ludufre Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Since the Catalina beta 9, FileVault takes about 3 minutes to request the password. I am currently in a final version 19A602 and the problem continues. If anyone can take a look, I have attached "gen_debug" before and after disabling FileVault. I noticed that if I boot in verbose, the login screen takes the same time, but at left o screen a lot of lines pop up: ERROR: LWSmcUINT8ForKey smcProtocol-> SmcReadValue failed for key '... Important: In attachments the Kexts are in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.15/ but the behavior in /Library/Extensions is the same. Important 2: Tried without UsbKbDxe.efi, UsbMouseDxe.efi, Ps2MouseDxe.efi and same issue. My laptop is from this guide that I wrote: gen_debug.zip [EDIT] Solved with https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/cre5da/filevault_howto Basically removes: AppleImageCodec.efi AppleImageLoader.efi AppleKeyAggregator.efi AppleUITheme.efi AptioInputFix.efi Ps2MouseDxe.efi FirmwareVolume.efi SMCHelper.efi And, add: AppleGenericInput.efi AppleUiSupport.efi VirtualSmc.efi Of course, replace FakeSMC kexts with VirtualSMC kexts. Now, just 5 seconds to ask password. Edited October 20, 2019 by ludufre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep_Thought Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Man, you are a lifesaver! I installed Catalina multiple times because it looked like it froze when I enabled Filevault. Once I waited long enough for the login screen to appear (by sheer accident I have to admit), it occured to me that FV actually was working all the time and there might be a way to accelerate the boot process. A search turned up your post and it was all smooth sailing from there. So, thank you very much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomade Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Now that I can boot in few seconds.. as oppose to minutes.. Great job! Anyone here has FileVault2 enabled and did the 10.15.4 upgrade? I'm nervous of doing it and end up with no usable system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomade Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Hi, While this works great now where I can boot faster, it only work if the verbose boot is turned on (-v) If I remove the -v, it get stuck on the white background and the apple logo. Any idea? 4k monitor still not working Edited May 7, 2020 by Nomade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
