[SOLVED] Reboot loop after OsxAptioFixDrv2 after BIOS update

[bt993]

Hi,
A couple of months ago I built a hackintosh for a friend. Here are the details:

• Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-B150M-D3H
• Processor: Intel - Core i7-6700K
• Graphics card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 960

I managed to get everything up and running with clover, until he performed some updates a couple of days ago and broke the install somehow.
After the update, the bar under the apple logo got stuck at around 90%, verbose log showed:

busy timeout[0], (240s), kextd wait(0): "AppleACPICPU"

I thought it could be CPU related and wanted to make sure that vt-d was disabled, but somehow I was unable to change it, so I updated the BIOS to f24b and then changed vt-d to disabled. Unfortunately, I do not even get to the bar now, and only get to the following output with -v:

OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi
Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and after a couple of seconds the computer reboots.
I then tried updating clover (using my own hackintosh install), using OsxAptioFixDrv, copying HFSplus.efi from my own machine but nothing helped. Does anybody have an idea what could have gotten wrong?
My best guess would be that the bios update changed all settings back to the default values, but I tried changing a lot of them to no avail.
Thank you!

Here are my current BIOS settings:

• BIOS
  • Bootup NumLock State On
  • Security Option System
  • Full Screen LOGO Show Enabled
  • Fast Boot Disabled
  • Windows 8/10 Features Other OS
  • LAN PXE Boot Option ROM Disabled
  • Storage Boot Option Control UEFI
  • Other PCI devices UEFI
• Peripherals
  • Initial Display Output PCIe 1 Slot
  • Above 4G Decoding Disabled
  • Ambient LED Off
  • Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) Disabled
  • OffBoard SATA Controller Configuration
    • No PCIe SATA Controllers / PCIe SSDs are Present
  • Trusted Computing
    • Security Device Support Enable
    • NO Security Device Found
  • Super IO Configuration
    • Serial Port Disabled
    • Parallel Port Enabled
  • Intel(R) Bios Guard Technology
    • Intel Bios Guard Support Disabled
  • Network Stack configuartion
    • Network Stack Disabled
  • NVMe Configuration
    • No NVME Device Found
  • USB Configuration
    • Legacy USB Support Enabled
    • XHCI Hand-off Enabled
    • USB Mass Storage Driver Support Enabled
    • Port 60/64 Emulation Enabled
  • SATA And RST Configuration
    • SATA Controller(s) Enabled
    • SATA Mode Selection AHCI
    • Aggressive LPM Support Enabled
• Chipset
  • VT-d Disabled
  • Internal Graphics Auto
  • Audio Controller Enabled
  • PcH Lan Controller Enabled
  • Wake on LAN Enabled Disabled
  • High Precision Timer Enabled
  • IOAPIC 24-119 Entries Enabled

Another guess was that the NVidia web drivers may not be compatible with the update and tried booting with the internal graphics to update them, but it was not successful either

Does anybody have an idea? I am stuck...

sorry, I indeed had not read that. Here are the files, let's hope they help.

Your SIP settings are incorrect.
Set config.plist/RtVariables/CsrActiveConfig=0x67.

Remove OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi.
Then try OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi or OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi (each independently).

Also, remove unnecessary kexts:
- all folders under EFI/Clover/kexts should be deleted except for 'Other' (you're injecting duplicates from 10.12 and Other)
- remove everything from Other except FakeSMC.kext

And if you have FakeSMC.kext installed to the system volume, your setting for config.plist/SystemParameters/InjectKexts is wrong. InjectKexts is typically set to "Detect".

Ok, I changed that.

Remove OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi.
Then try OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi or OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi (each independently).

I tried all fixes that are available in clover. OsxAptioFixDrv-64 fails, while OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 does not seem to fail, but the system does not make it any further.

Also, remove unnecessary kexts:
- all folders under EFI/Clover/kexts should be deleted except for 'Other' (you're injecting duplicates from 10.12 and Other)

Yes I thought maybe they are somehow not loaded, and therefore copied them to the other folders. I keep everything in Other now.

- remove everything from Other except FakeSMC.kext

I do not think the kexts are the issue, as the system was working fine for the better part of a year. But I am no expert - I removed them and plan to put them back one by one once I get to the login screen.

And if you have FakeSMC.kext installed to the system volume, your setting for config.plist/SystemParameters/InjectKexts is wrong. InjectKexts is typically set to "Detect".

This too seems like an odd mistake, as the system was working fine. Nevertheless I changed it.

Thanks a lot for your help, unfortunately everything is still the same...

I posted this in another forum as well and got the suggestion of:

• changing Internal Graphics to enable in the BIOS
• changing parallel port to disabled in the BIOS
• Enable KernelPm under Kernel and Kext Patches in the clover config file

This got me past the few lines and I am now stuck here:

as per rules (the ones you agreed to) please update your hardware profile

hm I thought I did that already. I filled in the fields in Profile -> Build Signature, and I retried just now, but somehow the changes are not saved. Do I have to set it up somewhere else as well?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.
