You need to figure out what is causing the kernel panic because without nvda_drv=1 you will never get your GTX 960 working.

What kext are you injecting or have installed to S/L/E?

none that I'm aware of
where would i check? clover configurator?

here is the end of my config.plist which seems to deal with kexts...

The kext you would be injecting won't be in your config. They would located in the EFI/Clover/kext/10.11 folder. If you don't have FakeSMC.kext installed in /System/Library/Extensions then you should at least have that kext in that folder. That is a required kext for all builds.

Also don't use MacPro5,1 SMBIOS. That machine uses ECC ram and will cause issues with your build since you are not. Your best option is iMac14,2.
 
Solving NVIDIA driver install problems

Hi, I've the problem 4. The fix worked for me (MacPro 6,1).
But, it seems to be impossible to use this kext from the Clover kext injector. It only works placed in S/L/E
Is there a solution to use it from EFI (to prevent future updates)?

No, this must be done for each update unfortunately. Only option is to not use MacPro6,1 or iMac15,1.

I am not familiar enough with Clover KEXT patching but that might be an alternative.

Yes, I know that MacPro6,1 causes problems, but I like the adventure...
Thanks for your answer, I'll dig this KEXT patching alternative...
 
Solving NVIDIA driver install problems

Hi guys!
I finally had my Mackintosh working good but I have one problem
I'm using 2 monitors and they used to run well on 10.10.2 sometimes, but I can't use my primary monitor here in 10.10.4/10.10.5 (Blackend, it's connected on DVI because the GTX 960 hasn't got a VGA port and my monitor hasn't got an HDMI port) while the secondary one is working really good but it sucks so I need my primary one
I don't need the dual monitor to work, but just the primary one
Do you know how I could solve this problem to the DVI port?

I'm on "iMac (Summer 2001)" (I don't know where SMBIOS is)

I suggest creating your own thread. Your issue is not related to the installing the Nvidia drivers.

Thought it was related, I'll open a new topic
Sorry for the OT
 
Solving NVIDIA driver install problems

I hope someone can help me with my problem (nr. 4)

I am kind of a newbie here (had macs for some years now, but build my first mackintosh this night).

My set up:
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H, i7 4770S
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 950 with LG 31MU97-B (4k monitor connected over display port)

I've installed the latest Nvidia web driver 346.03.03f02 and set my system to iMac 14.2. Unfortunately the max resolution I can my system to is 3200 x 1800, 30 Hz
I guess that should set my system to iMac 15.1 (or 15.2?) to get the max resolution of 4096 x 2160.
That's what I tried last night which left me with a blank screen. So I reinstalled everything this morning and chose iMac 14.2 ...
How should I proceed from here?

thanks for any help :)
