Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

Solving NVIDIA driver install problems

Can you explain in more details on the first point?

I try nvda_drv=1 without nv_disable=1 after each modification.

After editing the kext, when you run the command

sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel

You should see something like this in the output

kext-dev-mode allowing invalid signature -67062 0xFFFFFFFFFFFEFA0A for kext AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext

In your output you are only seeing FakeSMC.kext which means that the modifications you made to the AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext were not saved because it still has a valid signature.

I have checked, changes was saved. I tried to remove AppleGraphicsDeviceControl.kext and add it later by KextBeast. But I think I made wrong thing :) How can I fix this problem?

Intel i7 4790k
ASUS Sabertooth Mark 1 Z97
MSI GeForce GTX 970 OC

So I just setup a new system and was able to get the installer for El Capitan 10.11 directly from the USB. It booted just fine.

I then went ahead and installed the Nvidia Drivers for my MSI GeForce GTX 970 OC with drivers:346.03.02f02 installed onto the Hackintosh. Upon reboot and loading into Verbose, the system will show Sound assertion (slowly) and then gives me the issue of:

**** [IOBluetoothFamily][SearchForTransportEventTimeOutHandler] -- Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport!

It just hangs from here.

Currently using MacPro3,1 or iMac14,2 with: nvda_drv=1 GraphicsEnabler=yes

Any help would be appreciated.

GraphicsEnabler=No

So I tried this new line:
nvda_drv=1 GraphicsEnabler=no

and it has the same error.

I do notice that it now shows the NVDAStartup.

Not sure if using Clover makes any difference.

It does make a difference because GraphicsEnabler is not a Clover boot argument. Make sure you have Inject/Nvidia/False and you can remove the GraphicsEnabler flag all together.

Sorry, call me stupid but I don't know what you mean by Inject/Nvidia/False. Could you elaborate?

Actually an update.

I had to reinstall the OS in order to get it to boot. From there, I ran the 10.11.1 update via the Mac App Store and was able to successfully boot in.

I then installed the latest Nvidia Update, WebDriver-346.03.03f01.pkg

From there, I had Clover Configurator boot with nvda_drv=1 as the only setting/option enabled.

Boom!

Now on to testing for stability and what not. So far, so good!

It did not help. I can reinstall El Capitan but how can i sure what AppleGraphicsDeviceControl changes will be applied?
