silentkiller82 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello all, I'm trying to install Sierra on two x99 motherboards. Its not my first time installing clover. i have an asus sabertooth with an i7 5930K processor, and an asus x99-E WS with an i7 6900K. And this whole installation thing is getting me crazy. Im stuck at this error at the pre install phase:OsxAptopFix2DRV: Starting overrides for \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efiusing reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++it stays there. ive tried every fix i can find online, test-2.efi and all similar fixes. I tried all possible bios configurations even disabling everything to the strict minimum.ive tried including all possible texts in my clover usbi even tried booting from an internal sata drive instead of usb.ive tried preparing my USB with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and or using the clover regular way.ive even tried installing the OS on a regular macbook, then installing clover on it, adding whats needed in kext and .efi, still nothing. still stuck at the same place.Any idea what could be the problem?im really going crazy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/321407-x99-sierra-installation-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what could be the problem? im really going crazy Try OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi.zip (this modified version has a higher cache than Clover's) or OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi Also, you can find plenty of information about x99 systems: here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/321407-x99-sierra-installation-problem/#findComment-2371860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentkiller82 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 ok I have some updates. I followed this guide exactly https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/giacomoleopardos-workstation-triplet.199643/ but I'm using Sierra instead of El Capitan. I managed to pass where I'm stuck. I'm reaching this now: [PCI configuration begin] com.apple.appleFSCompressionTypeZllb mod start then the computer restarts automatically. Any idea could it be? any help would be much appreciated.

okrasit Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Well, do you have msr 0xe2 lock bit set? That could cause such a behaviour.

silentkiller82 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Well, do you have msr 0xe2 lock bit set? That could cause such a behaviour. Doesn't the PM patch in clover takes care of this? I already enabled it. but I'm not sure if my board is locked or not.

silentkiller82 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 need npci=0x2000 u use it? actually I recreated my USB from scratch, too many changes done lately, so I was afraid of it being messed up. I use npci=0x3000, I tried npci=0x2000. same result. now its getting to this screen and restarts: [PCI configuration begin] mblnlt: done [128 MB total pool size, (85/42) split] im using: -v nv_disable=1 darkwake=0 npci=0x3000 (or 0x2000) now I'm testing on an Asus sabertooth x99 with an i7 6800K and a gtx 960.

I use npci=0x3000, I tried npci=0x2000. same result. now its getting to this screen and restarts: [PCI configuration begin] mblnlt: done [128 MB total pool size, (85/42) split] im using: -v nv_disable=1 darkwake=0 npci=0x3000 (or 0x2000) now I'm testing on an Asus sabertooth x99 with an i7 6800K and a gtx 960. I'm also stuck on [ PCI Configuration Begin ]. I have not found the solution yet unfortunately. I have tried all sorts of bootflags: -v, -x, dart=0, cpus=1, npci=0x2000, npci=0x3000, -xcpm, slide=0, kext-dev-mode=1, debug=0x100, nv_disable=1, rootless=0, debug=0x14e, PCIRootUID=0, PCIRootUID=1, maxmem=4096, maxmem=6144, usekernalcache=no, IGPEnabler=no, USBBusFix=Yes, and quite possibly a couple others that I am forgetting. From some random posts I read, it seems like it could either be a USB kext issues or possibly something to do with FakeSMC kexts (something with plugins being enabled for FakeSMC?). Not sure how to modify those or what to do. My x99 system is: X99A MSI Gaming Pro Carbon, i7 6950x, 980 Ti in case anyone is wondering Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/321407-x99-sierra-installation-problem/#findComment-2375463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafamundez Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Update: After patching the IOPCIFamily.kext, it makes it to: " RTC: Only single RAM bank (128 b " before hanging for a second then rebooting.

Any ideas what to do from here on out? Screenshot below. Screen Shot 2017-03-01 at 8.55.41 PM.png I'm assuming you're using a Gigabyte board? If so, add AppleRTC patch in config.plist "KernelAndKextsToPatch" (it'll be right above the "KextsToPatch" column, just use the AppleRTC's checkbox) Also, I JUST switched to a 6950x and the only way I could get it to work (get past the PCI Configuration) was to use USBInjectAll.kext + X99-XHCI-Injector.kext. I also placed my installer usb into a 2.0 port. I had problems when I tried to use a 3.0 port (could be Clover issue).

I have an MSI X99A Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard but I do have the AppleRTC box checked so unfortunately that won't help, I will try it unchecked as well too. I will try the USBInjectAll.kext and the X99-XHCI-Injector.kext and I can report back tonight. But yeah, I've been using a USB 2.0 port almost always:) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/321407-x99-sierra-installation-problem/#findComment-2376734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
