-f required at every boot

[evilgus]

I have a problem since I put a GT740 card in my Hackintosh and updated to 10.10.3

I now seem to have to boot with -f or I get a no entry sign on boot. Doing -v I get a hang at "still waiting for boot device". I've tried various boot flags but nothing seems to cure it.

Curious that -f makes it run perfectly. Here is my org.chameleon.plist

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>IGPEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>kext-dev-mode=1 PCIRootUID=1 npci=0x2000</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>HDEFLayoutID</key>
<string>01000000</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1200x32</string>
<key>HDAEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

I'm using the following hardware

M/B: Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 120GB Samsung 840EVO
HDD: 1TB Samsung HD103UJ
Graphics: EVGA GT740 SC

It ran fine after 10.10.3 and restarted no problem. I left it overnight to switch off (scheduled for 10pm) and in the morning it wouldn't boot. Also it ignores the timeout request and waits for an input to boot from SSD and shows the tonymac apple instead of the real apple icon.

Any clues?

Kepler cards (such as the GT 740) work with GraphicsEnabler=No in your org.Chameleon.plist. Reference: http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...7xx-kepler-cards-work-graphicsenabler-no.html
