madmodmike Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hello I'm writing here because I'm extremely in trouble with those two, they apparently don't seem to like each other, and I'm pretty sure it's not an OSX related problem, but let me explain in details: Last year, I built successfully an hackintosh, ~99% vanilla, on my Asus P5Q-E with a GeForce 560Ti and Mountain Lion, I began with 10.8.0, upgraded through 10.8.4 with almost no issues at all (just had to replace every time the AppleHDA kext with the one patched by ErmaC for the ADI 2000B, and the sleep was totally unreliable, even on Windows though). The bootloader I used was Chameleon, but after a while, I decided to move over and switch to Clover, for a series of reasons (easier fixes for iMessage/Facetime, PatchVBiosBytes for native display resolution during the boot, etc). The switch wasn't totally painless, I had to rewrite the config.plist from scratch, but after a few hours, I had again my hackintosh up and running flawlessly, on Clover 2k r1745 (I do still remember the versions, because each and every time I upgraded clover, I made a tarball of the EFI folder with all the stuffs inside). Now, the problems started when I decided to upgrade Clover from r1745 to r1858. After upgrading to the new version, my GeForce refused to show anything after the boot logo, just switching the display off with no video output at all. I thought it was some kind of misconfiguration, I tried to look around for fixes with no avail, unless I switched back to Clover r1745 and it worked again. I stopped caring about my Hackintosh because after a while I got myself a brand new Macbook Pro, so It was pretty natural for me to move over to the MBP. Just a few days ago, I've got an old 775 motherboard (G31/ICH7 and an X3100 integrated GPU), I had a spare Q6600 CPU around, so I thought well, let's try to make an hackintosh again. Took a brand new USB flash drive, downloaded from my MBP the latest Mavericks .app from the store (10.9.4), made two partitions on the USB flashdrive, on the smallest one I installed the latest Clover, on the other one, the Mavericks .app (using the createinstallmedia command from the command line). Dropped the latest FakeSMC 3 (build 748) and NullCPUPowerManagement, and replaced the config.plist with a bare minimum one: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>ACPI</key> <dict> <key>DSDT</key> <dict> <key>Debug</key> <false/> <key>DropOEM_DSM</key> <false/> <key>Fixes</key> <dict> <key>AddDTGP_0001</key> <false/> <key>AddHDMI_8000000</key> <false/> <key>AddIMEI_80000</key> <false/> <key>AddMCHC_0008</key> <false/> <key>AddPNLF_1000000</key> <false/> <key>DeleteUnused_400000</key> <false/> <key>FIX_ACST_4000000</key> <false/> <key>FIX_ADP1_800000</key> <false/> <key>FIX_INTELGFX_100000</key> <false/> <key>FIX_RTC_20000</key> <false/> <key>FIX_S3D_2000000</key> <false/> <key>FakeLPC_0020</key> <false/> <key>FiX_TMR_40000</key> <false/> <key>FiX_WAK_200000</key> <false/> <key>FixAirport_4000</key> <false/> <key>FixDarwin_0002</key> <false/> <key>FixDisplay_0100</key> <false/> <key>FixFirewire_0800</key> <false/> <key>FixHDA_8000</key> <false/> <key>FixHPET_0010</key> <false/> <key>FixIDE_0200</key> <false/> <key>FixIPIC_0040</key> <false/> <key>FixLAN_2000</key> <false/> <key>FixRegions_10000000</key> <false/> <key>FixSATA_0400</key> <false/> <key>FixSBUS_0080</key> <false/> <key>FixShutdown_0004</key> <false/> <key>FixUSB_1000</key> <false/> <key>NewWay_80000000</key> <false/> </dict> <key>Name</key> <string>DSDT.aml</string> <key>ReuseFFFF</key> <false/> </dict> <key>HaltEnabler</key> <false/> <key>SSDT</key> <dict> <key>DropOem</key> <false/> <key>Generate</key> <dict> <key>CStates</key> <false/> <key>PStates</key> <false/> </dict> </dict> </dict> <key>Boot</key> <dict> <key>Arguments</key> <string>-v dart=0</string> <key>DefaultVolume</key> <string>MacHDD</string> <key>Legacy</key> <string>PBR</string> <key>Log</key> <true/> <key>Secure</key> <false/> <key>Timeout</key> <integer>10</integer> <key>XMPDetection</key> <string>NO</string> </dict> <key>Devices</key> <dict> <key>Audio</key> <dict> <key>Inject</key> <string>1</string> </dict> <key>FakeID</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key> <string>0x0</string> <key>IMEI</key> <string>0x0</string> <key>IntelGFX</key> <string>0x0</string> <key>LAN</key> <string>0x0</string> <key>NVidia</key> <string>0x0</string> <key>SATA</key> <string>0x0</string> <key>WIFI</key> <string>0x0</string> <key>XHCI</key> <string>0x0</string> </dict> <key>USB</key> <dict> <key>FixOwnership</key> <false/> <key>Inject</key> <false/> </dict> <key>UseIntelHDMI</key> <false/> </dict> <key>DisableDrivers</key> <array> <string>Nothing</string> </array> <key>GUI</key> <dict> <key>Hide</key> <array> <string>Windows</string> <string>\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI</string> </array> <key>Language</key> <string>en:0</string> <key>Mouse</key> <dict> <key>Enabled</key> <true/> <key>Speed</key> <integer>8</integer> </dict> <key>Scan</key> <dict> <key>Entries</key> <true/> <key>Legacy</key> <string>First</string> <key>Tool</key> <true/> </dict> <key>Theme</key> <string></string> </dict> <key>Graphics</key> <dict> <key>Inject</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key> <false/> <key>Intel</key> <true/> <key>NVidia</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> <key>KernelAndKextPatches</key> <dict> <key>AppleRTC</key> <true/> <key>AsusAICPUPM</key> <true/> <key>KernelPm</key> <true/> <key>KextsToPatch</key> <array> <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>External icons patch</string> <key>Find</key> <data> RXh0ZXJuYWw= </data> <key>Name</key> <string>AppleAHCIPort</string> <key>Replace</key> <data> SW50ZXJuYWw= </data> </dict> </array> </dict> <key>RtVariables</key> <dict> <key>LogEveryBoot</key> <string>10</string> <key>LogLineCount</key> <integer>3000</integer> <key>MountEFI</key> <string>Yes</string> </dict> <key>SMBIOS</key> <dict> <key>Trust</key> <false/> </dict> <key>SystemParameters</key> <dict> <key>InjectKexts</key> <string>Detect</string> <key>InjectSystemID</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> </plist> I set the Graphics-> Inject for Intel and nVidia both on true, just to see if my old desktop would be able to boot the installer as well. Then I booted the flash drive on this "new" hardware (generic ASRock motherboard on G31, Q6600, onboard Intel X3100 GPU): success at the first try, and I got the OSX Utilities screen. Next I just thought "oh well, let's try again on my old PC". Nope. Still the same issue as the last year: the boot goes on with no issues, and then when the GUI should start, I just get a blank screen with no video out (and the monitor goes itself in standby) I tried with every bootarg I know (npci=0x2000, -v, -x, PCIRootUID=0 and =1, even though it should be =0 by default on clover). It boots without halting and then I get just the black screen with no signal, exactly like I experienced the last year after the unlucky upgrade. Now after this huge WOT, I'm here to ask you gurus: what causes this strange behaviour? Should I give up and go back to Chameleon? I'm honestly clueless.
