Hi!
I've been away from the Hackintosh field for a while, but wanted to reinstall an old Asus P5K-Premium (C2D) computer which has worked flawlessly in the past as a Hackintosh. It's not going to run any other OS for the moment, Mac only.
El Capitan seems to be a good choice, same as my trusty old Mac Pro 3.1, which can't get Sierra anyways.
In the past I always updated through App Store, no problems except having to re-run Kext Beast with network/audio/AppleRTC Kexts. This worked, but was a bit of a hassle really, not 'Vanilla' enough. Not sure if AppleRTC is needed, but wake from sleep/hibernation DOES work perfectly. (Although going to sleep takes approx 1 minute, and waking takes 30 seconds).
It was installed with UniBeast and MultiBeast with DSDT edited for MB+GPU.
AFAIK Clover is the next best thing, it seems like it threats the system as a more Vanilla Mac once set up. Kexts are not overwritten when updating as it is kept outside the actual installation, is this correct?
When I now installed El Capitan and Clover Legacy (flawlessly by following the guide, thank you!) I was missing audio and network, as ALC883 wasn't one of the options, and RTL8111 was the only option for network.
I tried finding '/EFI/Clover/kexts' to install them, but couldn't find it anywhere. Is it a different approach for 'Legacy' installs?
I used Kext Beast to install them from the desktop to '/Library/Extensions', and while I got both LAN cards (Realtek & Marvell) working with my old Kexts, audio is still not working with my AppleHDA kext, probably need to hunt something down.
But I still can't understand where Clover 'is', I can't find it on the system, although it works perfectly, boots without any problems from HDD.
Was it 'wrong' to install kexts with Kext Beast, is there a better way?
What about DSDT? I haven't used the custom DSDT for the system. Things seem to work anyways.
Sorry for all my noob questions here, I'm just really confused with this new stuff. Especially Kext installations.
