I am trying to install El Captain on this spare pc of mine (I have some light studio work I want to do on it) and I HAVE installed El Cap on this system back in the day, but the HDD I had in there bit the dust and now I am trying to remember how I had everything set up to get into the installer. I have uploaded my zipped EFI so you can see if maybe there's an obvious reason as to why i'm getting stuck at [PCI Configuration Begin]
What guide are you following? : https://internet-install.gitbook.io/macos-internet-install/
What steps have you taken to learn more about the problem? : Google has become my best friend, I have learned that the NVidia 9500 GT should (In theory) work OOB, but I have also tried the basic nv_disable=1, npci=0x2000 and 3000, as well as these boot args suggested by the vanilla guide, -v debug=0x100 nv_disable=1 kext-dev-mode=1 dart=0 , so i'm open to any suggestions on what I might be missing!
As far as my PC Specs go, granted the are quite a bit dated, I'm not really here for you to comment about how old my equipment is or how "being behind on OSes is insecure." (I only say this because I guess my last thread got deleted for some reason???)
HP Pavilion Elite m9510f-
Mobo: ipibl-lb benecia (775 Socket)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33Ghz
GPU: Nvidia 9500GT
Networking: Realtek 8111C
Here's the link to my EFI that I uploaded https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ml-Wf-fdRXL0hYzpbHQrMfFcYXGgrdI6/view?usp=sharing
I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. <3 I just think that learning more about Hackintosh would be a fun adventure and look forward to maybe diving into a more complex build if I can figure this one out!
Cheers, Kita.
