[pre-release] macOS Catalina

[arsradu]

If this is a real MacPro 2010, for Mojave, you can use dosdude1's patcher. But...indeed, there doesn't seem to be one for Catalina...yet. Not sure if you can install Mojave and then update to Catalina. Not sure if that will work. Never used it. So...I don't know.

 

But anyway, as Mat said, we would need to know more about that hardware first.

New installation can be successful, but the kernel panic when data is restored through Time Machine.

I am using a fake ec device (Z170x) and am having the same issue, no more AppleBusPowerControllerUSB in ioreg on Catalina. I haven’t tested other versions of macOS as I’m only running 10.15.

The EC device is in ioreg it’s just missing its entry for AppleBusPowerControllerUSB.

I have a same  issue  too AppleBusPowerController  is missing in ioreg on catalina beta 9 but didn't appear such a issue in Mojave  i think that apple something changed on Catalina beta 9

Read the backtrace, it's clearly the sata system driver that crashes, probably just because you booted out of a drive attached to a non proprly configured or supported sata controller

I want to know how to fix this problem.

This happened to me when I installed Catalina.  For me, I had a kext in ~/Library/Extensions that was causing the problem.  I don't recall the name of the kext but it had AHCI in its name.

Beta 9 on HP ProBook 6570b all is working fine Included Bluethoot and trackpad

For all involved...

 

Apple has seen fit with Catalina to KILL OFF all prior Mac Pros!  The LATEST OS for a Mid-2010 Mac Pro 5,1 is Mojave.

 

NOW, can Catalina be "forced" onto a 5,1???  I'm sure someone will find a way to do it, BUT will it be stable???

 

Take the Mac Pro 5,1 to Mojave, (sans ANY NVIDIA Cards), and be happy to get it that far.  Mine is on High Sierra, AND will stay that way because of my need to HAVE to have NVIDIA Cards for CUDA Number Crunching for SETI@Home.

当我安装Catalina时，这发生在我身上。对我而言，我在〜/ Library / Extensions中有一个kext引起了问题。我不记得kext的名称，但是它的名称是AHCI。

Are you fuison dreve? Are there any specific solutions?

Is this standard? Cause I've seen it before. And I just don't see the point for root-dmg.... Is this something specific to Laptops in general?

Boot args: dart=0 -v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1  root-dmg=file:///Install%20macOS%20Catalina%20Beta.app/Contents/SharedSupport/BaseSystem.dmg

Anyway, which ig-platform-id are you using with your config? Would you be able to clean the serials form your SMBIOS and post your config? I feel like there might be something wrong there. Or something that could be fixed from there.

I just tested it during the installation phase, and the ig-platform-id I am using is 0x3E9B0000. The current situation is that if I inject ig-platform-id and layout-id at the same time, I get a kernel panic. If I only use one of them, I can smoothly enter the installation interface.

No fusion drive for me.  My specs are in my signature.  I just deleted the kext.  I didn't need it to run Catalina.  Once I deleted it, no more KP.

Hey all!

 

If you're using my wrapped frameworks on DP9 and experiencing PerfPowerServices crashes, please install the newest version here.

 

I figured I should post this here (actually my first message on this site, I think!) because it's sort of a "silent" problem that could go unnoticed but impact performance/stability.

 

I'll try to keep up with this thread a bit more going forward, so feel free to @ me if you notice any weird behaviors. Though I do admit I'm not really knowledgeable in the hackintosh field.

AppleBacklightFixup.kext not working in Catalina any possible fix?  My LCD brightness has worked all the way up to and including Mojave now broken in Catalina.  The device is in my description signature below, Asus G750JX Intel integrated graphics disabled by ASus only discrete Nvidia GTX770M enabled working natively.  PNLF working fine, I have the apple brightness animation increment/decrement but the display does not change brightness.

Have you tried ig-platform-id 0x3EA50009?

 

If that doesn't make a difference, try these, as well.

0x3E920009 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)
0x3E9B0009 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)
0x3EA50000 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)
0x3E920000 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)
0x3E000000 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)
0x3E9B0000 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)
0x3EA50004 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)
0x3E9B0006 (mobile, 1 connectors, no fbmem)

Also, how are you adding the ig-platform-id to your config? As Device property? Or...under Graphics (+ Inject Intel)?

Could you, please, upload your config?

 

Also, for all these tests, please, use a USB drive, in order to avoid going into an unbootable system. Or use a test config and boot from that. As you wish. Just try to have a backup. It helps a lot.

May I know how can you disable IGPU and enable Nvidia GTX770M in your Asus G750JX laptop ?

Is it via DSDT/SSDT ?

If so, can you share your DSDT/SSDT for me ?

Because I can enable IGPU with disabled Nvidia GXT880M by DSDT/SSDT only at present in my Asus G750JZ laptop, its performance from HD4600 was not so good.

But Optimus Nvidia GTX880M was not supported by Mac OS X according to my knowledge.

AppleBacklightFixup.kext only for IGPU, and merged in WEG.

Of the wrapped 10.14.6 CoreDisplay/SkyLight frameworks that enable acceleration on non-Metal GPUs, in order to fix a crashing background process. Not sure exactly what you are asking, sorry. Could you clarify?

[chris1111]

@ASentientBot no more crashing here thanks

 

I just reinstalled the new frameworks in a new package but had to reinstall it twice because it crashed the first time on the scripts that embed sudo commands

I update my repos for Legacy Video Patch

 Actually since my GFX is discrete only and Asus has disabled IGPU I can change GFX0 to IGPU in a SSDT and it works as it would for IGPU all the way up to Mojave.  So what happened in Catalina to break this?  All I use is a SSDT code for Scope (\_SB.PCI0.P0P2) for GFX see attached.  So the Nvidia card takes the place of the IPGU since its disabled by Asus.  Because I have separate SSDT I still need to use Rename in Clover GFX0 to IGPU and not sure why but also still need AppleBAcklightFixup.kext.  Need WEG to prevent dark screen on boot.

 

Is there something I need to modify to work in Catalina?

For me, the kext that caused my KP after restoring from Time Machine was ~/Library/Extensions/AppleAHCIPortHotplug.kext.  Yours may be different but I suspect you have a kext in ~/Library/Extensions that is causing your KP.

对我而言，从Time Machine还原后导致我的KP的kext是〜/ Library / Extensions / AppleAHCIPortHotplug.kext。您的情况可能有所不同，但是我怀疑您的〜/ Library / Extensions中存在一个导致KP的kext。

Thank

I've noticed one difference here between Sierra and Catalina with the Clover EC0 rename patch. When I renamed EC0 in the DSDT AppleBusPowerControllerUSB showed up under the renamed EC in both systems. Now with the Clover patch it only shows up in Sierra, not Catalina.

 

I've noticed same thing. I see no injection of AppleBusPowerController into EC (at least, as of Catalina ß9) with SSDT. I've tested with both Clover and OpenCore: no injection with either. I get proper injection in Mojave with usual SSDT, but not in Catalina. However, I do see proper injection of X86PlatformPlugin in both Mojave and Catalina with an SSDT.

 

Has anyone been able to inject AppleBusPowerController into EC in Catalina?

 

Catalina:                                                     Mojave:

        

 

Renaming EC0 has no effect either way. If I'm not mistaken, Vit9696 and others (and here) don't recommend re-naming EC0 to EC since EC0 is a different, non-Mac device as compared to EC. Instead, it's recommended to remove EC0 (and thereby not load AppleacpiEC), as in Spoiler below.

 

Spoiler

External (_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_, DeviceObj)    // (from opcode)

Scope (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0)
    {
        Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
        {
            If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
            {
                Return (Zero)
            }
            Else
            {
                Return (0x0F)
            }
        }
    }

Thanks for the explanation.
