Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

[sjoseph]

I am also having some weird issue with NVIDIA graphics driver...



My configuration is



X99-UD4 with 32GB DDR4 and GTX 970 and I am on OSX 10.11.5 my issue is I can't get screen with nvda_drv=1 boot arg. I have to use nv_disable=1 to get to desktop...and no chipset / display driver..



I have tested several methods but no success,



first I did it with boot-arg: slide=0 npci=0x2000 nvda_drv=1 kext-Dev-Mode = 1 system definition is mac pro 5,1

No success

secondly I reinstalled OSX then installed web driver done AGDP fix changed configuration to mac pro 6,1

No success

Then I flashed latest bios but no success, I changed graphics card to 750ti for test purpose still no success.

Then I installed windows 8.1 installed graphics drivers to see if any issues with motherboard but everything works ok..but when I boot into OSX at the end of boot black screen and check connection warning on screen.

about mac shows 7Mb display

I am using latest clover..and injecting, FakeSMC, IntelMausiEthernet, NullCPUPowerManagement, VoodooTSCSync

I tried with kext-Dev-Mode = 1 but no success,

what may be the issue any ideas??

Thanks

Do you have Nvidia Injection turned on? If so, turn it off.

 

[sjoseph]

No injection at all...

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking.

Sry, I'll try to simplify,
These are two parts in fact:
The first one is when i install El Capitan 10.11.5 it is iMac 14,2 by default....with MultiBeast i do post installation and change system definition to Mac Pro or iMac whatever...than i eject installation USB and restart, system reboot itself with Clover and all is good. Now i install nVidia driver and the problem begin when i restart again. Monitor goes to sleep at the end of the boot sequence (i try with inject nVidia and without it, all other flags in Clover configurator, with DVI and HDMI cable). The only way to boot system again is throu my installation USB and than system reboot normally with nvidia driver installed. No logic...

If we solve that we go to the second part xd.

Nvidia injection should always be false for a GTX 970. Make sure your config.plist located on the EFI partition contains the boot flag nvda_drv=1. You should be fine using DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort. Avoid using adapters to go to VGA.

Use Clover Configurator to mount the EFI partition and open the config.plist located in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/. You can make any edits using that tool, including changing the SMBIOS. If you want you can post your config.plist from there and I can take a look.

Hi Jim,

I just update my hackintosh to OS X 10.11.5 and installed the new nvidia web drivers, When i did this i got the same problem as before: Problem #4, So i tried to fix it the same way as i did before with method #3, but when i type in the first command my terminal gives me a empty space with one row of text (see picture)

I also tried method #1 and #2 but they both didn't worked.
My nvidia web driver is version:346.03.10f02

I hope you can help me out, Kota

I would try re-installing the drivers and then use method #2 which is the same thing as method #3 just done with a script.

TYVm..I managed to solve the problem so I did not install the eSATA driver and I didn't mark inject nVidia Graphics Configuration in the bar ... and now when i boot from SSD it works. The 2nd part is irrelevant and ill handle by myself...again ty 4support!

Hi Jim,

Thanks for helping me out, I don't no why but this time it worked! Thanks a lot for spending some time on my post.

Greetings Kota.

Hello! Excuse my English, I am using a translator. After installing the Web driver, sometimes an error occurs during system startup. This does not always occur,approximately 50% to 50%. I changed the model on iMac 14.2, but the problem has not been solved.
