Continued from here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/lion-desk...ckintosh-en-route-el-capitan.html#post1181131
After doing a test install of Linux on a spare drive to verify my new GT 730 actually works, I took the plunge, blew away Lion and installed El Capitan. Of course, I had to use "nv_disable=1" to get it working, and it looked awful, but it worked. Multibeast went without a hitch (audio now works! yay!) But when I rebooted...
...same problem as before, OS X starts to load and then screen goes blank. Have to nail the reset button and use nv_disable=1 again to get to the login screen and Finder. Located the proper 'alternate' nVidia drivers for 10.11.2 here:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/96651/en-us
and installed them (installer worked properly, identifying my card as a GT 730). Rebooted.
Same result, need nv_disable=1 to boot successfully. Trying to enable it in the nVidia preferences doesn't work; also, for some reason, the ECC tab shows "no device found".
Oh, this is odd...locked up on spinning bar thingie on shutdown...hmm...
EDIT: Also installed latest CUDA drivers from above link, and tried "nvda_drv=1" to explicitly force use of the nVidia driver. Same result.
