Clover General discussion

[chris1111]

Its really strange resolution shows correctly but after clover boot screen desktop never come.(HDMI or DVI) I can just reach to desktop with nv_disable=1 argument. But this time VRAM shows 7MB. But also no any kernel panic. I tried in verbose mode system loaded. No desktop. Also tried AGDPfix nothing changed.

 

I am really dont know what can I try.

check your Nvram if you have boot args ?

Terminal

 

sudo nvram -p > ~/Documents/nvram.txt

Its shown nvda_drv=1 for boot arg.

[chris1111]

Its shown nvda_drv=1 for boot arg.

Ha Ha !!

 

sudo nvram boot-args=""

 

Reboot   

[telepati]

Ha Ha !!

 

sudo nvram boot-args=""

 

Reboot   

 

Nothing changed. Still same. I can reach with nv_disable=1 and 7MB VRAM.

check if the boot args is remove

sudo nvram -p > ~/Documents/nvram.txt

telepati, you need AGDP fix. You need to patch AGDP for the SMBIOS you got.

Yes its removed. I check also from clover boot screen under option section.

I also tried that. Nothing changed.

 

 

I am using UEFI GOP for GTX 660. Should I something from BIOS other than these?

 

Bios > PEG or PCIE> CSM Disable > Patch vBios > Clover Screen Coming No Desktop

Bios > PEG or PCIE > CSM Enable > Patch vBios > Clover Screen Coming No Desktop

Bios > PEG or PCIE > CSM Disable > Patch vBios > CSM Driver > Nvda_drv=1 > Clover Screen Coming No Desktop

Bios > PEG or PCIE > CSM Disable > Patch vBios > CSM Driver > nv_disable=1 > Desktop coming with VRAM: 7MB

Did you try Inject Nvidia  under Graphics  Clover ?

Try AGDP patching after putting CsrActiveConfig at 0x67.

I already done that. It doesnt help either.

[Dwarfy]

I'm out of ideas. Did you check if it works with another SMBIOS, such as iMac 14,2? if iMac 14,2 works, then it surely is AGDP problem. 

 

The thing is, some SMBIOS are only for AMD, and needs patching in AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext which is in AppleGraphicsControl.kext. These SMBIOS are iMac 15, 17 and Mac Pro 6,1, as they use AMD graphics cards. 

 

I hope you solve the problem, good luck.

Yes I also tried different SMBIOS it doesnt help either.

 

Thank you.

[Dwarfy]

Yes I also tried different SMBIOS it doesnt help either.

 

Thank you.

From your config.plist, I see you've used tools from a site we don't support. Maybe it will help if you use tools provided on this site instead...? Or use Clover + Manual method...?

Post your graphics rom here, so we can check if clover reads the correct values...

I attached my GOP.rom.

Try different smbios that doesn't need agdm fix like imac14,2.

@Slice, just an update on E5  2699 V4; same issue as before, on the Z10PE-D16 WS, Dual e5's can't go pass the AptioFix screen, in random it's ether reboots or gets stuck on it. Any suggestions?

 

reboot on

 

OsxAptioFixDrv: Starting overides for System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi

Dual Xeon system is out of my budget to debug.

Disable SIP entirely.

Be sure you have DataHubDxe.

Verify config.plist settings step by step. Be sure you know about every value in it.

Don't load any kext except FakeSMC.

[Balamut]

Will do, will have a complete report for you by the morning

Why are you willing the waste your two xeon's with OS X as host. Just virtualize it on a KVM...

[Balamut]

Are you really gonna compare bare metal to a virtual environment?

[smolderas]

Are you really gonna compare bare metal to a virtual environment?

eh, yes. With your CPU's you can just go ahead and compare yourself, you could even passthrough a GPU and get a bare metal performance from your VM's...

[artur_pt]

hello

 

is just a VM .. really u never have it the real thing .. 

 

and with ur cpus .. nah that is for real hardware .. big machines .. what u have is a good pc ..
