I have got a Sapphire R9 280 Dual X 3GB and it stuck at rainbow cursor.I can boot my hackintosh with -x boot and i can see my graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 7xxx 3072 MB) .Spakk and Shaneee told me follow this guide :http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308652-r9-280x-toxic-3gb/

 

But i don't know dsdt editing.Is there any solution without dsdt editing?

 

I am using enoch bootloader.

no problem,

  • install DSDT-Editor for windows operating system and export a raw dsdt

         or use Aida64, then export the dsdt file and upload the file

  • how export a dsdt, is not complicated, run youtube there you'll find a few examples.

Please replace these drivers, in  /System/Library/Extensions/
and then boot  your system,  when you have successfully booted,

then export the ioreg-file with IoregExplorer.app, so that we can see the exact

place of the graphics card.  

use this bootflag: -v -f  kext-dev-mode=1 npci=0x3000 GraphicsEnabler=No

 

 

the DSDT.aml is almost finished, I lack only the exact place where the graphics card is. I can upload them here, maybe someone is able to determine the exact place.

Can you write us more precisely the problems? or upload a picture of the problem? Is your graphics card not recognized correctly? what are the exact problems?

 

Edit:

Have you made any changes in S / L / E? , The two drivers that I have posted above, do undo the original drivers, that were previously installed, then repair disk permissions and renew the cache with Kext wizard

which drivers you use in /Extra/Extensions/  ? which smbios.plist do you use?

Just for info:

the DSDT.aml and Smbios.plist must in to folder ---> /Extra/
if you use a DSDT.aml and a smbios.plist, then write the entries in the org.chameleon.boot.plist::
 

    <key>DSDT</key>
    <string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string>
    <key>SMBIOS</key>
    <string>/Extra/SMBios.plist</string>

This means that your hackintosh will not boot to the desktop? is that correct?
try to Install this driver in to folder /Extra/Extensions/  then repair disk permissions in Extra/Extensions (with Kext wizard)

 

and boot with: -v -f kext-dev-mode=1 npci=0x3000 UseKernelcache=No GraphicsEnabler=No  (try the same with this flag PCIRootUID=1 )

 

and as has already been described , remove the two problematic extensions from S/L/E: AppleTyMCEDriver.kext and AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext (repair disk permissions in S/L/E )

Edit:

an AMD hackintosh behaves a little bitchy, unlike Intel hackintosh... but you need patience....if the hackintosh once running, then running very good.

Yes my hackintosh will not boot to the desktop,it is that correct now i am going to try your latest post,i will let you know.

Edit: @spakk love you man :)  :wub:  it is working now :)

I think : AMD replace kext for Yosemite  fix my problem

Yes, install the package for FX-CPU

Always be patient, think logically, and fix any problem step by step. then everything will work fine. :)

If your system is running, then make a backup of your running system. I make always paralllel to my main partition a safety backup! ^_^

 

 

Edit:

now I have to say goodbye, it was a long hard day.... ... we can write tomorrow
