Clover 3751 w/ NvidiaWeb set

Legacy boot

iMac11,3 SMBIOS

LG monitor using DVI

 

As soon as I installed the new nvidia driver and rebooted my system boots to a black screen after the apple logo.  My monitor goes to sleep.  Only way I can get in to the OS is to use nvda_disable=1.  Normally I don't use nvidia injection in clover.  I have tried using nvidia injection and nothing has changed.  I have also tried adding my board-id to the applegraphicsdevicepolicy kext and that didn't change anything.

 

I'm all out of ideas.  What else can I try?  I've never had issues upgrading OS X before.  Getting ready to go back to 10.11 for now.

AGPDFix won't really help me.  It applies to imac 15, 17 and macpro6,1.  I did try to run it anyway and it told me SIP was enabled.  I then remembered I was only allowing unrestricted fs.  I then enabled allow unsigned kexts and now my graphics work (with my modified AGDP).

 

So, what I had to do to get os x sierra working on my system was:

 

1. Make sure to have NvidiaWeb set in the config.plist for clover

2. Use latest nvidia web drivers for os x sierra

3. Add my board ID Mac-F2238BAE to AGDP (I overwrote one of the other board-ids with my own).  Make sure the value is set to NONE

4. Make sure SIP is configured to allow unsigned kexts.
