It seems that my system is doomed lately... or most likely I do some mistakes that I can't figure it.
Hardware:
Gigabyte Z68MA-DH2-B3, i7, 16GB Ram, Zotac GTX650Ti 2Gb
I have an SSD 256G that is the only new piece of hardware but it could not be this one, isn't it?
This is supposed to be an easy install. I have used this hardware since 2012 with previous OsX-es.
There are two problems:
1.
1A - To start fresh I flash the BIOS with U1c, load the optimized defaults, Set to AHCI, Disable VT-D, internal graphics disable, USB3 disabled, Comms disabled, XHCI Handoff is Enabled, same as previous El Capitan, etc.
1B - Using UniBeast, I have made one USB with 10.12 few months back (8Gb), then recently I have made another two USB with 10.12.2. (16Gb each)
1C - Bootup with USB-UEfi, at MacOS install screen start DiskUtility, erase the SDD with MacOS Extended (Journaled), GUID Partition Map
1D - Start installing Sierra and here the problems occurs... sometimes. From about 5 tries about 3 times the installation reboots itself after 50% install, sometimes when is left 1 or 2 min of installation. Could not figure it why. This is my 1st problem. Why these inconsistencies, any ideas why?
However, I could install it 100% twice.
Problem 2 and this is the most important issue since I can't go further.
2A - The system reboots, reboot from the USB-UEFI flash, at cover screen select to boot from the new install on SSD,
2B - The system boots into Sierra SSD, create the new user, etc, I have finalized Sierra install in a low res screen.
2C - Reboot, launch Multibeast, select "Quick Start" select UEFI Boot mode, Mac14.2, select the network driver, sound ALC889, install success with the clover from the SSD.
2D - Reboot, the new Sierra starts fine, I have good res (1920x1200) by Nvidia default, I have network, I have sound, all good. I could reboot few times, everything looks perfect. Done the AppStore update, it finds only iTunes, it updates with no problems.
2E - Here the problem occurs: I install Little Snitch prior of other apps install, installation successful, does not reboot anymore!
So basically Little Snitch affects the booting process!
At boot clover screen, always in "Verbose" I have tried all kinds of options in different combinations such as: "Without Cashes", "Safe Mode", but all with the same result: "Error loading kernel cache (0x7)". I can't pass this error. Please see the pic attached.
Why could I do please, what options I have but still to use Little Snitch? Why Little Snitch would screw-up the boot process?
