OpenCore General Discussion

[can0199]

Hello folks,

has some one an idea why my usb devices are recognized as intern storage ? I want to install windows via bootcamp this not working because the error "no external flash drive was found" occurs. after some research i realized that all usb 2.0 are recognized as "intern" my usb type c flash drive is recognized correctly but also not working on bootcamp ^^

 

thanks in advanced

Attaching the config.plist and the two kext files.

Hmmm. config file looks ok on the entry for AstekFusion2Adapter.kext

 

Did you remember to actually copy the kexts to OC's kext folder ?

@Download-Fritz If i want to block the DSDT on the bios and use my patched one, should i create a dict in Block array and choose DSDT to be blocked? Also for changing the theme, should i use the files inside the resources folder from the OCBinary, but how it should work.

 

@Intel6600, can you compile the latest OC for me please, i can't use Xcode, because of damn Software Update 2020 that corrupt the entire MacOS for some Apple devices like my Mac Pro, also MacOS not updated i always have error while trying to install Xcode from App Store.

Got curious on how my boot log looks so I run the command above. I have these 4 lines which I think are errors. Other lines seems to look fine for me.

 

020-04-18 15:26:24.605113+0300  localhost kernel[0]: (AppleACPIPlatform) <AppleACPIPlatform`AcpiOsVprintf> ACPI Exception: AE_BAD_PARAMETER,

What does these 4 lines mean? Can they somehow be fixed?

 

 

Most likely buggy firmware in your motherboard.

macOS now checks ACPI implementations. Snooping hackintoshes (???).

AppleACPIPlatform kext changes regularly across and within macOS's but the firmware rarely so the kext  gets "picky" as time goes on.

They may not be serious errors if the system is working fine.

e.g on my real 2013 MacBook Pro, I see these:

ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.P0P2.GFX0._DSM:
Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package]

ACPI kext is much newer than the firmware on my ageing MacBook.

 

Unfortunately I don't know how to dig deeper into which part of the ACPI is in error.

Guys,

 

I need some assistance. I managed to make OC 0.5.8 work on my legacy P55 motherboard and works amazing! The only thing missing is to tweak the SMBIOS further to report my correct RAM speed to macOS (it shows 8GB of SDRAM).

 

Anyway. Based that OC doesn't want anything with Legacy, I tried to install Windows in UEFI mode but I can't. The windows installer sees my windows hard drive and can create all the partitions that are made in UEFI (Recovery, EFI, MSR and the actual primary partition) instead of the ones that are created on Legacy mode (System reserved and the primary partition). The problem is that when I click on next I get the message: We couldn't create a new partition or locate the existing one.

 

What can I do?

 

I have several disks for my OSes. Here's my setup:

- 128GB SSD for macOS.

- 750GB Hybrid hard drive for windows

- 500GB hard drive for a backup of my macOS install and another HFS partition for data. OpenCore is installed on this drive and selected as default on BIOS.

 

In the attached image, you see the error. In this case I was using a 160GB laptop hard drive to test the UEFI installation as I don't want to lose my actual legacy Windows install that its on my 750GB hybrid drive.

Guys,

 

Im new here. I finish to install a HS in my lenovo m93 + 1050Ti following the vanilla guide.
I have 2 problems that i cant solve by now. 

1 - I installed the webdrivers from nvidia running i script that i found here, the SIP is disabled, but i cant configure my GPU.

2 - I know the codec from my audio, but i dont know what to do with it. Just need to add in the config.plist? 

Thanks!

I converted my Clover based Catalina installation to OpenCore and everything is perfect. Amazing work by team Acidanthera @Download-Fritz @vit9696 @Andrey1970
 

However I now tried to upgrade my 10.15.2 installation to 10.15.4 (I’m using the full Installer), the Installer says that my Mac needs a firmware update to install to APFS volume and it asks me to pick a HFS+ partition instead. See the attached screenshot.

I can however workaround the problem by choosing Macbookpro14,1 instead of Macbookpro13,1 that I normally use. It seems OpenCore is spoofing / reporting  an older Boot ROM when using Macbookpro13,1. 
My hack is a Lenovo T460 laptop with i5-6300u and is better matched with Macbookpro13,1 but even otherwise the problem of spoofing an older Boot ROM seems to be a bug with OpenCore. I’m using OpenCore 0.5.7. What you all think?

Yes, both kexts are copied to the OC\Kexts folder. Is there any way to debug the invalid parameter error?

[ammoune78]

@Download-Fritz, i'm a bit about to reach the loginscreen, don't know what causes this stuck! I'm i missing something please? For infos, i'm using DSDT and a SSDT for USB ports injection. And attached the OC EFI

Anyone know why OC would KP after restoring a CCC backup? Was working perfectly fine before. 

 

Make matters worse OC is identifying the 'Catalina' named partition as 'CCC' which was what I

had called my backup from the live Carbon Copy USB backup..

 

Weird.

The GPU installed by itself after I complete all the updates from high Sierra, unexpectedly.

I tried some layouts to the audio codec, but my problem now is how to by-pass the audio via HDMI or DP

Hello guys,

 

Long time lurker and finally took the plunge with OC on a i7 7700 and Gigabyte H110M-S2H. I'm pretty familiar with Clover and the like.

 

Upon booting the installer, I get the attached screenshot error, not sure what to do with this? OC 5.6. 

 

Any assistance here please :)

Here you can Download the latest OC.

Been seeing this alot, on OC 0.5.7 since the last OS update. Only on the Ryzentosh, the skylake is on OC 0.5.6 with latest OS 10.15.4 SU with no such issue. I think it is coming from boot.efi and not OC though, not sure.

Some times have to restart multiple times to get it to boot.

 

[mhaeuser]

@moozuki Borked Ryzen patches are off-topic.

@flashgear Disable "MSR lock", "CPU CFG lock", or whatever the name is for your FW or, if unavailable, use the PowerManagement Kernel quirks

[moozuki]

I have the latest patches, thank you very much.

Now I have a blank screen after I select "macOS - External" in the loader screen.

 

Goes blank as soon I select it, where as my previous post above I could see the error text.

 

Using an RX Vega 64, any ideas??

No, the big Apple logo thing is not limited to Gigabyte.  I see the same thing happen with my Asus motherboard.

 

It's not a big deal to me though...

Sorry to resurrect this post, but I was wondering if you were ever able to resolve this (minor) issue. The Apple logo is oversized (on my 4K monitor, UIScale 02) until about 2/3 of the way through the boot process; then the screen goes blank for 5-10 seconds (sometimes long enough to trigger my monitor's energy saver on-screen prompt) and then the logo reappears, correctly sized, and my desktop loads. Kind of annoying, but I haven't found a way to fit (even tried moving from iMac19,1 to iMacPro1,1 - with no WEG - and it still happened).

Interesting. I have the other way around.

Mine boots with DPI scale logo until about 2/3, black screens for about 2-3 seconds then the big logo appears and finishes the boot.

Hi,

 

@Andrey1970

 

SilentKnight report an update for Macmini8,1 EFI

Mac model Macmini8,1

EFI version found 1037.100.359.0.0 expected 1037.100.362.0.0 iBridge 17.16.14281.0.0

 

Could you update MacInfoPkg ? and also made VirtualSMC recognize SMC Mac mini8,1 as V2 ?

The best you can do is here, to fix and turn off CFG Lock manually. Then no need:

• AppleCpuPmCfgLock: Yes
• AppleXcpmCfgLoc: Yes

I like this reply

On laptops its a pain.... 

 

In my case I can't turn off CFG Lock because my EUFI firmware is locked by the oem so I have to use those 2 quirks witch is not ideal...

 

Don't know if it affects power management but hey at least I can boot

Yeah, oems  are s*****g LapTop fimwares, nothing to do unless someone with same hardware found a trick. But in my case, no CFG Lock option on the firmware settings, this helped me to leave that screen and go to the next step .
