When the dsdt tables you edited are compiled, it gives dozens of errors. Which patches are you using? The error continues the same. Isn't it necessary to patch Opencore AHCI? There is no solution for this error on the internet. From where?

Your error shows that AHCI is successfully initialized....Maybe its your graphics card

Hatanız AHCI'nin başarılı bir şekilde başlatıldığını gösteriyor....Belki de bu sizin grafik kartınızdır

The graphics card is connected via PCI. Why does ACI freeze on approval? It's never happened to me. Does the issue require a config.plist patch? Can you help me find a solution? Or should I try Clover bootloader?

Anyone had success with Dual Xeon setup? I've been trying to install Sonoma on HP Z820 (X79, Dual 2680V2), but could only succeed with single CPU setup. Dual CPUs would give random lockup during booting (not KP), before reaching desktop.

Me and my friend wasted so much time in this dual CPU Setup but it never works. It only works with Single CPU unfortunately

There is one exception, I was successful with HP Z620 with 2x 2680V2 (but forgot the detail if the Sonoma was installed with a single CPU 1st, then added 2nd CPU back - Z620 is using CPU add-on card so it is easy to add/remove 2nd CPU. But I will do a separate test to verify if I could install Sonoma with dual CPU). Z820 is a different story, if the 2nd CPU is installed, Sonoma could no longer boot (random lockup before reaching desktop).

Follow up: I was able to install Somoma 14.3 on HP Z620 with dual CPU configuration (2x2680V2). Occasionally, I still experience a random lockup during booting, but rebooting was normally successful. Once boot up, it runs without issue.

Hey all, I've been trying with no success, even just using the EFI as is, but when I select my EFI drive in the BIOS Boot Screen, it goes nowhere, shows no boot options, no errors pop up, and open core log is blank.

I tried the USB mapper in Windows to get the kext, but I'm guessing I updated my config.plist incorrectly. I also tried going with MP6,1, but no luck. I'm good with just having Monterey on it, but I've stalled out.

System specs:

E5-2667v2

ASUS P9X79 Pro

XFX RX 5600XT

Currently trying to boot to a SATA drive, but eventually would try to install to an NVME. secure boot is off.

The above boots Windows and Linux just fine, so the hardware is solid. config.plist is below, if that helps.

config.plist

I understand nothing. What did you do?

I downloaded the EFI zip in the OP, mapped my USB drives, and tried to add that USBmap kext to my config.plist. I also changed the system serial to go with a 6,1MP. Copied it all to the EFI drive on a properly formatted SATA disk, and then tried to boot to that EFI partition. In one instance, I saw a boot option list, but I wasn't fast enough to select a drive before it went with my Windows install on another drive. Haven't had any luck since then, and no errors are showing. I'm somewhat familiar with OpenCore, as I have it installed on my 5,1MP to run Monterey. I even tried doing all this through the GitHub instructions for OpenCore, but I'm just hitting a wall somewhere every time. Unfortunately, my available time to troubleshoot is pretty limited these days, but I'd love to get macOS going on my Ivy Bridge-E system for photo editing, as the 5,1 is quite a bit slower in that regard.

Update:

You can use the following EFI to install Ventura or Sonoma. First use the EFI as it is. If it does not work then use SSDT-X79 and check. If that doesn't work then you can use my DSDT if you have Chinese X79. If you have your own DSDT then you can use that as well.

You need to enable AppleCpuPmCfgLock, AppleXcpmCfgLock and AppleXcpmExtraMsrs if you are getting kernel panic.

Those who have AMD Graphics can try this

First of all a great thanks to @MaLd0n for all the help that he gave me by editing my DSDT.

This guide is for those who are using X79 Motherboard and are

1. unable to install mac

2. Unable to boot if they enable HYPERTHREADING in thie bios.

3. Having random reboots while booting.

4. Powermanagement Issue.

You can use this EFI for Mac OS Monterey or Big Sur

Installation:

1. Download the EFI Folder given in this guide and do the necessary changes mentioned in the Changes to the Config File section given below.

2. I am not going to cover how to install Mac. For that you will get lots of guides online.

3. I am Just going to give you my EFI folder. Use it and it will boot and install without any issue.

You need to do the following after downloading the EFI.

Changes to the Config File

1. Please add you own Platform Info

2. You can use the following USBMap.kext to get the USB Working if it is not working for you then you need to follow the steps given below.

USBMap.kext.zip 1.8 kB · 316 downloads

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the above file is not working then you need to create a USB Mapping file in Windows or Mac.
Steps for creating USB Mapping For Windows or Mac

i. Download USBToolBox (This is the tool to create USBMapping).

ii. Run as an Administrator if you are on Windows.

iii. Select Discover Ports (Press D)

iv. Now take a USB Drive and insert the USB Drive into every USB Ports one by one. (This step is very important please don't skip it. This will highlight all the ports in whichever you are inserting the USB Drive)
v. Go Back (Press 'B')

vi. Now select the option 'Select Ports and Build Kext' (Press S)

vii. Select 'Enable All Populated Ports' ( Press P)

viii. Select 'build UTBMap.kext' (This will create a UTBMap.kext file)

ix. Now download USBToolBox.kext

x. Now copy the UTBMap.kext and USBToolBox.kext file into the EFI/OC/Kexts Folder

xi. Add these kext entries in the kernel Section.

xii. Now when you boot into the Mac you will have all the USB Working properly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. SSDT-X79 included in the EFI folder already has everything needed so please don't change any settings in config. It will go smoothly.

4. Reboot

Enjoy....!!!

Note: For some motherboard using CpuTSCSync.kext causes Kernel Panic,

Solution: Use VoodooTSCSync.kext instead

Bios Settings:

1. If you still have issue with USB while using my EFI then go into the Bios and Disable EHCI and XHCI Handoff or vice versa.

For PowerManagement do the following:

1. Create SSDT-PMC, SSDT-PLUG from windows using SSDTTime.exe

2. Create SSDT-PM using ssdtprgen method

3. Place these files in ACPI folder and also enable them in the config.plist.

4. So you should have SSDT-PM, SSDT-PMC, SSDT-PLUG (Optional) ACPI and SSDT-X79 (Note: For some users SSDT-X79 is breaking power management so disable SSDT-X79 and add SSDT-EC.aml and SSDT-UNC.aml instead))

5. Enjoy your PowerManagement

For Sandy Bridge CPU please enable 2 options in the Kernel > Patch Section

751AB9 to EB13B9

3E7539 to 3E9090

7513B9 to EB13B9

Patches_For_SandyCPUs.plist 13.55 kB · 168 downloads

The entries are already added just enable it. This is needed for Sandy Bridge CPU to get PowerManagement Working

Once again please don't change anything in the config other than what is mentioned above

Audio:

Follow my guide in the link to get the Audio Working

OR

You can try to use one of the following SSDT-HDEF Patch. It may or may not work for you. Also you would require SSDT-HPET.aml along with it which you can create using ssdttime app.

SSDT-HDEF.aml or SSDT-HDEF-edited.aml

Downloads:

EFI Folder: This one is with themes

If the new EFI Doesn't work then use the old one

Updated EFI with Open Core 0.7.7 (28-01-2022) (With themes)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Old EFI with Open Core (This one has themes)

EFI.zip. (This one doesn't have themes you can add it later)

Bonus:

Those who are using Huananzhi-X79 Deluxe board can use the following patched DSDT which has all the necessary patches. Even the Audio patch so no need to use SSDT-HDEF.aml

DSDT_Huananzhi_X79_Deluxe.aml 31.95 kB · 124 downloads

Troubleshooting:

Multible Reboot: Some times it takes multiple reboots to get into the system. It gets stuck in the following then follow the below given solution.

Updated Solution:

Just use this simple patch

SCK_Patch.plist 48.11 kB · 137 downloads

or

1. Open your DSDT in Rehabman's MacIasl and remove SCK1, SCK2 and SCK3

2. Also remove unused Cores. For Eg. If your CPU has 12 threads then only keep the first 12 CPU Cores and delete the rest like this. It depends on how much threads your CPU has and accordingly remove the rest. As my CPU has only 12 threads I have only kept the first 12 and will be removing the rest that I have shown in the image below.

3. Save this file as DSDT.aml

4. Place this DSDT.aml in the ACPI Folder

5. Reboot.

Now there will be no random reboots while rebooting.
