Hi all,
After some trouble trying to install El Capitan on my PC, i've figured out how to get it fullyworking.
PC Components:
- Motherboard: MSI z97 Gaming 5
- CPU: Intel i7-4790K 4.0GHz
- GPU: AMD R9 390 8GB
- RAM: Patriot Viper 8GB (2x4GB)
How to install:
This installation was pretty easy, i just followed the official Tonymacx86's guide on
How to install OSX El Capitan using Unibeast, and now i tell you exactly what i've done:
- I partitioned the USB as the guide says (IMPORTANT - It MUST be 16GB or larger, 8GB don't work)
- Next, i used Unibeast to make it bootable (using in the app as bootloader configuration UEFI Boot Mode, and NOTHING in Graphic options), then continue and install. *NOTE: It will take some time (for me more than 40 minutes) it seems stuck doing nothing, but don't touch anything, let it do his work.
- When the install finished, unplug the usb.
- Now restart the PC in BIOS menu (done by pressing del key when the msi dragon appears on boot) and go to OC Settings - CPU Features - Disable Intel VT-d and OC Settings - CPU Features - Disable CFG lock
- Now plug in the OSX USB and Boot from it. At the Clover bootloader choose Boot Mac OS X from USB and install it.
- When finished, it will reboot. At the Clover Bootloader now choose Boot Mac OSX from Mac OSX (for me its "Mac OSX" because i called my HDD "Mac OSX" in the previous steps)
- Do all the stuff to setup the OS and when you finally finish the settings you can use OSX.
Post Installation:
First, Download
Multibeast for El Capitan and start it. You have to select this options:
- Quick Start > UEFI Boot Mode
- Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > ALC1150
- Drivers > Network > Atheros > AtherosE2200Ethernet v2.0.1
Then go to Build, and press "Install"
Once you have done, download
EFI Mounter v3 and start it, it will show the EFI partition in the desktop.
Now download
Clover Configurator and start it, then with it, open the config.plist located in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist.
Go to the Devices section and, in the ATI FakeID box (the first in the top-left corner) insert "0x67B01002" without quotes, then go to the Graphics section and check "Inject ATI", then in the same section, in the FB Name box, write "Radeon" without quotes.
Now in the menu bar, go to file > save, then close Clover Configurator.
Now just restart your PC and pretty everything will be alright. To make the audio work, go in the system settings, under sound, and select as output device Internal Speakers (i don't know if this is the correct name, i have OSX in Italian, so i think it may be similar to this).
Now you have a fully working Hackintosh, with audio, internet connection, and a working
AMD R9 390 graphic card!
