high sierra bootloader problem and graphics

[P1LGRIM]

if i put hdmi monitor.. i dont need nv_disable=1 as bootflag , and the graphics run smooth?

If your GT630 is the Kepler edition with a GK208 core then it has native support with no need for web drivers.
nv_disable=1 disables the Nvidia drivers, you should not use it.

Ok. As I see you have an Intel Xeon X5460 (Harpertown), you don't have an available Intel internal GPU (iGPU) for the OS to boot from. That means you MUST boot with the Nvidia.

To boot with the Nvidia, you will likely need to boot with these boot-arguments (boot-args) set in EFI/Clover/config.plist using the Clover Configurator app (these are settings I used in my previous Nvidia builds):

dart=0
darkwake=0
slide=0
kext-dev-mode=1
npci=0x2000
nvda_drv=1
alcid=1

And you also need to make sure your BIOS settings are Hackintosh compatible (for the best results).

Have a look at the following builds/posts, especially the first link. It should show you the correct BIOS settings you must set first before booting with the Clover bootloader:

Also the alcid setting above refers to the sound card layout - you must have this setting for the sound card to work. I checked you have a Realtek ALC1200 sound codec on your motherboard. We set it to 1 as a guess but you can change this from 1 to 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 27, 28, or 29 if you don't have sound. If you have the AppleALC.kext & Lilu.kext installed and apply the correct layout number, the sound card should work.

I do it ...I make install of clover bootloader without multibeast and now I open clover configuration and the EFI/clover/config.plist Appear .. so I try your boot-args but when finish the boot and I’m inside of Mac , the screen is blinking and it’s black and grey .. so I make my old boot- args ( -v nv_disable=1 dart=o npci=0x3000) ..p1lgrim says the vga dosnt support for this edition ..if I use hdmi may the problem gone ?

I boot without nv_disable=1 and the background is black and some rgb on screen and the noise cursor is disappear

Did you also put in or try darkwake=0 and/or slide=0 ?

Part of the process of hackintosh is testing your settings to see if they work. You do know you can do this from Clover? When you boot Clover, and get to the boot selection screen (where you see all the drive icons), move your cursor right (ie. press right key on your keyboard) until it moves to Clover Options icon, hit Enter - then you can add/make changes to the boot-args in your list. Say you wanted to add darkwake=0 to your current settings, all you do is highlight the top line within this Options section, press Enter and you can edit that line to fit your needs ie.
-v dart=0 slide=0 npci=0x2000 nvda_drv=1. Once finished press Enter, press ESC to get out of Options screen then highlight your Mac boot drive, press Enter to finish and it will boot into macOS with your new settings.

GLITCH SCREEN GT630 ON HIGH SIERRA 10.13.6

Hi all, I've install successfully macOS 10.12.6 on my Del Oplitex 980: Core i7-870, RAM 8G, GT630, using USB wifi. All work verry well. I didn't use any web driver version for my hack, just inject Nvidia in my config file. Now I'm trying install version 10.13.6 on this Computer as dual boot...

Ioannis,

Okay, then yes the RX470 should be a better GPU for you on High Sierra.

But AppleALC DOES have 'kext' for your sound card - it is already added into the kext! You will need to download the latest version from here > https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC
It will detect your card nut you must select the appropriate alcid number to activate it. You can find the values to try here in this list > https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

The HD Audio setting in BIOS is fine, you can leave it as is.

If you still have trouble with the sound, you could perhaps try using Toleda's Codec Commander script > https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverALC

Mmm I check it and I see the alc1200 is not on the list ... but I find this for my sound card and I think it’s worked .

[Solved] ALC1200 on Asus P5QC

Hi guys, I successfully updated to High Sierra, but now I have no audio. On Sierra I used a modified version of AppleHDA.kext that no longer works on High Sierra. Could you please tell me if there is any way out? Thank you in advance

but tell me how to install kext? With clover ?
