Hi Everyone,

My Sierra install stops at the very beginning with Apple logo. In verbose mode it gives a line of + signs like:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++_

(no other usable message) and keyboard backlight turns off.

I will try to summarize here every system info and the methods which I already tried. Please let me know if I left something out and I will add it.

Install type: clean install from USB
Motherboard: G31M-ES2L-FI (BIOS, no UEFI)
CPU: Intel QX6800 (Kentsfield)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GT 430

macOS to install: 10.12.3
UniBeast version: 7.0.1
Clover version: 3766 (came with UniBeast)
SMBIOS Mac version: 14, 2

Boot settings:
nv_disable = 1
-v

I have followed this guide until Step 4 where I stucked:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.200564/

Tried solutions:
Connected the USB into a USB2 port
In config.plist CsrActiveConfig has been set from 0x03 to 0x67
Installed OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi, OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi and OsxLowMemFixDrv-64.efi one by one (by default none of them was installed)
Deleted all 10.xx folder from EFI/kexts, kept "Other" only

These methods didn't change anything, I got exactly the same +++++++++++_ line

I have attached my actual config.plist file

Any suggestion would be great. Thanks in advance.

Is there any possible workaround to make it work?
