Hey, I've created a Unibeast boot drive and it boots through the Apple loading screen just fine. I am then put into what I assume is the OS X installer, but it is just stuck with the loading icon (I can move the mouse), and didn't go anywhere when I left it for 30 minutes. Also, the installer seems to be trying to output to my first monitor, but the monitor itself stops detecting a signal and goes to sleep as soon as I leave the Apple booting screen. I just used the default Sierra / UEFI boot settings in Unibeast. Here is a picture if you don't get what I'm saying: http://i.imgur.com/undefined.jpg. I didn't install any additional kexts than the ones that were picked by Unibesat, and here are all the startup arguments I've tried: GraphicsEnabler=Yes rootless=0 nv_disable=1 npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1 -v -x

Here are my specs:
CPU : i7 4770k
Cooler : Cryorig H7
MOBO : MSI Z97 PC Mate
GPU : R9 380 4GB NItro
RAM : 2x4GB DDR3-1866MHz (OC to 2133MHz)
SSD : OCZ Tritonal 150 (my windows boot drive)
HDD : Some 10 year old Samsung HDD
PSU : EVGA 500W 800+ Bronze
Case : NZXT Phantom 240
WiFi + BT : TP-Link Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter (TL-WDN4800) no bluetooth
Lighting : no
Keyboard : Corsair K65 LUX RGB
Mouse : Corsair M65 RGB
Monitor : 2x Acer 1080p IPS (main =HDMI, secondary = DVI single link)
DAC : none
Speakers : turtle beach headset


Wat do? :C

Your link is invalid anyway.


GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No is for the Chimera boot loader and is not valid in Clover.


Boot in verbose mode and attach a picture of the screen when it stops.

Verbose mode does nothing, I have no problem with the Apple logo / loading bar screen. When that finishes, the console from verbose disappears and I get put into a white screen with the loading cursor swirling around, and nothing else happens.
 
You're trying a fresh install? In that case:
If you've created your bootable USB using Unibeast 7.1.0 and Sierra 10.12.4 you'll encounter this problem. You'll have to wait for a Unibeast update or find a 10.12.0 Installer or older and update after the install.

Thank you so much I visited the post. I installed the new version of Unibeast and I installed Sierra 10.12.4 on my USB. Now it's working proply. Thank you.
