I've had an excellent system running Mavericks with everything running. I know I need to upgrade soon and I had been using a GTX 770 4gb and GTX 780 Ti. In order for the GTX 980 Ti to work I need at least Yosemite. Right now, I'm really running Yosemite and I've encountered the same errors in El Capitan too. I will move to El Capitan once this is figured out.
Specs are listed in my profile. Situation:
I used an unlocked MSR on my BIOS to enable full speed stepping with an ssdt generated from Pike-Alpha's ssdtPRgen file. I generated a new ssdt and installed it in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched and Drop OEM in Clover Configurator.
I'm using Clover UEFI boot and did a native install. I could only get into the installer by adding cpus=1 flag. My normal flags are npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1. So adding the cpu flag and using my built in VGA output got me and through the install with no problems.
I followed TonyMac's guide and removed the extra kexts and put them into the 10.10 folder or 10.11 when I was doing that. I had 3rd party SATA, Intel Generic SATA, ElliottForceLegacyRTC, EvOreboot, FakeSMC, and VoodooTSCSync in this folder. After reading how some have had success with disabling SIP (for 10.10 I have the kext-dev-mode=1 flag) and still installing the kexts into S/L/E I tried that. Still produced the same result: a kernel panic that I'm not sure what it's traced to but using the cpus=31 flag works.
Running Geekbench also reveals that it's only using 31 threads instead of 32, which is what was running without the cpus flag in Mavericks. So that's the first issue.
Next, I install either my GTX 770 or GTX 980 Ti or 780 Ti and it's always the same. It stalls at PCIConfiguration Begin.
What hardware does this relate to? I mean what can I change that might have effect on this boot up error? I figure it has something to do with the video card. I have it in pci slot 3 where I've not had issues ever before.
So thoughts?
