EVGA SR-2

48 GB of RAM 
2 x Intel® Xeon® CPU E5649 @ 2.53GHz

Was working perfectly with Yosemite no DSDT using Clover.

Upgraded to El Capitan no problems(had to completely remove SLE and copy over contents from freshly installed El Capitan and fix permissions to boot), but now El Capitan reports 24GB of RAM and 9 total RAM slots, 6 populated x 4GB and 3 empty. 

While troubleshooting, I rebooted back to the USB installer and under system info I also have 24GB of RAM.

SMBIOS: Mac Pro 3,1

I attempted to changed SMBIOS but I get KP.

While booting I noticed the following:

mem_actual: 0x000000000
legacy_sane_size: 0xc0000000
RTC: Only single RAM bank (128 bytes)

Currently have audio, usb 2.0 , gfx, firewire, bluetooth and nic working.

Not working: USB 3, Incorrect RAM

Any advice as to what to try would be greatly appreciated.

I already tried to add memory slots in clover but I get a KP (could be doing something wrong if someone and comment on how to do it properly)

I attached some screenshots for reference.

Thanks guys, good luck to all with their upgrades!

Hi,

can you check your Activity Monitor on the Memory Page, down on the Physical Memory Page, what reports "Memory Used" and "Wired Memory" there?

 

I have also Memory Issues, only detects half of the Memory.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes it appears to be the exact same issue. 15,96 TB of Wire Memory. Did you find anything so far. From looking around it seems to be an issue with the boot loader not detecting the ram correctly. I think Revoboot mentions something about it. I was hoping that clover 3280 would fix it but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

I have a similar problem but with a x58 motherboard. 

see the topic : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308503-x58-motherboard-ram-problems-el-capitan/

Did you find any solution ?

Thanks

I found a solution (almost)


I've written this in the SMBIOS section of Clover's config.plist

<integer>1</integer>


<key>SlotCount</key>

</dict>


 


Everything is working now I have the right memory and activity monitor is ok but in "About this mac" the tab memory says there is no slots of memory ( see attachments )


Maybe I wrote config in a wrong way. What do you think about ?

Your config.plist needs an additional close tag dict.  

plutil config.plist
config.plist: Close tag on line 371 does not match open tag dict

In your config.plist the first Slot starts at 1, this needs to be 0.

Thanks BreBo,

I changed my config.plist but the "about this mac" problem persists.

I removed SMBIOS mac pro 3.1 too but it does not change anything

Thank you

Your config.plist is still not correct.

plutil config.plist
config.plist: Close tag on line 342 does not match open tag dict

Change 

</plist></dict>

Into 

</dict>
</plist>

After you have fixed the above, can you do a reboot and post your boot.log?

You can also open Terminal type bdmesg and post that output.
