Hello fellas,nice good?

 

So, this is my doubt, i have here a Sun Workstation Ultra 40 M2. A very cool old pc to try one hack installation.I had installed in other pc, one Mavericks with everything ok. My Note has a El Cap running nice for me. But this is other thing.

 

Back, i losted a lot time trying boot a installation in this machine, without success. Here i am calling for help.

 

Tried with clover, with args, but nothing happens to start the installation.

 

Specs are:

 

AMD Opteron 2218 (2 Processors)

32 GB RAM DDR2 ECC

2 nVIDIA QUADDRO FX5800 (SLI)

HD 1TB SATA

MotherBoard - nVIDIA nFORCE 3600 Series

 

Its possible, this machine run any OS X?? I tried install a Sierra but i think the specs aren't supported. Am i right?

 

So, this is it!

 

Anticipation thanks e waiting answers! Cya

 

 

Thanks for the replies dudes! I m not a pro Installer OSX. My lastest installs are all in Intel processors. In AMD i never tried this tricks!

 

If you can help me, i will be grateful. So i should try a Yosemite or El Cap?? I never had lucky with Clover Bootloader. I use chameleon and Enoch? How to patch this Kernel for AMD? Sorry for nooby questions...

 

Waiting dudes!!

 

Very thanks!

Huummm... Nice man. How i can prepare a usb with this kernel kexts? I will try Yosemite here. You recommend Clover or Chameleon/Enoch bootloader? Because when i create a usb with clover my install doesnt start... Using Legacy mode, this mobo isnt Uefi mode.

If you've got the Install OS X Yosemite.app use Pandora's Box (It's on the downloads section) and restore the image to USB. Don't use CreateIntsallMedia as it doesn't work for AMD. Install Encoh and use Bronya's kernel from here,  http://amd-osx.com/files/kernel_10.10.5_rc1.zip

 

You'll also need AppleNForceATA for your chipset. I've attached it for you,

Hello Herve, my friend...

 

I stucked here...

 

I tried everything you can think... nv_disable=1... nvda_drv=1... PCIRootUID=1... GraphicsEnabler=Yes and No ... I feel so close to start the install, just this thing boring me... 

 

I dont know more what to do...

 

My Graphic Card is a nVidia Quadro FX 5600 and i use a DVI port. I am not a pro installer but with my knowledge, with GraphicsEnabler=Yes should start installation :( :( :(

 

Just waiting a miracle

Bluetooth controller missing usually means a graphics issue. From what I've read on the internet the Quadro FX 5600 is not fully supported; you may have to get a new GPU.

I deleted all NVIDIA kexts in usb Installer... The installation some times apears and i can install the osx but some freezes ocurrs. But after Install i can add other kexts to enable graphics? I dont care if Yosemite or Sierra doesnt install in my machine. I just want osx running in my machine, whatever version.

 

Cheers! :D

Hell yeah bros! After 2 weeks trying conclude this crep, the install started and all happened fine! I have some troubles in video yet, like the Gray Screen/Mouse Cursor.

 

I tested another VGA (GTX 550) and the same happens. I think, this is something in my bios options, that i dont know what can be.

 

Sometimes, the gray Screen appears and nothing more occurs, only in reset button...

 

Suggestag??

 

Cheers!!
