Hi

This is my second hackintosh build. After reading that some x299 users have got it working I thought I'd give it a go.
I have done some troubleshooting and trial and error but I am stuck at this point.

My build:
Motherboard: MSI X299 Tomahawk
CPU: Intel Core i9-7920X (12 Core)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz DDR4 4x8GB (only 1x8GB installed at the moment)
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 1080 Ti Armor 11Gb

I am getting the "Couldn't allocate runtime area" error when trying to install Sierra and this is what I have tried so far.

1. Replacing OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi

2. Replacing the 1080 Ti with a 660 Ti

3. Tried using npci=0x2000 and cpus=1 and safe mode

4. Tried disconnecting my internal ssd

Using OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi gets me past the runtime area error but freezes pretty much instantly at ++++++++++

Today I tried deleting all the kexts in the EFI folder and I got the allocate runtime area error again.

So to sum it up:
-I need to have all the default kexts created with unibeast in place
-and use the OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi

only then do I get past the allocate runtime area error but I still get stuck at +++++++++++++++ instead.

I am out of ideas :(
 
So after a couple of months I decided to give it a shot again. After hours of reading various guides I can never get past either the runtime error or the plus sign error :(

It's so frustrating!
