bchiu Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 :blush:Hi All, I am new to Hackintosh. But I did find my way here. My computer spec is the Dell T3600 server it has Intel Xeon E5-2667 CPU, nVidia Quadro 600, and ALC269 sound card I downloaded an iso and created a bootable usb stick. It loaded with Clover Bootloader 2953. However, i didn't able to install without Safe mode, it will give me the follow ................Error alocating 0x800 pages at 0x000000000014e000000 alloc type 2 Error Loading kernel cache (0x9) Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before exiting... So I installed Yosemite using safe mode. The install went through without problem. However, when I try to boot the system, it said it doesn't have a bootloader. So I plugged back in the bootable usb stick for the Clover bootloader and tried to boot into Yosemite. It gives me above error again if I don't use safe mode. So I booted with safe mode again. It stayed at the black screen with a mouse cursor for around 20 mins, Then it goes to the login screen. I type in the password, and have to wait for another 3 mins before it moves again. Then the screen refresh very slowly and finally got into the system. Once I got into the system, it works with normal speed, but the network card and sound card doesn't work. I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to install the drivers. The network works immediately, but sound doesn't. I notice the graphics is snugglish sometimes with artifacts so I downloaded and installed the official Yosemite driver from nVidia (but I dont' know if it has nVidia Quadro 600 driver) However that didn't help the graphics, I believe the driver for the graphics wasn't loaded. Is it because I boot with safe mode that why the sound driver and video card driver weren't loaded? Thanks, bchiu BTW, I installed Yosemite on an external usb hd. I am not sure if that is related to the problem. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304186-couldnt-boot-without-safe-mode/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes, the graphics kexts definitely won't load in safe mode, and probably not the sound or network drivers either. Try AptioFixDrv2 for Clover instead of the original. Are you booting in UEFI mode or legacy? If you're doing UEFI boot try legacy also.

Sorry about this I am a PC guy. It's an UEFI driver used by Clover, included in the Drivers64UEFI section of the installer. Make sure you have one of the AptioFixDrv drivers in /EFI/CLOVER/Drivers64UEFI and remove OsxLowMemFixDrv if present, it may cause that issue in some motherboards. In Mountain Lion adding slide=0 to the boot arguments used to fix this, but I don't know if that works for Yosemite. You can try anyway.

bchiu Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I looked into that folder and I saw OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi but I couldn't find AptioFixDrv2 so I did a search on google but couldn't find where I can download that file from. OsxLowMemFixDrv is not present. Any help is appreciated.

bchiu Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I tried booting it as UEFI. But got problems. I can see in my USB stick that in the EFI/BOOT/ there's a file called BOOTX64.efi. In the \CLOVER\ there's the CLOVERX64.efi. But when I got into the BIOS boot setting. The Boot directory is empty. The USB is formatted as FAT32.

Maniac10 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 AptioFixDrv2 is included in Clover's installer, try it please. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304186-couldnt-boot-without-safe-mode/#findComment-2107687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bchiu Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks everyone. I somehow turn off the S4 and S5 power management from the BIOS, disable the CPU stepspeed, disable the VT virtualization stuff, took out the Dell RAID card and I got it booted up without problem. I then replaced by the RAID card and turn back on the S4 and S4 power management from the BIOS. It still works. But sometimes I get a kernel panic, but then if I go into safe mode and restart, the next time boot up will be fine. Now the problem is that I was booting from Chimera, I accidently chosen the boot from "Loader" and the next thing I know is the system never boots up again. Everytime it just gives me boot0:error. So I googled it. I did the 4k repartition thing with the dd if=boot1h op=disk0s1 thing. But no help. When I got into the disk utility I looked at the disk, the partitions are gone (I have 3 partitions), I tried to verify disk and repair disk and mount disk, all failed. I dont' know how to recover it now. TIA!
