I assume from your report that you didn't have anything out of the ordinary go wrong on an upgrade using Clover? I still get nervous installing from the app store even after many successful upgrades. Old habits from my nForce4 mackintosh days.

Heads up to El Capitan upgraders: Sxvirtuallink (also known as the lovely software you install to use USB things hooked up to your Linksys router) will kernel panic your upgrade on boot and make you waste an entire evening figuring it out unless you remove the kext. On the bright side this hackintosh is now running a fresh new El Cap/Clover install and finally sleeps properly.

enMTW posted:You're right on track with 'Gigabyte/Realtek ALC/Intel NIC'. My only thing to add is that Atheros's Killer NIC works great in OS X too. Are there any good gigabit PCIe NIC's that work natively on Yosemite/El Cap? I've seen a few models but they seem to have some drawbacks like getting flaky under load. I'm using a Realtek based NIC right now that works with a kext but the anal part of me really wants to find something vanilla because it's the only kext I use right now.

enMTW posted:Yeah. Which Realtek NIC do you have? If I'm remembering correctly, there is a newer/stable kext for current motherboards. If you don't know which NIC exactly (who does) I can get it if you tell me which motherboard you have. The current NIC really isn't a problem. I have a nice stable kext that works great. I'm just one kext away from having a totally bone stock Clover install with everything working out of box and being anal about it.

enMTW posted:Ah I see. Two kexts, if you count FakeSMC. Aside from having to upgrade the NIC kext and remove the stupid SXVirtual kext, Yosemite -> El Cap was as easy as on my real macs. Kind of amazing really considering my first hackintosh was an nForce4 based one where there was so much kext and kernel hacking happening that I was afraid to install security updates, let alone point releases or an entire OS upgrade.
