I have installed mavericks using ##### and ##### on;

 

asus z9pe-d8 with onboard vga enabled

 

everything was running smoothly the only things not functional were;

 

audio and network "not a big issue currently"

 

but when i installed my gpu gtx 780, with onboard vga still enabled , I get this message and mavericks won't boot

 

acpi_smc_platformplugin::gathercstateoverride - failed to set c-state demotion

 

and with vga disabled i get this

 

PCI Configuration Begin

 

i have installed the latest web driver form nvidia thinking it may help but the result remained unchanged

 

been looking for answers for a while but couldn't anything clear

 

any suggestions may help thank you.

interesting, I'm using the vanilla drivers and my gainward gtx780 phantom 6GB gddr5 works out of the box:

I used tonymacx method to install

 

not sure where to find the device ID, but I think the loader from multi is chameleon  

 

I heard about vanilla last week not sure what's the diffrences between vanilla and other installers

thanks for clearing things Allan 

 

do I need to start from scratch ? I barely used any kext 

 

is there a post installation that helps

 

dsdt was obtained from windows using Aida64 and that's it 

 

I may follow this and see how I go  http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners-updated-for-mavericks/

Hello

 

10.8.4 OSX versions...... I just tested in 10.9 and 10.9.1 and won't boot. With GE=yes/GE=no, editing kext, i tested everything and nothing...

 

I belive that support was added in 10.9.3

 

Anyway, good to heard and see this work

back again started from scratch good to see it going smoothly, no boot flags needed :)

 

regarding the Gpu got a new message now following vanilla method 

 

[AGPM Controller] unknownPlatform
X86PlatformPlugin::cgRegisterCallbackHandler - gpu internal PLimit notification already registered

 

with onboard vga disabled

 

pthread support aborts when sync kernel primitives misused

 

I was tempted to try connecting Gpu when the pc is running but didn't want to risk it

 

when using PCIRootUID=1 I can see the name of the Gpu along with the cpu

 

not sure if that means anything

Hello

Maybe yes, maybe not…

But i believe that with this os versions 10.9 you’ll start without qe/ci… because of this you'll need start always with -x(safe mode)

Hint: after installed osx, update for 10.9.4 versions via combo update, i believe that since 10.9.3 you card grafik has support. :)

I have installed the update 10.9.4 and the nvidia web drive update for it as well 

 

but unfortunately nothing changed

 

still getting errors 

 

acpi_smc_platformplugin::gathercstateoverride - failed to set c-state demotion

 

PCI Configuration Begin

 

pthread support aborts when sync kernel primitives misused - apple answers

 

The good news is, although in safe mode with no boot flags spacified, this the first time I am able to boot to mac with "onboard vga enabled"

 

I got used to removing the gtx780  from it's slot, in and out every time I try something new, and mac refusing to boot with and without vga onboard

 

I was able to install nvidia web driver, tempering with info plist file, changing the "s13E28" to "s13E", after rebooting it goes back to the way it was and nvidia is inactive 

 

very slooooow for a decent build :(

 

any Ideas how can I get it to boot normal even with minimal drivers installed.

Hello

 

What version SO are you using? 10.9 what?

I believe that only in 10.9.3 or 10.9.4 GTX 780 work... try update for this version to see if it work OOB

 

If doens't work even updating, try enable in Chameleon Wizard GraphicsEnabler(yes)

 

if doens't work again try use MacPro 3,1 to get your grafik card working...

 

These where my advices... please try them :)

Thanks again

 

I have tried everything I could think of 

 

I was looking yesterday at.. I think it was called DPCIMANAGER 

 

and it suggested Fakesmc and iondrvsupport

 

I tried fakesmc and I can see it recognised the card, Now it won't boot at all

 

is there a boot flag to ignore fakesmc?

 

maybe that was the reason I wasn't able to get it to boot before as installed fakesmc into my usb ... maybe

 

what is iondrvsupport?
