Hi All,
I bought my Acer v3 372 laptop recently. I found the specs of this machine to be very much similar to the late 2016 MacBook Pro with touchbar and thus I always have tried to install Mac OS on this system.
I began by trying a vanilla install of El capitan. I followed the Rehabman guide for preparing the usb. But as soon as I reach the clover bootloader and select my usb, I get a black screen with no response. I did search the web and tried using the 'OsxAptioFix2Drv' driver. It did not help. BTW I have UEFI support and all attempts are made in this mode. I then tried Unibeast to create the Installer. The installer successfully booted but my keyboard and mouse was not working. I then used KextBeast to install voodooPS2controller kext by Rehabman on it (I know I could copy kext into efi partition but the efi folder was empty!). That fixed my keyboard and mouse. I moved onto preparing my drive and more bad news ... My SSD (only storage) was missing and all the disk utility showed was the installer usb. I am stuck in this situation and have no idea about moving on. Please help. And ! I observed the verbose mod output while using unibeast : It gave the following warning before booting into the installer : IOAHCIBlockStorageDriver : Could not recover SATA HDD after 5 attempts, terminating . Please help me install the OS. And I promise all the people out there with this laptop that I will publish a full guide if I can successfully hackintosh. I am including the specs below :
Intel Core i5 6267u 2.9Ghz Skylake
4 GB DDR3 Ram
Iris 550 GPU
256 GB SSD
Full HD Screen
For more info, please see the HWinfo screenshot attached.
Thanks in Advance.
