The Uefi/Drivers section is not correct, some keys are missing as in the example on the right
If you use ProperTree check that it is up to date or try to use   https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/blob/main/D_Updating_OpenCore/README.md     it will automatically correct the plist

@Joshua60 I don't have experience with your Z490 board, so I can only repeat what's in the Dortania reference you mentioned.

• "Booter > Quirks > SetupVirtualMap = True" may cause the kernel panic (Dortania: However, certain firmwares(mainly 2020+) do not work with this quirk and so may actually cause this kernel panic). Try changing this to False.

Thank you @antuneddu. Till 0.7.8 OC was working flawlessly, I am using the last ProperTree (Tcl 8.5, Tk 8.5.9). But anyway I will give a try a.s.a.p.

[Joshua60]

Thank you @antuneddu it works, I downloaded ProperTree again and did a clean snapshot. Probably ProperTree was damaged.

Thank you @deeveedee I also correct SetupVirtualMap.

[Anto65]

👍 In any case when you update it is a good idea to check the plist, with
ocvalidate ... present inside the release and if necessary correct by referring to the Sample.plist

[Joshua60]

Thank you @antuneddu I will take care of it.

@eSaF I have two NVMe SSDs in my rig, with macOS on both (one SSD is where I test major upgrades and one is my production volume).  I've noticed that my NVMe disk numbers in macOS change order (they switch places between disk0 and disk1).  Since I have my EFI loaded on only one of the SSDs, it doesn't matter to me.  I've always assumed that this disk order change was because the BIOS dynamically detects the NVMe drives at boot time.  Just offering this in case it helps you track down your issue.

I upgraded to Open core 0.7.8 from 0.7.4 and now I can't run Parallels Boot camp anymore. Was running fine for 4 years, then boom. Any advice on how to fix it?

 

Setup:

 

• OSX and Windows on separate NVME drives
• Each OS has it's own EFI partition so I can direct boot to Windows if I need to.
• Parallels can see the drive perfectly fine but goes to its blue shell screen
• I can't even create a Boot Camp partition from OSX anymore. The process starts but when it goes to install it can't find the portion for some reason
• When I trun to run Parallels, I get: Boot Skipped EFI Hard Drive

 

I think that last point is really the issue, the system cannot map and access the drive after reboot.

Not wanting to upset the apple cart, so Mods if not in the appropriate Thread please remove. I have noticed a strange sporadic happening on my rig that has me baffled, I have both Monterey and Windows on separate M.2 Drives with the OS X drive installed in the first slot on the motherboard and Windows in the second. In the BIOS Drive Boot order Settings I have OS X as the first Drive also yet on random occasions the Windows Disk appears as the first Disk although the boot up will be from OC (See attached). I never noticed this happening when I was running with Clover, I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if there is a setting that can prevent this from happening. It is not causing a problem, just annoying when I see it.

What configurator is that?

hello everyone since beta 12.3 (21E5222a) i have something on my wallpaper as you can see on the picture, do you have any idea? it's the same with OC 078 and OC 079

@eSaF @deeveedee

 

I have same configuration as Esaf and also same behaviour, sometimes diskutil and even disk utility display windows disk first.

EDIT: sometimes word missing.

 

@odemolay

Do you see the same artifact changing wallpaper or only with this? It happens only in the beta?

I had this happening to me. Setting a custom wallpaper gets rid of the effect.

thanks for the tips it seems to work. have a good day

[deeveedee]

Developers - it's been a while since I thanked you for your work on OC.  OC 0.7.9 is my favorite version yet.  It's been rock solid with my rig.  Every once in a while (rare, but it happened), I used to boot my rig with OC (Big Sur) and I wouldn't see the BIOS boot screen, the OC boot menu or the Apple logo (it would boot with a blank screen until the progress bar showed).  I'm not sure which OC version fixed this for me (it was recent), but this minor problem no longer happens with OC 0.7.9.  I have zero issues on my hack thanks to your hard work.  Very well done.  Your hard work is much appreciated.  Thank you.

Well, this is weird, have lost audio in Monterey

Works in Big Sur and Catalina

Before looking at the complicated, look at the simple possibilities. If you're using one EFI Folder to boot all and audio works on BS and Catalina then look at the Audio settings in Monterey, no reason it works on the other two and not Monterey. Shouldn't make a whole lot of difference but insure AppleALC.kext and AudioDxe.efi are the latest versions. If using different EFI Folders to boot each OS X versions, compare config.plist against the one without audio. Good luck.

Using the one Clover efi folder, all try latest versions, thanks for your input

From another forum...

Adding the following device properties to your NAVI GPU should solve the issue. ( same frame buffer for XT & non XT )

 

To be tested with caution! 

 

Radeon 6900 -> ATY , Carswell

Radeon 6800 -> ATY , Belknap

Radeon 6600 -> ATY , Henbury

Radeon 5700 -> ATY , Adder

Radeon 5500 -> ATY , Python

 

If none of the above framebuffer are working, You can also try -> ATY, Deepbay

Best of luck !

Have you a previous EFI Folder where audio was working? If you have try using it testing each OS X version separately to eliminate the one that is not. Don't forget to clean NvRAM during the test.

Same deal with my backup usb, have some weird {censored} going on.

Swapping between different OS I need to redo iCloud login

Have to logon to IM too.

That is indeed strange, if your backup USB has the same data values i.e SmBIOS, ROM, MLB, etc as your current that shouldn't happen. Wish I could be more of a help but I left Clover behind sometime ago so I am a bit rusty as to giving constructive help apart from the obvious.

Will give OC a go. thanks

Care to share your OC efi folder?

Anybody care to share their OC EFI folder?

[deeveedee]

Weird.  My Open Core Discussion thread appears to have become a Twitter feed.

@Ellybz

I've read in the other forum that 6600 goes on Deepbay framebuffer instead of Henbury, I can't find the reference to Henbury.

 

EDIT: just read Radeon 6600 (Edit: This was changed from Deepbay to Henbury) so your info was right.
