I put my old Sierra hard drive back in and installed an NVidia graphics card. My machine works as well as it did before now.
No High Sierra for me, at least for now.
I'm still struggling with this. I've now started over from scratch again, and cannot get video working under acceleration. I've come to depend on this machine for weekly multi-cam video edits under FCPX, and am now getting concerned I may have to come up with $3000-4000 to buy an iMac.
Any help...
So I found this thread, via the Install Guide:
[READ ME FIRST!] Graphics Setup & Troubleshooting
I'm confused about the instructions under Intel HD. I can't figure out how to set "InjectIntel=True"
I have Clover from my previous install, and when I opened it again it asked to update (so I did.)...
Actually, it seems as though Multibeast isn't doing anything for me. None of the drivers I've tried installing via Multibeast have made anything work.
What works: Networking & Bluetooth (no problems at all) - Thanks to P1lgrim, booting is a minor issue (I need to edit the default)
What doesn't...
A suitable "Plan B" would be an inexpensive (<$100) graphics card that would be really easy to get working. Short of getting on-board working, any recommendations for a card?
Thanks so much! I got the boot working properly. I'll have to edit it to set the right default, but can at least pull the USB drive now.
This is probably my issue. The original was for Sierra, and now I'm getting High Sierra running, so I downloaded the High Sierra version of Multibeast.
So...
Forgive my complete cluelessness on this. I have a system that is a little over a year old and has gone on the fritz. It seems that every time I have to do anything to it, I've forgotten almost everything about how to make it work again, so I am starting over at nearly square one. It worked well...
I just went through that whole thing and still didn't get it to work. I got the "ROM Failed" and updating Clover drivers didn't help. May tinker again later, but out of time for today.
And another reboot gives me on-board audio and Bluetooth is about 95% better (also on-board)
Still no WiFi (though not the end of the world for me)
Also, I see that Messages won't login. I remember seeing that's a problem for some people, will have to dig in and see if I can get that to work...
After a busy couple weeks, I'm back to tinkering. I don't have a use for this machine other than the Hackintosh in which I bought it for, so I'm not giving up quite yet. It will be awhile before I can get an iMac instead, so I might as well keep trying.
There's a little bit of process. I tried...
Lots of problems for me. What I CAN do:
Install Sierra on an SSD
Boot to Sierra with the UniBeast USB drive as the bootloader
Basic video works
Ethernet works
Download software from the App Store (something I saw gave me the impression this isn't a given)
What I can't do:
Get my system to...
Forgive me for starting a new thread, I had been piggybacking off this thread, but ssmendon (the original poster) got his system working and that thread was marked "Solved", so the tread isn't getting any attention.
I'm struggling to get my system to boot after either MultiBeast or the newest...
I gave it another go, as described in my last post. Fresh install, loaded Kext files according to the post ssmendon linked to, and installed the newest Clover downloaded from Sourceforge. Still won't boot. Here are the screenshots from two boot attempts (no change between them, just a reset)
I did see that, thanks. I tried last night to uncheck Inject Intel in Clover as it states, but it still wouldn't boot. Time has been hard to find lately, but my next step was going to be to try installing fresh (yet again) and making the kext installs he suggests as well as install the latest...
Looks like mine. I started over, yet again, and instead of running MultiBeast, I installed Clover, newest version, downloaded directly from Sourceforge.
It got me further in to the boot process. The progress bar got to about 95% before hanging, as opposed to roughly 2/3.
Here's the verbose boot:
I'm having the same problem. I boot after running MultiBeast and it hangs at about 2/3 progress.
I have no idea how to do a verbose boot with Clover.
The version of Multibeast I used is only about a month old. Ironically, I didn't have this problem when I tried a little older version, intended...
