burgurboy Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hey guys, I have a dell t7400 xeon 5472 processors I can't get my nvidia graphics to work, no matter what boot flags or web drivers i use. It appears I have some underlying issue. i've tried the following: quadro fx 5600: runs perfectly in mavericks, KP's in yosemite. 9600gt: runs perfectly in mavericks, no video output in Yoesmite gtx 760: runs perfectly in maverics, no qe/ci in yosemite and finder/dock/screensaver crashes constantly. The one constant I've find in the crash logs in "com.apple.geforcegldriver" I've tried this with several different builds of 10.10 including a 10.10.2 build that's ben running on another hackintosh for months without any graphics issues. for some reason, on this machine (and only in yosemite) i can't get nvidia graphics to work correctly. I'm posting from said hack right now (booted with -x). I've been pulling my hair out for weeks. I'm ready to leave it on mavericks and sell the thing (I need the latest for FCPX)...

Shaneee Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Have you tried using the boot flag nvda_drv=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgurboy Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yes, i've tried that (along with the latest web driver) graphicsenabler=y/n pcirootuid=1/0 npci=0x2/3000 dart=0 etc,etc,etc You name it, i've tried it. The thing is, EVERYONE say the gtx 760 world flawlessly, out of the box on OS X built-in drivers. it should not be giving me issues. my computer seems to have some problem with Nvidia stuff but, only in Yosemite.

Shaneee Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It should work ootb. Try a clean instalation using only Vanilla OS X not a distro as they can cause problems like this. Also use the latest Clover package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgurboy Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) gtx 760 working with nvidia web driver what is name bootloader u use ? and u have try clover legacy I've tried chimera 4.0.1,4.1.0, and the latest version of chameleon. It should work ootb. Try a clean instalation using only Vanilla OS X not a distro as they can cause problems like this. Also use the latest Clover package. Agreed, I don't think its a coincidence though that none of my (previously functional) Nvidia cards work on 10.10 in the machine. Every build I've used has been vanilla. I can try again with clover but, I could never get the installer to run probably. It was if i was stuck at USB 1.0 speeds. It look a little over an hour to boot into the installer (which was then unusable). I used Tonymac's guide I don't remember seeing any "legacy" options (despite being mentioned in the guide) but, I can give it another shot this evening.

Moorviper Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 use clover with chamelion/chimera i never had a stable hackintosh with clover now its's very fine. i only use chamelion when i need no grafigcard in osx. (when used as a Wifi-Accespoint or a timemaschine backup only system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgurboy Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I tried installing clover using an older guide (on YouTube) but received a different kernel panic before reaching the installer. It seems like every guide I use it completely different. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a "legacy" install? Also, is it possible to just install clover over top of my current "Chameleon install" as opposed to wiping/reinstalling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooSee Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 there's no need to switch your bootloader. never got problems with legacy installs and nvidia cards. i always use chameleon - Enoch Versions. you should try one of the Installer Versions from Chris1111. don't forget to backup before new install good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgurboy Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Well. I tried chris1111's method without success. wiped my mavericks build in the process. any other suggestions? I tried installing clover over top of my 10.10 chameleon install. no dice there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmos Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Why not u make install with CIM .its easy and clean. 2nd Download Clover and install .why you need above tools.You already running OS X ,you just need to edit config.plist and put needed in to clover.

I haven't been able to find a decent guide for a "legacy" clover setup. when I create a clover usb using the "tonymacx86" guide, it boots at usb 1.0 speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgurboy Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Here's what I'm not understanding, Last night I took the 10.10.2 build from the dell (chameleon, boots fine, no ce/qi, finder crashes, etc), I plugged it into my other hackintosh (older gigabyte 775 socket). and it ran perfectly fine.

burgurboy Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Thank you for the suggestions! I tried both but, both methods still boot in USB 1.0 speeds (takes an hour to boot to the installer) To speed things up, I wiped my HDD, made two partitions, and installed the installer & clover on one and tried to boot from that (using the same legacy settings as the USB). No luck, it crashes a few seconds into booting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgurboy Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm using the same 8gb stick that I use for my c.h.a.m.e.l.e.o.n installs. I tried moving to the rear USB slots but, had no luck there either. I saw another post where someone had the same issue. they installed with c.h.a.m.e.l.e.o.n then flashed clover to the HDD after the install was complete. I'm attempting that now. If that doesn't work, I may try Niresh 10.10 (although I've read Final Cut Pro does not play well with non-vanilla kernels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have installation failed error ,check log for whats wrong. I saw another post where someone had the same issue. they installed with chameleon then flashed clover to the HDD after the install was complete. I'm attempting that now. Did you already install OS X yet ? and can u post config.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes me over an hour to reach the installer. it seems useless to try and run the installer. i've installed via c.h.a.m.e.l.e.o.n and then installed clover on the finished install but, cannot boot after that.
