Hi everyone.
Firstly just want to say thanks to everyone who has posted something in these forums, it has really helped me get my hackintosh up and running well. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster
I originally built my build in 2013 running Mountain Lion with Chimera bootloader. Yesterday I updated my build from Yosemite/Chimera to El Capitan/Clover. The install went smoothly for the most part, didn't run into any kernel panics or anything and was able to boot relatively pain-free. I also followed the steps to remove Chimera from my drive.
Right now the only main issues that I have are:
- Can't boot using system drive. Any time I try to boot my computer without the USB drive, the system just hops into the BIOS. I can only boot using the USB drive. I've tried following the fixes in the "Big List of Solutions" but it hasn't done much. The instruction I don't seem to understand is "Confirm that you've installed Clover to the system drive and selected Install for UEFI Booting Only and Install Clover in the ESP". I don't know if I ever ran into any option stating "Install for UEFI Booting Only" in any of the steps.
- My hackintosh doesn't seem to read the SMBIOS settings that I changed in config.plist. I set it to MacPro3,1 using the same serial number as my previous versions, but when I check About This Mac, it classifies my build as iMac (27-inch, Late 2012). I changed all of the config.plists in the EFI partition.
If anyone knows what I might be missing, that would be great.
Also, is there anything that I need to do with my SSDT and DSDT from my previous installations? Since my build doesn't quite follow the customacs, I've never been 100% sure what to do with these files. If anyone could enlighten me, that would be much appreciated.
Sorry for the long post! If you know anything I would forever be in your debt.
