BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task
Boot args: kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

When I am trying manual software restart ( by the menu not button ) then it happen very quick I see only this information:

macsurfs-imac.home.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.pc.launchd.domain.system) <Notice>: Userspace teardown syncing disks.... Killing all processes

continuing
Unmount of /home failed (45)
Unmount of /net failed (45)

Where can I find log information about restart and shutdown OS ?

About sound it chip on the mainboard ALC1150 doesn`t work with kext from #####, but universal driver VooodHDA works ( only front panel - back panel: no sound ) and stops working after computer sleep/wake state.

Of course with USB cards no problem.

Allan · November 15, 2016

Unnecessary boot-args: kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0

Chameleon/Enoch boot-args, not used in Clover: GraphicsEnabler=Yes

Check your power management, using IOReg.

Try use FixShutdown, or apply a patch in your DSDT.

Macsurf · November 16, 2016

Thanks

Yes ... you are right about GraphicsEnabler=Yes this is not for Clover. It should be in clover configuration in GRAPHICS menu: Inject Nvidia and in BOOT menu nvda_drv=1.

When I wrote in terminal ioreg, then I gave many information about ACPI devices.

FixShutDown I set on OFF because when it was on ON computer could not completly shutdown. Maybe my reset is good ? but if I would know where is full log about reset/shutdown then I would know more about potential problem.

My mistake with inject Nvidia in Clover Configurator because after that I had 0MB VRAM so I uncheck nvidia inject. Maybe it make sense when I fill in all gaps in this graphics sections. But in my case ( GTX 650Ti ) it propably doesn`t matter.

Allan · November 16, 2016

When I wrote in terminal ioreg, then I gave many information about ACPI devices.

Look: IOReg

FixShutDown I set on OFF because when it was on ON computer could not completly shutdown. Maybe my reset is good ? but if I would know where is full log about reset/shutdown then I would know more about potential problem.

You can do this using Console, and collecting more info using the Debug tool.

Macsurf · November 17, 2016

I noticed in HWMonitor that my GPU ( EVGA GTX 650Ti 2GB ) has the same values: GPU Core: 1.07GHz and GPU memory: 5.40GHz so power managment dosn`t work

Is there any solution for this issue ?

Allan · November 17, 2016

Extract your IOReg and put the file here.

Macsurf · November 17, 2016

Here you are: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31077415/Macsurf%E2%80%99s%20iMac.zip

In the section GFX0@2000 I don`t see any information about support ACPI/PM methods. So GPU currently not support PM

Allan · November 17, 2016

You already did some tests, with Geekbench or Xbench, Cinebench?

Macsurf · November 17, 2016

Of course I tested it using GeekBench and timing GPU and memory are constantly. For example in Windows I have GPU clock: 324MHz and Memory: 162. So evidently there is problem with power managment for GPU or maybe HWMonitor can`t refresh information about GPU which I doubt.

Maybe I should try install webdrivers ? It strange because GTX 650ti is native support.

Allan · November 17, 2016

You can change the update rate for Sensors.

About testing with Webdrivers, maybe you can get a good performance.

Or creating an LegacyAGPM can help too.

Macsurf · November 18, 2016

I think that can be problem with HWMonitor when I changed in option to History graphs after 10-15 sec. GPU has been changed to 324 and memory 648Mhz ( in windows about 120Mhz ). So PM for GPU rather it is OK.

I have just updated first post about configuration and status of working my Hackintosh. So it remained issue with built in AUDIO so work still progress and I will let know about it when I solve it.

BTW I am sorry for my poor english

Allan · November 18, 2016

So it remained issue with built in AUDIO so work still progress and I will let know about it when I solve it.

This codec is very easy to set up.

I recommend you use AppleALC.

BTW I am sorry for my poor english

NP bro

I'm a english beginner too :blush:

Macsurf · November 18, 2016

Thanks for your support. Your english is perfect

Ok I solved a issue with AUDIO for build in ALC1150 chipset using Clover injection "Kext Patched" ( patched AppleHDA.kext in RAM memory ) and additional kext: AppleHDA_Uniwersal_ALC8xx_v2.0.kext ( in /S/L/E ) for 10.11.2 El Capitan.

Audio works after sleep/wake up. Default it works on front panel as Headphone jack in System Preferences->Sound can change to back panel ( Line-out port ).

I can`t paste image with clover kext patches if it is not possible I will paste raw text with section of kext audio patches from clover config ( config.plist )

Allan · November 18, 2016

For upload some thing here, you can use our Forum tools.

How to upload files or kexts.

Macsurf · November 18, 2016

Patched AppleHDA.kext in memory via clover inject ( config.plist ). It can add these values directly via Clover Configuration -> Kernel and Kext Patches -> (+) KextToPatch ( find and replace values are must be in HEX !!! ). As I mentioned above is required also this kext: AppleHDA_Uniwersal_ALC8xx_v2.0.kext ( /S/L/E ).

Macsurf · November 19, 2016

I have problem with Turbo Mode. I set Max Multipler on 32x ( nominal value for i5 4460 ) maybe I should give 34x ? Maybe I should change C3 Latency ?

HWmonitor shows only two values x8 and x32 I think that should be also intermediate values ? am I right ?

In Windows I have intermediate states between: 8x - 34x

I set value for field C3 Latency to: 0x00FA and in HWmonitor I see maximum value multipler for CPU: 32x and sometimes 33x not 34x.

Macsurf · November 24, 2016

OK I had two method for SSTD so it could cause some conflicts. Now I have only tables SSDT from piker script ( ssdtPRGen.sh ) and disabled all section from SSDT clover.

Due to the fact that I had smbios for iMac 14,2 there is no intermediate values between min and max. Just only min and max + turbo states. So about PM for CPU haswell is everything OK for my config platform.

XCPM should also work / my log:

Nov 23 11:36:35 localhost kernel[0]: XCPM: registered
Nov 23 11:36:39 Macsurfs-iMac kernel[0]: IOPPF: XCPM mode

To sum up I can recommed my platform for Hacintosh / El Capitan OS X. Everything works perfectly. Soon I will test my system for more required applications like: Cinema 4D, FCPX and Adobe softwares

Of course If I will find any problems with this platform then I will update this topic to solve all potential problems

Macsurf · November 24, 2016

I noticed that after wake up of computer my GPU working on maximum frequencies: 1.07GHz and memory: 5.4GHz.
Before sleep GPU worked well, there was normal frequencies 324MHz for GPU and Memory: 648 MHz during desktop working.

Configuration from AGPM:

OK problem with GPU no Power Managment after sleep/wake up has been solved Just it needs to disable inject nvidia in Clover ( graphics section )

Macsurf · December 10, 2016

I made a movie with full description of installation EL Capitan and post installation including fix some problems:

El Capitan Hackintosh Installation

Allan · December 10, 2016

Nice video!

What's the code that you has used for fix "OS X El Capitan application can't be verified..." error?

Macsurf · December 12, 2016

What's the code that you has used for fix "OS X El Capitan application can't be verified..." error?

Thanks

This is problem when you have older version EL Capitan example 10.11.2.

You know installer is digitally signed so to fix this problem you have to change the date for older example 2015.
