PsychoKoopa Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I've had a successful and functioning hackintosh for a while now. It's running Yosemite and has Clover as the boot loader. I want to update to Sierra but am having trouble doing so. I have updated my Clover to the latest version and put the mandatory boot lefts in their folder within the EFI partition. I run the Install macOS Sierra app and when the PC restarts I boot into the Installer partition with verbose to make sure nothing goes wrong. But it does go wrong. I get an error that says: "Error loading kernel cache (0x9)" I'm not sure what this means. Can anyone help me. Is there any way I can get to Sierra? Specs: CPU: i7 3770 Mobo: OEM Acer Board (MC605) GPU: GTX 760 SC Below is a video of me trying to boot into the update partition. Also a note. I deleted OSXAptioFixDrv but kept OSXAptioFixDrv2 as it would give me another error when booting into the update partition. However now the option for me to boot into my existing Yosemite installation is gone. I'm not sure if these are related. Any help is appreciated.

Allan Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 This method for real Macs are not 100% secure in Hackintoshes. For avoid problems, always do a clean install. If you have another Mac/Hack try create a new Penboot: Making a 10.10/10.11 USB Installer /w Clover (UEFI and Legacy) the correct way! Or you can create a penboot using: Flash Drive Maker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323484-problems-updating-to-macos-sierra-from-yosemite/#findComment-2419920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKoopa Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 I was thinking of trying that. I was hoping there was another way but oh well. Guess I'm gonna have to back up my important stuff to my windows drive. Thanks. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323484-problems-updating-to-macos-sierra-from-yosemite/#findComment-2419929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Before that, tell us, what are the boot-args that you're using? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323484-problems-updating-to-macos-sierra-from-yosemite/#findComment-2419940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKoopa Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Well I don't remember which ones I used when booting into my original Yosemite installation but I can't do that anymore. The ones I'm using for trying to boot into the installation are the default Clover ones as well as verbose and -f. It hasn't worked Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323484-problems-updating-to-macos-sierra-from-yosemite/#findComment-2419955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 And you can't enter in Clover GUI anymore? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323484-problems-updating-to-macos-sierra-from-yosemite/#findComment-2419961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKoopa Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 I can't enter my existing Yosemite installation as it doesn't show up in the boot menu anymore and I can't enter the Sierra update as I get error loading kernel cache 0x9 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323484-problems-updating-to-macos-sierra-from-yosemite/#findComment-2419977 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychoKoopa Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I backed up what was needed and burned Niresh Sierra to a USB. I booted into the Sierra USB in Legacy Mode (Clover wouldn't work for some reason) with the argument cpus=1 as that's what I did with Yosemite. Now I have a new problem. I go through the setup process but when I press install I get the error: "No bless setting for a primary boot program was found". Any ideas on how to fix this. If I have the opportunity to install Sierra, I'd rather do that instead of reinstall Yosemite.

Allan Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 If you still have problems with the installation, I suggest you use the .raw macOS images of Olarila Forum. All of the images are clean, without mess 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323484-problems-updating-to-macos-sierra-from-yosemite/#findComment-2420270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
