    z170x catalina 10.15.5 fresh install hangs at apfs_module_start with opencore

    thanks! unfortunately that didn’t have any appreciable impact. I subsequently went down the rabbit hole of ACPI patches, I can’t find that HEX to replace in my DSDT. I do have H_EC and attempted to rename H_EC to EC but I’m still missing something.

    z170x catalina 10.15.5 fresh install hangs at apfs_module_start with opencore

    Trying to take a previously working hardware configuration from Sierra/High Sierra and complete a fresh install substituting an AMD RX580. GA-Z170X-Designare | i7 6700K | Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition | Samsung 960 EVO 1TB I'm sure I'm doing something stupid but I'm missing the connection on...

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (367.15.10.35)

    I have/had my very similar setup working with two monitors Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext (see https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/black-screen-with-macpro-6-1-or-imac-15-or-imac-17-system-definition.183113/) I don't have two or three current monitors to test with. Of note I am using the...

    I mostly run wired so I'm not sure I would have seen it previously. I just tested I don't see anything like that.

    Nvidia Web Drivers Fail to Load After Gigabyte F20 BIOS Update

    I have a working build with F21, I had issues with getting nvram settings to persist. I think it was either forcing the ESP mount or setting save NVRAM to Always in clover preferences.

    Black Screen with MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition

    I did try that it didn't seem to change anything. I believe that I'd rather use 17,1 for the much closer match to my hardware. Before I got around to posting this reply I got it working. I did a full rebuild to make sure I knew the exact starting state. It seems like EmuVariable wasn't storing...

    Black Screen with MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition

    Using iMac17,1 and my profile config and thunderbolt passthrough I get BIOS and boot messages until I eventually fail at the black screen. I have ssh access in that state but screen sharing doesn't work. I think I've tried most all of the solutions in this thread and some others but I may have...

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (367.15.10.35)

    It /looks/ like I needed to manually add the nvda_drv=1 xml to nvram.plist on my EFI volume. I'm not sure what is wrong with my EmuVariable setup or if I'm missing some way to configure the behavior. Once that was done I could see the drivers being loaded and the card from system_profile...

    GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Designare

    With the adapter and bridging the cable in I am getting output on my display. I just need to fix the black screen issue which I already have steps for. [FIXED] I believe it my EmuVariable wasn't persisting nvda_drv=1 in nvram.plist in my EFI partition. I added force mount ESP and save NVRAM...

    GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Designare

    I wasn't able to get the integrated graphics via thunderbolt either but I didn't put any real effort into it. I'm waiting on the arrival of a cable so I can bridge to the DP in on the MB Thanks

    GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Designare

    Cinema display or Thunderbolt display? Are you running a jumper from your GPU to the DP in on the MB or is it working internally? Edit: Also you said previously it only works from one port which one did you find working? --> I'm using the port closest to the PS2 port Edit2: Clearly my...

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (367.15.10.35)

    I had been configuring by hand I can't find Nvidiawebdriver in clover configurator but I do see and have set NvidiaWeb. Which ketxs are loaded for the kingpin? Can I try to load them by hand, does that work at all? Edit: I can hand load GeForceWeb.kext and subsequently the CUDA driver stops...

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (367.15.10.35)

    I'm unsure how to answer that question. I'm using EmuVariable and I do see it loading from nram.plist. I also see nvda_drv being loaded in boot.log but silently dropped post boot so maybe? I also tried installing the CUDA drivers see if they detected the GPU but they also show "No GPU Detected"...

    This model FV-T919A / B01MDLG51U / LYSB01MDLG51U-CMPTRACCS seems to be currently available and working out of the box for ~$60 US from Amazon US. I haven't tried handoff and continuity but airdrop, bt KB, bt mouse/trackpad, and wifi are working. I'm only seeing ~450Mbps at the moment with iperf...
