deeveedee Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Sorry if this has already been asked... Has anyone encountered sleep problems in Monterey 12.4 with systems booting/running from SATA SSDs? When my rig attempts to sleep, it freezes with black screens but system is still on. Only way to recover is force shutdown with power button. Details below... Thank you. I have an HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini 65W (Q370, i5-8600, UHD630, 32GB DDR4) as documented here. I usually boot and run from an NVMe SSD, but to test the problem identified here by @sfritz, I have configured a rig with only a SATA SSD (no NVMe SSDs) and I installed Monterey 12.4. The install of Monterey appeared to finish without issues, but my rig does not sleep. I have tried the following to no avail. If I had to guess, I would say that the AppleAHCIPort.kext in Monterey has issues with my AHCI controller, but I'm not sure how to overcome the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Things I tried (separately and all together): Enable Kernel > Quirks > ThirdPartyDrives Inject CtlnaAHCIPort.kext with and without Blocking com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort) (with SIP enabled and with SIP disabled) Disable M.2 ports in BIOS (even though they are empty without any NVMe SSDs) Sleep/Wake works fine in Big Sur 11.6.7 and previous macOS versions and Sleep/Wake works fine when booting/running Monterey 12.4 installed on NVMe SSD. As far as I can tell, the Sleep/Wake problem only occurs when booting/running Monterey 12.4 from SATA SSD. My complete system specs are as follows: Chipset: Q370 CPU: i5-8600 / UHD630 CoffeeLake SATA SSD: ADATA SU800 128GB Memory: 32GB DDR4 OC 0.8.1 / Monterey 12.4 Edited July 2, 2022 by deeveedee 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/313/#findComment-2787811 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matgen84 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hi all I build OC myself from local repo. Is it possible to build OpencorePKG only for X64 !

If yes, how Let me know, please 🙂 Looks like setting "export ARCHS=(X64)" in your shell first before running `oc_build.tool` should work, haven't tested on my machine though. Parenthesis are important since it's specifying an array of builds you want. Edit: Added export to shell command.

deeveedee Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best at staying current with OC changes between releases. I believe that I'm getting to the bottom of the sleep problem that I documented here. I now suspect that I need the APFS EFI driver with OpenCore 0.8.1. When (which OC version) did the APFS EFI driver become necessary for macOS installs on SATA SSDs?

mhaeuser Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) @deeveedee OC does not have an APFS driver (that’s in the APFS header and is loaded by JumpStart) and it also does not care about file systems. macOS dictates FS stuff, not OC.

deeveedee Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 @Download-Fritz Thank you for the quick reply. Your response makes sense, but I'm almost certain that I've never needed to add the APFS EFI driver to OC before. I'm doing some testing that required me to revert to Catalina for macOS installation on a SATA SSD with OC 0.8.1. Without the APFS EFI driver, the 'macOS Install Data' volume was not visible to complete installation of macOS on the SATA SSD. I have installed macOS on SATA SSD before (with OC) and never needed to add the APFS EFI driver. It is very possible (and likely) that I am losing my mind, but I could have sworn that I never before needed to add the APFS EFI driver to OC's OC/Drivers folder (and config.plist).

mhaeuser Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 @deeveedee I mean, you don’t, you enable JumpStart and that’s the end of it. Your APFS driver is probably outdated. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/313/#findComment-2787978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) @Download-Fritz UEFI > APFS > EnableJumpstart is True in my config.plist. Without adding ApfsDriverLoader.efi, my 'macos Install Data' volume was not visible to complete Catalina install with OC 0.8.1. I have also enabled Kernel > Quirks > ThirdPartyDrives. There's definitely something strange going on. I don't want to waste your time, but if you can think of something obvious that I'm not doing (that would explain why I needed ApfsDriverLoader even though EnableJumpstart was True)... Thank you. EDIT: Maybe I also need JumpstartHotPlug? Testing now... EDIT2: @Download-Fritz I stumbled upon these issues here and here while trying to figure this out. I played with various combinations of GlobalConnect, JumpstartHotPlug and ConnectDrivers mentioned in the issues, but to no avail. With OC 0.8.1 (on USB) and without ApfsDriverLoader.efi, my hack does not list APFS volumes in the OC picker. My config.plist is attached. I'm going to take a break from this, since I must be missing something obvious and need a fresh set of eyes to examine again. I'm prepared to feel very stupid about the remedial mistake that I'm making. At this time with OC 0.8.1 and Catalina, no combation of EnableJumpstart, GlobalConnect, JumpstartHotPlug and ConnectDrivers "shows" APFS volumes. It is only with ApfsDriverLoader.efi that I'm able "see" APFS volumes on a SATA SSD when booting Catalina with OC 0.8.1. EDIT3: I also tried with UnblockFsConnect set to True and False as mentioned here, but that did not help. I'm going to revert to older OC to see if that resolves the issue. config.plist.zip Edited July 4, 2022 by deeveedee Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350754-opencore-general-discussion/page/313/#findComment-2787979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) @Download-Fritz I reverted to OC 0.7.1 (an arbitrary choice) and all is working (APFS, sleep). My 0C 0.7.1 config.plist is attached. config.plist.zip I got lucky with my arbitrary selection of OC 0.7.1. When I test with any OC versions newer than 0.7.1 (Catalina), APFS volumes are not visible in OC boot picker when Catalina is installed on a SATA SSD (no NVMe SSDs).

deeveedee Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) @Download-Fritz Thank you! I'll look at this and figure out what I need to change. I don't feel too stupid (just a little) - the MinDate/Version was something I generally ignored (big mistake). Not so simple after all. Thanks for taking the time to look. I know you're very busy. Hope you're well. @Download-Fritz After you set me straight with the MinDate/MinVersion issue, I have found that I need to revert to OC 0.7.5 in order to reliably sleep/wake on my HackMini8,1 with Catalina installed on a SATA SSD. I will continue to try to diagnose this problem in this thread. Thank you again for the assist.

deeveedee Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 @Download-Fritz Thanks again for your help. I have determined that my addition of boot-arg igfxfw=2 caused the sleep problem when my rig boots/runs MacOS from SATA SSD. I'm not sure why this is not a problem when running from NVMe SSD, but since the performance improvement resulting from this boot-arg is marginal, I'm removing it from my posted EFI baseline.

FredWst Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) @deeveedee Yes trial and error and big luck, 0x364 maybe it change for other platform and I'm not able to confirm. Even not sure it should solve your issu with different platform HP vs Dell, and other differences. It was just to share my case.
