System : GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 – Bios: F10 Sandy Bridge Core I7 (2660?) 16gigs PC 1600 DDR3 NVidia 770
This upgrade was a pain but after the third try I was able to get it done. I’m thinking before the next major release of Mac OS I will have my mobo upgraded. It is getting harder and harder with my set up
Here is what I have learned
When creating a Unibeast disk you must format the USB Stick with a MBR… very important
Then create the El Capitan Disk with Unibeast using Legacy mode
When booting from the usb to Unibeast you need to place an Argument of CPUS=1 as the SSDT is not installed and the boot up process will error out. I was finally able to get to this installer to come up so I could install to El Capitan to my SSD..
Post Install Multibeast 8.0.1
Was able to boot to El- Capitan disk using the above argument with the USB unibeast stick and used Multibeast 8.0.1 to instal My (DSDT-GA-Z68XP-UD3-F10.aml), Audio realtek889, 3rd party SATA, All three of the Fake SMC Plugins for my HWMonitor, I skipped the network kext, I have a Marvell Gigabit Adaptor card with a Yukon controller, Used the Clover v2.3 r332- Legacy Boot mode, selected my SSDT for Sandy Bridge 2660 Core I7,
Post install was another doosie As I got stuck on the [ PCI Configuration begin]
At first I tried to TS the issues by pasting a rolled back version of AppleACPIPlatform.kext to the older version like I have done in the past … it was no Buenos and did not work.
The TS forum told me to Disabled my USB 3 ports for now and use iMac13,1 for my system definition… everything worked like a charm after words.. not real sad I cant use my USB 3 right now but I don’t care as I don’t use it much anyway.
My only gripe is Clover takes forever to show the selection screen on bootup… almost 30 seconds from post, but I will TS that later. I am happy it works for now
Had to Play some Explosions in the Sky – Lone Survivor Album in celebratory victory fashion while I finished rebuilding my machine
