Updated -> See below. All working.
I apologise if this is already solved here but I can't find anywhere in the forum.
I have a Gigabyte X299 Ultra Gaming with 7900X and GTX 1080 Ti, I can't get into the installer unfortunately, I have built many Hackintosh's but this may be my first failure
I've attached my EFI including options that I have needed to boot 'a little further' each time but I've hit a wall it seems.
It would originally freeze/stop just after the ACPI Error: Method/parse execution failed. But then after adding npci=0x2000 (I missed that originally) it got a little further, but then I got to "Architecture could not be recognized" as seen in screenshot(s). And then finally the completely garbled display with the no entry sign which is where I currently am.
Has anyone experienced this before? I have applied the recommended Gigabyte BIOS settings as well as followed the installer creation guide using the scripts and so on.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Full specs:
Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming 1.0
Intel 7900x clocked (tiered) @ 4.7GHz
MSI 1080ti Gaming X 11GB
Samsung 960 PRO m.2
Alienware AW3418DW 3440x1440 @ 120hz
Custom hard line cooling loop (EK, Bitspower, Phanteks)
Update:
So I got it working, updated EFI folder attached. Dual boot with Windows 10 UEFI also working.
Steps:
1) No matter what I did I couldn't get it to boot the installer without cpus=1 in the boot options, so I just went with this and got it up and running.
2) Installed web drivers no problem and graphics worked, but still with only cpus=1
3) I tried ssdtPRGen, etc but nothing worked to get my system to boot with all CPUs, so eventually I built a custom VoodooTSCSync using this tool -> https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/t...r-create-a-custom-version-of-voodoo-tsc-sync/ - before you say anything, yes, I tried the TSC Reset kext from the original build guide but it didn't work for me.
4) Success! Booted with 10 cores and full graphics.
- No audio - tried clover ALC 1220 but couldn't get it working, settled for HDMI audio as my monitor has audio out and I use a USB DAC anyway.
5) No SMC / CPU status, trying the latest FakeSMC and modules just crashed boot, I cloned latest git and compiled latest master and that worked for me.
All of the above is included in the EFI.zip attached.
If you have a Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming and 7900x with an NVIDIA graphics card you should be able to basically copy this EFI over your EFI partition and it should work for you.
Screenshots of benchmarks attached.
I'm running a tiered overclock starting at 4.7ghz down to 4.3.ghz depending on cores active.
