NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for 10.10.2 (343.02.02)

[TpwUK]

My only experience with Waiting for root device is with USB3, have you recently connected anything to a USB3 port ?

The other lines may well have revealed more, hopefully something like GenericXHCI failed to load.

AFAIK your problem is not really a Graphics issue, are you having to use any npci=0x???? flags ?

I didn't change anything connected to a usb3 port.
i will upload a picture.
it said also something like warning:IOplatformUtil get cpuidinfo: unknown cpu model
No genericxhci seen so far.

i never used any npci flags. Don't know exactly what they do. Should i try them?
my hack was working perfectly for months until i tried the gtx980 now.
intalled with multibeast.

The unknown CPU model has never been a biggie here. Good for the USB3 issue, then it could be just needing npci=0x2000 adding to the Kernel Flags, so just until we know reboot and type that in, see what happens, if it still fails then try 0x3000 instead

ok, thanks!
I got it to boot once with the 0x2000 flag.
that gave the chance to clone the drive. So I have two systems now.
But now when I try to reboot it doesn`t work anymore.
I took a picture of the bootsequence with -v
Any ideas?
should be something minor. When it booted everything was perfect. Doesn´t seem to find the drive or something.

EDIT:
I just got it to boot with -f
Has some graphics errors though

Try adding these boot flags --> Kext-Dev-Mode=1 npci=0x2000 -f

That should get it going again - If it does then set those flags to your org.chameleon.boot.plist, you might be able to drop the -f at a later stage

As the message saying your booting is still waiting for the root device to appear.
Ensure that you are using First 3Gbps SATA Port for connecting your OS X HDD.
Ensure that the SATA Mode set to AHCI

While doing the post installation tasks have you selected the option "Drivers > System > AppleRTC Patch for CMOS Reset" in Multibeast?? If not the rerun multibeast installer and select the above mentioned option install it. Then reboot OS X and check.

Good Luck...!

Just tried it.
Didn`t work.
I never had a problem with booting before I installed the 980. AHCI is also enabled.
Must be something the driver is causing.
But at least I can boot with -f now.
Maybe check the bootlog?
Where can I find it?

Boot with -f or -x then open your org.chameleon.boot.plist file and change the option as mentioned below,

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>No</string>

Save it. Reboot without any of the flags and check.

Note:- Believing that you had already added the flag "nvda_drv=1" under kernel flags.

Good Luck..!

I can boot with these arguments. Not able to drop the -f though.
Gives me a black bar on my firefox window.
