MSI X99A Godlike Carbon

Intel 6850k
Graphics
Dual EVGA GTX 780 ti
MSI X99A Godlike Carbon
Intel I7 6850k (Broadwell-E 6/3.6Mhz)
Dual EVGA GTX 780ti


Yosemite


Unibeast Method:
which includes patched kernel & voodooTSCsync.kext added


Bios:
Updated to newest
Disabled vt-d


Boot Flags Used (in various combinations);
nv_disable=1, npci=0x2000, npci=0x3000, dart=0, cpus=1, kext-dev-mode=1, -x, -f, -v, PCIRoodUID=1, GraphicsEnabler=1



All combinations used have led to either;

White Apple Logo Screen Freeze (no loading bar or mouse/keyboard movements)

or

Black Screen when using Verbose boot flag (no screen capture can be made as it scrolls/changes too quickly)



Possible Problems;

Incompatible hardware with current booloader software?
Boot Flags?
Missing/Not Up To Date Kexts?
Bios Settings?
Bad Yosemite Installer file?

or am i overlooking something else entirely?
is there a better installation process? or should unibeast method be suffice?
 
Build:
Yosemite <--should I consider El Capitan, or should Yosemite be more solid
MSI X99A Godlike Carbon <--VT-d disabled, Bios up to date (any other settings? most typical settings used elsewhere aren't available)
I7 6850k (6 x 3.6Mhz) <--any special requirements? using VoodooTSCsync.kext (for 6-core compatibility)
EVGA GTX 780 ti (dual, quad in future) <-- tried singlularly and dual (both same results), nv_disable=1 used


*Straight unibeast results in black screen with verbose, and white apple logo with other boot flags without verbose.

*Clover install (from what i gathered from forum threads) seems to point to Config.Plist errors. <-- where should i start with creating this for my system (it seems other plists are pretty bare bones)
UEFI vs Legacy?
MBR vs GUID? (tried both)
Tried various clover EFIs inserts (any tips for minimum requirements?)
Kexts (VoodooTSCsync, FakeSMC) (others? remove?)

bit lost, not sure if i'm one step away or have to redo everything from scratch.
tips on which avenues to dedicate towards would be helpful.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO:

OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for .IABootFiles\boot.efi
Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no
efiboot loaded from device: Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1A|0/Usb(0, 0)/Usb(1, 0)/HD(Part2,Sig3E064DBF-A82B-41F0-A313-7FC5323F5009)
boot file path: IABootfiles\boot.efi
..Error loading kernel cache (0xe)
Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before existing…

Any thoughts?
 
Removed Clover Boot Options & Restarted,

it listed the same error then;

.....................................
root device uiid is 'CD72465C-9577-30F7-9378-A6BE4F9770B9'
Error allocating 0x11bc6 pages at 0x000000001c41d000 alloc type 2
Couldn't allocate runtime area
Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before existing...
 
ive now reset efi 64 files

"error loading kernel cache 0xe"
 
Try this boot with clover
#remove DSDT
#remove any wifi kexts
#press tap boot with verbose mode

thanks for the tips nmano, ill give it a try
(you mean 'verbose' mode? i run that as a boot flag anyway)
 
Try this boot with clover
#remove DSDT
#remove any wifi kexts
#press tap boot with vervece mode

you dont think much should be done with the config.plist?
