Flint Ironstag Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello All, first post, hope I'm in the right forum. I'm here to document my build from start to finish and see if it's viable for me to personally build and maintain a handful of these for a project. At least until Apple release a new Mac Pro. Z820 non v2 BIOS 2 Xeon E5-2687W (8 core 3.1GHz) BIOS J63 v03.94, 7/10/2018 32GB RAM DDR3 RX 580 GT 1030 HP Thunderbolt 2 card 240GB SSD (Windows) 1TB SSD (Mojave) 2 300GB 15k spinners for misc. handful of USB drives for booting, images, etc. I tried bare metal with ESXi but it kept hanging on install. If this goes well, and we finally get Nvidia drivers, I have a couple of GTX 1070s ready to replace the 580. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luser01 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Did you ever find a solution to this? The 2667 and 2687 have an odd issues. I am stuck trying to get my 2667's working, been banging my head for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint Ironstag Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 No progress, although to be fair I've been just reading and trying stuff. Haven't posted to ask the experts for help. Background: I need Macs with GPU power to do some forensic work. I paid to have similarly specced Z820 Hackintoshed for the office. It is fast as hell! I wanted to test the feasibility of hackintoshing and maintaining a fleet of them myself. Obviously a no go - too much time and tinkering so far. I'd have to go the paid route again (if I can find the guy). Have you tried ESXi 6.7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint Ironstag Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Update: I had some more time to tinker with this and finally got it booted to the desktop. A lot of things don't work: ethernet, audio, thunderbolt, internal storage (booting from SSD on USB2). But it's progress. Now I'm this far I'll get reorganized today and seek some help. What kind of problems are you having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint Ironstag Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Holy cow that fixed a bunch of stuff. Thank You! I have to run out shortly but will take a deeper look tonight and do some more reading to see what I can fix. Things working now: - Asus usb wifi adapter - ethernet port 0 - airplay to Apple TV - rear USB3 ports Things kinda working: - firewire 400 both ports front & rear (isight & external drives light up, but OS doesn't see them) Things definitely not working: - headphone jacks - ethernet port 1 - front USB3 ports - PS/2 port for my mechanical keyboard (man I wonder if I have an adapter somewhere) - any kind of system sound - only airplay works - HP Thunderbolt 2 card GeekBench single 2244 multi 31705 Right in the pack with iMac Pro 8 core and nMP 12 core on multi core I am stoked! Will make a list and tackle these one at a time. Thanks a million! If I can get this sorted, I may treat myself to a barebones Z840 and build it up. Thanks again!

Flint Ironstag Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 OK I went through the steps to verify that I have Realtek ALC262 for my own benefit. I open the resources folder and have layouts: 7,11,12,13, and 28. I tried 7 first and rebooted. That gave me sound from the internal speaker, but not from any of the jacks. I will try the other 4 before moving on to your next steps. Thanks again. Added in 10 minutes 33 seconds: OK layout 11 worked! I will run Hackintools next and post that export. Thank You! Added in 22 minutes 42 seconds: From Hackintools PCI tab export:  pcidevices.txt  Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint Ironstag Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thanks, I will try it and let you know. I have not done anything with the DSDT.aml.zip file you sent me yet as I'm not sure where it goes. I'm reading and learning as we go! [edit] firewire rear port is working for hard drives, but the isight is not recognized. It's the original one. Maybe it's not supported in Mojave. No big deal as I have a modern Logitech. Man, there's a lot of details to get right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
