Hello Folks!

Brief personal intro (you can skip this): This is my first hackintosh. Been a Apple user for 5 years, and migrated to the PC platform for better GPUs as I am doing research in computer graphics, however my workflow was rather more productive with MacOS, so I decided to attempt a hack. Although I read through a wealth of information in this site, I was not yet able to boot into the installer.

Steps taken:
  1. Created the installation USB with the create install media method with 10.11.1 final release
  2. Installed Clover 3320 in the USB stick as per http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...de-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover.html
  3. Used CloverConfigurator to check the options described in the first post of http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...-15b38b-on-skylake-i7-6700-gigabyte-z170-hd3/
  4. Used CloverConfigurator to install HFSPlus.efi
  5. Used CloverConfigurator to install OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi, OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi, OsxLowMemFixDrv-64.efi (although I only used 1 at the time by moving the other 2 to the root directory of the USB)
  6. Added the KextsToPatch for AppleAPIC as described in http://www.tonymacx86.com/desktop-compatibility/176407-testing-thread-skylake-platform-os-x.html
  7. Changed the SMBIOS configuration to iMac17,1 as described in http://www.tonymacx86.com/desktop-c...thread-skylake-platform-os-x.html#post1136306

However I am not able to boot the installer with the following bootflags: -v dart=0 nv_disable=1 kext-dev-mode=1

I always get a Couldn't allocate runtime area type of error, as shown below


Using OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi results in:
aptio_new.jpg

Using OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi results in:
aptio-2_new.jpg

Using OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi with the added boot option slide=0 results in basically the same message, but further down the screen:
aptio-2-slide_new.jpg

My EFI directory is all in github: https://github.com/urban-discipline/p750dm-g/
Direct link to config.plist

Thanks for your help!

Use OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi not OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi.

The FakeSMC you're using is old.

Your config.plist is corrupt.
Code: 
Speedy-OSX:RehabMan RehabMan$ plutil -lint /Users/Admin/Downloads/p750dm-g-master/CLOVER/config.plist 
/Users/Admin/Downloads/p750dm-g-master/CLOVER/config.plist: Found non-key inside <dict> at line 93
Never edit config.plist with a text editor except as a last resort. And if you do, be careful.

You will want to read up on Skylake: http://www.tonymacx86.com/desktop-compatibility/176407-testing-thread-skylake-platform-os-x.html

No skylake specific config.plist yet, but look here too: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...de-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover.html

Thank you so much RehabMan!

Now I have
  • fixed the config.plist
  • updated to the latest FakeSMC.kext released by you - 2015-0504
  • changed to OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi

However I still get the same error:

Link to the repository with updated files: https://github.com/urban-discipline/p750dm-g/archive/master.zip

I also tried with the latest FakeSMC from as sugested from http://www.tonymacx86.com/desktop-c...thread-skylake-platform-os-x.html#post1136306 but also the same thing:

Attachment link is broken. No EFI/Clover folder provided.

Sorry about that, here is the fixed link: https://github.com/urban-discipline/p750dm-g/archive/master.zip

FakeSMC.kext is old, not the one linked by my guide.

Try config.plist (start with a Haswell plist) from my guide. Modify as necessary (eg. Pike's AppleAPIC patch).

Make sure OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi is from the latest Clover (no way for me to check that it matches). If still same problem, try OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi or without either.

You have KextsToPatch in the wrong section... must be under 'KernelAndKextPatches'.
 
[Solved - Booting into installer] Clevo P750DM-G Skylake i7-6700K / Intel Z170 - nvidia 980M 4K display

Thank you so much! Indeed it was the OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi which was downloaded with CloverConfigurator.

Making sure I was using the latest from Clover did the trick, as well as updating FakeSMC.

I realized that I need to be more organized with these matters.

Thanks once again!! Maybe every post of yours turn into a mile of Ski slopes :lol:
