Causing Kernel Panick in Hackintosh 10.12.3 #19

Closed rowild closed 7 years ago

Hi,

I tried to use your script on the above mentioned system (specs below, running stable) to get this PCIe card running: http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/products/flash-storage/client-ssd/ http://geizhals.at/samsung-ssd-pm961-1tb-mzvlw1t0hmlh-00000-a1486269.html

The PCIe card is recognised in the BIOS, but nowhere within mac OS X Sierra (no DiskUtility etc).

Following various threads on tonymacx86, I found this script, followed the process to generate a Hack kext for 10.12.3 and installed it using "Kext Wizard" (and corrected permissions). After reboot, the card is still not recognised by OSX. And after 2, 3 more reboots, a kernel panic disrupts the boot process of the system.

I remove the kernel panic by following this guide (unfortunately I do not know how to hold the screen at that point, so I cannot post a screenshot; all camera images are blurry... but it does mention "IOUSBFamily" in the track back, which I also need to remove first, see below): https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-remove-extra-clover-bios-boot-entries-prevent-further-problems.175274/

Then I start OSX from USB, cd into /Volumes/System/Library/Extensions/ on the Hackintosh built and remove the Hack kext AND the above mentioned IOUSBFamily.kext (by renaming the latter to 'IOUSBFamily.kext.bck').

After that, the system can be restarted again. I also rename the IOUSBFamily.kext.bck to its original name again, and everything keeps working. (I should mention that even before renaming the file back to its original, all USB devices worked, be it keyboard, mouse, PSU (which is recognised by IORegistryExplorer)... that makes me wonder, if that particular kext was actually ever inactive...)

This is repeatable, but I never checked, if it is really necessary to rename the IOUSBFamily.kext, to be honest. I will next time and update my post here. Promised :-)

(However: I still don't know, how to activate my PCIe card... which is not the primary intend of posting this issue, though...)

My Hackintosh specs: Gigabyte Z170x UD5 TH Intel i7 6700K NVidia 970 Windforce SanDisk Ultra II 960GB 32 GB RAM

I do not know if this is of any use. If not, just ignore. Thank you!

It is clear you didn't follow README instructions... See class-code spoof guide linked by README.

I followed those instructions exactly and read through tons of threads. How come you say I didn't follow the instructions clearly?~

OK, newbie-me. I try again.
But admittedly, the structure of the Readme is confusing. "Usage" is listed last, but changes for before that is irritating. I suggest a better structure and a clear guide for Sierra.

Thanks!

Your responsibility to read carefully. Read entire README before acting. Don't rush. Use the class-code spoof. Guide is linked by the README.
