I encountered the dreaded “Error requested, memory exceeds our allocated relocation block error” during a recent upgrade from 10.10 to 10.11 on my OS X Hackintosh. The fix was much simpler than imagined.

For OS X El Capitain, you must disable the existing “OsxAptioFixDrv” and enable “OsxAptioFix2Drv”

You cannot use both at the same time, so be sure to disable one – then enable the other.

Also, a bonus tip – during the upgrade if you’re using the nvidia drivers, you should boot with nv_disable=1 until you have a chance to upgrade the driver to the El Capitain version, then re-enable with nv_drv=1

For the latest 10.11.5 here is the recommended upgrade procedure.  There are no known compatibility issues at this time for upgrading directly from the AppStore.

Download and Install the update from the AppStore.  Allow your machine to restart.

In clover, change your boot options to set [raw]

nv_disable=1

Boot.  Allow the update to continue and wait for it to install.  If you’re using -v boot flag don’t expect to see the normal progress indicator however the update will install in the background so be patient.

Once booted – download the latest NVIDIA Drivers.  Reboot after installing and use the standard [raw]

nvda_drv=1
