I had a fully working 7850 2gb on mavericks 10.9.5 with i3 2120 & GA B75M-D3H.

Installed yosemite as upgrade today and the gpu stopped working.Reinstalled the mavericks kexts but it remains same.

I use the latest chameleon in legacy boot(no UEFI) and i always booted with GE=No.

Here is the problem:

here is my org.chameleon.Boot.plist:

I need help.What should i do?

Thanks in advance.

good hack

Btw when i try to boot with GE=Yes,it shows memory allocation error.

I have in bios settings: Init display first=auto and Internal graphics=disabled.

How to fix it? (to boot via GE=Yes)

Try these one

-f -v GraphicsEnabler=No AtiConfig=Pitcairn AtiPorts=4

If it show blackscreen add PciRoot=1

If it is hang post a picture.

Good luck

Sure i will.But i am starting to understand the huge mistakes i have made.The dsdt im using is not even mine.So i am learning and making my own.

GraphicsEnabler=Yes is only needed for forcing custom framebuffer. Do as artur says and reinstall all stock 10.10 amd kexts, your 6819 id is already included.

I now understand sir.

I couldnt boot without safemode from hdd.I was able to boot from hdd using the installation usb with -v GraphicsEnabler=No.I dont know if that will work or not.

Anyways i removed my dsdt,restarted in the previous manner and ran your RunMe.app.Here is the SendMe.zip.

Aji framebuffer .. if u want test others .. just edit the dsm method

 

attachicon.gifDSDT.aml.zip

Also i think the device id of gpu u put in DSDT is wrong.

0x18, 0x68,

should be 0x19, 0x68.

 

I changed that and tested,same result.

Earlier i restored original amd7000 kext from yosemite install usb drive.

2-3 messages about  RadeonSensors : still waiting for accelarator to start

com.apple.AMDRadeonAccelarator : The vtable '__ZTV20AMDAcclEventMachine' is malformed.Make sure your kext has been built against coorect headers.

failed to load kext from com.apple.AMDRadeonAccelarator - link failed/failed to load

hello

 

check ur kext .. must use the original ones from 10.10 build ..

 

about the radeon sensors for now .. delete it .. is a plugin from fakesmc

 

must boot with ge=no

 

if that don't work .. sorry don't have no clue...

 

maybe is a good idea .. make a clean install .. that system is messy .. with change of kext .. caches..

 

good hack

good news.fresh install did help.gpu is recognized  as amd radeon hd 7xxx 2048 mb in first boot.I will report with more data later.

P.S. clover seemed hard to understand at the moment and this is a great forum.

That good for you.

Acttually clover work uot better than chameleon, just because you can't config it rigth.

Sorry offtopic, but rather not start a new one if problem has easy fix.

When running the unigine benchmark on my HD6870, the screen goes black after about 15 seconds and never returns.

After hard reset everything is OK again. Hardware is 100% OK and stable in windows (furmark intelburn etc...)

Is this is a known issue with this video card? Yosemite BTW

Start a new topic, put your hard ware and instalation detail to it, some other have more knowledge about it and help it out more easy.
