Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 rev3.3 (beginner)

[zeg66]

the CameraRaw update went fine but after the SecurityUpdate I have no internet and SystemPreferences->Network says "cable unplugged"....

the LED's on the Marvell ethernet socket are dark.

[MaLd0n]

mod kext, after all updates u need patched again Apple replace ur kext for lan and put original kext again

[zeg66]

Ok I need to understand this !!!

Naughty Apple put some original kext where?

And what is the name of the original kext I must delete?

 

All this time I haven't done *anything* to the S/L/E or L/E folders. Just Clover/kexts.

[MaLd0n]

REPLACE IN s/l/e

[zeg66]

Thank you, I did it. The offending kext was /S/L/E/IONetworkingfamily.kext and was overwritten by the one you just sent me.

 

There were some complaining messages but after ($sudo touch S/L/E), ($sudo kextcache -u /) and reboot now it's working again, phew!

 

Next issue: when I leave the computer for a few minutes, the screen goes blank and streaming audio stops. Is that normal for osx?

[MaLd0n]

No

disable auto sleep in SystemPreferences/EnergySaver

[zeg66]

In SystemPreferences->EnergySaver, ComputerSleep is all the way to the right (Never), DisplaySleep is at 10 minutes, PutHardDisksToSleep is off and WakeForEthernet is on.

[MaLd0n]

i think the problem is a display sleep, but is strange, is a video problem? i dont know

[zeg66]

That is not very important, maybe it's a motherboard thing.

 

Let's go back to kexts. I have noticed that kext (IONetworkingFamily.kext) exists in two locations: CLOVER/kexts/10.11 and /S/L/E

Are both read/executed, is there a precedence, I mean which is read/executed last and did Apple replace both?

[MaLd0n]

-replace in s/l/e

-remove from CLOVER/kexts/10.11

 

i think force kext to load work, but i never test option

[zeg66]

well I only replaced the kext in S/L/E and haven't removed the one in CLOVER/kexts/10.11 - now ethernet works fine.

 

so, is it safe to assume that whatever is in S/L/E gets read/executed last during the system boot process?

the reason I am asking is because I would like to create an "emergency" usb thumbdrive that contains Clover, the ElCap installer and the current CLOVER folder so, if the system gets messed up again, I could restore it to a running initial state.

Found this thread here:

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303631-sle-or-efi-for-kexts/

 

but nobody mentions the advantage of having all "extra" (and modified) kexts in CLOVER/kext/10.x folder for the sake of an emergency usb stick.

[MaLd0n]

use all kexts in Clover folder, but some kexts dont work there

[zeg66]

ok that is good to know. 

 

so once the system is running well, copy all kexts to S/L/E and take notes of all necessary kexts so if it breaks find them and replace them.

is this better?

[MaLd0n]

no, use all kexts in Clover/kexts.10.xx

 

S/L/E is a original Apple kexts/drivers

[zeg66]

Soon I may have an Apple 2.8 Ghz 8-Core Mac Pro 3.1 with 6GB ram, Nvidia 8800GT, no Wifi, no harddisk, a variant of this specification:

 

http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eight-core-2.8-2008-specs.html

 

Is that a good candidate for a hackintosh running Sierra?

[MaLd0n]

macpro3,1 lose support in sierra, but have sse4,1

u need follow it

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312659-guide-unsupported-real-macpro-works-with-sierra-example-of-real-macpro31/

[zeg66]

Thank you, I will study the guide. The heavy monster is here.

Hm, it appears that the method is for a macpro3,1 that already has ElCap running? This macpro has no harddisk so I have to start with a clean install, start with ElCap or use the 775 hackintosh?

[MaLd0n]

Use el capo in MacPro3,1, is a good system too

same installer work for Real Macs, just press "command" and boot

[zeg66]

Yes that is a good idea that doesn't complicate things too much, at least for now. Now, let's find an appropriate *mechanical* hard drive - I am not really a fan of ssd's, maybe it's my age :-)

[zeg66]

The i3 cpu is here working ok. What Clover settings shall I use and which kexts are needed in the beginning?

Would you like the (ubuntu made) DSDT?

[MaLd0n]

haha

SSD is mandatory

 

send me DSDT after install, np

 

wait

use it for install sierra, after send me files

1-Clover setup

2-Replace folder

CLOVER.zip

 

[zeg66]

ok I have a small sata3 120gb ssd free. let's use that one!

 

I have noticed on the Clover setup, you have chosen some "Drivers64UEFI" because the box is blue. Which drivers did you choose?

Can I use the "official" Sierra 10.12.3 installer? A friend gave me the InstallSierra.app on a flasdrive.

[MaLd0n]

for UEFI, other drivers

 

u need instal Clover in a flash drive and replace folder

[zeg66]

In the picture you sent, above, Drivers64UEFI.....53KB - you haven't expanded so I can see which drivers you selected, please do :-)

[MaLd0n]

in folder

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=227580

have all drivers u need
