[Success] El Capitan - Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev1.3 UEFI .U1L

Status
Not open for further replies.
For boot arguments, see the big list of solutions.

If you want to get off cpus=1, try installing NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, or generating and installing an SSDT for your CPU with ssdtPRGen.sh. As you note, you're limited to one core and lousy performance with cpus=1. It's just a workaround until you can get into the system and go one of those other routes.


Thanks, it now seems to work on 8 threads with NullCPUPowerManagement.kext installed.

Does that mean that I have a Higher power consumption because C and P state are not available ?

what about the ssdtPRGen.sh ?
I've run it, it produced a lot of files but I don't know what to do with them

::edit::
OK, I've found here http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html
in step 4 that I must put my newly generated SSDT.aml and DSDT.aml in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/
I still have to find a log or a tool to tell me that C and P state are enabled...
 
Similar hardware, see my profile. But finally got El Capitan running. Here are my steps:

1. Remove Chimera on existing Yosemite installation. Guide is in the basics section.
2. Make USB-Stick with UEFI clover and El Capitan-Installation using the El Capitan guide in this forum.
3. Flash BIOS to U1L UEFI.
4. Kernel panic on boot with USB-Stick. Solution was "cpus=1".
5. Install El Capitan over Yosemite. Reboot and start from USB-Stick. Don't forget "cpus=1" again.
6. Do Post Installation. See guide. Reboot.
7. Next kernel panic was a problem with CalDigitUSBxHCI.kext.
8. Boot again and in clover parameters:
Boot options: dark=0 cpus=1
Ignore kext: CalDigitUSBxHCI.kext
9. Deinstall CalDigit-kext via a deinstallation tool. There ist a thread in the forum. Search for CalDigit.
10. For fixing cpus=1: Install NullCPUPowerManagement.kext via KextBeast into S/L/E

Now it's running.
Don't know if you need to flash to UEFI. After Flashing your Yosemite/ML backup may not boot anymore. So if you want to be save your backup is booting, first try legacy BIOS.

Thanks! Will try these bootflags tonight on my system.

Cause I have installed El Capitan using clover by following the guide, and have some bootproblems.
Booting from USB is fine as long as i use cpus=1 bootflag.
But after installing clover to harddrive and following the instructions after that all seems te be fine. System is booting fine, restarting is ok. BUT when i turn my system off it will not boot anymore.
No kernel panic, nothing, it just stops loading (last thing that is loading is bluetooth). It doesnt freeze cause when i turn off my trackpad (Apple magic trackpad) i can see that turns of in verbose text. Turn it on again and it loads again.
It's just not booting further into osx... Very strange i think.

Only way to boot again is using the USB stick (Unibeast clover) and installing clover again and do the configuration again.
But again, only working until i turn the system off.

Seems like it has something to do with your video card.
 
Is sleep/wake working properly? What's annoying me on my Yosemite install is that I frequently loose network after wake, outbound data and no inbound. Resetting my cable (detach/attach) and reboot fixes it though, but I cannot seem to fix it without a manual detach/attach so no script or anything to fix it.

And what about USB3.0? Never got the onboard adapter to work in Yosemite either (GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3).
 
Update to original post.

As others have noted, the step after getting the steps in Tony's guide finished seems to be enable 4 core processor. I went the generate SSDT route, though having no prior knowledge of doing this, definitely had to use lots of other guides and posts to get it past the finish line and into EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched. But I checked on the Intel CPU tool (Intel power gadget) and saw power levels stepping up and down, which made me think I had put together the right SSDT. Just know this is not plug and play, as I had put my customac as 'mac pro 3,1' but that didn't work in the context of making a SSDT for a core i7 2600k, so had to change SMBIOS to 'iMac 14,1'. Stuff like that is what makes this process tricky for a plebeian like me.

After looking at many USB3 guides, I'm daunted but still will pursue doing the fix when I get the time. Definitely backing up my plist.config and doing a CCC backup, even though some of the guides say you can't blow up your machine that badly doing the fix.

Frustrating and oddly enough, after completing a file restore from my CCC 10.7 Lion backup on an external drive yesterday, I now have lost my audio ALC889 after it was working great. Tried to re-run the CloverALC.command file, but to no avail. Oh well, looks like I'm in for my first restore from my first baseline 10.11 backup.

I haven't seen anything related to sleep, wake, etc. yet but I did go into power settings and change it to 'Never sleep' just cause it seemed like the cause of a lot of headaches / problems. Now just gotta do shut downs vs. sleep the customac it seems?

in step 4 that I must put my newly generated SSDT.aml and DSDT.aml in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/

FYI, ssdtPRGen.sh only actually generates the SSDT.aml -- all the rest I think are just copies of what your system was already using.

So you should only copy SSDT.aml from the ssdtPRGen directory to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/

If you want a customized DSDT, you need to use MaciASL and identify the appropriate patches or changes, which is a more involved process.
 
@ zarni: Thank you very much for your little tutorial. i will try it out with legacy method --- i don´t want to ****up my ML install on Bios...

I decided to tinker with the legacy option with Clover and was able to get my f12 legacy BIOS to install and run Yosemite as well as to upgrade to El Capitan. My own experience with the various iterations of Unibeast, Multibeast, and Chimera have shown that sometimes the new and improved Chimera wouldn't boot a given OS like the old one would so I had to downgrade in order to be able to boot. Long story short, after reading a number of legacy to clover posts, it seems a common theme rested around not being able to boot a given OS with Tony's various tools. This then led to the upgrade to the beta UEFI BIOS, clover, and positive results, leading those who followed this trajectory to declare that the solution was UEFI. Given my vintage ML install, my primary Mavericks install (I also had issues getting Yosemite to boot with Multibeast/Chimera), and the Yosemite tinkering I wanted to do on my new SSD, I wanted to see if Clover would be the solution for booting Yosemite with my legacy BIOS and I have had a good experience with the process as a whole. Simply put, for me at least, I was able to get Yosemite and El Cap installed and booting via BIOS and Clover in a relatively pain-free fashion. Even more simply, for the time being at least, it seems Clover might be the magic ingredient more so than UEFI vs. BIOS. I still have yet to see any posts that articulate features or functions that only work with Clover/UEFI vs. Clover/BIOS. Clover seems to be a pretty badass solution regardless of which way you go. :)
 
Just a thought here, it's possible that installing the DSDT and SSDT to the USB drive would likely resolve the need for the cpus=1 flag. Assuming everyone has those on board somewhere with their Multibeast installs, that might be an easy fix for the flag issue.
 
Do you think? But isn't it strange then that it always boots properly using the usb stick?

Yes I do think so. I am running a GF670 with Yosi and I had similar problems. Something to do with GraphicsEnabler, think it should be 'no' but as I am not home I cannot yet confirm. I'll try to confirm in a few hours.

[edit]
Nope, just drakewake, dart=0, kext-dev-mode=1, XMPDetection=No and a few things to make sound happy.
