The only issue I have with OC is after booting Windows 10 I can no longer boot Catalina. I get " Error loading kernel cache " Mohave boots no problem and Catalina will boot with Clover just fine. I can boot mohave and catalina just fine with OC multiple times as long as I don't boot windows. Still trying to figure this out, will have to stay with clover until I do.

ok, I am at a loss, I have poured over the configuration documents many times and still can't get my system to boot.I got OC .3 to boot mostly, but that was using AptioMemoryFix which is now been absorbed into OC and other functions. the page in the documents that discuss how to get it working are extremely vague and simply point out what appears to be unrelated Quirks that if you search the documentation on don't say if they need to be on or off. Attached are 2 files, 1 my freshly compiled .5.1 OC folder with a config.plist that I know will not boot, because it gives me the dreaded (ERROR allocating 0x##### pages at 0x000000000######## alloc Type 2, Couldn't allocate runtime area) or worse just fails to do anything after making a selection one a Clover config file that will boot the system correctly.  Can someone please help, or point me in the direction that will allow me to resolve the issues?

 

TLDR: My OC files will boot .3, but when I try to move onto any that don't use AptioMemoryFix I can't get the system to boot, looking for help.  Attached are the OC EFI (not working) and a working Clover config for my system.

Hey, so my system instantly reboots after moving fine working build with Clover to OpenCore. I don't have any Macs (VM too) so I can't fix it directly.

Screenshot_2019-10-09-20-26-06-862_com.g
This is what I get before reboot.
This is my config.plist: https://pastebin.com/0vSaVDD1 (without iMessage because I had it working under Clover).
Drivers:
ApfsDriverLoader.efi
FwRuntimeServices.efi
VBoxHfs.efi
VirtualSmc.efi

Kexts:
AppleALC.kext
Lilu.kext
RealtekRTL8111.kext
SMCProcessor.kext
SMCSuperIO.kext
VirtualSMC.kext
WhateverGreen.kext

I suppose it's not working due to EC not being faked/patched, but because I don't have access to macOS to get DSDT and patch them, I need probably to get working old Clover build (I have backup) or wait for OpenCore dev to implement directly EC faking under Catalina?

1. Try to enable Booter->Quirks->AvoidRuntimeDefrag.

2. Which system is this EFI for? You have three in your signature.

3. Some options seem to be missing from your config.plist. Start fresh with the SampleFull.plist corresponding to your OC 0.5.1 build, or compare with it and add missing options.

4. I see you have DSDT.aml defined in the ACPI->Add section, but the file seems to be missing. And DSDT patching isn't recommended anyway.

5. You have multiple ACPI renames in place, and most of them shouldn't be needed, I would suggest you start with no renames at all and fix them one at a time.

6. The `Fix RTC _STA` should be achieved by using SSDT patch provided in OpenCorePkg->Docs->AcpiSamples

7. Although I'm not sure about the ACPI->Block section, I would suggest you disable them until you're sure that it is absolutely required to boot

8. In OC 0.5.1 you shouldn't use AptioMemoryFix since its functionalities are mostly merged into OC and some separated in FwRuntimeServices. Just include FwRuntimeServices and enable the Booter quirks. You can find detailed information in the Configuration.pdf

 

That's all I can see in a glance for now.. :)

Z370 you mean, I presume?

 

If so, your Z370 machine is quite similar to mine (ASUS Z370-F).

 

Here is my EFI folder, fill in your SMBIOS info and see it helps. You might need some minor changes to make everything work.

 

My OC could be slightly older than yours, 0.5.1 still, but right before the "MinKernel/MaxKernel" commit. So if you're gonna test it out I would suggest you replace the whole thing, and upgrade later if you want.

EFI.zip

 

 

EDIT: It doesn't have the Thunderbolt ACPI patch since my board doesn't have TB. You might have to add it yourself.

got the bright idea to try every boot option (I have 5) and what I can see is that recovery mode on 10.14.6 and 10.15 do nothing, while normal mode gives me this Error (see attached). I have gone into the EFI Shell and tried to launch boot.efi manually and it appears that it is not patching/debugging on boot.

Hi all OpenCore testers,

 

I encountered an issue with assigning default boot option and hope if anyone could shed me some light. Assigning default boot option via Startup Disk preference panel doesn't seem to have any effect to the default boot-up option of OpenCore. I changed it to two different disks but the OpenCore default stays still the first one (an EFI). 

 

I can see that efi-boot-device in nvram.plist is able to change according to the selection on Startup Disk preference panel. However that doesn't change what OpenCore brings up as the default. 

 

These are tested with RequestBootVarRouting enabled. When disabled, the default booting option stayed on the second entry of the booting list (another EFI...), regardless of what was chosen on the Startup Disk preference panel. 

 

Other than this issue, OpenCore has been working flawlessly with my hack. Well done guys! 

 

My plist can be found below, and the specs. Thanks. 

 

CPU: i5-8500

GPU: Sapphire RX580 Pulse

RAM: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB DDR4-3000

Motherboard/Laptop model: Gigabyte B360 AORUS Gaming 3 WIFI

config copy.plist

 

It seems like OpenCore default boot option isn't compatible with emulated nvram. When asked about it on the acidanthera bug tracker, one of the devs replied that you should simply go and buy a z370 board instead. It's a shame because all current gen intel motherboards have incompatible nvram.

 

I ended up just setting up ScanPolicy to make sure that my macOS disk was the first boot option.

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know that the failure of default bootup assignment is directly linked to the emulated nvram. 

Setting up ScanPolicy sounds like a decent workaround. I've looked up the manual and figured out how to set the number in the plist. Will try this today or tomorrow. Cheers

This is some info about my system:

- Running Mojave with Clover

- motherboard Z370

- Chip Coffee Lake i8400

- Using usb bluetooth dongle (BCM20702A0)

- TP-Link Archer T9E for wifi

- Card AMD RX 570

 

I also attach EFI folder here.

Thank you very much for any advise !

Try this EFI, people really need to stop using ACPI > Patches to do ACPI renames, if you need to rename a device use a SSDT. Think of comparing Clover and OpenCore to a Automatic and Manual transmission in a vehicle. Clover is the Automatic and OpenCore is the manual. You can not do things with a manual that you can do in an automatic.

Hi Pavo,

out of curiosity i gave a look at your EFI.zip and compared with the other one. You just removed most of the ACPI patches from his config but you didn't create any SSDT patch file for the one you've removed from the config. Is it because OpenCore will take care of that patches by itself or the user have to create them later on ?

 

Thanks

You have to create them yourself and I have already posted an example of how to do renames with SSDT, but if its to hard for someone to search the forums for that example, I'll hold your hands..... Here is an example of renaming a BR1B organic device to a Apple ETH0 device for ethernet on an Asus Z9PE-D8 WS board. 

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "Pavo", "LAN", 0x00001000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.PEX0, DeviceObj)
    External (_SB_.PCI0.PEX0.BR1B, DeviceObj)

    If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
    {
        Scope (\_SB.PCI0.PEX0)
        {
            Scope (BR1B)
            {
                Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
                {
                    Return (Zero)
                }
            }

            Device (ETH0)
            {
                Name (_ADR, Zero)  // _ADR: Address
                Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
                {
                    Return (0x0F)
                }
            }

I need some assistance on getting XPCM to work properly on a Xeon E5-2683 v3 with OpenCore v0.5.1.  With Clover all I needed was a FakeCPUID of 0x040674 along with SSDT-PLUG.aml.  When I try to emulate what Clover does with FakeCPUID by using the following with OpenCore the processors frequency scaling doesn't behave properly, performance is down, and the system hard locks frequently:

 

Cpuid1Data: <74 06 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00>
Cpuid1Mask: <FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00>

 

Without doing the above the process is running max turbo frequency, and 99% utilization all of the time according to Intel Power Gadget.  The processor is also running hot for being idle, but the system is rock solid, and performance is good.  So what am I missing, or does the Cpuid1Data not perform the same function as FakeCPUID does in Clover?  Also, this behavior is the same rather I'm using Mojave or Catalina.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Pavo for the answer. I saw some examples like the one you've posted here but one thing is too see an example and another is to adapt that example to your need if you don't know how ACPI works.

Just to give you an idea : 

I've an ACPI patch to rename _CRS method for my touchpad so i can return what VoodooI2C wants. 

Attached you will find a screenshot of 2 patchs i'm using in OpenCore to rename _CRS and SBFG for my touchpad and here is the SSDT i've created to integrate the patches  :
  

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "hack", "TPD0", 0x00000000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.GPI0, DeviceObj)    // (from opcode)
    External (_SB_.PCI0.I2C0.TPD0, DeviceObj)    // (from opcode)
    External (_SB_.PCI0.I2C0.TPD0.SBFB, FieldUnitObj)    // (from opcode)
    External (_SB_.PCI0.I2C0.TPD0.SBFI, FieldUnitObj)    // (from opcode)

    Scope (_SB.PCI0.I2C0.TPD0)
    {
        Name (SBFG, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullDefault, 0x0000,
                "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,
                )
                {   // Pin list
                    0x0000
                }
        })
        Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)  // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
        {
            Return (ConcatenateResTemplate (SBFB, SBFG))
        }
    }

    Scope (_SB.PCI0.GPI0)
    {
        Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
        {
            Return (0x0F)
        }
    }

Is there a way to do this only with SSDT ?

 

Thanks

Mattia

_CRS is a Resource Setting not a device. You can't rename Resource Methods, but you can give your own Current Resource Setting for the device. You need to figure out what exactly you are replacing in the SBFG ResourceTemplate in order to create a SSDT to do it.

I have narrowed it down to something in 10.15 boot.efi does weird things with open core. I have a working OpenCore setup on the same machine(USB) using OC .3 and it boots into 10.14.6 installer just fine, but the same install if I have it boot into 10.15 gives the Error messages about not allocation runtime area. also when trying to get into the 10.14 installer with current fresh compiled OC it fails in preboot. I have tried many different EFI folders, but none (even the one I was using) seem to be able to get boot.EFI to fire off. UEFI Shell works, lets me explore the drives, but I launch Boot.efi and it Panics.

 

HBP

Attached, Error messages from OC .3 that mirror messages from .5.1+

TLDR:: I can get OC .3 to boot 10.14.6 installer, but will not boot 10.15 anything.  I can not get OC .5.1+ to boot any OS, even 10.14.6 installer.

System is the Z390 DESIGNARE.

Hello -

 

I've tried building an OC 0.5.1 EFI using the guide for Skylake. My build is a GA z170m-d3h/Intel 6700K/Intel RX 570. I appreciate any insight as to what's wrong with the config.plist. The computer freezes after choosing the Hack volume for booting. It doesn't transition to any sort of loading of MacOS.

 

Thanks.
