Reboot the Hackintosh, remove the USB and you should be able to boot the target drive using the Clover bootloader (now installed on the target drive itself).Download the relevant DSDT file for your X58A-UD3R (dependant on installed BIOS) from the DSDT database here and rename/copy to the EFI partition at /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml.On the EFI partition create a folder at /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12 and copy FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManagement and RealtekRTL8111 from the USB into it.Replace on the EFI partition /EFI/CLOVER/ist with the config from the USB.Mount the EFI partition on the target drive using Clover Configurator.

Insert USB stick into the existing Mac and use Disk Utility to name the drive ‘USB’ as well as formatting the volume type: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).On a Windows installation, insert an 8GB (minimum) USB drive and quick format it to FAT32.Download the latest version of Sierra through the Mac App Store on the existing Mac.But I remain persistent to get those working with this release and install.īelow is a summarised step of instructions I performed to get a persistent working install, please note you will need access to an existing installation of OS X to perform the Hackintosh installation. Once again the only thing not working properly is sleep/wake/hibernate. Nearly everything works as it should bluetooth, GPU HW acceleration, sound, ethernet. Over the weekend I managed to get a fresh Sierra install working on a spare HDD, allowing me to test its stability whilst still running my daily workhorse Yosemite install. I decided to just skip the 10.11 El Capitan release and perform a fresh install.

This means the time has come to update my 10.10 Yosemite install to 10.12 Sierra. With the recent release of macOS Sierra 10.12 (previously OS X) my current OS 10.10 Yosemite install has been pushed to n-2 support status (Apple supports 2 versions prior the current release), meaning Apple will drop support for security updates upon the next release of macOS, presumedly due 2017.
