You are right, sorry. Yes with shift im pretty sure I have booted before.

 

Anyway you can always take out the video card and set the boot args and plug it back. Or make a defaults plist and put it in the efi partition

[mathew2005in]

Yeah I can remove it thats no problem but I was checking is there any command line option for the same...but putting an Defaults.plist in efi..how do I do without having an EFI shell??

 

Thanks..

[pmcnano]

Single user mounting a usb drive?...I can't think of anything else. Honestly just get the card out lol, its easier.

[alecwild]

What should be in the defaults.plist in order to allow the nvidia card to work?

I have just installed GTX 960 to my machine and after Apple logo it is in restarting loop..so

Is there any way to add nv_disable=1 in boot arg without revising Ozmosisdafults in bios and without an EFI shell?? actually I don't have EFI shell in bios..

I have tried single user mode and entered 

sudo nvram 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82:boot-args="nv_disable=1"

But no effect..

Any option??

 

Boot in single-user mode

Edit com.apple.boot.plist (in /Library/System/Preferences/SystemConfiguration .. form memory)  and add nv_disable=1 to boot-args

when you are ready to re-enable nvidia web drivers just remove it

@IronManJFF

Thanks will try that...

Hi guys.

 

I reset NVRAM, but on my EFI partition I still have EFI/Efi/Quo - no Oz folder:

 

 

None of my kexts in EFI/Efi/Quo/Darwin/Extensions/Common are loading. So I have no sound (no Voodoo devices detected), and no USB 3 fix because FakePCIID isn't loading.

 

And I can't get NVIDIA drivers to load. I've reinstalled them and typed 

 

sudo nvram boot-args="nvda_drv=1"

 

...but the drivers don't seem to work. The NVIDIA manager doesn't see my EVGA GTX 960s:

 

even though my computer recognizes them:

 

 

Finally, my system definition changed to iMac 14,2 - it used to be Mac Pro 3,1.

 

Please, any solutions?

Don't expect an ancient Version of Oz to work with new stuff, go upgrade.

[alecwild]

@Download-Fritz my Oz version is 167x.F6 - I think that's the newest release.

If it was 167X, there would be no Quo folder.

[alecwild]

I promise, it's 167x. That's what's so weird. I've flashed it 6 times, and still, it's a quo folder, not an oz folder. Can anyone advise?

Simple use and rename QUO in Oz manual.

And again reset NVRAM.

[cecekpawon]

Im late for Ozmosis so never saw the QUO folder. What bdmesg tell?

[crusher]

Last time you have a QUO folder on Ozmosis 894 version, later on 1479 or never you have a Oz folder.

[alecwild]

@crusher. - I renamed the folder to Oz, and reset NVRAM. My kexts still don't load. And I can't get the NVIDIA utility to recognize my Graphics card. Help?

[mhaeuser]

Are you sure Oz might not be using an other drive's ESP?

[alecwild]

How do you I tell?

Mount every ESP and see if you find the Oz Folder. If you can boot with Oz, reset NVRAM, boot into OS X and dump a log (do NOT restart after the restart from the NVRAM reset).

[alecwild]

@Download-Fritz You were right. The Oz folder was in disk4s1, a different internal disk I use for storage. I don't know why. My voodoo kext loads from that location, so that must be the ESP Oz is using.

 

I am booting into OS X, and NVIDIA drivers are recognized.

 

However, my defaults.plist in EFI/Efi/Oz doesn't seem to be loading. I'm trying to change the system definition.

Foz Oz to properly operate, you have to plug main boot drive to SATA 0. After that Oz will recognize EFI partition with all its content properly. (Defaults.plist, kexts etc. Don't forget to copy all the content).

[joe75]

Thats not true at all.. You can use any SATA port, especially if there is only one ESP in the system. I answered alecwild 3 days ago about it.

[mhaeuser]

Yeah, SATA 0 simply is usually discovered first by UEFI, may vary per vendor.

[alecwild]

That's the thing: my startup drive is plugged in to SATA 0. Which is why there was a Quo file structure on the EFI from back when I installed Oz 894. Apparently instead of changing that file, Oz created a different one on another SATA disk. Weird.

[WinstonAce]

Hi

I'm trying to inject EFI stings with dev-prop.bin

but it doesn't seem to work.

anyone can help with that?

 

Thanks

[WinstonAce]

So, it's not possible in latest ozmosis or just nobody know how to?
