I'm trying to make my hackintosh work, and today's experiment was to download
@pastrychef's EFI folders whole. Mine is a gigabyte board, 8700, and the problem is an Nvidia 1060 card.
With the r4.2b EFI, I can boot & ethernet works. But if I tick the "use Nvidia WEB drivers" (and install them) then, when I get to the login screen, it freezes after a few seconds, goes black, comes back, and repeats.
Nothing I do seems to let me get past this stage! I have exactly the same problem on an all-default Multi-beast created EFI, and the same when I add Lilu + WhateverGreen myself, and check these are loading:
Code:
kextstat | grep What
17 1 0xffffff7f80c80000 0x15000 0x15000 as.vit9696.WhateverGreen (1.2.0) D0F5C2C3-46C6-3B02-9D3E-D1D5FD5F0E5A <16 12 7 5 4 3 2 1>
Am on 10.13.6 (17G65), BTW. But I also try things on a Sierra installation (on an HFS partition of the same 500 Samsung EVO860) in case this helps... but usually the same error there.
With the r3.5 EFI (from post #1) I can't boot up at all. I thought from some posts (I have not read them all, I'm sorry!) that this might be the recommendation here for Nvidia cards. (I understand you've moved on to AMD, but well I bought this one in the hope of being able to run CUDA, not the screen.) If I should be trying 3.5 not 4.1, are there any clues what I should check or change in order to boot from this?
