Does anyone know if it is possible to set the macOS partition as the default boot selection in the boot picker on Z390 boards with borked firmware. On my rig the picker always defaults to the first listed volume. I have LegacyEnable set to YES and have nvram.plist loading correctly. Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks.

@dgsga And you did read and follow the NVRAM emulation steps for Z390...?

I have something weird, the inject kext (USBPorts.kext, FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Intel_GBx.kext) not load at all, but according to the opencore debug log, the kext loads succuessfully.

This blocks me switch from clover.

I'm running Catalina with OpenCore 0.51 on my Gene VIII.

This is my first time using OC and can anyone check my config.plist to be sure the settings are correct for my system? I would like to keep the options to the minimum that works with my system.

Thanks.

you have to set ShowPicker=NO.

vit9696 · October 25, 2019

@Leoyzen, it is strange, and I would suggest you use kernel logs for tracing the issue. Add some debug code to FakePCIID init/probe/start methods and see what happens. Also check whether there is anything in the kernel log early at start.

Side note: you may actually be ok with just injecting vendor-id/device-id through DeviceProperties.

Hello all. I didn't see anything related to this when I hit search so I hope this helps. I've been AMD Hackintoshing with OpenCore and Vanilla Patches and I was not able to boot Windows out of the box. I solved this by adding an entry here:

OpenCore version: 0.5.2
Misc > Entries

The sample.plist config has a nice template if you use that. Here it is again for reference:

Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/cd8a046ce9920e5246a427e347f64ffe1ab63e2d/Docs/SampleFull.plist

Here is what I have modified:

                <string>IDENTIFIER/\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi</string>
            </dict>
        </array>

Here is what the identifer looks like for my machine:

You can use gfxutil to grab this path, but the way I did it was to boot EFI shell and run the following command:

*BOOT EFI SHELL*

Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> map > maps.txt

I then mounted my ESP partition and was able to copy and paste the info into the plist file:

I hope this helps somebody. Took me a bit of tries to get it working.

It becomes simply with BlessOverride.

1. Holdover from Clover, sorry

2. My hardware NVRAM works just fine

3. SSDT-PLUG.aml was adjusted for my board

4. no way in BIOS

5. All my drives are SATA.

Had to make USB installer and re-install Catalina to get it to boot again, not the best solution.

It seems everytime I update kexts or OC , it gets the unable to load kernel cache error.

Solved the problem! Had a bad copy of VirtualSMC.

This did not work for me. I just tested it. I'm booting Windows and Catalina off of the same drive and I already tried setting HideSelf to False. The only way I was able to get boot working is with this entry, which is why I posted it.

Good suggestion though!

ScanPolicy

(bit 10) — OC_SCAN_ALLOW_FS_ESP, allows scanning of EFI System Partition file system.

Custom Entries are the way to get your particular boot entry to show up, changing ScanPolicy to allow Scanning ESP is not a good idea, there's are potentially my drives and multiple EFI partitions from a system, it will pollute the boot menu with multiple additional unwanted entries.

If you have booter files on others ESP, means they to you are necessary. Otherwise why they there.)

According to your logic, i should put every app in my computer on the Dock, I am not sure if it's even possible...:)

Try this: ScanPolicy 722179 HideSelf -> NO.

Works for me.

My ScanPolicy is currently set to 0. I was under the impression this enables all volumes. Is this no longer the case?

It seems OpenCore 0.5.2 worked for your hackintosh. Would you share your config.plist for me because I always got reboot or freeze before login desktop in my Z77 hackintosh, but no problem booted by Clover.

I am using my own DSDT.aml and SSDT.aml and don't use any ACPI patches from OC

You need to change the 3 private fields below to match your system:

PlatformInfo->Generic->MLB

PlatformInfo->Generic->SystemSerialNumber

PlatformInfo->Generic->SystemUUID

Here's my error free config.plist for my signature system.

Set to YES on your UEFI->Quirks->ProvideConsoleGop

Well, it allows higher resolutions, but fails with the same "Missing external GUI protocol" message...

I have all UEFI Protocols enabled as I have drivers on my Clover - which is what I'm trying to mimic on OC config.
