Hi,

I'm trying to install Sierra on this OptiPlex 390 I just got (Core i5-2500k, 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD), and I can't get it to boot using any Clover config other than that created by UniBeast. Even the slightest modification causes it to hang at startup, which obviously isn't right.

HD3000 graphics are also unaccelerated, despite being fully supported (as far as I know?), but that's an issue for another time (it has to boot first!)

However, my issue is that I don't know what's wrong.

I've Hackintoshed before, so I'm no stranger to things like this, but this has me stumped. It's probably something simple, but whatever.

Thanks!

UPDATE: It looks like it's actually related to the HD3000 graphics! When I try to inject fake IDs, it causes the kind of hanging I'm seeing. I don't think that's the whole cause, but it's interesting.

I've been trying to do the same setup but with 4 GB of RAM. I think the issue is that The optiplex has no AHCI support :/ Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
