Magnality Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) I've been happily using macOS Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29) successfully for more than a year (all things working), but now I replaced my old Asus GTX 750 Ti card with a new Zotac GTX 1060 6GB, and it get stuck on boot just before going to the login screen (verbose boot screen attached). I've updated Clover with all its kexts, and reinstalled the Nvidia Web Drivers (using nvidia-update script), but it's still stuck in the same part. I can only enter using nv_disable=1 My current Hackintosh specs: Motherboard MSI H110M Gaming (MS-7994) (LGA 1151/Intel H110/DDR4/SATA 3 & USB 3.1) CPU Intel Core i5-6600 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 65W RAM HyperX FURY 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2133 (PC4-17000) HX421C14FBK2/16 Video Zotac GTX 1060 6GB SSD Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB HDD Western Digital Black 1TB (32MB Cache) (WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B1) I've read that maybe it can be fixed patching the DSDT, but I don't know how to do it. My RunMe.app generated zip file and verbose boot screen are attached. Any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks.

Guest millusions Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 go nv_disable=1 and run update from Preferences/Nvidia. the only other thing is, it's just from experience, you need SIP enabled when installing NVdia because your boot looks ok. NVDA loaded and registered. DSMOS has arrived actually you got some GXXXDriver fails probe. i'd guess that's Nvidia failing to load but updating nvidia on Sierra or HS is just like on a real mac, through system preferences Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2675870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tried installing the drivers with SIP enabled and disabled, but getting the same result. Thanks for the quick reply anyway.

Guest millusions Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 hmmm. dunno. i've done my share of graphics cards testing but kinda skipped Sierra all together.. have recently changed, 980ti to 1070, few days later to a 970 without any issues. HS 10.13.6 the only thing i can see is GraphicsPolicy patch in your clover. i've never used it. i dont think you need it with whatevergreeen. or just hang in there till one of the resident gurus here takes a look, cuz im not one of them he he Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2675879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPCnostalgic Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Stupid question: did you try another connection? e.g. DVI instead of HDMI or DP....... 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2675884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope gurus can take a look at this haha 7 hours ago, PPCnostalgic said: Stupid question: did you try another connection? e.g. DVI instead of HDMI or DP....... I'm using DVI right now, but doesnt seem to be that kind of issue with this one, this is not a black screen issue or something like that, I just cannot pass through "gIOScreenLockState 3", but I can still enter with nv_disable=1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2675920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest millusions Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 yea. thats why i posted my krap, because i went to 1070 from 980ti with no issues.. there was a time where my hack was fooked when i installed nvidia without SIP. but it was a while back and i dont remember much about it, except i turn SIP on always since for Nvidia install.. i did quickly google GXXXDriver fails probe, and it seems to be USB... all i'm saying is that the transition was pretty seamless for me. the only other thing is matching the OS version to Nvidia driver that i would be looking at in this instance, are you sure? i've never used the script you mentioned. but a lot of the time i use MacVid cards nvidia driver page to match OS to version. given the situation i would think that's what it is what does the graphics policy patch do?

The GxxxDriver thing doesn't bother me, I got all USB working fine before and after the card upgrade issue. The Nvidia script I've used its just a lazy way to install the appropiate version for your OS, I've already tried with the default Nvidia installer ( 378.05.05.25f01 for 10.12.6 (16G29) ), but getting the same result. I don't know what Graphics Policy patch do (I didn't install that), but that kext is not even loaded anyway. I'm really giving up with this, I'm resigning myself to just use the integrated graphics, but I don't see myself switching the cable every time I need to enter Windows/Mac, because I use both regularly.

Guest millusions Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 ok. if you're at this point. then carbon copy OSX to something for backup. get Olarila 10.13.6 image it has some cool proggies as well as boots on about anyting (kext updater app is awsome). run all OS updates before installing nvidia. all updates = 17G7024 387.10.10.10.40.128 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2676150 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest millusions Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 hey mate, something else occurred to me, if you put the old 750ti in, this will tell you if system is fk0red or not, if you know what i mean. shouldnt be hassle at all to change nvidia graphics card, ive played with quite a few on hacks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2676439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest millusions Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 wow! thats messed up there's an old thread here : one point is the change SMBIOS to an older imac with nvidia graphics, you can just press space bar at clover menu and select alternate config.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2676621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just installed vanilla Mojave with Intel's graphics acceleration, can't go back after enjoying the dark theme. I hope Nvidia will release GTX and RTX compatible drivers in some near future.

Guest millusions Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 yea. been waiting like 8 months now. so don't hold your breath. i have a feeling AMD gave apple some $$$ for exclusivity. dark mode, it's so silly, but yea, it's cool AF Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339011-stuck-on-boot-after-upgrading-to-gtx-1060-from-gtx-750-ti-sierra-10126/#findComment-2676886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
