Hi,
A couple of months ago I built a hackintosh for a friend. Here are the details:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-B150M-D3H
  • Processor: Intel - Core i7-6700K
  • Graphics card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 960

I managed to get everything up and running with clover, until he performed some updates a couple of days ago and broke the install somehow.
After the update, the bar under the apple logo got stuck at around 90%, verbose log showed:

busy timeout[0], (240s), kextd wait(0): "AppleACPICPU"

I thought it could be CPU related and wanted to make sure that vt-d was disabled, but somehow I was unable to change it, so I updated the BIOS to f24b and then changed vt-d to disabled. Unfortunately, I do not even get to the bar now, and only get to the following output with -v

OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi
Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and after a couple of seconds the computer reboots.
I then tried updating clover (using my own hackintosh install), using OsxAptioFixDrv, copying HFSplus.efi from my own machine but nothing helped. Does anybody have an idea what could have gotten wrong?
My best guess would be that the bios update changed all settings back to the default values, but I tried changing a lot of them to no avail.

 

This is my bios config:

  • BIOS
    • Bootup NumLock State On
    • Security Option System
    • Full Screen LOGO Show Enabled
    • Fast Boot Disabled
    • Windows 8/10 Features Other OS
    • LAN PXE Boot Option ROM Disabled
    • Storage Boot Option Control UEFI
    • Other PCI devices UEFI
  • Peripherals
    • Initial Display Output PCIe 1 Slot
    • Above 4G Decoding Disabled
    • Ambient LED Off
    • Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) Disabled
    • OffBoard SATA Controller Configuration
      • No PCIe SATA Controllers / PCIe SSDs are Present
    • Trusted Computing
      • Security Device Support Enable
      • NO Security Device Found
    • Super IO Configuration
      • Serial Port Disabled
      • Parallel Port Enabled
    • Intel® Bios Guard Technology
      • Intel Bios Guard Support Disabled
    • Network Stack configuartion
      • Network Stack Disabled
    • NVMe Configuration
      • No NVME Device Found
    • USB Configuration
      • Legacy USB Support Enabled
      • XHCI Hand-off Enabled
      • USB Mass Storage Driver Support Enabled
      • Port 60/64 Emulation Enabled
    • SATA And RST Configuration
      • SATA Controller(s) Enabled
      • SATA Mode Selection AHCI
      • Aggressive LPM Support Enabled
  • Chipset
    • VT-d Disabled
    • Internal Graphics Auto
    • Audio Controller Enabled
    • PcH Lan Controller Enabled
    • Wake on LAN Enabled Disabled
    • High Precision Timer Enabled
    • IOAPIC 24-119 Entries Enabled

Another guess was that the NVidia web drivers may not be compatible with the update and tried booting with the internal graphics to update them, but it was not successful either.

 

I am fiddling with the BIOS for a very long time now and cannot get it to boot, I am desperate and cannot fix it. Any ideas are very very appreciated.

Thank you!

From what I see you need to add KernelPm under the Kernel and Kext Patches.

also disable these in BIOS"

 

  • Internal Graphics Auto
  • Parallel Port Enabled
  • IOAPIC 24-119 Entries Enabled

Update:

You can also use OsxAptioFixDrv instead of OsxAptioFixDrv2 it performs better on the latest clover revisions on many platforms.

https://we.tl/Egnkyrp81r here is the clover folder

 

Replace the EFI folder on your USB disk with this one. You can make a backup of yours first if you want.

 

The clover version is r4176

 

Let me know how it works.

YES! I now get to the login screen!

The graphics card does not work though...

That's great.

 

For the graphics to work you need to install nvidia web driver and all the settings are already set in the config.plist I sent you. What is the version of the macOS? 10.12.6?

The web driver is installed (this system was working fine a couple of days ago), but I cannot enable it. In the NVIDIA Driver Manager the NVIDIA Web Driver is grayed out.

You said that your friend updated the macOS so after each major update you need to install the related nvidia web driver too.

I figured as much and updated the driver now. Unfortunately I am now stuck at a black screen after the boot log. Does this take a while after updating?

If you have a black screen that's normal for nvidia GPUs. Although I added a patch which seems that it's not working but you can avoid the black screen by adding this kext (nVidiaGraphicsFixup.kext) file in the /EFI/Clover/kext/10.12 or /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other

...and you are right again! The screen is back!

Graphics, Networking and Sound is working, I think I got everything back up!

Thank you very very much for your kind and fast assistance!

My pleasure :)

HELP!! i tried all this and it still isn't booting 

Welcome to InsanelyMac.com

 

Please update your signature with your hardware specs so people can help you easier.

 

Send me your EFI folder. Remove "Apple" folder from the EFI folder, we don't need it.
