So I'm new to OpenCore, I've been a Clover user for too long but it's finally totally failed me after a motherboard upgrade, I couldn't boot to Mac OS.

 

So I gave OpenCore a go using the basic config and boom, booted first time! I'm an instant convert!

 

The main problem I have is that I have a triple boot machine with Windows 10, Ubuntu and Mac OS on three separate drives. With OpenCore I can ONLY boot Mac OS. It gives me an option of "BOOTCAMP Windows" but if I select it it boots to the Ubuntu GRUB menu (??) and then won't load the linux kernel! There is no option that tries to boot Windows.

 

It looks like multi-OS support is not a priority right now, is this correct? Is there anything I can do to help test/code/progress this aspect of the project?

Look for the n.d.k version of OpenCore. Running quadruple boot ( Catalina, Mojave, Windows & Linux ) on 4 different drives for each os, without any issues.

Hey, so I downloaded, compiled and configured a NDK OpenCore config. I based it on the sample but migrated all my working settings over. I ensure the ScanPolicy is set to 0.

 

I now have a nice graphical EFI menu, but the same problem in that "BOOTCAMP Windows" starts Ubuntu GRUB which then can't boot Ubuntu. The additional problem I have now though is that Mac OS won't boot either (see attached).

 

Is there any chance you could share your config.plist with me for comparison? Did you have to install Windows through boot camp to get this to work? The NDK OpenCore documentation suggests this.
