10.9.2 Hackintosh, NVidia GTX Titan/6xx/7xx - no UI loads at all?

[omni]

Any users out there that have a Titan or 6xx/7xx on their hackintosh and have installed 10.9.2 beta?

I get a grey screen and pointer, so after booting into safe mode I noticed these weird errors I've never seen before:

kernel[0]: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! Exception type = 0x8 DMA Engine Error (FIFO Error
kernel[0]: 4443564e 00000108 9a02943e 261e5073 00000001 00000014 d3793533 46d3a4a6

780 GK110B here.
10.9.2 13C32 behaves very similar to 10.9.1 and works.

[netkas]

titan on macpro with 10.9.2 works fine.

[omni]

Thanks for the replies, guys.

@malaxor,

Is that on a real Mac or a hackintosh?

@netkas,

Do you think this could be hackintosh related issue since you are on a Mac Pro and not seeing it happen? I'm really not running any special configurations, but I do have both Titan and GTX 480 in this system.

I reinstalled 10.9 from scratch on a spare partition, applied the 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 beta and I'm still getting the same problem so it can't be some file corruption issue.

My hackintosh also works with a 780 rev B (minus opencl). I know of plenty of others on 770s (no issues) and 780s no issues and other 780 rev Bs that have just the opencl one.

hackintosh.

[omni]

Darn it, so why am I the only one to have problems with a GTX (Titan) and 10.9.2.

I tried disconnecting my second card and booting up. GUI eventually showed up but it was painfully slow to use.

[mysticalos]

You supplying good power? Is card in correct slot?

[omni]

You supplying good power? Is card in correct slot?

It's a hackintosh with a 1500W PSU, never had any power problems in 10.9 before. Nothing else has changed between OS ver.

[mysticalos]

I recently had nvidia kind of unhappy i overclocked uncore and had to turn it back down, is this something you've considered? is uncore or BLCK overlocked, anything that'd affect PCI?

[omni]

It's a stock ASUS GTX Titan, water cooled. Did not touch the ROM at all.

The only thing I can think of that might affect PCI would be Gen2 vs Gen3 setting on the slot in my BIOS, so I'll give that a try (I'll drop it to Gen 2). Thanks for the suggestion.

[mysticalos]

You didn't change the stepping from 100mhz though? or uncore? Or is it all factory for most part?

[mysticalos]

Actually, did it work fine prior to 10.9.2 beta?

I'm actually starting to see erratic behavior too and it could be 10.9.2 driver. what I'm seeing is this.

Dec 30 04:56:01 Omega-4 kernel[0]: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel timeout!
Dec 30 04:56:01 Omega-4 kernel[0]: NVDA: Unable to make context resident prior to adding drawable to channel!

[omni]

Everything is factory default and I have not had any erratic behaviour in 10.9 at all.

Perhaps it is the driver issue and I can only hope they fix it because else I have a doorstop. What good is a workstation without a display...bah.

[malaxor]

Why not try the older driver see if it solves it?
