When using Nvidia Web Driver with a MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G, I randomly get Error allocating 0x800 pages at boot time in verbose mode.
I couldn’t fix this issue.

I’ve tried to replace OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi by OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi without success: I then always get Error — requested memory exceeds our allocated relocation block .

Tested using Clover v2.3k r3766 (packaged with MultiBeast 9.0.1), r3974 and r3998.

Suggestions to fix this issue:

I have a fix for the 0x800 boot issue you’ve been having. Use driver OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi but to fix the issue with that you need to edit RtVariables in your config.plist and change the value which reads 0x3 to 0x67 — that will fully turn off SIP but fix the memory allocation issue.

My solution is different but I also tried what is mentioned in the post you linked and it did not work on my config (P8Z68-V/GEN3 /w 16GB of RAM).

I had to edit source code of OsxAptioFixDrv and compile it manually with changed just one variable:
line 188 in latest release: Addr = 0x100000000; // max address
changed to: Addr = 0x300000000; // max address

What I’ve read about the origin of this problem is that latest graphic cards (I have a 970 as well) allocate a lot of memory for VBios and thus Clover is not able to find empty spot up to address 0x100000000 for kernel (you can read a bit about it there: link).
If you have plenty of RAM you can simply adjust the max address that the allocation method will look for empty block.
For me it works 100/100 times. Note that I tripled the initial value. It might be the case that you will need to simply double it. I have 6 HDDs connected and plenty of USB devices and from what I’ve read each of these devices may allocate some RAM for their firmware during boot-up process.

I have installed successfully El Capitan with Clover EFI bootloader, but I got randomly the boot error : «error allocating pages at message». I need to restart PC and try again until it works.

How can I fix this to make sure that every time booting works?

I attached following files :

+ Clover — Config.plist
+ DSDT.aml (Asus Sabertooth P67 — BIOS rev. 3602) — Patched HPET,SMBUS with no Errors — working with Sandy Bridge i5 2500k (4,3Ghz overlocked and enabled VT-d)

Thanks, this helped me I changed OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi to OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi . Changing vboxhfs to hfsplus efi driver made the booting sequence much faster then before.

I’m back with new hardware (sold my notebook and build a desktop pc for easier hackintosh installation) but got other problems now.
I’ve already updated my hardware information in my profile.

For now I’m not able to get to installer on my Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X Mainboard. I get the following error:

I’ve created the installation usb stick with createinstallmedia-command and install clover on in.
In clover I’ve added the driver «OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000» (read in some forums that gigabyte mainboards need this one) and the FakeSMC-Kext for now.
I did not modifed any other parameter in config.plist.

See current EFI in attachments.

I hope you guys can help me to get mojave running on this hardware. I have already seen lots of builds with similar boards (not exactly the Gaming X model).
