dracoflar Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) So you've been reading the forum on this brand new boot loader called OpenCore hoping to try it out but you take one look at the configurations PDF and take a step back in shock at the complexity! Well if you've been feeling a bit intimidated by the DOCS well you've come to the right place: OpenCore Install Guide If you have any issues or suggestions please feel free to comment Edited October 7, 2020 by dracoflar 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrey1970 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 It is not required for Haswell. Because, USB kexts for Haswell do not contain the description of ports for EHC1 and EHC2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekwipt Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Anything for Broadwell-E yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracoflar Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 @ekwiptSo regarding Broadwell E support, more specifically the X79, X99, X299, C612 platforms, within the guide posses quite a few issues. Specifically that there is no real "one size fits all" guide that can be used as there's quite a bit of variation between each system and even the firmware on it. I personally have yet to find a guide that encompasses the HEDT platform properly but if you have a guide in mind I would gladly look into this as I want to have OpenCore be available to more users. There's also a simple "Converting Clover to OpenCore" section in the works that would allow users to migrate their current installs to OpenCore.

ekwipt Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Looking forward to the converting from clover. There’s some good posts by user @KGB https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334342-imac-pro-x99-live-the-future-now-with-macos-1014-mojave-successful-buildsuccessful-guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested too, especially regarding iTunes/Mac App Store. I am trying converting from Clover, reusing previous MLB and SystemUUID. iCloud and iTunes are OK, but I cannot connect to Mac App Store. Back to Clover for the time being.

dracoflar Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 @barijaona likely an issues with your ethernet, verify that your en0 device is still built-in. Noticed this with a couple users on the AMD OS X discord when they swapped over to OpenCore, Siri was also broken as well. I mention it here: https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/extras/troubleshooting#imessage-and-siri-broken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barijaona Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Thanks for giving me a cue ! It was an error in the kexts section of config.plist Edited September 23, 2019 by barijaona add details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvcraig Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I've followed the guide for two very different systems and have very different levels of success. - System 1: Ryzen 5 3600 / Asus X570 Tuf Gaming / RX 580 - working fine other than sleep issue - System 2: I3-2125 / MSI Z68MA-ED55 / HD Graphics 3000 - Can't even get MacOS installer to show up in OC boot menu Same method was used to create installation USB in both cases - as is the OpenCore version. System 1 is on Catalina, while System 2 will be using High Sierra. Any ideas where I've gone wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasca.thea Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hi. Thank you for an amazing guide! I got Catalina on mine to work fully with an important issue. this is my spec: MB: MSI x399 Meg creation CPU: AMD 2990WX RAM: 64GB cosair veangeance GPU: Radeon7 All these works perfectly. Except I have an Intel 550T2 10GBps pci card that I need working for my projects. so far I got the internal Intel I211 working using Smalltree kext. for 550 T2 I tried smalltree8259x.kext. And tried it with FakePCIID and FakePCIID_intel_GbX in kext folder. I read that I should move these 3 kexts into L/E S/L/E. But with catalina, it seems there is no proper way to do this. can someone enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that 10Gb ethernet card will not work, only 10Gb ethernet cards that have AQC-107 chipset will work. Also you shouldn't be putting in kext inside L/E or S/L/E they should all go into EFI/OC/Kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the MSI x399 Meg creation board doesn't have it built-in. Unless it has one of the device-ids listed below it will not work natively.

prendiquesto Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Hi! I have just installed Opencore 0.6 Catalina OSX on a Lenovo Tiny M910q Skylake i5. I used the Dortania Guide. Everything is running fine, until the system is completely installed, and I restart the system. If I have the USB with the "Install Catalina OSX" inserted, I access without problem the Boot Menu, and then (even removing the USB) the OS boots up properly, and it's fully working. But if I remove the USB, Opencore doesn't go to the Boot Menu, but instead opens up a black screen that reads: >>Checking Media Presence...... >>Media Present..... >>Start PXE over IPv4 If I disable IPv4 in the BIOS, the black screen tells me "1962: no operating system found" I know that catalina was installed correctly, because If I use the USB to get the Boot Menu, and then choose to boot Mac OS Catalina, I can remove the USB, and the OS will load from the HD without flaws. I have gone through the Opencore guide, ensuring all the quirks are correct in the config.plist. I have carefully taken the EFI folder from the USB and replaced the Mac HD EFI folder with it. But it is still not working. Any help? Thanks in advance, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which I need for some older software) Where the MacOS installer does not show up in the OC boot menu. As if the later versions of OC were more modified to assist Catalina or later installs.
