Cyberdevs Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 No try with the X3000 first I don't think there's much difference between the Sierra version of the AMD7000Controller.kext and the High Sierra version 13 minutes ago, theprovost said: X3000? Not 7000? Ok I can try that tonight and see.

theprovost Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) It didn't work. I got some errors basically saying: Can't load kext com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonx4000 - Link failed Edited July 20, 2018 by theprovost Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334770-hs-installation-problem-with-x58-radeon-7770/page/2/#findComment-2626592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 In that case try replacing the AMDRadeonX4000.kext and AMDRadeonX4000GLDriver.kext instead. Send me a link to your GPU and I'll check for it's device ID Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334770-hs-installation-problem-with-x58-radeon-7770/page/2/#findComment-2626635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprovost Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Any idea where I can get those kext? I got the others from a thread here but I can't find those. Should I put the other ones I replaced back to their HS versions or leave them as the Sierra versions? my Card is a 7770 without markings on it. I think it's an i-cooler edition or something like that. The id should be 0x683D1002 Edited July 20, 2018 by theprovost Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334770-hs-installation-problem-with-x58-radeon-7770/page/2/#findComment-2626648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprovost Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Let me ask a dumb question. When I've been testing this I've been using my clover boot key because I don't want to change the plist on the system itself because that works with my Nvidia card and my key has all the Radeon boot arguments. As long as I then select 'boot from Mac Hd' on the clover boot menu this is ok right?

There are no dumb questions, there are only dumb answers If you want to test clover's setting which are on the USB disk you need to boot the system from that USB disk as well, otherwise it will load the settings form the clover that it's installed on your HDD. So for the tests always boot from the USB disk and leave the settings on the clover which is stored on the HDD untouched.

theprovost Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Sorry no luck. Here's what I'm doing, maybe I'm doing something wrong? Boot arguments: nv_disable=1, radpg=15, -lilubetaall, -nehalem_error_disable, dart=0 Kext: Lilu, WhateverGreen I'm booting from my High Sierra boot/install key which has these kext in the EFI/Other directory and once I'm at the clover screen I've been booting from my HD with High Sierra on it. I've also installed all the kext you've sent with kext Wizard. Do you want to see my plist file maybe?

theprovost Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Didn't work. The boot up was different though, at the end there was a bunch of wait statements: kextd stall(0), 60s: AppleACPIPPlatformExpert After three of these it eventually continued but I still get the black screen. There was one other new thing I saw: Failed to load Kext org.netkas.driver.FakeSMC I'm not sure if that is the cause of my issue or just a harmless error.

theprovost Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Ok that fixed the kext error and the weird wait states, but I still get a black screen.

Cyberdevs Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Yes you can try it but as I mentioned before here you can use InjectATI=true and RadeonDeInit but you must remove WhateverGreen.kext if you are going to use these flags. InjectATI=True and WhateverGreen.kext can't operate together at the same time. 18 minutes ago, theprovost said: Would inject ati or radeondeinit help?

theprovost Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Ati inject just makes me lose the signal. But that might have been due to whatevergreen, but I suspect I'd get the same result. what on earth could be wrong? I can hear the hard drive loading, but the screen is black even though it's getting a signal. It makes no sense to me, especially given that Macs are supposed to use Radeon cards now.

Since Sierra many things has changed and the black screen issue happened on most of AMD GPUs and the same thing happened on High Sierra as well and with macOS 10.13.4 and later versions thing got back to normal when Apple introduced eGPU support in High Sierra. I don't know what causes the issue on your part.

theprovost Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yes I used the 7770 with El Capitan and the Verde.kext. I'm currently running 10.13.6 so the eGPU thing can't be the issue. I guess I'll have to try and find a different GPU then.
