I would love a guide! Have nearly the same parts list and I'm stuck trying to get Sierra to boot. Progress bar stuck halfway under Apple logo

Verbose mode output ends on

IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 8, sm 0x0

@zkennedy137, @dustmason, please update your profile (personal details) with your build (Motherboard or Model, CPU and Graphics Card).

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

Would be great if you could post a guide covering your experiences with the ASRock H170M-ITX/DL motherboard. I'm about to embark on a build using the components listed below and would really appreciate an understanding of the steps that you went through and the various problems that you encountered.

Motherboard: ASRock H170M-ITX/AC LGA 1151
Processor: Core i5 6500
Memory: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 DIMM
Hard Drive: HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 3TB
Case: Thermaltake Core V1

I'm assuming that there isn't too much difference between the DL and AC versions of the motherboard. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried installing FakeSMC with and without plugins to the installer?

Also what are you complete specs

Have you tried installing FakeSMC with and without plugins to the installer?

also if that doesnt work try nv_disable=1 to get into installer and first boot to setup the system
and if that doesnt work we will work through it together but the specs will help most

I just got a build up and running today that uses the H170M itx/ac board which I assume is more or less similar to yours. The spec for the build is:

ASRock H170M itx/ac
i5 6500 processor
Integrated graphics - HD530
8 GB Memory (1 x 8 GB Ballistix Sport LT)
3 TB hard drive
Thermaltake Core V1 case.

Only real issue I had with the build was the initial install from the USB stick. However cmn699 quickly sorted that out by advising that I add FixOwnership to the Plist using Clover Configurator. Post install using MultiBeast went without a hitch - see this link.

I'm not at the new machine at present however I will post a copy of the Plist in case it might be of help to you.

Kudos to cnm699 for responding so quickly
