Added 400 Watt PSU too.
I don't care about the serial, I don't think I am going to keep OSX on it.
After messing with a bunch of complicated config.plists, I found one setting in the BIOS. Max CPUID and set it for DISABLED. Sure enough the usual kexts and plist settings got it going. The board is GMA x4500 so no UEFI on that. It requires installing Clover legacy.
Vanilla installation using createinstallmedia command to get Sierra on the stick.
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction &&say Done
Clover install options for Legacy
Kexts
FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_BCM577XX_as_BCM57765.kext
Everything worked. All the hardware - and sleep. But if I tried to wake it immediately after it feel asleep (before the LED on the case goes to a blinking state) it wouldn't wake up.
Also, I noticed some of the transparency that is usually in Sierra like the command prompt when set for 'Pro' wasn't there. Probably Quartz or something. IDK
For onboard audio, I needed to add fix_HDA to the config.plist and a layout ID of 5.
