I have still some boot arguments: nvidia_drv=1 dart=0 kext-mode=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

Method 3:

1. Open Terminal
2. Enter this command (it is one line)
   
   sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist
3. Arrow down to where you see <key>ConfigMap</key>
4. For the iMac15,1 locate the board-id "Mac-42FD25EABCABB274" and change string below it from "Config2" to "none". For the MacPro6,1 you will do the same thing but for the board-id "Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6". For the iMac17,1 you'll have to see which board-id is declared in your config.plist SMBIOS: "Mac-B809C3757DA9BB8D" or "Mac-65CE76090165799A" or "Mac-DB15BD556843C820" and change the appropriate entry to "none".
5. Save the file by pressing Ctrl+O, then enter.
6. Exit by pressing Ctrl+X
7. Rebuild the kernel cache using the following two commands in terminal:
   
   
   sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
   sudo kextcache -system-caches
8. Reboot

Hi,

my Setup is the following Gigabyte Z97MX + GTX970, which is connected.

I updated to Sierra and booted successfully. Then i loaded some kexts (as far as I recall): Atheros, IO802111Family, RealtekALC, FakeSMC

I have still some boot arguments: nvidia_drv=1 dart=0 kext-mode=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

I booted into a Blackscreen, but I can boot successfully on the config.plist-backup (config and backup both attached)

Loaded with the backup-config the browsing is like 1 frame per second, the nvidia graphics driver tells me that he activated the OSX default driver.

Thanks for everything

Not sure if this thread should be used for this topic but than again my information are alrdy told in here, so:
I have troubles with activating sound. I do get the "No audio output" message i looked into this thread
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/no-audio-devices-realtek-alc-applehda-guide.143752/#post886726
followed by this
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...s-workarounds-and-current-information.170611/

i have csr-active-config 0x67 in my config.plist, but what should i do next?

ok sorry I solved it myself after being freaked out of the huge thread as seen above. I just installed audio_cloverALC-120.command.zip an it works fine.

thanks
