Hi there,
I was wondering if someone on this forum could help me out. I got a little advice and help before when installing el capitan a little over a year ago but since then I have updated my GPU to a TITAN X Pascal and need sierra installed in order to update the drivers so I can use my hackintosh with my new card. right now I have swapped it out for my old trusty gtx 660 as this was the card I installed and got el capitan successfully running on before. So i don't see why I can't do it here....
My other Specs:
i7 5930k 6 core @ 3.9 GHZ OC
16 GB DDR4 2133MHZ Ram (4 Sticks)
MSI x99 SLI Plus Motherboard
GTX Titan X Pascal (Or Swap out for GTX 660 for installation until I can update the drivers)
Also have a Wifi Card I have never been able to get working. but this is a problem for another time, I may have to buy a specific one that can be used but for now I will just use an ethernet anyway.
500GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD for Windows
250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD for OSX
Anyways so I downloaded the latest version of Sierra from the mac app store yesterday and used the latest version of multibeast to install to a usb stick. It was painfully slow. and this is where the problems began....
So first I tried booting with several different commands to get the usb installation running. but it kept popping up with error allocating pages, shutting down in 10 seconds and would never boot. I figured it was just being down to being slow and not being able to read the files quick enough or something so I took out an external hard drive and partitioned it to install the sierra install to that. It was insanely quicker! whole process from start to finish in 10 minutes so I will definitely be using the external HDD for install from here on out...
Also here are the boot commands I use to get into El Capitan if they are of any use or important into solving this issue I am about to talk about:
Slide=0 dart=0 npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0 nvda_drv=1 UseKernelCache=No -v
So anyways, After the install to my external HDD and trying to boot into the installation. I once again got error allocating pages. But I remembered I also had a problem like this before last year when trying to sort el capitan out. I looked through my hard drive and found EFI backups and a quick google search told me to replace the osxAptioFixDrv plugin. So I did that and also updated the clover version to the latest version of 2.4 on the EFI portion of the install drive. After this I managed to get something going, sometimes the allocation error still comes up but I can at least get it to try some of the time now...
So once again I have tried several boot options and came across a couple of errors I now can not seem to bypass.... Below will be 2 pictures. the first one showing the terminal log in safe mode and the others without safe mode. both in -v ofc.
The first problem in the safe mode screen halts on PCI configuration Begin. I googled it and looked around on the forums and people said on the older versions of hackintosh at least I should be able to bypass it using the npci=0x2000 command but I already tried doing that anyway but it didn't change anything.
So the main problem lies with the other terminal text saying getCPUStates - Unexpected Data for C1 over and over again and halting on IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3 before shutting down.
I read that this might be because my system configuration is mac pro 6.1 on el capitan?.... But I just changed my system configuration with multibeast and now am reading as imac 14.1 but it still hasn't changed anything. What would you recommend that I do?
Apologies for the long post. I just thought it would be best to be as thorough and provide as much detail and insight as I can on what I have tried already and such.... If anybody could help me out I would really appreciate it! can't use my damn video card until I get this done
Thanks everyone I am very grateful of all of your help
