Lilkitt1424 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Alright, so, I got Mavericks installed on my build: Z77-DS3H 8Gb DDR3-1333 RAM OC'd to 1600 i7-3770k (OC'ng shortly to 4.2) EVGA GTX570 HD 1280MB 250GB Crucial M500 SSD 1TB Seagate 7200RPM HDD Vantec FireWire 800/400 UGT-FW210 Using this thread/tutorial by A.I.Ghost I followed it pretty closely and made a few changes for my specific build as follows: After following all his steps I got everything except the HWMonitor package to work, so I installed FakeSMC v5.3.820 via MultiB**** to the USB installer, then booted perfectly using "-v -f npci=0x2000". Installed, deleted AppleKextExcludeList.kext, copied FakeSMC back, rebooted into OSX using "-v -f npci=0x2000" Ran MultiB**** again and selected FakeSMC v5.3.820 + Plugins/HWMonitor App, under Audio I selected Realtek ALCxxx>Without DSDT>Optional 3 Port Audio Enabler, under Disk I enabled 10.9.0 TRIM Patch (for the 250Gb M500 SSD), under Network I selected Atheros - Shailua's ALSEthernet v1.0.2 so it would be injected directly into the IONetworkingFamily.kext instead of alt-loaded by Extra, then installed Chameleon from the installer A.I.Ghost suggested and dropped in his org.chameleon.plist, taking out the -v npci=0x2000 flags After that I got a warning that kexts from unkown developers were installed, so I went to:System preferences>Security and privacy>Unlock (password needed)>Allow apps downloaded from:Anywhere Rebooted into an almost perfect installation with everything almost fully functional. ----------------- Tried Clover for awhile. Used this to go to Clover http://www.insanelym...ionadd-to-bios/ Boots damn quick, but I keep getting two errors in Console that are a little unsettling:PM kernel[0]: FireWire GUID 0000000000000000 is invalid!PM plugin-container[952]: AVF error: AVF_VirtualAcceleratorCreate: fail to create QT accelerator If anyone knows how to help with either issue please comment asap. Ran VDADecoderChecker and got: AVF info: hasOfflineRenderer, board-id check : true AVF info: Successfully connected to the Intel plugin, offline Gen6 AVDCreateGPUAccelerator: Error loading GPU renderer An error was returned by the decoder layer. This may happen for example because of bitstream/data errors during a decode operation. This error may also be returned from VDADecoderCreate when hardware decoder resources are available on the system but currently in use by another process. VDADecoderCreate failed. err: -12473 logout I feel like it might be ignoring my nVidia card for some reason or another, even thought the only display in use is hooked into the GTX570 HD. I'll share my Clover zip below. I'm sure something is a little off, but it boots my above mentioned rig in about 14sec and everything, aside from the two errors mentioned, works perfectly. All you need to do to apply it is format your EFI partition to FAT32 and unzip contents to it, then change BIOS to boot from UEFI EFI partition. You can test it first by formatting a USB drive to FAT32 and copying the contents of the ZIP there instead, then setting BIOS to boot from the UEFI USB drive. If you're using ATI/Intel graphics you'll need to change the Inject keys in EFI>Clover>config.plist to "false" for nVidia and "true" for what you use. I think my problems stem from the DSDT section of this same config.plist or from the actual DSDT within EFI>Clover>ACPI>patched>DSDT.dsl. The added Z77-DS3H folder just has different config.plist's I've tried along the way. Now I just need a few things from the community. I need a solution for WiFi via normal PCI or USB, preferably OOB, most likely not, please advise if you come across a definite solution. I also need a solution to my above mentioned errors. Attached Files CloverZ77DS3H.zip 3.08MB 0 downloads EDIT:So, I installed Enoch instead of Clover and:sleep can now be woken by USB (previously would only wake from power button)Firewire doesn't report error UNTIL after sleep, then same "FireWire GUID 0000000000000000 is invalid!" console every 10secNo longer seeing PM plugin-container[952]: AVF error: AVF_VirtualAcceleratorCreate: fail to create QT accelerator So I'm led to believe that I screwed up the DSDT part of Clover. I'd really like to make this thing completely Mac'cy and able to do major updates without rehaxin, so if anyone could look at my Clover arrangement and tell me what to change I'd be super appreciative. I installed Enoch with nothing but the above mentioned MuiltiB kexts and a tweaked SMBios to add a serial number to my machine. No DSDT. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293726-gigabyte-z77-ds3h-clover/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazilato Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If you managed to get rid of that problem: AVF error: AVF_VirtualAcceleratorCreate: fail to create QT accelerator I'm your man. It has been 3 months since I started to fix this problem in vain ...

Hackmodford Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm curious, since you're using enoch and no longer receive the QT Accelerator error, can you play DRM movies in iTunes?

ardoreal Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Sadly I also saw this, looked into it, and was let down. When I attempt to run an iTunes DRM video I still get the ol "AVF error: AVF_VirtualAcceleratorCreate: fail to create QT accelerator" error in the log. When I run VDADecoder Checker I don't get the error, tried Enoch as well.

Hackmodford Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 OK, I just don't understand why this isn't that big of a deal to anyone. If a Hackintosh can't play movies from iTunes I don't feel like it is a viable alternative to a real Mac Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293726-gigabyte-z77-ds3h-clover/#findComment-2031167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardoreal Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 OK, I just don't understand why this isn't that big of a deal to anyone. If a Hackintosh can't play movies from iTunes I don't feel like it is a viable alternative to a real Mac I agree, on Windows it works, so I end up spending most of my time in Windows. It completely undermines, for me at least, having a Hackintosh. I may as well run Linux. Without the iTunes tie-in I'm driven back to Windows or to a real Mac. I've seen your posts in other areas too, not a single developer has acknowledged this problem nor has any of the major devs even indicated looking into it. I've considered starting a bounty, but, one of the problems I think is that so many people just haven't jumped to a Haswell CPU yet so many people are content. This problem will expand as people change CPU's, so, I'm just as surprised as you are.
