zefram69 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Hey all!  I've been stuck on Mojave for a while, and with every bit of software telling me that the OS was no longer supported, decided it was time to upgrade. 😄  I followed the OC documentation, redid the setup a few times.. and finally got into the installer and installed on a different partition. But now, when I try to boot that partition it loads successfully and shows me the Apple logo, as does the USB installer. The USB installer shows it to me for ~10s and then works, however the upgraded partition shows it for ~17s and then just shuts down.  There's no kernel panic, no error that I can see (the messages are flying by too fast, I even tried to take some pictures but they were blurry. I made sure that I didn't have any kexts I didn't need, and tried a few different options but nothing seems to have worked. Here's my config.plist:  https://pastebin.com/GCaFf9WW  Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cankiulascmnfye Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 (edited) There are config errors. Open the Config in ProperTree and click on File>OC Snapshot.  There is also an issue with the Kext Loading Sequence for Bluetooth and Wifi kexts. One of the BT kexts is a nopatchram the other one is patchram, btw.  Check this for the correct order: https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/tree/main/10_Kexts_Loading_Sequence_Examples#example-7-broadcom-wifi-and-bluetooth  You should also implement MinKernel and MaxKernel settings, to control which kexts load for which macOS version      Edited November 17 by cankiulascmnfye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zefram69 Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 Hey! Thanks for the quick reply!  I followed you advice and did those things, but it's still not working. I've even disabled the kexts that I don't 100% need, and we're still getting the reboots. Here's the updated config:  https://pastebin.com/c1jQchrt  There is a validation error, but I can't figure out what exactly it's talking about: NOTE: This version of ocvalidate is only compatible with OpenCore version 0.9.6! OCS: No valid serialized value at 0 index! Serialisation returns 1 error! Completed validating EFI/EFI/OC/config.plist in 1 ms. Found 1 issue requiring attention. But I'll remind you, it does actually get into the Apple logo before it shuts itself down. It seems like it's fully booted, and either running an upgrade task (although, it's not saying that) or just booting up the full OS.  I forgot to mention before, but (kinda annoyingly) the recovery partition does start up successfully after every "crash".

minty_flare Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 Hi Zefram, was your opencore already up to date? Currently we are on 0.9.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcaneRhapsody Posted Friday at 01:59 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:59 PM I second @minty_flare's suggestion. Sometimes an outdated OpenCore can cause weird issues, especially with newer versions of macOS.  Also, have you tried booting in verbose mode to catch any specific error messages? It might give you a clearer idea of what's happening right before the shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zefram69 Posted 19 hours ago Author Share Posted 19 hours ago Hey guys! I am using OpenCore 0.9.6. And I am booting with verbose mode. Â I'm currently running MacOS on this hardware, and I do tend to boot in verbose mode... and I know that once the boot is done it'll show the Apple logo and then the account picker.. But with the Ventura install (I couldn't find a Sonoma installer), it gets to that same point and just shuts itself down. Â One thing that I noticed is that there is a partition on the drive named Update, which doesn't appear in Finder but does in Disk Utility... I wonder if some part of the update process is broken?
