Thanks buddy. That's exactly what I did, started again. Yes, it's the correct USB controller as the keyboard works under clover during boot. Now I can pass single USB devices, but when I pass the entire controller it crashes. Good news is that I can get it to boot with the UEFI bios and Clover, I hate legacy I'll look into it and thanks again for your help!

Hey gridrunner, Are you running <kernel>/mnt/user/ssd/enoch_rev2795_boot</kernel> ? Enoch doesn't detect my keyboards, changing it to clover and it's ok.

Im just used to clover. But I'm getting desperate so I might move back to Enoch and see how I go. It's funny at the moment, I"m trying to control my 4K screen via VNC as I have no input devices, lol

Heh all works except for USB, so no KB, Mouse or BT, I'm can only access it via VNC, lol

Yep. Full Res Accelerated. I just added nvda_drv=1 in clover, and installed the latest Nvidia Web drivers of course. [edit] sorry I could of been a little clearer On first boot, boot with nv_disable=1 Install latest nvidia web drivers Reboot and add nvda_drv=1 to clover's boot args

Thanks for that peter. I've also tried with passing single devices rather than the entire controller, and that crashes as well. Seems when I pass USB Clover crashes, take it out and clover is happy. Do you guys also have? <controller type='usb' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> Also you're using SeaBios right?

Thanks gridrunner. I've used your config (only changed the addresses) and it's still the same. Can I get your config file please? Something else must be causing a conflict.

Wow, Thanks for your help peter. It's all happening, I even passed the GPU and the GTX 970 is happy with OSX. I'm having a problem with the USB though, I'm passing the entire controller. But when I'm passing the controller through the keyboard is working at Clover, but I'm getting a kernel panic on boot. "unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".../IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1665" Does my passthrough look ok to you guys? I've also tried USBBusFix=Yes but it doesn't seem to help.

There are always issue with what we do I can't seem to get clover to boot for the life of me, are you using the VMF-pure-efi.fd bios Peter? If i use the EFI/Clover: <target dev='hdb' bus='virtio'/> Clover stops booting, I'm guessing it doesn't know about the virtio driver and if I set it as SATA, ie: <target dev='hdb' bus='sata'/> EFI Bios doesn't see the disk. Cheers.

Thanks for the help peter_sm & archedraft. I'll give it a go, you guys rock!

Thanks archedraft. Ok next mission, have you tried getting it to boot with clover using waschbenzin's clover image from insanelymac? I tried everything and all i'm getting is +++++++++ from clover when I'm booting from the HDD.

Thanks for your help archedraft. Managed to get the installer to run, woohoo. I used the passthrough and nv_disable=1 and it seems to work. I was reading your posts, what are the chances of us getting sleep to work? That would be awesome, I can finally get rid of the desktop.

Created a new image: Install_OS_X_10.11.1_El_Capitan.iso (based on 10.11.1) Got your XML again, just changed the paths, very weird. Are you running it on 6.1.4 and qemu-x86_64 version 2.3.0 archedraft ? Cheers.

Thanks archedraft.
