[Solved] Permanent loop after Unibeast

[Busta999]

If you are using the EFI folder from the above link, you should delete all the hackintosh related kexts from /Library/Extensions/.

1 - Yes I using the EFI folder from the EFI zip file at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...lent-ga-z370n-i5-8400-16gb-500gb-nvme.247619/

Ok - On the new Hackintosh in the /Library/Extensions there are no CLOVER labelled kexts just the following kexts
ACS6x
AcrMSR
ATTOCelerity
ATTOExpressSASHBA2
ATTOExpressASARAID2
CalDigitHDProDrv
HighPointOP
PromisesSTEX
SoftRAID

And the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other contains the following kexts

AppleALC
AppleIntelE1000e
FakeSMC
IntelGraphicsFixup
IntelMausiEthernet
Lilu

The networking error has stopped of its own accord - it will not keep any WINS name I give it - but prefers to retire to a conflicted name

My main area of concern right now is getting display solid - the screen corruption makes it difficult to use

The kexts look fine. The WINS name may be related NVRAM. I don't know what you originally installed when you first ran MultiBeast... But I recommend trying to run Clover Emulated NVRAM Uninstaller, then upgrade Clover and be sure to select AptioMemoryFix and deselect OsxAptioFix2Drv-64. This will give you native NVRAM.

Upon reboot, if you are still getting the WINS problem, try clearing NVRAM using Terminal command:

sudo nvram -c

OK I think we are at cross purposes.

This install has NEVER had Multibeast run

Ran a complete UNIBEAST
Replaced EFI Partition folder EFI with the one at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...lent-ga-z370n-i5-8400-16gb-500gb-nvme.247619/

No MultiBeast has been run on this install

If you have never ran MultiBeast, you should still run the Emulated NVRAM Uninstaller and replace OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 with AptioMemoryFix. OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 broke native NVRAM and required an emulated NVRAM workaround. AptioMemoryFix restored.

The EFI folder from the above link uses OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.

OK I am at a complete loss. Getting there but still on a steep learning path

Be gentle with me I'm a noob at this

My total Hackintosh experience to date is:

Run UniBeast, Run Multibeast (but not on build attempt 4), copy an EFI folder from a another install to the EFI partition.

un the Emulated NVRAM Uninstaller and replace OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 with AptioMemoryFix. OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 broke native NVRAM and required an emulated NVRAM workaround. AptioMemoryFix restored.

Found (Clover) Emulated NVRAM Uninstaller - I run that on the Hackintosh​

Found OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 in EFI Partition /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI folder​

I cannot find in the Downloads Section anything call AptioMemoryFix.efi a search of tonymacx86.com does not reveal it either.

A pointer please?

Thanks

latest versions of clover has AptioMemoryFix.efi, use that and remove OsxAptioFix2Drv-64

Usually, I get the updated AptioMemoryFix from running the Clover installer, but for the sake of simplicity, I attached it to this post. I also included HFSPlus.

1. Download the attached file.
2. Unzip it.
3. Copy both files to /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/.
4. In the same folder, delete OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 and VboxHfs-64.
5. Reboot.

OK done - yet again I owe you another beer!!

Swapped out efi files - ran (Clover) Emulated NVRAM Uninstaller - success reboot

The netbios name is now hackmac - not original but unique for my LAN

Any suggestions on stabilising video - the screen corruption makes it very difficult to do anything?

What type of corruption are you seeing? How much VRAM did you set for IGPU?

 

[Busta999]

OK

1. Initial Display set to IGFX
2. Internal Graphics - Enabled
3. DVMT Pre-Allocated: 128M

A. Screen corruption a flashing 'mirror' of the main window on display 10% of the screen left of Safari- ie Safari in this case
B. As I move a window around it leaves clippings of open windows and leaves them flashing on the screen

After a period of time it is difficult to detect which is the 'real' window and which is the ghost

I'm currently running 1080P not trying clever stuff yet
