HELP TOPIC - [AMD] OS X El Capitan (10.11)

[spakk]

Will do. Right after i test it with the extra folder on the installer this time

Ok i tested it with what i had before and i can say something was definitely not right about the installer i had before because it hangs at the same thing but there is something vastly different now.

change this system.kext against the original, in to S / L / E

and then use another USB Slot

System.kext.zip

I faced that exact same issue not that long ago, Seemed to be an issue with the 10.11.3/4 installer. Reverted to the 10.11 BaseSystem and it worked just fine.

 

@duduobicho That is because the FX kernels are in testing.

@Shaneee Maybe it's a AMD issue? Used a 10.11.4 installer on my intel...

 

@duduobicho, check that you are getting CI/QE, you should with an nVidia card however. Also tried booting with nv_disable=0/1 and the nVidia drivers for mac?

[Shaneee]

Maybe it's a AMD issue? Used a 10.11.4 installer on my intel...

 

Yeah it's definitely an AMD issue. I will look into the issue more later on when I get time.

[spakk]

I'm trying test, but all kernels give me so much freeze UI some help ?

Describe the problem in detail, possible with pictures if possible, otherwise upload your completel Extra folder here.

[Shaneee]

Um wat

 

Use npci=0x3000

[CherryCream1]

Use npci=0x3000

i am....

[Duran Keeley]

Use npci=0x3000

If he is using spakk's it should be set at 0x3000 already, maybe try 0x2000

im gonna try nv_disable=1 instead of nv_drive=1

[spakk]

sory, my mistake, please use nv_disable=1

[CherryCream1]

sory, my mistake, please use nv_disable=1

I think you typed something wrong because for some reason it wont load any commands other than the ones like Graphics Enabler ect. But when i typed the commands manually into enoch it still hanged but now no longer says "cant get kextd port."

[Duran Keeley]

im gonna try nv_disable=1 instead of nv_drive=1

Also try booting with PCIRootUID=1 UseKernelCache=No

 

As of El Capitan The following boot flags don't work anymore I think:

kext-dev-mode=1 -f

PCI Configuration is just before the graphics load, so try remove GraphicsEnable flag or set it as yes

[CherryCream1]

nvm you just put -v before -f which made me think you messed it up

Also try booting with PCIRootUID=1 UseKernelCache=No

As of El Capitan The following boot flags don't work anymore I think:

kext-dev-mode=1 -f

-f definitely works. I learned about it a while ago. It stops all commands in front of it so you dont have to edit the .plist every single time.

Not true, -f means no cache

For your reference: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/311532-kaslr-in-no-caches-boot/

 

-F

If you've entered some extra boot flags into org.Chameleon.boot.plist, but they're messing up your Hackintosh's bootloader, enter the -F boot flag to ignore them.

 

Notice the case sensitive commands.

oh. Then whats the point of -f if using UseKernelCache=No?

Anyway this is whats happening. Still hanging while ending with the same thing but now is very different.

[Duran Keeley]

-f was more of a command used in Snow Leopard days, I think it still worked up until Yosemite. It might even work on El Capitan depending on how the bootloader & kernel are configured to handle it.

 

UseKernelCache=No is equivalent to using the "-f".

It feels like im moving at a running pace but going no where =3=

How long are you letting it load before restarting? It can take a while sometimes for the things to load.

 

Also while you are at it, try repair the permissions using the following: (of course edit the path for your USB path to /E & /S/L/E)

sudo chown -R 0:0 /Extra

sudo chmod -R 755 /Extra

sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions

And are you manually creating the setup?

Well its not exactly still loading when it says "exited with abnormal code:" and what do you mean by manually creating the setup ?

Yeah, just did some search on that, I thought it would only be the time service exiting for not being online or something but it's not.

 

Try this version of the FakeSMC (way older version), and remove nv_disable=1

 

FYI: Manual create installer tutorial here - Follow the Yosemite instructions

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners-updated-for-yosemite/

 

Of course use Enoch r2795 instead of chameleon and don't worry about serials & dsdt yet.

Alright. Ill get back to you after i test it

ye i waited a little bit like you asked and dis happened.

[Duran Keeley]

Also try different USB ports as well...

 

Let me know if each port hangs in that same place.

[CherryCream1]

Well i only have so many usb ports that arent usb 3.0....

 

 

tried every port. All stopped at the hfs: verylowdisk

[Duran Keeley]

Try booting with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and without nv_disable=1

 

Edit: What bootloader are you using?

[Duran Keeley]

Just tried El Capitan on a spare laptop I had and I came across the same problem, so I fixed mine... Hopefully this sorts yours out

 

The new version of Enoch (r2795) doesn't accept

<string>CsrActiveConfig</string>
<key>103</key>

In org.chameleon.plist

 

I noticed when booting it was still setting SIP as 1 instead of 67

 

BUT if you manually type it "CsrActiveConfig=103" it works, I tried pasting CsrActiveConfig=103 in the Kernel Flag section but still was set at 1.

PS: Also do not use my old FakeSMC (v4) and use a newer version like here: FakeSMC.kext.zip
