TUFF Stough Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Dear All, After successfully resurrect my old rig that got struck by lightning (thanks to all the supportive members in this forum ), I have an itch to upgrade it to Sierra. Since my rig is used to be MacPro3,1 which is no longer supported, I change the My Mac info to iMac10,1 using Clover Configurator and the download of the Sierra installer can be started. But since the speed on my network is very slow, I decided to continue it another day. The next day when my daughter want to use my PC, the boot stuck at 'Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport'. Wait for ages with no sign of continuing the process. Tried with nv_disable and nv_enable, and nv_inject with no success. So today, I have my HDD brought together with me to my office to see what can be done offline with the config.plist or FakeSMC.kext in order to pass the booting sequence. But to do this, I need any direction from members of this forum once more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 post ur full clover folder what ur new gpu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFF Stough Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 The new GPU is Effoxpro 210GT. Currently I've restore the old config.plist with MacPro3,1 and it can boot normally again without nv_enable nor nv_disable boot args. So I'm pretty much sure there's something not compatible in the config.plist that prevents the kext detection. But I'm still curious about Sierra. Later on, I'd like to try exchanging the Mac model once more then post here the differences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFF Stough Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 check if 210 work in sierra if u change smbios to iMac, try use npci=0x2000 it's already has npci=0x2000. But I notice there are some boot args that is dismissed after change the SMBIOS to iMac10,1. I need to see it in detail when I have spare time.
