MeatWar Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 You should read some rules of Insanelymac regarding some tools/links referred. Your Vaio does not use UEFI bios, do USB Clover in legacy, by default, the hidden option in bios could be in AHCI as in some FZ and FE models...or not, there is some moded bios around the web on the subject.

calabuig Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 @MeatWar I can't find any hidden option in bios or modded bios for my sony Vaio. Which guide could I follow to install Yosemite with USB Clover in legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatWar Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hidden, means not user option to see/modify...so. Moded bios...google is ur friend. This option u may need it or not, some Vaio bios were not AHCI enable by default and most of all were VT-d disable, which is OK for OSX, so this is optional matter. Hervé pointed u some advice...did u look at it?

calabuig Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 I have success installing Niresh's Mavericks distro, but I'd like to install a vanilla version. So I'll try to follow your advices... Anyway, I have this problem now...with Niresh distro. I can't inject NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT card. I had to remove the graphics kexts installed by distro, because: 1) the video works only on external output monitor and 2) the system hangs out. Do you know what kext inject my video card? Nvenabler? And for Network ethernet? I tried to find modded bios for my Vaio with google but no trace at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calabuig Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks for your help, Hervé. My nVidia GPU is natively supported, but I can't find the way to change resolution from 1024x768. I attached the file from IORegistryExplorer. Could you tell me where I can find info to inject it through patched DSDT, please? And could you identify my LAN hardware, please? I can't find any info about it. Excuse me, but I need to resolve my problem. My MacBook Pro broke and I need it for work. Thanks again. my computer.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calabuig Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 So... I attached AID64 report. I can tell you that: - the wireless card isn't a problem. I don't need it; - the audio is ok, I don't need anything else about it; - the ethernet doesn't work and I need it; - the screen resolution...I can change in the bootloader max at 1400x900x32, even if I choose 1920x1080x32; - the keyboard and trackpad doesn't work and I need it. Do I have to use enoch bootloader? Which options? Thanks again for your help! Report.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calabuig Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hervé, I hope this is ok... and I attached a screen...I try to follow your guide for Yosemite...and the installation stops here. acpi_dsdt.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calabuig Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Do I have to put the file dsdt.aml in the same directory where is org.chameleon.plist? What do I have to change for Yosemite installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calabuig Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hervé, I put your dsdt.aml in the Extra folder (even with Chameleon Wizard) and nothing changed: no ethernet, no keyboard/trackpad and no screen resolution other than 1024x768. Please, note that I installed the last Enoch rev. available. Also, I try to use your guide for Yosemite with Clover (non UEFI) http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6731-d630-nvidia-yosemite-dp/ but the usb doesn't boot at all.

calabuig Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hervé, I'd need your help, again... I successfully installed Yosemite on my Vaio, but I have these problems: - keyboard/trackpad doesn't work; tried also RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller...no success - network ethernet doesn't work: tried Apple Marvell Yukon 2 88E8042 1.0...no success - nnVidia GeForce 8400... I have to use nv_disable=1 if I want to use the osx, otherwise at login the internal monitor goes black and the external monitor turns on...but the system stops. Strange happens: if I boot with -x flag the external monitor is ok, I can change resolutions, but the video has glitches. I also tried nVidia web drivers buth with no luck. When I use nv_disable=1, the internal monitor is ok but only with 1024x768 resolution. Tried to use your dsdt.aml, SMBIOS MacPro 3,1, MacBook Pro 5,1, but no changes. Any suggestions?

PippoX0 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi, I got Qe/Ci working on my Sony Vaio ( different model but same video card Geforce 8400M GT). Look here : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?/topic/307915-Sony-Vaio-VGN-FZ21M---QE/CI You need to inject some info in DSDT, to be able to use internal LCD.

calabuig Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yes, we can try a different NVCAP value for the nVidia 8400 specs injection in DSDT. Is there anything that I can provide to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PippoX0 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi Calabuig Yes, you have to use my QE/CI enable patch to be inserted in your DSDT. It is not really difficult. 1) Open DSDT editor (MaciASL) 2) goto GPU section and Insert my patch. You need set RAM memory to 128 Mb ( mine is 256 mb) "VRAM,totalsize", 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08 instead of 0x10 You need to verify that EDID monitor is the same 3) compile and save 4) copy it on /Extra Folder if Your Ethernet card is a Marvel Yukon 88E8055 then it can works OK --> You must insert/verify to have the right ID in Yukon2.Kext inside IONetworkingFamily.kext If you extract your DSDT with MaciASL and get from Windows/Linux the monitor EDID, then i can try to patch DSDT for you... For Ethernet , download and use DPCIManager to get ID ( i.e. 11AB,4363 or something else) then verify that the ID is present in Yukon2.kext which is inside IONetworkingFamily.kext otherwise you must insert it.

Ok, I attached my DSDT and report compiled with AID64 and another one with IORegistryExplorer. I tried to compare your DSDT and mine and the bigger difference, beyond your QE/CI enable patch, is that my DSDT hasn't monitor strings.

PippoX0 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Try this NVCAP in your DSDT: "NVCAP", Buffer (0x14) { /* 0000 */ 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, /* 0008 */ 0x06, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, /* 0010 */ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, ` I don't think injecting the VRAM info is an absolute necessity. Hi Hervé, that NVCAP is wrong for Sony Vaio Notebook. The right NVCAP specific for Sony Vaio GeForce 8400M GT is this one ( tested on my Sony VAIO) "NVCAP", Buffer (0x14) { /* 0000 */ 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, /* 0008 */ 0x7E, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x07, /* 0010 */ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can reach the login page with high resolution on internal screen (and not on external like before), but the system hangs up before the password typing (see attached photo, the messed symbols and freeze page). Unfortunately there is no verbose string to see what happens... I attached org.chameleon.bootlist and your DSDT. Any suggestions? Are there any boot flags to make it work? You're so near at the solution... Another problem is Marvell Yukon Ethernet card 88e8055...it doesn't work. I attached my Yukopn2's Info.plist. The ID is present. Can you verify it, please? Thanks!

PippoX0 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi, you don't have to use any Graphics Enabler on org.chameleon.boot.plist. Try new boot.plist For Ethernet card, insert new info.plist in Yukon2.Kext inside IONetworkFamily.kext. I recommend you to use Kext Utility to install it in /System/Library/Extensions I also recommend to use/install Enoch bootloader boofile.zip Report back See Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
