Hi everyone,
I'm here seeking for help...
I'm trying to install Yosemite on a Dell PowerEdge R710 server. Main specs:
2x E5645 @ 2.4GHz
6x 8G DDR3 ECC 1333MHz
Intel 5500 series chipset
PERC 6/i (using dukzcry's SASMegaRAID.kext)
Asus GTX 950 (on 8x slot, the slot is cut to fit the card. no need ext power supply)
4 ports BCM5709C (doesn't work apparently...)
2 ports Intel 1000/PT (OOB)
NEC USB 3.0 PCIE card (flashed subsystem IDs with drivers from Sonnet)
Chimera v4.1 works without dsdt.aml, using MacPro3,1 SMBIOS, with the following kexts in S/L/E:
ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext
EvOreboot.kext
FakeSMC.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
SASMegaRAID.kext
SXHCD.kext
and nvidia web driver
Boot.plist entries:
EthernetBuiltIn=No
GraphicsEnabler=No
IGPEnabler=No
Kernel Flags=-v -npci=0x2000 dart=0 kext-dev-mode=1 nvda_drv=1
UseKernelCache=Yes
Except for graphics, certain operation will cause the whole system stuck for a long time (around 30s or more). That is, everything is stuck. Like if there is an Active Monitor somewhere, it stops refreshing too. Only mouse cursor is movable, everything else is not responsive. Sometime the spinning cursor even stops spinning... But mouse and keyboard operations are actually pending. When the stuck is over, everything refreshes like fast forward.
I found these operations are but not limited to:
Opening a desktop volume (zoom in effect, however closing it doesn't trigger the stuck)
Popping out Open file... window (also kind of zoom in pop up effect)
However dragging a window around is okay no matter how fast it goes.
This happens after the nvidia web driver is installed. Before installation the screen flickers and is laggy, but it never stuck. I also tried a GT 710 which is a PCIE 8x card, feel like the same.
Any suggestion would be appreciated...
------------------
I also tried to fix the problem by using Clover. Actually I started by using Clover but it has never worked. I always got instant KP. Sometimes no other information, sometimes a little bit more like attached screenshot. The panic is always type 14=page fault.
Tried -x, drop DSDT OEM _DSM, drop SSDT OEM, Patch APIC, Halt Enabler, Apple RTC, Asus AICPUPM, Kernel CPU, Kernel LAPIC, KernelPm, No Cache, various SMBIOS models... Always panic type 14=page fault...
Attached config.plist and Clover boot debug.log. Log is zipped since I can't upload .log file...
By the way this is on the very boot volume where Chimera works...
And I also tried 10.6.8, 10.9.5, 10.10.5, 10.11.5. All the same. And Unibeast 10.10.5 too.
I will be off town for a few days so I won't be able to try your suggestions immediately, but I will do it very soon. The most frustrating thing is, this metal box needs 1m30s to do POST... UEFI boot takes even longer
Really really appreciate your suggestions.
