Need To Know If My Min/Max Kernel Versions Are OK

No, they're not ok :D

Kernel version (darwin version) is not mac os version!

If you look this for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_version_history

 

You will see that Monterey has kernel 21.x.x, ranging from 21.0.1 (mac os 12.0) to 21.5.0 (mac os 12.4):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Monterey

 

So, for lilu kext it should be like this:

			<dict>
				<key>Arch</key>
				<string>Any</string>
				<key>BundlePath</key>
				<string>Lilu.kext</string>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>V1.6.1</string>
				<key>Enabled</key>
				<true/>
				<key>ExecutablePath</key>
				<string>Contents/MacOS/Lilu</string>
				<key>MaxKernel</key>
				<string></string>
				<key>MinKernel</key>
				<string>8.0.0</string>
				<key>PlistPath</key>
				<string>Contents/Info.plist</string>
			</dict>

i.e. from kernel v. 8 (mac os tiger) without any limitation for max kernel..Why setting a max kernel for lilu?

Use max kernel only if you have multiple oses booting from the same efi and you have kexts or patches that only apply specifically to an os version.

 

PS: for basic kexts, like lilu, whatevergreen, applealc, etc you can take the values from the repository /Docs/Sample.plist (and if you look at them they have only MinVersion and not MaxVersion, because they apply to the latest supported os (Monterey), with the exception of AirPortBrcm4360_Injector); if you have any particular kext/patch you need to convert the mac os version to the darwin kernel version

Hi all, is there a guide or tool that I can use on my custom DSDT for my laptop to make dual booting work with OC without having to use the EFI picker? 
Or someone who can do it for me? I’ll pay someone if needed lol. I would rather learn to do it myself but I am limited on time and resources. 

Also to add to the above I’m having issues with google chrome crashing with OpenCore. If I use Clover it works fine.  - Was a SIP problem - Solved

 

Next question is how do i remove the 2 circled entries? I have tried all sorts of scan policies and some work.....too well and remove all linux and winblows drives.

@SavageAUS Without knowing anything about your physical drives and volumes, I'm just guessing.  I'm assuming your "NO NAME" drives are non-bootable.  Have you tried removing the EFI partition on the "NO NAME" drives?

All of my drives have EFI partitions for a reason. NVMe1 has macOS, NVMe2 has winblows, SSD has Linux. All have EFI partitions, my guess it’s either the root or home partitions for the Linux installs I have. 
Would you like the output of diskutil list or something?

@chris1111 

Thank you very much for the opencore themes 🙇‍♂️

 

Until now I was using "Flavors-AppleMonterey"  from now on I'm switching to "Flavours-AppleVentura". it's very nice 😃

Thanks @PoMpIs

I just Add Ventura disk Icons in the Flavours-AppleDisk, Flavours-AppleMonterey themes

I think no name entries are EFI partitions on windows or linux disks. You can rename them within each operating system or play with ScanPolicy values.

I already have the two required entries for linux and the one for winblows.

Just want to hide the no name partitions :( 

Everytime i play with scanpolicy it ends up removing everything except macOS drives.

But this hides NTFS partitions and @SavageAUS has windows. Better 2718467 (it doesn't hide NTFS but EFI).

Yes, because I assume that everyone has the custom entries declared in Misc 😜
Either way you can experiment with the most appropriate value with 

https://oc-scanpolicy.vercel.app/

As long as the Mac drives don’t get hidden I’ll try anything. 
I did notice that if I disable the openlinux driver the named Linux partitions disappear which leaves the no name ones. I have renamed those partitions in gparted to there respective OS but OC still says no name and no icon. 
Using OCAT I have ticked everything except efi and that for some reason hides all drives except macOS.

Is there a guide for setting custom entries for OC?

 

After reading some more of the dortania guide it says about having ext4_x64.efi which I do not have. I only have OpenLinuxBoot.efi, could this be the problem? A missing driver?

Edited by SavageAUS

Yes miliuco wrote one, if I find it I'll link it to you

Here 

https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348097-how-to-custom-entry-in-opencore-to-boot-windows/

 

Same procedure to find the Linux path
... in the end you should have so in the plist

Edit : That way you don't need it
Open Linux Boot.uefi or other driver

@SavageAUS The ext4 filesystem driver is included in the of OC Binary Data package: https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

 

Yeah I added the driver in the drivers folder and my config but entries didn’t change. I’ve got one more scan policy to try then I’ll set about doing custom entries if scan policy doesn’t work. Thanks all. 

 

So i am working on the custom entries, i have winblows added without a problem but with Linux how does one know what to put in for the Flavour? For windows i used windows11:windows

I have Arch Linux and Pop!_OS.

Would they be

ArchLinux:Linux

Pop!_OS:Linux
