Sierra Fail with Asus Z9PE-D8 WS + XEON E5-2860v2 + GTX770

Hey folks, 

 

i got a stable hack with 10.9.3 (Mavericks) and need an immediate update to 10.12. because my Adobe apps wont work with 10.9. anymore. No i really tried everything what i know, to get this thing updated. Nothing really worked, i cant get through to the install. 

 

My System: 

 

• ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS (dual xeon platform - only one cpu used)

• Xeon E5-2680v2 10x2,8Ghz

• 32 GB 1600mhz DDR3 

• GTX770 4GB

 

 

Now i bought a new 500GB SSD to install Sierra 10.12.6 and tried the following: 

 

• Formatted 8GB USB -> GUID Mac journaled 

• Downloaded OSX from the Appstore (on my Macbookpro) 

• Installed OSX with terminal: sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app

• After installed OSX on the USB Stick, i open Clover -> for EFI and choose two drivers from drivers64efi (screenshot) 

• Then edited the config.plist one the EFI/CLOVER 

• Added fakesmc (newest version) into EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12 

• BIOS settings modified (VT-D disabled, etc. like in my working Mavericks hack) 

• Booted the stick -> -v 

 

Stuck at: PCI Configuration begin (Screenshot) 

I added my old smbios.plist from my mavericks system, maybe you need this? 

 

Please can u help me get this to work? 

 

Thx in advance, 

fabu

I'm on a different machine at the moment, but my Z9PE is running well at 10.12.5. This board is very picky about PCI locations, try to plug your GPU in slot 5 and make sure to add the "npci=0x2000" or "npci=0x3000" boot argument to Clover.

On slot 5 i dint get any picture... i got my GFX card in Lane 3 normally (working with 10.9.) Slot 4 got a picture. Do i need to check all slots and try to get to the installer? 

 

I booted with: 

 

-v npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1    (fail) 

-v npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1     (fail) 

-v acpi=off npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1    (fail) 

 

-v npci=0x3000 (fail) 

-v npci=0x2000 (fail) 

 

-v nvda_drv=1 (fail) 

-v nvda_drv=1 dart=0 npci=0x2000 (fail)

Ok itried to patch clover with the "AppleImtelCPUPowermanagemement". Doesnt work. Maybe is easier to get another board & CPU. Any recommendations for a system that is easy to unstall with sierra at the moment ? I need a lot of power because i am editing 4k - 6k video footage (Adobe Suite)

Budget is not a problem, thats work :) Sounds good - my old hack then is on Mavericks and i build a new one: 

 

 

Asus X99-DELUXE II Intel X99 So.2011-3 Quad Channel DDR4 ATX Retail

Xeon E5-2696v4 

Nvidia 1080 GTX 

 

 

Is his working out of the box or do i have to pay attention to Bios Revision and other things? GFX card 1080 : are all working or is there a limit?
