So this is basically the same issue I'm running into (although, I'm trying to get the system to boot off an NVME drive).
This issue gets discussed quite a bit here: http://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/tickets/125/?page=0
To save you the time of reading a few hundred posts, I'll summarize what the thread details.
The kernel can only use 4gb of memory. On boot, it must load in all the ROMs for the various PCIe and other system devices that are needed at boot. To do this, it needs continuous blocks of memory. OsxAptioFixDrv is terrible at memory allocation, and so finding continuous blocks of memory sometimes doesn't happen, hence the error.
However: It seems that memory maps are not cleared with reboot. I've personally experienced this, and many of the people in that cloverefi bug report did as well. This means that once you get the message you will continue to get the message. The solution offered in the thread was to reset your bios. Personally, I just unplug my thunderbolt card, boot, and then replug it back in. Changing the PCIe configuration seems to force the boot mem-map to rebuild.
The bug report concludes with the issue either vanishing due to the new version of clover, or people still have it.
On another note, you might try out the alternate OsxAptioFixDrv-x99 that is provided by rrbunmc in his original post.
Best of luck. If you discover anything, please let me know.
Edit: I tried the bios config change suggested by bluesrain. The system doesn't boot at all. Running -v shows me that it hangs after [ PCI configuration end, bridges 16, devices 21 ] and it always hangs on the "HDAEnabler: Copyright (c) 2008 by Kaby"
Edit: It actually just hangs on whatever comes after [ PCI configuration end, bridges 16, devices 21 ].
Thanks very much!
I tried following rrbunmc guide and using his OsxAptioFixDrv-x99 but no luck yet.
I´ll try to go through the whole process again and see if I get some results.
In the mean time have you seen the post good news for x99 users?
I managed to get speed steps following their guide and using fakecpuid.
