mazarkill Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi ! - Did you first install the card under Windows ? - Did you put the card in the right PCIex port ? - Set the Bios parameters of the thunderbolt port : no Security, and bigger values of IO cache (less than 40 I think) Good luck !

Fljagd Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 WindowsSteps (Necessary only for ThunderboltexII)Step 1: Install newest Intel Thunderbolt drivers in Windows.

There is no hotplug support so device must always be plugged in prior to booting into MacOSx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobe80 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Frederic can you tell me which slot the card goes into, since you have the same board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobe80 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 i put it in the second X16 slot. it shows up in windows device manager, but the drive i plugged in isn't showing up. but the drive is a mac drive. though i have paragon to read it. but maybe the external is a raid or something that windows won't recognize. in any case, i tried booting into mac os and what happens is after clover boot screen the screen turns black. and if i hit enter or probably any key when it's black, it just goes back to clover boot menu as if nothing else was done.

kobe80 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 hmm i might have bad kexts. i used an app called Make Me Legacy that i saw somebody using somewhere, & supposedly it worked for them. i guess i need to find the right kexts. any suggestions?

kobe80 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 here's my KP screen. i see a reference to IOPCIFamily.kextshould i replace or patch this kext? Yosemite boots just fine with it, without TB connected. but if it needs to be replaced or altered for TB to work i just need to figure out what to do.

Fljagd Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 For the X99-A you need to remove 2 kexts in S / L / E TMSafetyNet.kext because the SMBIOS is MacPro5,1 IOBluetoothFamily.kext to avoid boot problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mork vom Ork Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have a similar problem: System boots fine with the Thunderbolt card not installed. I checked in Windows and yes, I can see the card and I even connected an external drive to it, and in Windows 8.1, the drive showed up. But OSXAptIOfix (Clover 3332) blows up if the card is installed, and they system won't load. I've had the same problem with my ASUS X99-E WS and i could only get it fixed with using the version of OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi attached to this post. Whenever i used the one installed with CLOVER, i will get the same error and system wont load. So give the attached one a try and replace the one pre-installed in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI...

Hi, What have you changed in the driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mork vom Ork Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi, What have you changed in the driver? I didn't change anything. Just found this one on a place, which name is not allowed to post here. I think it has some memorymapping changes, like it was discussed here: https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/tickets/125/?page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fljagd Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 ok, Okrasit had a change (#58)but a correction was made, since the memory allocation is done correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
