Randomly getting prohibited sign while booting Sierra

[nervirasme]

Hi guys,

ever since I installed Sierra on my primary hackintosh (list of components is in signature below) I'm having a certain problem - sometimes I boot just fine, and sometimes I get prohibited sign and I have to manually restart until it boots normally again. It really happens randomly in no special sequence.

Another problem I'm having is related to audio - similar thing happens with it to - sometimes the audio drivers are loaded normally, while sometimes I get "No output devices found" in System Preferences (while having greyed-out speaker icon in the menubar). This also happens randomly.

Any advice?

Thanks!

i fixed following:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/installation-error-couldnt-allocate-runtime-area.177838/

to figure out your specific issue try to use -v flag at boot, in my case the problem was the randomly "Couldn't allocate runtime area"
I fixed by changing OsxAptioFix2Drv whit OsxAptioFixDrv

techno70 - it seems to be working, I restarted it several times and had no problem, the sound is being loaded also!
But, I'll have to keep an eye, it really needs to stay this way more than a week at least to be sure...

Thanks man!

Are you using OsxAptioFixDrv2? Is CsrActiveConfig set to 0x3?

CsrActiveConfig = 0x67
I'm using just OsxAptioFixDrv and i uninstalled OsxAptioFix2Drv
All it's working fine.

Hello,

I Had the same problem, prohibited sign again and again.
I tried lot of kexts/config.

Now it's working fine for me :
I have re-installed properly the system, used multibeast for some drivers, UPDATED BIOS (with some memory compatibility problems resolved), and it's working fine !

EDIT :

I Forgot to say that I use a MSI Z170A PRO, an I5 6600, an INTEL SSD 535 Series 480 Go, and 2 x 8 Go RAM DDR4 2400Mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX

EDIT :

Unfortunately, it seems to not work.
I just had some luck, and then it stopped.

... and I'm afraid to try again this kext/config.plist modifications. Last time my hackintosh
was in a reboot loop ...

the fix it's fine and still working for me but we are talking about mobo: MSI H170M-A-PRO
to fix your specific problem start to figure out it by using the flag -V at boot, if you get this error message:
"Couldn't allocate runtime area" then you can try this fix.
In some configurations, i've also fixed using "OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000" driver:

Good luck and do not give up!
