Hi.

I'm sorry for my bad English.

This is my pc configuration.

I have no problemio with OS X El Capitan 10.11 bootable USB for Intel PCs http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=5545

With 7 zip unzipping "Install macOS Sierra.raw".I put "Install macOS Sierra" with "SUSE Studio ImageWriter".When you start the finished USB flash drive,16gb. with Clover bootloader get this boot error.

How do I fix this error?

Thank you very much!!!

Hi ikar777, I do'nt know what language you speak natively, I speak Spanish. I'm still downloading the installer, but from my experience must follow the guide written on this page. If you're on Windows, you must create the installer with win32image writer. If you're on OS X you should follow the next guide:

http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3736

The image is as "Install macOS Sierra.raw.bz2" you must erase the ".bz2" and create your installer with win32imagewriter from windows.

When making my installation, I'll post the results.

[pernacabeluda]

Looks like Sierra supports only CPUs with SSE4 instruction set. I can't install it on my Q6600 Core 2 Quad which runs El Capitan.

[charlesmottion]

So, to use Win32DiskImager, all I need to do it is selecting the image, and click and Write, also, the only way to this works in mac it is for command line, or can I restore with Disk Utility? Cause I tried and the PENDRIVE appears, but it not appear in UEFI mod, so I boot the pendrive and doesn't work :/

I'm trying now with transmac, restoring the image to pendrive, the last one I did with this.

Also if this doesn't work, can you explain a little more how to get this working using Windows?

Sorry if i'm a noob guys, I've been hacktoshing for months and I love MacOS.

Thanks!

[pernacabeluda]

You have to decompress the bzip2 then write to USB stick using Win32 Disk Imager or SUSE Studio ImageWriter.

Someone suggested this app but I didn't try it

If you restore with Disk Utility the EFI partition won't be written so it won't boot on PCs, just on real Macs.

[charlesmottion]

So I did this, using TransMac and it worked!

I installed the OS, but now i'm booting the Macintosh partition to do the post-installation stuff, but i'm getting black screen, and display saying, No HDMI signal, there is a way to do this work?

I boot from usb installed .raw. but my laptop pause still waiting root devices

[artur-pt]

hello

ur lappy the problem is always graphics..

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286092-guide-1st-generation-intel-hd-graphics-qeci/

good hack

[ler0ck]

Strange, with 560Ti I got a black screen after boot verbose whereas it perfectly works with 10.11 bootable USB.

And it is the same config.plist. I don't see any difference between the 2 images who can lead this issue, it the same SMBIOS and Board-ID.

[pernacabeluda]

Try checking nv_disable=1 boot option (press space bar).

[ler0ck]

Yes it works, but I can only boot with this flag, I can't activate the graphic card.

I feel this version of Clover changed the inject process

[pernacabeluda]

Maybe Sierra graphics kexts have changed, check if your Board-ID is listed in /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist under ConfigMap with "none" config.

[ler0ck]

I have a single Clover folder with :

Board-ID

Mac-27ADBB7B4CEE8E61

I check AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext on Capitan and Sierra. There is both the same line under ConfigMap :

Mac-27ADBB7B4CEE8E61

none

El Capitan succeeds to boot without nv_disable=1 but I get a blank screen on Sierra (except I use nv_disable=1)

Maybe a fix will appear in my sleep, as sometimes

I followed all the whole tutorial but the USB INSTALLER is unknow when i want to boot from it ?

it's look like i boot from the HDD directly

Can you help me please

I have PC HP XW4600 WORKSTATION Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 Ghz 8GB RAM

and i think my PC support SSE4

[pernacabeluda]

Did you decompress the bzip2 before writing to USB?

Some motherboards can't boot from GPT USB drives.

Yes i decompress the fil then i write it on the USB

If my motherboards can't boot from GPT USB , what i have to do ?

[pernacabeluda]

If it's the case, you won't be able to use this image, you'll have to build the installer yourself, using a MBR formatted drive.

The process is the same as for Yosemite

http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=4632

Can you test the installer on another computer to certify it's the case?

[hershebmx]

Can anybody help me. Boot from my USB flash drive, run the vervose mode, but then stays freeze white screen with my cursor in the upper left corner and does not recognize keyboard and mouse.

Specifications:

Motherboard: Gygabyte GA-H61M-S1 (rev. 2.0)

[pernacabeluda]

What video card?

Try to press space bar and check nv_disable=1

[hershebmx]

My video card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 620

I already probe nv_disable = 1 and nothing has happened.

[pernacabeluda]

Which SMBIOS is Clover defining? Did you try a different one?
