  • Does Oz understand Xeon CPU's and how to make it work?

    Zitat von griven

    Okay. About your Bios Settings please make sure that CSM Mode is active for the moment also make sure Secure Boot is disabled. The black Screen issue normally is an issue when the Bios and/or OZ fails to initialize the selected primary GPU. Also disable any FastBoot settings in Bios as well.


    From what i did:
    1) rechecked bios setting, toggled on CSM mode On. Here are screens on what my bios setting are now:


    2) I cant make it work because even after NVRAM flush I have blinking color screens, reboot, and freeze. Shell is not booting, nothing related to OZ not working.
    Here is the video of how it looks:

    It's definitely not motherboard or hardware components, because I switched motherboard already.
    Maybe someone had same problems?

  • Does Oz understand Xeon CPU's and how to make it work?

    griven - I flashed made by you Z97XUD3H_HighSierra_Unsolid.10b , it went partly good. From my previous experience, after a flash, I can hit "del" or "f12" and after go to bios setting or boot menu, but if after boot I won't hit some of this buttons - bios loading screen would freeze and the only reboot would help.
    After flashing the bios I went to "del" and fixed settings chose my primary graphics to load - PCI 1 and saved the setting.
    On new boot, I flushed nvram.
    After reboot, no usual Oz spashcreen, only freeze.
    Making reboot with button, hitting f12 afterward.
    In the boot menu, I have clover if I check to boot directly to macros - black screen and even HDD activity led on system block not blinking.
    I don't know much but seems that Oz, not even initiating.
    After booting from clover there is OZ folder in EFI, but it's only folders.
    So I gave a try to load kexts from clover and try with that - nothing, same black screen.
    Took defaults you provided with roms, it's blank, but to understand whats wrong decision to go with verbose, but not verbose.
    At this point, I don't know where to dig, because it seems that Oz just not loading.


    This is Oz folder from EFI:

    Maybe someone encountered something similar, or I'm just making it all wrong?

    Please keep in mind that most available OZ ROM´s are bare bones they are created to support the minimal available configuration of each motherboard.
    OZ does not mean that there is no configuration to be done. Wether Oz It's self neither we know your specific setup so you have to work on your own defaults.plist order to make it work properly...


    For example OZ has advanced support for NVIDIA graphics but this support is limited to Kepler and maybe Fermi based Cards using OZ's Nvidia Injector with Maxwell oder Pascal based Cards will lead to instand kernel panics in macOS which is why we have disabled this feature by default. Since OZ was designed to work on IvyBridge and maybe SandyBridge Plattform Intel Graphics maybe an Issue as well. IvyBridge (HD4000) injections normally works fine but for Haswell and above you need to provide a matching IGPlattformID (Integer) to make it work as intended...


    All in all it's highly recommended to build your on defaults.plist matching your given settings before you use any pre build OZ rom's since their build in defaults are meant to meet the lowest common denominator to be as compatible as possible.


    Im fully aware of that, config is needed in any case. Also I'm understanding that my knowledge about this topic is limited by open information and guides, so maybe this is the bottleneck before working hack.
    Before current config, i had z87hd3 and i5 4670k with msi r9 280x, but gpu suddenly died, after that in a year motherboard driver near cpu died and fried almost everything on that board, so i need to but new rig. But, with that config - Oz was flying like real mac, UI never had anything glitchy or a little bid slow.
    So as there no Oz for more newer bards, i decided to go with z97 (because i saw people on forums, ho have oz working fine on their configs) and bought Xeon CPU, because, well, i won a lot on ebay with lol price. I set it up, and the guy took it. Before it came i thought that would be a scam, but, nope, fully working silicone stone.
    After i had problems, because my config was z97hd3 with Xeon e3 1245v3 and i couldn't make cpu graphics work okay. So bought gpu, hex 1050 ti, and every damn time after i flash bios and this graphics card was in motherboard - after boot beep screen was frozen, keyboard not working and all what could help - reboot.
    I've tried couple times, but eventually went on "there must be a hardware problem" (because GA support suggested that socket is damaged), so i wanted ti test it, and took it to the repair shop where they have device to check all pins at once for short. But those geese's dropped damn screwdriver right into damn socket. Even after they repaired it, motherboard was unstable, so i went and bought another one. It was GA-Z97X-UD3H (rev 1.1). i've just finished with clover config, i really want to try with Oz and this board.
    So if you can help with default's plist, about finding IGPlattformID - it would be really fantastically amazing.

  • Does Oz understand Xeon CPU's and how to make it work?

    Well, the main question is in there.
    Recently i could not make Xeon E3 1245v3 under Oz, so i moved to clover for some time.
    But on the other side, i didn't managed to find the answer and I'm not even close to engineer level of understanding how it works.
    Maybe someone had experience of making it work, so please, guide me or educate :)


    Current config is:
    Intel Xeon E3-1245v3
    GA-Z97X-UD3H (rev 1.1)
    MSI GTX 1050Ti Gaming X

  • 10.13 gtx 1050ti and ga z97hd3 problem.

    Sorry for late reply,
    That motherboard been working unpredictably, so when i was messing wth cooling - pins been damaged and even after the repairs it was still working not okay. Because when i put graphics card in it - it freezes even before the boot (in bios) and as I not good into understanding Ozmosis and how in works under the hood - i went and bought new motherboard z97x-ud3h, currently trying to make it work with Xeon Cpu and clover. Maybe after would go for Ozmosis once again.

  • 10.13 gtx 1050ti and ga z97hd3 problem.

    Good day,
    I've encountered a problem with oz and z97hd3.
    While I mod bios with oz (or using one from forum) it working like it should be, until I install msi gtx 1050ti. After bios flash process, after first boot, the motherboard just freez. Nothing helping except power btn reboot.
    My current rig:
    Xeon e3 1245 v3
    Z97hd3 (v2)
    Msi gtx 1050ti
    This rig works with windows 10 without a problem, clover - so far so good, but any kind of oz- nope.
    Before what I did:
    Tried update cpu micro codes with bios.
    Update graphics card GOP drv
    Contacting gigabyte support, they suggested that this is a socket problem. While people from service were inspecting socket screwdriver fall into the socket, so they repaired couple bend pins. Rig still working with windows 10 without a problem.
    So now I'm out of options, ready to buy new motherboard.
    The reason I'm asking about this, is only about that I want to know, this is hardware problem, or some parts are not supported? Maybe someone encounter similar problems, or this is z97 chipset problem. Tomorrow I will meet the guy with z97x-ud3h, so before purchase it, I would like to know, will it work.
    Thank you!

  • 10.13. High Sierra mit Ozmosis

    Even with new Ozm new kext injector and APFS?
    So the only way is to use clover for installation and then use Oz. Is there any instructions about "how to make clover distro" to install 10.13?
    My specs are:
    CPU - Intel® Core™ i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz
    MB - Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 ALC892 codec

  • RX 460 not working

    On Inmac forum i found this:

    Zitat

    rx cards do work but you must bin patch the x4100 kext and put it in the macos folder and edit the info.plist in ether fakesmc or applealc kext. my rx480 worked via this method same for pavo


    So i made my own fakesmc and after @stehor send me in dm on inmac ready to use fakesmc (basicly you copy graphic card section from amd4100kext to fakesmc and that should make it work), but not for me.
    So if anyone who have RX460 and OZ as boot loader can check this method - i will be happy to know the results.
    I still have the problem, if someone already defeated the problem - share how you did it.
    p.s. i didn't tried ssdt/dsdt because i don't know how exactly make proper ssdt, if someone would guide me - that would be fantastic.
