I found references to some of the strings in Clover files. The next challenge is to work out if there's any way to boot from my LSI 9201-8i (2008 controller) card? I do not have a UEFI BIOS, and I am not sure if that's a problem.ĮDIT: It's not the motherboard, it's Clover generating this screen. I could get a basic Syba card or something, but that'd be a shame when I have powerful LSI cards just gathering dust on a shelf

It'd be great to get an LSI controller working as I now have three 6GB/s SSDs, and my motherboard only has two SATA3 ports. I'd be most grateful if anyone could tell me if I've done something wrong - or not done something I need to - or otherwise help me debug this. But clearly something is broke if it's doing this, and maybe that means that I would get this KP on boot if the kexts weren't Loadable=No. I could capture this I suppose to a text file I suppose. It displayed some text first, but too quick for me to see before everything went back. I also tried: sudo kextutil -v /System/Library/Extensions/AstekFusion2Adapter.kext and got a KP.

I don't know how to verify for sure it's activated.ģ. Maybe my kext-dev-mode=1 is not working? I enabled it in Clover config, under Boot - it is one of the predefined options. And again, System Report showed the two extensions as Loaded=No, Loadable=No, and again said they had Signature Validation Errors = Not Signed. This didn't give a KP, but it still didn't work with either card (9201-8i and 9205-8e). Then I tried copying them to /System/Library/Extensions. This resulted in a KP on boot when an LSI was installed, but not if it wasn't. First I copied the files - AstekFusion2Adapter.kext and AstekFusion2Family.kext - into EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other .

The drivers uploaded by kurbads, labelled as being for 2308 cards. I don't know if this a problem, given I do have kext-dev-mode=1?Ģ.

However I do note that in System Report that as well as Loadable=No, it says 'Signature Validation Errors: Not Signed'. I have added kext-dev-mode=1 to my Clover boot settings, as per instructions for 10.10 and later. This boots OK, but I see no card or drives, and System Report shows 'SASMegaRAid' as Loaded=No and Loadable=No. Installed MegaSAS package mentioned in the OP.

I have tried two different PCIe 2.0 x8 slots, just to rule that out as a potential cause.ġ. I have tested both with a drive connected to the card, and with no cables connected. The LSI cards are known to be working fine. Both are on the latest available FW (version 20), and both are in IT mode (non-RAID). I am testing with two LSI cards: an LSI 9205-8e (2308 controller) and an LSI 9201-8i (2008 controller). I'm on macOS 10.13.3 using the latest Clover (4411). I've tried both the OP MegaSAS package, and the Antek*.kext files uploaded as '2308 drivers' by kurbads. Or I'm doing something wrong - which is very likely. I'm trying to get an LSI 92XX (non-MegaRAID) card working in my Hackintosh, and unfortunately I'm not quite so lucky.
