It's been a while since I've messed with my install and I'm trying to update from El Capitan to Sierra. I'm on 10.11.6 and whenever I try to download the sierra update through the app store, I get an error "This version of macOS 10.12.2 cannot be installed on this computer." and if I try the combo update to 10.12.2 I get an error saying "This software is not supported on your system."

I have updated clover, and in the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder I have "FakeSMC.kext" in there (I could not find one in my Library/Extensions though...) My model is saying it's a Mac Pro 3,1 so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone have any ideas on where to go from here?
 
I ran into this problem with my Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI motherboard which has two ethernet jacks.
Solved it by disabling one of them and reinstalling the driver. YMMV
