No USB: IvyBridge Config, OpenCore 0.5.9

[guitarxperience]

I’ve followed the Dortania IvyBridge Desktop configuration guide (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/) as closely as possible for this computer:

 

• Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
• Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth X79
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2 GB

I believe this is a Sandy Bridge or Sandy Bridge-E in reality.

The good: I can boot my existing MacOs Catalina 10.15.6 installation.

The bad: 

• I have NO mouse or keyboard (or USB of any kind).
• I cannot boot the installer 10.15.6 because it is on a USB thumb drive.

 

When I boot either installer or MacOs partition, I see the LED indicator on my thumb drive turns off.

 

The error message that I see that seems to be applicable is: 

Waiting on <dict ID=“0”><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID=“1”>IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key><string ID=“2”>boot-uuid-…..>

For a glimpse of my EFI folder please see https://github.com/aaronpfoltzer/opencore

I have UsbInjectAll.kext in my Kexts folder and XhciPortLimit set to true. I thought this would temporarily allow USB ports to work until I did the actual USB mapping. My SSDT-EC is done manually but matches the output from SSDTTime anyway. I’ve tried different SMBIOS. (iMacPro1,1 which is what I am using now with Clover, but now iMac13,2 as recommended for IvyBridge Desktops).

This is resolved. Made 2 ACPI patches in config.plist: EUSB to EH01 (45555342 to 45483031 ) USBE to EH02 (55534245 to 45483032 )

@guitarxperience Hello, Interesting to hear you successfully made this transition. I am still on Clover/Mojave same motherboard and the only thing not working is sleep. Is in your OpenCore setup that feature now working again? With my thanks in advance for answering.
