Allan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The hardware - Motherboard: Jingyue X99-D8 Server - CPU (two): Dual Xeon E5 2680 v4 - GPU: RX 560 Note: I've rewrited/flashed the original BIOS of this motherboard, because with the original BIOS wasn't possible to boot with the 2 CPUs. So, I'm using a Huananzhi-X99-F8D, only with this one I can boot with the 2 CPUs. That's the price for buying a cheap motherboard...😒 I trying to boot Catalina with OpenCore and Clover, but I've got the same error message Thank you guys 😊 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350766-help-jingyue-x99-d8-server-xeon-e5-2680-v4-doesnt-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm using a Huananzhi-X99-F8D, only with this one I can boot with the 2 CPUs. This is confusing… Do you mean you've cross-flashed the Jingyue X99-D8 with a BIOS for Huananzhi-X99-F8D? How do you know you can or cannot boot with 2 CPUs? From booting in Linux or Windows? Have you dumped the ACPI tables from the original BIOS and/or after cross-flashing the BIOS? Sorry to come back with a barrage of questions… I'm trying to understand the situation. Oh, can you provide links to the specifications of this exotic board? A quick search only returned links to buy Jingyue boards, and I'm not even sure it was the right one.

Yep, creepy right? Lol 21 hours ago, etorix said: How do you know you can or cannot boot with 2 CPUs? From booting in Linux or Windows? I forgot to specify that, but using 2 CPUs the machine keeps on loop at the FF error. With this error, I even can't access the BIOS, boot options (F3), nothing... 21 hours ago, etorix said: Have you dumped the ACPI tables from the original BIOS and/or after cross-flashing the BIOS? Nope. Now that the machine is working with Windows, I'll dump the ACPI tables to take a look into. I can do this using a USB stick with Clover. But, the main problem is that I can't boot macOS 🥲 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350766-help-jingyue-x99-d8-server-xeon-e5-2680-v4-doesnt-boot/#findComment-2776740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
