked me if it should wait since I was booted on my not usual startup disk. I said postpone.

Restarted.

Still couldn't get into main boot drive: error with the Power Management kext.
But NOW I couldn't get back into the cloned drive!! Same error with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Something about being caught in backtrace.

Started up with USB El Capitan drive and deleted AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext from S/L/E as per this post: http://www.hackintosh.computer/?p=16

No luck.

Went ahead and used the USB drive to install Mac OS X on the drive again.

Still won't start up. It hangs with an error about the sleepenabler.kext.

What are my options here?

I've tried to delete sleepenabler.kext but I can't find it in EFI/kexts.
I've tried copying NullCPUPowerManagement from the USB to EFI/kexts using terminal in the the USB startup, but in order to do that I need to mount the EFI partition by creating a folder in a directory that it won't let me write to.

Feeling a little lost. Can anyone help?
 
I've also tried booting the cloned disk with the AppleIntelCPU kext issue with boot argument cpus=1 to no avail.

I think I need to either get NullCPUPowerManagement onto the cloned drive OR get sleepenabler OFF of the main startup drive that has now had the OS reinstalled.

But I can't figure out how.
 
Bumping for help.
 
Try deleting sleepenabler.kext from either S/L/E or L/E whichever one its in
