bill10 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi guys, I am trying to put Sierra on my T7810 but failed. I appreciate your help. This is my PC Dual Intel Xeon Processor E5-2620 v4 64GB (4x16GB) 2400MHz DDR4 RDI MM ECCNVIDIA Quadro M4000 8GB (4 DP) (1 DP to SL-DVI adapter)Motherboard: unknown This is what I did. I created usb using terminal. Then installed clover to usb. The clover boot menu shows up. But when I click "install mac os from...", it shows something like "Using reloc... yes Hibernate... no" and another line of +'s. Then I downloaded the boot packages from this forum and replaced EFI folder. Still got same results but with one more line of +'s. I saw many people have managed to install mac os to their workstations. Could you share with me your experience? Or could let me know which boot package is used? It seems I couldn't find one for Precision Towers. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 26, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2016 You'll probably have to make up your own boot pack. All you need to begin with is the FakeSMC kext (it's mandatory). Thereafter, you look for drivers that handle your hardware elements (LAN, audio, wireless, etc.). You're also going to have to configure Clover according to your system. Your Workstation is based on a Broadwell platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill10 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thank you for the reply. I think you hit the nail on the head. Could you point me to a tutorial on configuring Clover. I googled configure clover broadwell but haven't found much. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 26, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2016 There should not be much really. Look for builds of similar specs or post a zipped copy of the EFI folder of your EFI partition and we'll have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill10 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 After some research this afternoon, I finally get passed the +'s. Now I am stuck at [ PCI configuration begin ] AMFIL. I did two things: 1. Add NullCPUPowerManagement.kext 2. kernel cpu support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill10 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 try Enable npci=3000 Progress! I did npci=0x3000 and it flies over all the texts. Now I am stuck at the following screen with apple logo and a progress bar. Any thoughts? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
