Hello! I was successfully able to upgrade to macOS sierra GM but I can't get the system to boot over SATA it currently works fine over USB. I had the same problem in El Captain as well. I have a MSI g55-sli, intel i7-4790k, 16gb ram, booting from intel SSD. I have tried enabling Trim support using Rampagedev's guide. I have also included the verbose boot output. Thank you for your help!

Morning,

is your SATA set to AHCI in your BIOS?

check page 3-10 of your manual to find the "SATA Mode" information and where to find it in your BIOS.

OSX can't boot from SATA drives in IDE Mode...

Afternoon! I did set my BIOS to AHCI which is the default on my MB, I've have also tried the RAID setting as well. I set up my MB by following the guide in the link below. Clover will see the drives and EFI partitions but when I try and boot to them I get the above error. Thank you for replying!

So, it's the same SSD just booting from an icy dock instead of internal SATA. The boot args are -v dart=0 nvda_drv=1 kext-dev-mode=1 The boot args stay the same wether it is connected via icy dock or Internal SATA. Thank you for replying! This has been driving me crazy.

 

Did you ever resolve this issue ?
