Hi all,
I've come up against a few strange things with an old build that was running El Cap fine. When I get the Sierra installer started everything seems fine, but after about 2 minutes it get an error "macos could not be installed on your computer"?
[update] The generic SMBIOS in the legacy created config.plist wasn't enough, I had to generate all the fields using the wizard.
I also get some really nasty red code on every second boot, something about X64 Exception Type? Should I be concerned about that?

Hey Rorizm, I'm pretty certain that graphics card is unsupported at this stage. On the 27th Oct new macs are coming out, that's when you "may" see drivers for it to work properly.

Hello,
I applied installation protocol described in first message (UniBeast 6.x + MultiBeast 9.0.1) to install Sierra on a new hackintosh based on GA-Z170N-Wifi motherboard with a Phanteks case.
I used a Lexar 16GB USB3 key for install and everything was OK (System Definition => iMac 14,2)
I didn't modify clover files, including config.plist.
But now, I have big problems with USB 3 ports and devices.
The motherboard includes 4 + 1 (Type-C) external USB3 ports, one USB 3.0/2.0 header and one USB 2.0/1.1 header.
Internal motherboard connector F_USB (2.0/1.1) not used.
The PC case includes 2 USB 3.0 ports connected to F_USB30 connector on motherboard.
When I connect an USB 2.0 key, it's correctly detected on all ports but when I connect an USB 3.0 key (tested with Lexar installation key and a Sandisk Extreme 32GB key), it's not detected (all external ports tested excepted Type-C port).
So I ran IOJones to analyze USB mapping and I got the following mapping (tested with a Lexar 16GB USB 2 key):
PC case: HS01, HS02
Motherboard external ports: HS03, HS04, HS05, HS06 (Type-C port not tested)
IOJones also detected HS08 used by Bluetooth, HS07, HS09 and HS10 but no SS*
Then I copied the last release of USBInjectAll.kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other and ran again IOJones after shutdown/startup.
It detected all previous ports but also HS11, HS12, HS13, HS14 and USR1 but still no SS*; USB 3 keys still not detected.
I also noticed IOJones was very unstable (lot of crashes).
Any suggestion will be appreciated
[Update] System Information->USB displays USB 3.0.
[Update 2] I used DPCIManager to install USBInjectAll.kext, repair perms and rebuild cache. Then I used Clover Configurator to change 15 port limit to 26 in XHCI kext (I thought this update was included in UniBeast/MultiBeast), shutdowned/restarted the computer and it's OK. USB mapping looks correct and Lexar USB3 key is OK (Sandisk key definitively (?) not detected).

What kind of boot USB you made, do you made a legacy one ?
