Has ignoreforwindows quirk been removed? My windows 10 won’t boot. Blue screen with acpi bios error. 

[ghost8282]

Hi, latest modifications (14th April, from 20fa82d to e6acc72) seems to have broken (for me) the external boot picker: mac os boot fine but boot picker has a black screen; was working fine without the modifications.

Not sure how I could help tracking the issue.

Yes, you are right, no needs apfsdriverloader.efi from now on v.0.5.8.

Several months ago, yes. Adapt your ACPI tables with OSI

Thanks for information

Anyone has config.plist sample for sandy bridge (I5-2500). I cannot boot with config sample (Ivy) on opencore guideline.

I’ll give it a try. Is that the rename patch + ssdt?

No, you just guard your changes with conditional statements querying OSI

Read the configuration document - it's is difficult but if YOU do not make the effort to help yourself, then other people cannot help you.

You have not given any indication of type of PC you have. HINT: Fill in FULL details of your h/w in your signature otherwise people cannot help you. 

You have not stated if you had working hack (e.g. booting via Clover) and if working, which macOS version you are using, etc, etc.

 

1. Read the configuration document on how to select the default boot disk (HINT: AllowSetDefault=true, RequestBootVarRouting=true; System Preferences-> Startup Disk).

 

Regarding OPT/Alt key, again read the configuration document which states "Note 2: In addition to OPT OpenCore supports Escape key to display picker when ShowPicker is disabled. This key exists for Apple picker mode and for firmwares with PS/2 keyboards that fail to report held OPT key and require continual presses of Escape key to enter the boot menu." (HINT: use ESC key; set KeyForgetThreshold; KeyMergeThreshold; TakeoffDelay;

 

2. Your bluetooth adapter must support basic functionality in BIOS before OS drivers kick-in and take-over the functions. HINT: install a real Mac BT adapter and real Mac keyboard + Mouse.

 

3. No idea about your HD desktop icon placement. Some corruption of your macOS. HINT: re-install macOS

 

@MacNB Once again, thank you very much for your help.

 

I read the documentation, of course. Not everything is understood, not all issues are understood.

If I didn't read the documentation, this computer wouldn't work.

I think I did it quite well and thoroughly.

 

1. I have set:
AllowSetDefault = true
RequestBootVarR outing = true

 

2. From this version of OpenCore 0.5.8 2020-04-14 my mouse works. It has been improved: OpenCanopy: Added AppleEvent mouse support.

anyone using OpenCore with legacy iMac?

[vettz500]

New to OC here, I have only 2 issues I'm trying to solve. 

First things first my system:
2018 Razer Blade 15 Advance Mode

i7-8750H

Intel UHD630 Graphics

Nvidia GTX-1060 Graphics

32GB of RAM

2TB Samsung NVMe

Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4

The first issue I'm having is disabling my Nvidia GPU via SSDT. Using the -wegnoegpu disables the GPU but it also disables my ability use the USB-C port as a display out. The same goes when using the Device Properties Method, disables the GPU but also disables the ability to use the USB-C out as a display. 
Following the guide to patch the SSDT to disable the GPU does not work. I've tried every which way and searched for hours, I cannot figure this out. Maybe there's something I'm missing that someone can point out. The SSDT I patched is attached. 
Back on Clover I could patch the SSDT with the Call Off function for the GPU in it and it would disable my Nvidia card but still allow me to use the USB-C port for display out when needed. That's what I would like to happen again but with OC. 

The location for my GPU is: _SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP

Second issue: I also cannot get OC to see my Windows installation or my High Sierra Installation. All I get for boot options is my Catalina installation and recovery options. If I boot off of the flashdrive I made, I then get the option to boot Windows, but still no option to boot High Sierra. 

Note: My High Sierra installation is HFS not APFS. 

 

Files attached for looking over for something I missed. 

Thanks!

What about the Kernel and kext patches: AppleIntelCPUPM,Apple RTC... ?

Example (Clover):

Thanks for the excellent work that you people are doing.

 

 

You can find them all explained here, that page helped me a lot, hope it can do the same for you.

With this configuration I now only have my Catalina installation available as a selection at boot. Still no Windows or High Sierra

@vettz500

 

 

 

what OC version are you talking about? surely you have a driver and boot problem, old.

Why do you use the Microsoft folder? I do not need it

0.5.7 
I have all the drivers that were recommended, including the HFS driver. I've been 

The Microsoft folder has been in there since when I first installed Windows. It's always been apart of the EFI, never thought to remove it

@Download-Fritz, simple question, can i use a DSDT with all my patches there instead of too much SSDT's that invoke me to use more and more patches to boot with OC? For me it's a hassle, while DSDT will have all the things that i need for Mac OS to boot, in a single aml file including Plugin-Type. 

[mhaeuser]

@ammoune78 Well, why not?

[ammoune78]

@Download-Fritz Because i see almost every user make a lot of SSDTs, disabling Addresses, Devices Status, Devices, _DSM, _OSI, while dropping one table with the same, but patches included is time saves and i think this have some effect on performances IMHO!

 

@carlo_67, where i can buy a IM shirt like yours please  , i think it's the best shirt i can use  

[mhaeuser]

@ammoune78 SSDTs are used to avoid patching DSDT. DSDT may update with FW updates, FW settings changes, or whatever. Any noticeable performance effects is without a doubt placebo, measurable... I don't know how Apple's ACPI stack works.

[markl18]

hi I visited the irc place I got banned because I used Neresh’s Mac utility and that my 0.5.8 was illegitimate and that my file structure looked not real I am placing my file structure and my plist to tell me what wrong 

config.plist

no need to disable System Integrity Protection(SIP) .

 

I have the question whetheer or not to have SIP protection activated. In OpenCore. I have set the sip that brigs Olarila in its 6700000 installation and I use the hack for tests and changes at startup using terminal. What would be the recommended option.

Yes for each FW update, we need extracting and patching, to don't miss something! And yeah, for me, Apple uses one of the best ACPI code and structure i ever seen, simple, small and pointfull. But i still don't know why they didn't implement Windows 2015 into _INI, onto newest hardware, is it still in developement? They let newest hardware install bootcamp software windows 10 compatible, while the ACPI don't have the proper code for it.

I'm getting black screen after 2nd boot during installation, I can get to the install screen, choose SSD, Apple Logo takes 8 mins, then the screen goes black for 5 mins and then the computer shutdown. When i start back up i belive it's going through the 2nd install part of the installation but i can't see anything.

 

I went through a similar thing with clover when i installed 10.13.6 ages ago, i think it was fixed with VegaGraphicsFixup.kext which isnt used anymore for OC.

I have tried (-v debug=0x100 slide=128 keepsyms=1 npci=0x2000 agdpmod=vit9696 alcid=1) and without agdpmod=vit9696 but still black screen, i'm using Display Port on my RX480. I've searched but can't find any solution! Whatevergreen and Lilu latest as well.
