What would stop OC booting one version of macOS but not the other? My current EFI will boot my Catalina install with no issues but stalls when booting either a HS installer or a Mojave Installer with 3 kexts not being injected.

 

 

Just my opinion: Have you define MaxKernel/MinKernel for different Darwin version or at least MinKernel (HSierra):

 

				<key>BundlePath</key>
				<string>Lilu.kext</string>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string></string>
				<key>Enabled</key>
				<true/>
				<key>ExecutablePath</key>
				<string>Contents/MacOS/Lilu</string>
				<key>MaxKernel</key>
				<string></string>
				<key>MinKernel</key> 
				<string></string> <------
				<key>PlistPath</key>
				<string>Contents/Info.plist</string>

Then you need to do more research and make sure that you have the correct scope in the SSDT-PLUG. \_PR.PRO0 vs \_SB.PR.PRO0 etc.

Do you have a working CPU Power management SSDT for your cMP5,1?

Its a real Mac, it already provides the correct CPUPM. Why would I create a SSDT for that?

[startergo]

@Pavo So here is my dilemma:

I inject only the board I'd and the SKU of the imacpro and with shikigva=144 I got HEVC encoding/decoding and all DRM playback. The SMC recognises all keys properly, but the CPU is locked at 3500 without idling. So my goal is to load my original SSDT CpuPM properly and discard the one which is not working. Or patch the ACPI names for proper reference. How can that be achieved in OC?

OK, so after hours of googling, it looks like OpenCore has a bug/issue/feature (whatever you want to call it), but the problem is that it doesn't load AppleHDA and so I get no sound.

 

Do I need to open a bugtracker ticket somewhere for this?

 

I have found a temporary solution, which is kind of weird, but OpenCore loads AppleHDA if I block a kext (I block HPET for what it's worth).

 

I can give complete specs of my machine if required. Would be great if OpenCore could be fixed so I don't need this workaround.

Here you might find interesting info and you might want to take a look at this repository and the way HPET is disabled via small SSDT, don't know if it cause any problems in Windows, you'd have to check it.

I don't use Windows, so not an issue. I see in IOReg that HPET came back anyway (must have been loaded by another kext later?)

Real issue has nothing to do with HPET in fact, but that the sound system is not working without this "hack" (AppleHDA not loading).

You should read Configuration.pdf or SampleFull.plist

 

[draylax]

Over the past week, many many hours (too many), I'm still unable to get my ASUS Gryphon Z97 machine to even boot with OpenCore. 

 

I configured the OpenCore config.plist exactly as displayed on:
https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/config.plist/haswell

 

Since that base didn't work, changed a million settings, and nothing will get this hardware to boot, OpenCore Menu just hangs in most cases.

 

Maybe this ASUS Gryphon Z97 board is just buggy, not entirely surprised. I had 2 Z87 Gryphon's replaced and 3 Z97 Gryphons replaced because none of them were able to power/charge iPads on any USB port albeit ASUS product market say the USB ports have special additional power for this function, it never worked in any OS. Not even Android devices when connected ever get recognised!! Also strange random things happen with Video Cards in different PCI slots, monitors connected would switch around constantly, left would be boot screen, the right would be boot screen (Windows and Mac) sometimes no monitor will get signal if video card in last PCIe slot. Nvidia blamed Asus, Asus blamed Nvidia, sigh, Windows and Hackintosh.

I have a Clover config working but can't get SATA Hot Plug working though.

 

MaciASL won't compile my system DSDT or SSDT, some compile errors.

 

Is there a Linux equivalent to MaciASL I could try test if compile on a Linux Live Boot?

 

I attach Asus_Gryphon_Z97_MaciASL.dsl_aml_Files.zip with my System DSDT.dsl and System SSDT-1.dsl that won't compile and all the aml files that did compile.

 

Attach my working Clover EFI folder.

 

Attach a fresh new OpenCore Builder EFI folder, untouched.

 

Anyone able to take a look?

 

I trashed all the previous config files and decide to start fresh.

Fix HPET in ACPI. (Add IRQ in HPET)

I thought I was ready for Catalina 10.15.2 from Mojave 10.14.6 but it seems I didn't read enough. Im sure I've missed something simple. I get to the progress bar then I just reboot.

 

Attached are two screen shots I grabbed with the fast scrolling in -v along with my current EFI. 

 

For what its worth I can reset NVRAM and enter Recovery. Im currently reinstalling from here now.

 

One note, even though I've renamed the drive to "Catalina", the OS shows up in Picker as Mojave. Im assuming this is my best lead. Any help is more than welcome.

Still no go. This is a new one for me.

 

I use WEG for my RX580 though it's not completely necessary I guess. Do you not?

 

Hmm any other ideas?

the only thing i can think of you bios is not correct an these 2 kexts in pic an for bios

update to current bios (2401) adjust
Boot/secure boot
os type other
key management clear secure boot keys
Adanced/system agent
VT-d disable
above 4g doesnt matter
Graphics configuration/ primary Display PCIE
PCH storage config / SATA mode selection/AHCI

 

an block out these ssdt

Bios is updated and I tried slimming down the ACPI patches as well. So strange.

 

I feel like there's one more step to the installation that isn't launching.

you should have a running system before attempting to use opencore an must be functioning first on an established machine

Sorry I don't think I gave you enough info here. My apologies.

 

This is was a fully functioning Mojave 10.14.6 machine with OC 0.5.4. I started at 0.5.0 and have been following along with each update. 

 

I've been waiting on a piece of software to become compatible with Catalina to update and it finally did yesterday. Yay!

 

So in short I've got an established system and working EFI, I'm just for some reason getting caught up here. Also, I receive the same error with Clover.

 

@Pavo, have you come across this? If you don't have time for this then just ignore the tag.

Not sure why was it not visible. So here is the issue. When booted normally and I grep the CPU info everything appears correctly.

When I boot through OC the CPU frequency is improperly set in about this mac and grepped.:

As you can see the CPU frequency is

Yet it is read properly from OCCPU at boot:

Update: I disabled SATA in my bios and everything is fine. Likely due to my rename of SAT0 to SATA.

 

@Erroruser when you sent me back an adjusted config, why did you enable Legacy Schema?

[MustafaK1]

My windows partition stopped booting after using opencore. I narrowed this down to and UEFI variable called MonotonicCounter-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c that is being created by simply using booting opencore. To fix windows I have to remove this variable from linux (cd /sys/firmware/efivars && chattr -i Mono.. && rm -f Mono...)

 

Why does opencore do this? What is this used for and where is the code that is creating this actually located?

 

Kind regars
