dgsga Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Can I propose a new subforum be created for the new OpenCorePkg OpenCore front end being created by vit9696 and others, it is a fantastic piece of work: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg Even at version 0.1 it runs my Mojave 10.14.4 setup very nearly flawlessly. It consists of a 10KB bootstrap BootX64.efi and a 200KB OpenCore.efi OS loader. All configuration is done using a very well documented config.plist 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgsga Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 The only issues I have so far are not being able to turn off efi verbose debug output during FV2 boot and the boot picker not showing one of my SATA SSD drives. Apart from that it works 100%. Reading the very comprehensive configuration PDF makes it easy to set up all drivers, kexts and device injection. The reason it appeals to me is that the code base is minimal and there’s no legacy cruft. Hats off to vit9696! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMheart Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Should we rename OpenCorePkg to something like OpenCore instead? (not referring to the repo itself on GitHub, but this sub-forum) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your're using automatic = NO be careful -> take time to fill all value. can u post your config.plist.

dgsga Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) @ Fabiosun If you set Automatic to No you can remove the 'Generic' dictionary from your config.plist. As Andrey1970 says, just fill in the other 3 fields carefully (DataHub, PlatformNVRAM and SMBIOS) using the data for your iMacPro1,1. That's some beast you've got there judging by your 'About This Mac' image! @Fred_Wst I applied your changes to my plist, it has helped but I still get a wee bit of console output Edited April 26, 2019 by dgsga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
