Kernel panic at install boot on GA-X99-SLI w/ i7-5820k & GTX 970

[zemaxou]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to get my new computer work on OSX and I'm experiencing some issues;

My hardware

• Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-X99-SLI
• CPU : Intel i7-5820k
• Graphics : Gigabyte GV-N970IXOC-4GD (GeForce GTX 970 4 GB)
• Memory : 2 x Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2133 MHz CL14
• Storage :
  • 2 x Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120 Go
  • Hitachi Deskstar 7K4000 4 To SATA 6Gb/s

I got the 2 SSDs to install Windows and OSX on separate drives, 4To HDD is for document storage.

What I have done

• Windows is already installed on one of the SSDs.
• I have set my BIOS according to various advices I found online (vt-d off and AHCI).
• I first tried to boot with an USB key I made with UniBeast 6.1.1 with El Capitan and Clover but it didn't boot and I got the following error

• Following advices found on the Internet, I then tried with UniBeast 5.2.0 and Yosemite and I was able to get something by trying various boot parameters.

Finally, the parameters which lead me the farthest into the boot process were these ones :

-v -f -x npci=0x2000 cpus=0 nv_disable=1 PCIRootUID=1

But I still can't get the installer because I got a Kernel panic :



I don't know what to try next so I'm here seeking for some help.

Also, do you think I should try with UniBeast 5 or 6 ?

[SUP]Hey did you ever figure this out? I'm going to build using this same motherboard soon.[/SUP]

Yes, I figured it out and I have now a very functional hackintosh.

I don't have time to write a complete how-to but here are some things I remember :

OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 (last updates)
Everything is fully functional including audio

Some important points :

• You have to patch the kernel of the thumb drive in order to boot (some tutorials out there explain how to do it)
• Use multibeast to install VoodooTSCSync 6/8 Cores
• Use multibeast to install the last Voodoo audio driver, it works, I just patched mine to set default input gain to 0 (The only remaining issue is that it doesn't work if I reboot my machine from Windows to OSX, but if I shut it down and then boot it to OSX, it works)

The only boot flag I need is

npci=0x2000

Tell me if you need any help
