AmigaOS Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I just built a new Hackintosh to replace one I built several years ago that is currently running 10.10.5. The old system works fine but just wanted something new and faster. The hardware used in the new build: ASRock A88M-G/3.1 Motherboard AMD 880k CPU EGVA 500 watt supply 8 GB AData ram PNY SSD Now for the problem - I installed 10.10.5 with no problems. Added appropriate kernel, fakeSMC.kext etc. Used Enoch bootloader. Boots fine using flags - IGPEnabler=N, GraphicsEnabler=No, npci=0x3000 and nv_disable-1. It will not boot any other way. This of course boots with no QE/Qi and other than that it does work and works fast (other than no QE/Qi). Boots in 10 seconds or less and is rock solid. The 880k CPU has no graphics APU and the integrated graphics on the MB is disabled. If I use nvda_drv=1 it will boot with QE/QI enabled but everything is in slow mo. If you click on anything you get a beachball for 20-30 seconds before anything happens. Even trying to select something from a pull down menu gets the same results. Launching Safari takes minutes. I tried other boot flag combos with no help. I also tried the nvidia web drivers and got the same thing. I tried installing El Capitan and it did the same thing exactly so I reinstalled 10.10.5. I tried using Clover but could never get it to boot. Tried 3 video boards: MSI GT710 ASUS 8400GS Zotac GT210 The last 2 work correctly OOB in my old Hackintosh running 10.10.5. Haven't tried the GT710 there yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. PS: A less pressing problem is the Realtek RTL8111G-R doesn't work, always says "cable unplugged". I tried about 12 different kext and get pretty much the same thing from each. Also, all the hardware works flawlessly under Leap 42.1 LINUX. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmigaOS Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Never-mind, This ended up fixing most of it even though I am not using an FX cpu: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/354-amd-replace-kext-for-yosemite/ Only problem is now the serial number is "unknown" so that will cause problems with some things. But it did also fix the Ethernet problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Fathy Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 That's exactly my problem now. The only way to solve the nasty GPU issues was to replace these kexts. Now, the serial number is gone due to modified AppleACPIPlatform kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
