jsl2000 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) After many hours of try and error it worked by OpenCore at 10.12.6/10.13.6/10.14.x/10.15x in my Z77 hackintosh. The only issue was incorrect showing of PCI in System Information. config.plist Edited November 24, 2019 by jsl2000 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arun M Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) Even I am using the ASUS Z97 - Similar one to yours - But OpenCore loads to a black screen for me Can you confirm if OC works for you in that setup too? config.plist Edited December 8, 2019 by Arun M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggestCookie Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I have a gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H. i7-3770K using HD4000. If I use the right Kexts, how close is your config.plist? Thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoffsta Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi there, I'm trying to get my Z77 (Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H) board up and running on my first go at OpenCore. I took a look at your config and noticed you don't have your DSDT.aml file enabled, nor many of the SSDTs. I'm curious why you don't use them and how you determine which ones you need? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, OpenCore is in beta and it's features are changing regularly and so the config.plist must match the version you download or build. Can you successfully boot using Clover ? What is the make & model of your motherboard ?

Several comments: If you use Whatevergreen.kext, there's no need to inject device properties in OC as that kext will take care. You are not using SSDT.aml in OC which you were in Clover. That's needed for CPU PM You are using SSDT-EHCx_OFF.aml which is only really needed if your UEFI BIOS cannot Enable XHC handoff You are using XhciDxe.efi but for your motherboard it should not really be needed as it should be included in FW You are using USBInjectAll.kext in OC but not in Clover you're using USBPorts.kext You did not copy the same board-id and serial in OC - may effect iCloud & Messages. I've tried to map your Clover EFI to OC EFI. Rename your existing EFI folder to EFI-BACKUP, and copy the attached EFI and check it before booting.

Apple Hunter Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) 1st of all thank you for help. I have mounted EFI which you have edited and I have followed your step as you comments. But still it showing me some error like i mention in picture even opencore log report freeze. I have created DSDT now its working fine in Clover same method I have applied to Opencore but same issues. I have 1 more doubt on FwRuntimeServices.efi. I have added FwRuntimeServices.efi to clover it freeze at same loading. but AptioMemoryFix.efi works fine in Clover. I have try to add Opencore it showed nonsupporting error on startup. I have attached DSDT Working Clover And Issus Opencore.

It's not important but just delete the ConsoleControl entry in your config.plist. The second screenshot I do not recognise. I do not see it and don't recognise anything. You say that you have created a DSDT.aml but in the folder "with DSDT", the config.plist does not use it (you have not added it as an entry in ACPI->Add) so it is not being used. You also should not need it or any of those patches that you added. It may well be an issue to FwRuntimeservice.efi on your motherboard. In config.plist try setting: ACPI->Quirks->NormalizeHeaders=true and ACPI->Quirks->RebaseRegions=true (with any DSDT.aml) Also, you have not stated where your monitor is connected (motherboard or the AMD graphics card). It should be connected to the AMD GPU. If not, did you check that if you have any output on any of the AMD ports and the system is not really frozen ?

You can try and disable your iGPU (in BIOS) but I think it will not make a big difference on your system. I disable it because I use iMacPro1,1 as the SMBIOS model ID (not iMac13,2) so that I can use the AMD GPU for encoding/decoding video. I would not use Fwruntimeservices.efi with clover. There some problems with it but that's for the newer Z370 & 390 motherboards. If your system boots with Clover, post your IOREG file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
