Mostly Harmless.
You'll definitely need to install the nVidia Web Drivers (and may need to set nv_disable=1 to be able to boot into the OS to install it, - I end up having to most times after an OS minor version update to be able to upgrade the driver), but other than that it shouldn't require anything.

To upgrade to El Capitan.

Download and install this version of Clover https://mega.nz/#!CNRUnB4Y!mQMx2xrUNCjdxDgeSyDpRpvmh-k9yJ0KSdw66HsrXgk

In your Clover kexts folder, make sure you have a 10.11 folder. If not, create it. Put Fakesmc.kext in it.

Done. Downlaod El Capitan off the Mac App Store and install.

CD into your audio_CloverALC folder (or, if you deleted it, just redownload it and run it like normal) and run 'git pull'. Run the script again like normal to get your audio back. WebDriver: http://us.download.nvidia.com/tYGrxreBnE8b89jZ0VysebeSwZJehZTa/WebDriver-346.03.01b07.pkg

I have a Hackintosh that I got working a year ago (on Mavericks) using Unibeast and Multibeast, but I'm looking to flatten and reinstall using Clover...I might wait until El Capitan is general release though. The computer is a Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 ATX LGA1150 motherboard wiht a GeForce GTX 760.

The first question that I can't find online is how to properly dual-boot. I have (and plan to keep) OSX and Windows on completely separate physical drives. Right now the computer boots off of the OSX drive, and the Chameleon bootloader lets me choose which OS (on which drive) to boot to. Is there something I can configure in Clover post-install?

No need to configure. Just point BIOS at the clover disk and Clover will auto detect all bootable drives including Windows. Arrow keys to change selection, enter to select.

It was the latest source compile as of the day I posted it. The one I have in the OP is also a Mega link. If you want, you can compile it yourself via CloverGrowerPro.

Anything newer than R3259 will work.

The reason I don't link/recommend the pre-compiled version on Sourceforge is that it doesn't have Apple's HFS Plus EFI binary (not a big deal, the VirtualBox one it includes works fine) and that it has a different set of themes (bad, can result in the installer replacing your config.plist).

Went through all this, everything seems to be working like a champ.

Also, the Clover install is supremely annoying. I wish it wasn't just using the core OS X packager. It's too easy to gently caress up the "upgrade" and accidentally write a clean Clover install to the root of your boot volume rather than update what's on the EFI partition, and then confuse yourself as to what's going on. Ask me how!

My Chameleon setup was giving me a kernel panic on the reg, so I decided to redo my entire Mac partition with Clover. I was able to get everything working except for audio and the USB 3.0 ports, and I just can't seem to figure out how to fix either.

The audio is the main concern. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA1155 mobo which has both VIA VT2021 and High Definition Audio listed under its audio, but the usual HDA patching isn't doing anything for me. From what I've seen people have been able to mess with the DSDT to get it working, but I tried followed their steps and nothing happened. My previous build experience doesn't help me cause I used VoodooHDA there and I feel like it might've been the root of my problems so I'd like to avoid it. I can't find anything useful for fixing the USB 3.0 at all.

I might just settle for a USB sound card but I worry about the audio quality with those. And I'd need my 3.0 ports to work before I can even plug it in.

Unfortunately most of this stuff goes right over my head so I can't figure out the problems on my own. I've only gotten this far because of how useful these threads are.

That board does not have natively supported audio. You have to use Voodoo. USB3 is also weird on that board. Are you using El Cap or Yosemite? El Cap has issues with USB on unsupported boards, if you are having that problem this guide may help. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306777-guide-usb-fix-el-capitan-1011/

If using Yosemite, install this and USB will work again: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-generic-usb3/downloads

Though you should really get a different Gigabyte board if you want OS X to work well. :\

I'm using Yosemite, and at first that solution didn't work either. Keyboard, mouse, flash drives, nothing would show up when plugged in. Then I plugged my keyboard in through the USB extender and now everything works fine. :psyduck:

You're probably right about the board, but hopefully Clover will help this one out. So far I haven't had a kernel panic and that's encouraging.

That is a issue with some USB chipsets, most commonly USB 3.0 stuff. Early USB 3.0 stuff was not quite entirely baked yet I think. Any computer within the last year or so you won't even have the problem again.

So I've just run into a dilemma...

Running OSX Yosemite on an HP Probook through Clover

I was in class fighting with Parallels ceasing to work (Virtualization/VT-D was suddenly "disabled", which happened before and just took a reinstalled), after uninstalling, reinstalling it and still having no success, I decided to give VirtualBox a try, and I was getting the same type of error.

So I boot into BIOS and see that virtualization on the CPU is disabled there, although I remember having it on and having it work for months prior. I turn it back on, save and exit and now the laptop will only boot into Clover, then just reboot when I try to boot into OSX or the use the recovery option.

Tried to boot in verbose mode but barely see 5 lines of messages for a second before the whole thing reboots.

I still have the install USB ready if I have to reinstall and most anything important is stored in the cloud, but I really don't feel like starting over if I don't have to.

I appreciate any help that can be given.

Reset your bios settings, set them back up like you previously had them, try to boot. Sounds like one of the many many laptop-specific issues.

Yeah, it looks like the BIOS was extra sensitive to button-clicks and me click save carried over to turning off Data Execution Prevention (!). I got it booting up but was something messed up Apple Intel CPU Management, so I whipped out the trusty install USB and booted up through that to install the latest HP Clover installer package for my laptop model, and I'm good to go.

Are there any problems with the new System Integrity Protection when upgrading to 10.11?

I have a shitload of stuff in /usr/local (and I think maybe /usr), /System (eat poo poo launchd) an edited AppleGraphicsControl.kext, GlimmerBlocker and a few custom kexts I had to compile myself. From my understanding SIP will just shove all that poo poo into the PreviousVersion folder, but I need the edited AppleGraphicsControl kext to see anything on my display, so it's kinda important that it's there, and it can't be injected afaik. Is there a way to disable it before upgrading?

No SIP problems. Clover disables it by default. The problems with 10.11 are related to USB, lots of changes to USB. USB3 is broken for lots of people. An easy fix for that will be out in the next day or two.

Your kexts will be migrated out, though. Even without SIP, AppleGraphicsControl would get tossed aside as the installer has a newer version to offer. You should switch to MacPro3,1 temporarily so you can see things (ideally, switch permanently). You can reinstall your kexts after the upgrade.

Heads up to El Capitan upgraders: Sxvirtuallink (also known as the lovely software you install to use USB things hooked up to your Linksys router) will kernel panic your upgrade on boot and make you waste an entire evening figuring it out unless you remove the kext.

On the bright side this hackintosh is now running a fresh new El Cap/Clover install and finally sleeps properly.

Great to know, thanks. I'll still be cautious and clone my existing 10.10 install first, but I'll try and upgrade over the weekend (I've been ridiculously busy lately). I still prefer using the cloned MacPro5,1 SMBIOS I'm using since it's seen as being (I guess?) 100% legitimate, but if the AppleGraphicsControl thing becomes a gigantic pain in the rear end I'll probably switch.

You can keep using the same serial, just change the MacPro5,1 part/board id/etc. The serial/MLB value/ROM value are what makes the machine be seen as legitimate by iCloud/iMessage/FaceTime/etc, not the Board ID/Mac model.

Do you see this? This means "Have a nice day".
I've been piecing together a Mini-itx build for my next PC, I'm pretty sure it's going to revolve around a 6700k (skylake). Just need to pick up mobo, RAM, and CPU now, already have a recent nvidia card (960), ssd, power, etc.

I'm installing windows from the get-go, but I'd like to have well-supported hardware in the future so I can move to a hackintosh.

As I understand, there probably won't be decent support until Apple releases their own Skylake-based hardware, but a gigabyte board with Intel nic is probably a good prediction, right? I'm leaning toward this board, gigabyte says it will drop in the next couple weeks at US retailers.

Skylake does not work yet. That board (excluding its WiFi module) will work when Skylake is supported, though. You're right on track with 'Gigabyte/Realtek ALC/Intel NIC'. My only thing to add is that Atheros's Killer NIC works great in OS X too.
