Hi @nmano, could you please explain why do you use patches for XCPM support for Xeons in a separate topic? OpenCore should have these builtin as explained in https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/365. We got a question from a user who found this and got very confused as this is definitely not what we designed.

• Cpuid1Data/Cpuid1Mask are a replacement for xcpm_bootstrap patch (and FakeCPUID), and they should really be <d4 06 03 00 (fake id)…> <ff ff ff ff… all zeroes> correspondingly.
• AppleXcpmCfgLock and AppleXcpmExtraMsrs should cover all the other patches

Perhaps something went wrong? Could you please provide us with the details?

Thanks @vit9696

Cpuid1Data-> 54060500 00000000 00000000 00000000

Cpuid1Mask->D4060300 00000000 00000000 00000000

Still I have to fix

ProcessorType not work properly.

If I run Geekbench 5 restart my system before report.

This topic for X99 XCPM patches get CPU p-States and CPU C3-Cores.

@pitrysha, thanks for the test, this makes good sense to me.

 

@nmano, you do not understand what Cpuid1Data and Cpuid1Mask are, your values are garbage. See what @pitrysha did.

Cpuid1Data D4060300 00000000 00000000 00000000

Cpuid1Mask FFFFFFFF 00000000 00000000 00000000

 

As for ProcessorType, you set 0xF01, but it is only compatible with 8, 10, 14, or 18 cores.

Attached are some bootlogs achieved with opencore 0.53 debug version

I have used two different rigs (AMD rigs) thanks to @iCanaro of macos86.it for his working 3950x system

3950x is working

3970x is not working
I would like to understand if also for opencore devs these logs seem similar as it seems to me..so problem is not related with bootloader itself but maybe some missing patches

 

Inside also a clover debug log

 

Thank you for your time and skills!

@fabiosun, from the logs it looks like boot failed at boot.efi stage. Most likely due to memory allocation failure. Unfortunately we do not know any resolution at the moment and we also have no plans to perform any investigation as AMD is not a priority for us for the time being.

If  do not enable the CPU Emulate or Patch _xcpm_bootstrap © Pike R. Alpha, the system will not boot. Сan enable PMDrvr.text instead. How right?

Anyone have an idea why my OC stalls out when I connect a second bootable SATA SSD to the motherboard? Used with just one SATA drive, I can boot perfectly into Mojave in about 13 seconds and everything work perfectly. If I connect a second SSD with Windows or another MacOS install, OC takes over 4 minutes to reach the picker menu. I also can't boot up Windows if I try. If I use a Clover USB stick, I can see and boot from both drives fast and without issue.

 

Here is my EFI folder

Here is a log of a fast, single drive boot.

Here is a log of a stalled, dual drive boot.

 

I added the photo of my monitor because there is more info displayed at the point it gets stuck than what's written to the log. How could I get the log to write even more? I have debug target set to <75>

 

This EFI and config were made following the Vanilla Desktop Guide to the best of my abilities. I also tried this without the UsbKbDxe.efi and I tried swapping the VBoxHfs.efi for HFSPlus.efi with no change.

Thank you for any insight!

pictures you attached is a normal beahviour for your Haswell EP CPU (v3 xeon)
you can use  kext or normal patching with the help of bootloader you want to use as suggested in previous message

V4 xeon are Broadwell EP and can work well the same using proper Patches and fakecpuid or using automatic bootloader way to patch it

Higher and modern cpu as 7980xe or 9980 xe are different and they could need only an unlocked CFG lock parameter in motherboard bios to work
I think @nmano cpu problem with geekbench is a different problem, maybe with some failure in components of his rig

Hi, i recently moved to opencore but I have been having some weird crashes. It happens randomly at any time without any warning or error messages after hard reboot. I managed to grab a picture when it happened: 

 

 

 

Everything works on my machine, don't know if it's nvram related or some missing configuration.

 

System specs:

MB: MSI B250I Gaming Pro AC

CPU: i7 7700

GPU: HD630

RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400

NVME: Samsung 970 Pro 1TB

WIFI: TP Link AC1300 Archer T6E

get an AMD GPU (RX 560/570/580 or Vega 56/64), disable the damn HD630, then use MacPro7,1 SMBIOS

Thank you OpenCore Developers for implementing the latest XCPM patch.

I would like to give some context here for other users, still working on the X99 platform.

 

With the new  

AppleXcpmForceBoost

you dont need the performance patches anymore, that were needed to get a decent system running. So with the other XCPM patches, no kernel patches are required anymore... everything is covered by the XCPM Quirks.

This might be useful in the documentation as well.

So basically I can get rid of the following patch I have used so far (and that patch also needed constant updates):

 

Comment    String  <-> XCPM Performance fix by @PMheart 
Disabled   Boolean <-> No
Find       Data<-> C1E30848 63D389D0 48C1EA20 
MatchOS    String <-> 10.14.x,10.15.x
Replace    Data<->C1E308B8 00FF0000 31D29090 

 

it seems now that the only kext-patch in the Kernel section for X99 boards is the IOPCIFamily one, without it the system will not boot due to kernel panic.

Comment         String  <-> 5960XPatch 10.14 by PMHeart
Disabled        Boolean <-> No
Find            Data<-> 483D0000 0040
InfoPlistPatch  Boolean <-> No
MatchOS         String <-> 10.14.x,10.15.x
Name            String<-> IOPCIFamily
Replace         Data<-> 483D0000 0080

Would it make sense to implement this as a Quirk as well?

 

Mike

 

Edit:

After some more testing, AppleXcpmForceBoost is not needed. The other XCPM Quirks do the job perfectly.

My conclusion is that AppleXcpmForceBoost is not needed for X99 systems most likely, in my case even caused problems around sleep.

 

Thanks, Mike

What would be the appropriate way to disable Discrete GPU on my laptop with _OSI Darwin, current SSDT:

DefinitionBlock("", "SSDT", 2, "V330", "_DDGPU", 0)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.RP01.PEGP.HGOF, MethodObj)
    Device(RMD1)
    {
        Name(_HID, "RMD10000")
        Method(_INI)

            }
        }
    }
}

Also the SSDT to combine Dual Batteries would be appreciated as well:

// Lenovo V330-15IKB Dual Battery Support SSDT with Hotswap capability

get an AMD GPU (RX 560/570/580 or Vega 56/64), disable the damn HD630, then use MacPro7,1 SMBIOS

 

Yeah i was thinking about that yesterday. I dont know if i should get a vega 64 card or a newer 5700 navi card.

 

Do you think that the hd630 is causing the issue?

I've just made the switch from Clover to OpenCore and generally everything is working great once it's booted. My only problem is that I use FileVault and my boot process seems to hang for anything from 20-60 seconds with the Apple logo on the screen before I'm asked for my password.

 

I've attached my OC debug log, the issue seems to be in this section:

 

04:091 00:003 OCABC: Only 187/256 slide values are usable!
04:095 00:003 OCABC: Valid slides - 0-167, 237-255
24:547 20:452 Trying XNU hook on System\Library\PrelinkedKernels\prelinkedkernel
24:561 00:013 Kext reservation size 7979008
25:340 00:779 Result of XNU hook on System\Library\PrelinkedKernels\prelinkedkernel is Success
25:356 00:015 OC: Read kernel version 19.2.0 (190200)

I'm using the OC Debug version with Target 83 verbose debugging, but nothing shows on the screen except that logo during the hang.

 

System: iMac17,1 - i7-6700k, Asus Z170 Pro w/ RX 580 GPU

@Mike Ranger, ForceBoost was broken at the time you tried it. It should be fixed now, but indeed I strongly do not recommend it, as it maxes frequency. The quirk is designed for specialised setups. The PCI patch is implemented in master, but we cannot test it.

 

@Sniki, generally we use WhateverGreen to disable discrete GPU. As for battery, I am afraid somebody else knows better.

 

@floodlitworld, this sounds like an older Dell issue. Please check UEFI → Input preferences. Perhaps playing with the timer resolution will improve the situation for you. Also make sure there are no conflicting UEFI drivers, just in case.

I'm only running ApfsDriverLoader, FwRuntimeServices, HFSPlus and VirtualSmc in my drivers, so nothing I can drop there.

 

This is the config I'm running.

I'm running a TimerResolution of 60000 since I have an ASUS motherboard.

@floodlitworld, try with 0. 60000 only applies to ASUS Z87 boards.

Tried 0, 10000, 40000, 50000, 60000 and 100000 and none seem to make much of a difference (10000 and 40000 took ages and sent me to a Reset Password Recovery menu).

Not sure we can help with this. Does password menu appear quickly if you set KeySupport to NO? You may not be able to access OpenCore menu in this casem however.
