I've come a long way with this, and I'm currently typing this from the desktop of Yosemite but these are my issues I need help with really bad...

 

First, this is my complete setup

 

Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX

CPU: AMD FX 8350 Black Edition

GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 970

Mointors: 3 (DVI, DVI2VGA, DP2VGA)

HDD: Single WD Raptor 74GB

 

Boot Flags No NVIDIA: -v npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 nv_disable=1

Boot Flags NVIDIA: -v npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 nvda_drv=1 (DOES NOT BOOT)

Boot Flags NVIDIA2: -v npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 nvda_drv=1 -x (Sits on black screens, then turns on my DVI Connected monitor with a mouse cursor and black background. No desktop. Nothing further.)

 

Bootloader: CLOVER USB Boot Stick. (Unable to install a bootloader?)

 

  1. NVIDIA Driver. I just cannot make it work. If I enable it with nvda_drv=1 it goes through verbose boot to where it would drop me on the desktop and then black screen.
  2. Bootloader, for some reason I cannot boot from the hard drive alone. I need to use the USB Stick. I'm thinking MAYBE if I used the Chameleon Bootloader MAYBE I'd have better luck? But so far I can't get that to work at all. Always boots up saying ONLY "boot0ss: error" Nothing more, not multiple lines of it, just that.

 

Any help would be great please, I'm so close I can taste it, I'm using it to type this post but its just so draggy because of the graphics I assume. :( Help?

I regret to inform everybody that I've jumped ship from AMD and will be replacing my Motherboard and CPU with the following...

Apologies to the AMD Community :(
