Stuck booting Unibeast Key

[mathgeek]

Hi there:

I'm having a problem booting my Sierra Unibeast Key. System has been stable under El Capitan but panics on install. I've stripped it down to a base system and still receive the following errors on boot. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

A

Try boot arg nv_disable=1

Also try npci=0x3000

Thanks for those tips, tried both but still have kernel panic. I'm building the usb key on a macbookpro in case that is of any importance.

When you initially create a Unibeast USB stick (formatting) you will want to run First Aid on both the USB stick (manufacturer's name) and the USB stick (named). If either fails - the USB stick is faulty and should be replaced. Now start the Unibeast app. that will install Unibeast onto the freshly GUID formatted stick. When it finishes re-run Disk Utility First Aid on both the manufacturer name and the named stick under it.

On my mobo I had to create the Unibeast stick as UEFI because creating it as Legacy did not work.

Thanks, tried that as well and same error. I've tried reflashing the bios and also multiple USB sticks.

Had two issues myself:
- Didn't work with other disks present, turned off all other disks in BIOS except my MacOS SSD so PC only saw 1 disk.
- Needed new USB key but also had to partition the USB to be 8GB in size (it didn't work with 128GB or 16GB partition)
- Inject NVIDIA did not work for me, left if out and recreated the key.

Its certainly more sensitive then it was in the past.
Now to try the Sierra patch for my old Macbook Pro 2009 which dropped off the supported Sierra list.
