Hi there,
This is a cry for help. I have followed many guides and none has fully helped me in achieving my hackintosh.
My rig is the following:
- Intel Xeon W3680
- Gigabyte X58A UD3R FE
- ATI Radeon HD7950
I am trying to replicate the MacPro 5.1 Westmere (2012) configuration.
I have been around this for almost a month now and the most successfully I have got is getting the Clover boot screen, choosing the flash drive "install macOS" and then, after some logging, I get for an instant a white screen followed by black screen and then display turns off. (Some screen shots from final logging moments attached.)
I am building the flash drive with UniBeast (from tonymac's guide for High Sierra, Legacy BIOS mode) and I have been incrementally tweaking it (tweaks stated below).
My main suspicions are towards the graphic card.
But I also find it strange that my unused brand new SSD does not appear in clover boot window and i have set all SATA controllers to AHCI. I can see it in the BIOS peripherals and in boot screens, but not on clover menu. (See attached images, the ones showing there, are from an HDD with Windows and Ubuntu installed, not the brand new SSD)
What I have done so far:
- I am using "Inject ATI" and "RadeonDeInit" flag in "Graphics" tab from Clover Configurator. I have tried with and without, both, combinations. No success.
- I have flashed the HD 7950 with the Mac version. (youtube video using ROM from Russian site)
- I have added the following drivers to both "drivers64" and "drivers64UEFI" folders:
-- "AptioMemoryFix-64.efi"
-- "EmuVariableUefi-64.efi"
-- "VBoxHfs-64.efi"
- I have added the following kexts:
-- VirtualSMC.kext
-- VoodooTSCSync.kext (6 core)
-- VoodooHDA.kext
-- Lilu.kext
-- WhateverGreen.kext
- I have downloaded from tonymacx86 DSDT database the Gigabyte X58A UD3R FE .aml file and placed it under /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml
For the sake of simpleness attached are some screenshots of how my clover configuration is.
Most importantly, the clover log is also attached.
Any help or pointing to the right direction is very much appreciated.
Apologies the the loads of information given here, I am a software engineer at application level (java, python...) and this super exceeds me... so the more information I give the best chance I'll get a better help
Cheers.
