Why does nobody read manuals???

 

Just my opinions: I thinks many users read the excellent configurations.pdf, but they are not all English-speaking or experts. Which explains why there is confusion. So they come here to look for answers and help. 

 

In the repo, there is only reference manual for 0.5.1. Where I can find manual for latest release 0.5.0.

Why are you using XhciPortLimit-patch when you already have the Z270-XHCI.kext? Don't change anything in the config.plist I provided you earlier.  

XhciPortLimit -> NO. 

 

And then you should update to 0.5.0

 

Ah, sorry about that. I misread the manual and thought it’s necessary for the XHCI kext. Will reset it and let you know how it goes. 
 

will upgrade once it is stable for few days

 

thanks

English is not my native language to. But it is not hard for me to open config.plist and compare it with Sample.plist from latest release. 

 

Also Configuration.pdf gives clear information about mistakes and invalid plist objects. 

 

Quote

Reading malformed OC config file leads to undefined behaviour. Examples of malformed OC config cover at least the following cases:

• files non-conformant to plist DTD
• files with unsupported or non-conformant plist objects found in this document

• files violating size, nesting, and key amount limitations

It is recommended but not required to abort loading malformed OC config and continue as if no OC config was present. For forward compatibility it is recommended but not required for the implementation to warn about the use of invalid values.

 

P.S. OpenCore is in BETA status. Changes in config.plist structure is a regular development process.

Without looking at your config, I can tell you this:

 

- ACPI>Quirks>resetLogoStatus should be written :ResetLogoStatus

- UEFI>ProvideConsoleControl needs to be removed, as it was removed from previous versions of OC.

Thanks to @Pavo for pointing these out to me in the past.

 

 

Hey thanks a lot for this tip ! it finally did remove the error texts pertaining to resetlogostatus and ProvideConsoleControl

now I just have to figure out why that other error text pops up, thanks again !

Guys! Cleanup your config.plist according to latest Sample.plist and configuration.pdf!!!!

IgnoreForWindows is deprecated!!!

ResetLogoStatus should be with big R

ProvideConsoleControl is also deprecated!!! 

 

Why does nobody read manuals???

 

Don't mad us  @vandroiy2012. I am really reading manuals. How can we see the changes on the doc? is there any way to found it? Before ask, I know the IgnoreForWindows dropped on v0.0.3 cause I can see clearly on this action version changelog but I don't see anything about ProvideConsoleControl when this dropped or removed we don't see this any of versions changelog.

Hi, is there any method to hide just this pre boot text pop that shows for a couple of seconds before booting through nicely with the Apple logo ? Thanks and happy testing everyone !

 

xcode has changed a tag from integer to real because you have 'copy and paste' a value with dots from another config.

 

From Terminal:

cd /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/
# test
cat ./config.plist | grep "real>"
# solve
cat ./config.plist | sed "s/real>/integer>/g" > ./config-new.plist
# vertify
diff -u ./config.plist ./config-new.plist
# activate
mv ./config-new.plist ./config.plist

Except that it was in the changelog, we also have this: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/blob/0.5.0/Docs/Differences/Differences.pdf

Sorry, everything people are asking for is already available.

There is a timeout like a clover. If you do not choose anything on the boot screen it will boot first selected drive automatically. I guess timeout set 7 sec by default.

let's look at your EFI folder

[hardcorehenry]

Anyone has PollAppleHotKeys working on PS2 keyboard? With PollAppleHotKeys=YES, ShowPicker=NO and AppleGenericInput.efi no success while boot with pressed OPT or with constantly pressing Esc. Just direct boot into startup disk(partition) system.

Thanks for response. Was going to abandon this mission. Any hint how to reach -v or -s with hotkeys on PS2.
