I am using the ASUS Z170M-PLUS and I am unable to get past the following error when attempting to boot from my UEFI Clover USB stick to install 10.11:

OsxAptioFixDrv: Starting overrides for .IAbootFile\boot.efi

Using reloc block: yes, hibernate wake: no
I am also using boot flag: 

-v nv_disable=1

I switched out 'VBoxHfs-64.efi' with 'HFSPlus.efi'
I used both the 'IOAPIC Fix' and 'USBInjectAll.kext' fixes including the edits to the config.plist as described in the 'Skylake Starter Guide'.
My BIOS settings shouldn't be an issue since I am able to boot into my Clover USB stick.

 

If needed here are my BIOS Settings:

01. Applied 'Load Optimized Defaults'
02. 'Fast Boot' - Disabled
03. 'Launch CSM' - Disabled
04. 'Secure Boot State' - Disabled
05. 'OS Type' - Other OS
06. VT-d - Disabled 
07. 'Primary Display' - PCIE 
08. 'iGPU Multi-Monitor' - Disabled 
09. 'ErP Ready' - Disabled.. remainder available options disabled by default 
10. 'Intel Virtualization Technology' - Disabled
11. 'CFG lock' - Disabled
12. ’Serial Port Configuration' turned off 
13. ’Parallel Port Configuration' turned off 
14. ’XHCI Hand-off' - Enabled
15. UEFI USB stick is set first in 'Hard Drive BBS Priorities'
16. DRAM Frequency - 'DDR4-2400MHz'[Optional]

 

Any who has come across this issue who has any advice to help solve it would be greatly appreciated?

Below are specs to my machine:

Intel G4500 | ASUS Z170M-PLUS | Carbide 88R| PNY GTX 960 4GB | CORSAIR CX750M 750W | LEPA AquaChanger 240 | LG 14x Blu-Ray | Mushkin Enhanced ECO2 512GB | HGST Travelstar 7K1000 1TB 7200 RPM | Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 2400MHz

I included a copy of my config.plist as attachment

 

Thanks in advance

config.plist.zip

Use OsxAptiofix2drv

 

Here is Stehor's config, try this.

You can also get on the chat here to get help for Skylake, or any other system. 

So I exchanged my original config list w/ yours and used OsxAptiofix2drv instead on my USB boot disk but all I got was a black screen, Clover boot menu wouldn't even load.

Change aptiofix then. 

Same outcome

change smbios that exist on your OS build. Dont mix smbios info

Ok I will try that... the original entry for SMBIOS in the config.plist is as follows:

        <key>SMBIOS</key>
	<dict>
		<key>ChassisAssetTag</key>
		<string></string>
		<key>Trust</key>
		<false/>

Awesome, you should definitely make a guide for it. 

Will do... FakeCPUID was the main reason I got it to work aside from the other required Skylake fixes... Oh and on another note, I hate Apple for gimping Disk Utility in 10.11

I am currently having issues booting up 10.11.5 on this rig. The background story regarding my situation is that when I boot, once OS X finishes w/ the loading bar it automatically restarts. After 3-4 attempts of OS X rebooting, I get the following error message: "Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up"

So when I booted in verbose mode to make a diagnosis, I learned that the reboot was caused due to a kernel panic, but it loads so fast for me to view what it says. 

 

When I successfully boot into OS X I get the following a popup box says something on the lines of: "Your computer was restarted because of a problem," then I can click 'Report' or 'Ignore'.

 

So I took a look at the log file produced in Library/Logs/CloverEFI/boot.log as well as 'Console' under Utilities and found some messages indicating my problem:

5/24/16 9:20:47.000 PM	kernel[0]	ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
5/24/16 9:20:47.000 PM	kernel[0]	WARNING: IOPlatformPluginUtil : getCPUIDInfo: this is an unknown CPU model 0x3a
5/24/16 9:20:47.000 PM	kernel[0]	-- power management may be incomplete or unsupported
5/24/16 9:20:47.000 PM	kernel[0]	AppleIntelPCHPMC::publishedIOPPF - return false

I'm assuming that Power management is failing so I will try to implement the following boot flag -xcpm and see if that helps.

 

Other than that, I'm posting this link here as a placeholder to refer to as it was a prior discussion I made in the Clover forum pertaining ideas other members mentioned as to how I could boot into OS X using my current CPU. If it doesn't fix my issue then I will probably make a whole new thread to address it.

So after trying the -xcpm boot flag in verbose mode, OS X would get stuck loading at line: "VM Swap Subsystem is ON"... I'll have to do a little more digging to tackle the cause of this issue.

So I tried using a different FakeCPUID as shown below:

	<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
	<dict>
		<key>FakeCPUID</key>
		<string>0x0106E0</string>
	</dict>

and was able to boot via verbose mode, however when I try loading OS X w/o any boot flags my system will automatically reboot, smh... Guess that helped a little but didn't entirely solve my problem. S/N: this is the thread here that provided the alternative FakeCPUID.

 

---EDIT---

05/28/16:

So after changing to the above FakeCPUID, I checked the log file to pinpoint the line where my system KP's which causes it to auto-reboot and realized now the above 4 lines from console in my last comment have been reduced to 2 lines which are the following:

5/28/16 9:03:24.000 PM kernel[0]: ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
5/28/16 9:03:24.000 PM kernel[0]: AppleIntelPCHPMC::publishedIOPPF - return false

That is very fortunate for me so now it helps me zero in on the potential cause for why my system continues to auto-reboot.

So I think I may have figured out the cause to my problem... I needed to disable the function in Clover that generates an SSDT with P & C states by using the following entry in my config.plist:

		<key>SSDT</key>
		<dict>
			<key>Generate</key>
			<true/>

---EDIT---

It didnt make a difference. It was a false positive. Back to the drawing board again, smh...

Removing both AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient kexts from S/L/E resolves the issue causing my system to auto-reboot; manually or in Terminal:

mv /Volumes/"NameOfOSXBootDisk"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPU* /Volumes/"NameOfOSXBootDisk"

---EDIT---

False positive; It didn't make a difference

Probably worth fixing before posting solutions that don't work. False positives?

I'm aware that some of the solutions I've posted turned out not to help much or work at all.This is just for my own personal logging, where I post updates each time I attempt something new to resolve my issue. If the time I put into this gets to the point where I run out of ideas then I will make a total new thread addressing this issue and then I will know exactly what supposed remedies I've already tried so I can scratch them off the list as potential solutions.

A false positive is an error in some evaluation process in which a condition tested for is mistakenly found to have been detected.

False positive ---> meaning my solution attempts found to be not working after the fact.
