I recently did a new build with a clean Sierra install on the hardware specified in my signature, all was working great. After some tinkering around I've decided that I want to replace my 2012 Mac Mini with this new build, but sleep & wake is a requirement, so I've installed a Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 2GB card. But no mather what I try, I can't get it to work, even after reinstalling Sierra the system stops booting when I connect my screen to the PCIe card and have the iGPU disabled.
I have tried several guides, changed the SMBIOS version, enabled / disabled the IGPU in the BIOS, enabled / disabled Inject Intel, etc. but am stuck at the HD630 for now... Someone with some bright ideas?

Verbose logging during boot shows that the systems halts with the (infamous) gIOscreenlockstate 3 icon_evil.gif
My EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other folder contains: AppleALC.kext, Lilu.kext, Shiki.kext, WhateverGreen.kext

 

Tried to boot with Shiki.kext removed, even disabled the bootargument shikigva=1, but makes no difference. Than tried with older Lilu and Whatevergreen releases, didn't change anything. Even disabled the DSDT Patch "change GFX0 to IGPU" also didn't make a difference... So still running the HD630...

 

This is my config.plist

Have you tried adding lilukext and whatevergreenkext to Clover/kexts/other folder? Also, in Sierra I think you still need to add the 0x67FF1002 to the 4150kext? It may be solved for Sierra 12.6. But I’m not sure. It’s been awhile since I tested a 560 card.

 

P.S. don’t worry you can get it to work you may need to do a little troubleshooting but it will work on your setup.

I already put Lilu & whatevergreen in the C/K/O folder, which doesn't work, I can try putting them in the S/L/E folder, that's /System/Library/Extensions, right?

Can I copy - paste them in there, or do I need to use Kext Wizard for it?

 

Edit: I've installed both kexts in de S/L/E folder with Kext Wizard, disabled all the Intel stuff, and... it didn't make a difference. Still stuck at the error during boot when booting from the RX560...

So, it seems that Clover injects the needed .kext. I would then first remove the installed .kext from /S/L/E ( so that you dont forget them to remove fur the future).

Perhaps ask others with similar config (HW)  if changing SMBIOS Mac Modell could help!

EDIT: If you use AMD you can disable NVIDIA Webdriver (at the end of clover config).

PS: Have you tried some unofficial Clover versions ? Often they make problems. But if your clover worked with other GPU than its OK.

I'm using a dual monitors setup with Asus Strix RX 560 4G in 10.12.6 and it's working fine with Lilu and Whatevergreen in S/L/E. :D

DVI or HDMI along with dp?

 

I recently did a new build with a clean Sierra install on the hardware specified in my signature, all was working great. After some tinkering around I've decided that I want to replace my 2012 Mac Mini with this new build, but sleep & wake is a requirement, so I've installed a Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 2GB card. But no mather what I try, I can't get it to work, even after reinstalling Sierra the system stops booting when I connect my screen to the PCIe card and have the iGPU disabled.

 

change your ig platform id to 0x59120003 instead of 0x59120000, that should make it boot. Also change inject kexts to Yes from Detect.

Hi,
 
why is WebDrives in your config.plist enabled?! 
 
 
From: 
        <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
        <true/>
To: 
        <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
        <false/>

change your SMBIOS to MacPro6,1 with boot arg's: -rad4200 -npci=3x0000
