Help installing Mojave on Xeon W-2175 and Asus WS C422 mobo

Hi @travisndiesing.

 

Try this config.plist as it is. Just fill in your SMBIO:s information.

I want to end the idea of using an apple-native Xeon W-21xx CPU in Hackintosh to avoid FakeCPUID and kernel patches.

Now it is known:

1) Hackintosh with Xeon W-21xxB also don't boot with stop on End Randomseed+++++++

2) Native Apple iMacPro  with regular Intel Xeon W-21xx(w/o "B") work perfect without any firmware or macOS changes.

 

Make the conclusions yourself

hi @yapan4

 

Could you please elaborate a little what you mean? I don't exactly understand what you are thinking.

Do you mean that it's not possible to use our not Apple branded processors natively or do you mean that they only could be used with FakeCPUID and kernel patch? 

[yapan4 28]

FakeCPUID and kernel patches are needed for properly boot Hackintosh with apple-native Xeon installed. Any difference with regular Xeon, both are not good. 

 

On native iMacPro1,1 also any difference - both apple and non-apple Xeon are good!

 

It does not help us a lot but at least something

Here is my EFI folder with the latest changes

EFI.zip

Note: My videocard - FirePro W7100 work native after adding DevID to kext plist and disabling AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy. Lilu+WG not needed after that.

Some comments to my topic above(on page 2) about boot macos with EmuVariable.efi instead of the AptioMemoryFix.efi - This is a known situation, but it probably has nothing to do with our problem. Explanations from developers here https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/331381-aptiomemoryfix/?do=findComment&comment=2661870

Just for clarification.

So what you say is that if we put an original Xeon W-21xxB from an original iMac Pro1,1 in to our Hackintosh we should need FakeCPUID and kernel patch?

At the same time if we put for example a regular Xeon W-2175 in an original iMac Pro1,1 it everything should work OOB?

Hi @obus and @yapan4

 

I would like to share my experience

time ago I have had a Xeon 2690 V2

It is from the same family of Xeon 2697 V2 and lower used in MacPro (trashcan for friend)

I have had to use a patched kernel to boot with it..

So same family does not mean automatically supported by OSX

I think this is also your case.

Yes, you understood right.

The conclusions about iMacPro with non-apple Xeon are based on these videos(i hope this is true information)

About apple-native Xeon on Hackintosh - the conclusions is based on this topic https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/c422-xeon-help-installing-osx-will-turn-into-guide-once-sorted.258090/post-1842856 and needs additional confirmation

Hi, @fabiosun

I agree and I'm glad you do not forget us.

Quite right @fabiosun and @yapan4.

I think we just have to wait and see what is coming up. If we are lucky it might be a similar processor in the new modular Mac Pro and if tha's the case it could be that our processors suddenly is being native and we can get rid of the patch.

 

For the moment I'm still happy anyway because I have a rock stable Hackintosh with unbelievable prestanda.

[yapan4 28]

Thank you all!

Good luck!

[obus 78]

Ok.

I have sent him a message again. The 2140b processor in original iMac Pro is natively supported by Mac OS Mojave. If you put this processor in a hackintosh you suddenly need both kernel patch and FakeCPUID. For me that must be a problem with Clover and not Mac OS Mojave.

[yapan4 28]

I do not know what to think... Developers assure that this is not a Clover problem.

Not macOS kernel problem,

Not CPU problem,

Not ASUS HW and BIOS problem.

 

So where's the problem ???

 

[obus 78]

Did you see the answer from Apianti here:

Hi @Sherlocks

 

Any new thoughts about this???

 

(Even on hackintosh build:s with original iMac Pro CPU:s Xeon W 2140b and ASUS C422 motherboard needs the kernel patch and fakeCPUID to boot.) 

 

Your CPU has an ID of 0x050654, where apparently the CPUs in iMacPros has the ID of 0x0506E4... You need the fake id patch because the xeons that are in iMacPros are apparently specially made and have a different identifier.

[yapan4 28]

Hmm..., And how this explains the situation with W-2140B Hackintosh?

[obus 78]

it doesn't at all. I can boot with fakeCPUID for both Broadwell H and different Skylake processor id as long as I have the kernel patch.

apianti claims that the id for original iMac Pro:s is 0x0506E4 because we use it for booting and he reads it from my boot.log.

 

This is exactly the same problem as for the X299 in the beginning.

Are you sure that these CPU info

from different CPUs? They are absolutely identical.

 

FakeCPUID 0x050654 for 0x050654 I've been trying a long time ago, there was no result. I will try again tonight on 10.14.5b2, 

also prepare some sysctl, DarwinDumper, Clover reports... 

Edited April 10, 2019 by yapan4

[obus 78]

here is a dump from an original iMac Pro1.1

iMac Pro Dumps.zip

0x050654 is not working neither 0x050652 witch according to piker alpha should be another CPUID for xenon w 21xxB.

Edited April 10, 2019 by obus

[obus 78]

the only difference is that the "Mac" CPU is called Pentiium d instead of Xeon.

Try to help and push apianti now on this thread:https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/?page=761

You is right. I pasted the same processor twice. But now I have edit it correct.
