Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

[amagyar]

Can u guys help me, I posted my problem here , started at 889. Finally I understood how to install clover and i followed the link i posted there but still have a same boot issue. Please help me out, I am trying to fix this over 3 days now
When I start Clover config.plist not found, so i do Mount EFi Partition, and import my saved configuration.
In that i did not mark "Inject Nvidia" and my cpu list empty.. , boot is Kext-dev-mode=1,
I have no idea what i suppose to do...

Here my post , started 889:

1: 3.0 usb doesn't work with my external hdd.

USB 3.0 is a know issue with ALL boards in El Capitan. See this thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-laptop-support/173616-guide-10-11-usb-changes-solutions.html

​

2: Can't boot without typing in nv_disable=1

Likely you aren't using the boot flag nvda_drv=1

​

3: vlc can't play any movies

You are booting with nv_disable=1 which disables all graphics acceleration

​

4: slow boot after nv_disable=1

This flag disables graphics acceleration, hence the slow boot
​

5: flashing screen when finally boot.

You are booting with nv_disable=1. This is a side effect of not having any graphic acceleration.​

Use iMac14,2 for your system profile. Using iMac15,1 will only cause you greater headaches and since you are inexperienced with Clover I won't get into kext patching.

In "About this Mac" it shows 0MB because you have Inject/Nvidia set to true, it needs to be false. You also need to add the boot flag nvda_drv=1 in order to boot with a Maxwell GPU and use the installed Nvidia Web Drivers.

Just a word of advice from a person who also makes a living on a computer... You should have made sure everything was up and running before selling your other working system. Slow down and do the reading, if you plan to use a Hackintosh as your main machine you are much better off learning how to fix things when something goes wrong. I spent months learning everything I could about Mackintoshes before building one to use as my main desktop after my Mac Pro died, and I am still learning.

I already did the kext patching , followed by the other post. I understand your point but it was a one time deal, so i had to sell my Mini
So you said use 14.2 instead of 15.1 in the clover configuration under SMBIOS Magic Wand ?
When tried to boot (but just cycles ) so i went to the settings to type in dv_disable1 it shows nvda_drv=1 as a boot order, so this is why i don't get it

I took a photo of it. Also when I clicked on SMBIOS it still shows 15.1!! And I changed with Clover Config, and clicked "file-save" so it didn't save it? I tried to run as 14.2...

Keep getting the "config.plist not found!" in Clover Configuration...

That means you aren't mounting the right EFI partition or Clover is installed in Legacy mode.

I installed the os with unibeast and finished with Multibeast. And I am not sure if i suppose to do that but because didn't work i installed Clover. I just noticed if i click on the top of the screen to the nvidia logo and chose os x default graphics driver than boots without problem, but video still messed it up. So it looks like doesn't matter what i save with clover, it boots because of the unibeast setting. So you right it is because i installed in Legacy? What should i do? uninstall clover and install it again? Do u have a link for the right steps?

How to mount the right EFI partition? I didn't find anything about it.

I checked diskutil list:


I would like to fix it with the gtx, but i don't even know where to start . Honestly aim so mad right now, i can't believe this is that difficult ... The reason i bought this config because others using a same so it shouldn't that hard..

I used step by step what this post said:

"Hello, I don´t know if it´s too late to answer.

I really was very simple. I just had to choose the correct SMBIOS for my motherboard and processor. (In my case: iMac 15.1); to my graphics card, do NOT select "Inject NVidia", and selecting "kext-dev-mode=1" in BOOT.

If your ID is iMac15.1 or MacPro6.1, you need follow this guide: (Problem 4) --> http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/1...-problems.html

Attached file config.plist standard for NVIDIA cards need not "inject":

I hope this information is valid for you."

And like you said doesn't matter what i do in clover config doesn't change at boot. Everything else sounds Chinese , i don't know how to fix the EFI part...

Sounds like you aren't editing the right config.plist or you aren't saving it.
