frankiee Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well ... that abomination of OS update now killed my recovery partition as well .... black screen, thank you Apple! I could puke now .... what to do? Is it the same plist problem, and does anyone know how to recreate the Recovery HD? Seems I have to recreate everything, including caches, but I never did that for the recovery HD. And I really wonder if the nMP 6,1 system definifion is still the best way to go for X79 systems - what do you think? All in all this update is nothing but problems for me. If it weren't for the security updates it might have been better not to update at all. Ah and since the recoveryHD seems to be built up similar to an installer stick, this could mean that installer sticks will result in black screen, too. Yeah! Update: I can confirm that with using 3,1 system definition, recovery HD boots up again, but I still have no clue how to modifiy it. But with all this {censored}load of problems, wouldn't it be better to use the MacPro 3,1 (or 5,1) SMBIOS anyway? Are there any advantages (for X79 systems) to use a 6,1 SMBIOS?

shazeal Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 btw Shazeal, uptime of one day is actually nothing With 10.9.5 I got uptimes of up to three weeks, before needing to boot due to a software update. well it was 1 day 22 hours... update has only been out 3 days... 09:44am up 3 days 0:45, 6 users, load average: 0.64, 0.82, 0.90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankiee Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yeah I know, so lets talk again in some weeks I mean it's difficult to assess overall OS stability in just some days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.H Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 well it was 1 day 22 hours... update has only been out 3 days... 09:44am up 3 days 0:45, 6 users, load average: 0.64, 0.82, 0.90 To be honest, I was surprised to see 6 users.

mitch_de Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 All works good on my system. BESIDE the new Photos app Complete system Freezes after some time ( using the edit functions in the Photos app for a while)! As i look in the console (after reboot) i can see the "Nvidia Channeltime out" is back ! In the past sometime this bad things happens with some GPUs (remember some 10.8/10.9 versions) but for me first happening in 10.x. Mon Apr 13 00:56:48 2015 Event: GPU Reset Data/Time: Mon Apr 13 00:56:48 2015 Application: Path: OS Version: Mac OS X Version 10.10.3 (Build 14D131) Graphics Hardware: Asus GeForce GT 440 Signature: 0 Report Data: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel timeout! Channel Info: [19, 0xe, 0xe, 0x220] Version Info: [com.nvidia.web.GeForceWeb, 10.0.3, 0x746c6943485b52176d5f58, 19437306, 346.01.02f01, 1] Internal Version Info: [1, Release, Private build] Execution Info: [0xffffff800092a4e0, 0xffffff8000929a70] I will try using Apple NV drivers but i have less hope that this will fix the problem (As Preview App also , since 10.x has some probs, but others not the freezing prob) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Black screen on my GTX 670, recovered using clean install of 10.10.3 (use combo update to target drive) with an edit to AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext (thanks @ joe75). Audio_ALC1150 Patched, thats about it. Seems all good now. Didn't want to spend too much time tinkering considering how easy and fast it is to do a clean install with "NEW WAY TO INSTALL OS X YOSEMITE V2 -" already had 10.10.2 cloned using CCC.

LoBlanc Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi community, I get a black screen on 10.0.3 Upgrade from local downloaded file on my Asus N76VZ (Intel Core i7, RealTek ALC663, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M) booting on Clover 3193. After that it restarts so quickly over and over again that I don't even have the time to read which kext would be to blame when booting in verbose mode. When booting in secure mode (-x) it does well. So it might be a kext in a new version, I guess. But which one(s)? 10.10.2 worked nearly perfectly. Any suggestions to encircle the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 What is your Intel HD model? You use IntelFramebuffer kext patched? If yes, update your kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoBlanc Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi, Thanks for the quick response. HD Graphics is Intel HD Graphics 4000. About IntelFramebuffer kext I can't tell for sure. I'll check but I suppose pretty much so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ok. Try insert the right value for you video using ig-platform-id. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoBlanc Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes. But if so. It should work too if I take the HD4000 kexts from 10.10.2 and install under 10.10.3 ?! Since they were working prior the upgrade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I would not recommend it. Always use latest kexts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoBlanc Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi, First, thanks for your assistance. I managed to boot without -x. After I installed the old (from 10.10.2) AppleintelHD4000. The picture flick and twinkle now and then. But it shows the issue is HD4000 related ?!. Do you think so too? What do you recommend? I`ve yet to check if the ig-platform-id was changed in the new AppleintelHD4000. But it seems unlikely to me. what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Try fresh install. And continue to test some differences ig-platform-id values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoBlanc Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Update: No luck with other ig-platform-id values. Meanwhile I did a brand new installation. Marked the kexts in sys/lib/ext all blue to tell if 10.10.3 installs any new kexts when performing the update. And indeed there are a couple o new non-existent before update. I will take a closer look. Thanks again for your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Just tag a kext with a color not will help you to know if it was updated or not.. Take a look in the version of the .kext - How? Select the kext and press Cmd+I, and take a look in version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoBlanc Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi, it looks like solutions are mostly simple if you go checking first first things. I just changed the device model from MacBookPro 9 to 10.1 and generated automatically a new config.plist. Voila! Of course I have to hide again all the partitions I do not want to appear at boot time. But this is peanuts... I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
