Hi,

I've been trying for the last few days to install Sierra 10.12.16 using a boot disk created by Unibeast, and seem to be stuck.

When I boot and hit F12, I get two options for the USB Stick, one called Mac OS X and the other UEFI.

If I boot to Mac OS X with the clean Unibeast 7.1.1 install, I get "Error allocating 0x4c05 pages at ...."
I tried installing OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi as suggested here. After that the following appears and just hangs:

View media item 189440
If I boot to UEFI with the clean Unibeast install, I get just a string of "+++++++++++" and that hangs. After installing OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi and booting to UEFI, I get the same error as above.

I've tried the following things:
Updating Clover post Unibeast install
Installing OsxAptioFix2Drv and OsxAptioFixDrv (not both at once)
Re-did Unibeast on three different drives
Different USB ports
Booting without kext injections
Resetting Clover options
-x and -s tags

I am able to boot to my regular disk through Clover on the USB.

My system is an Ivy Bridge 2012 Custom Mac Pro:
Gigabyte Intel B75 Dual UEFI mATX Motherboard GA-B75M-D3P
Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz
32 GB RAM
Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD Drive
No additional graphics card

Thanks for any suggestions, happy to provide any additional needed info.

@levleviev, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.

Done! Thanks for the heads up.

Bumping, I'm still stuck with the hanging boot. If anyone has any advice it'd be greatly appreciated!

I am getting hung up also. I am trying to setup my second hackintosh.

This setup is for
HP 8300 Elite i7 SFF
Built in HD4000 graphics
250gb SSD
4GB included with this pc

I have double checked the BIOS settings and have updated to v2.99 then to 3.04

I have loaded with -v to see where the installation hangs and I have posted it below.
I did double check and serial is disabled

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Your screenshot says otherwise :

Hmmm...I wonder what could possible cause that?
It is not letting me continue. I am stuck at that screen..I have double checked and it is disabled under serial. And there no connectors or anything (no extra peripherals onto the mobo.

Any other clues? I have even reset the BIOS to default and then select the suggested config but still no go

You were going to start a new thread of your own, not hijack another user's.
The Serial port could be a modem or a TPM.
If the actual Serial port is disabled then it is probably of no consequence.
 
Hey all, just an update on my original post. I did yet another fresh Unibeast install on a different USB drive, and this one worked. Guess I just had a string of duds.
