[Release] macOS Sequoia 15.0

[Max.1974]

Download the tool aprimorated, in VoodooHDA post above, but its better if you try compile your own kext. 

 

Double click on blue icon, give password  and after create packages, run only VoodooHDA.pkg, give permissions and restart.

 

* * Remove AppleALC or eventually another VoodooHDA kext from EFI and AudioDXE driver, before run pkg. 

 

Good Lucky

Hello,

where is the progress of this project, which is interesting for the entire community? 

thanks for the work

Hey @PG7 we haven’t heard from @Austere.J about the Broadcom wifi project he’s working on, at least in this chat.

Hi,

here the same problem. GA-X48-DQ6 with a Q9550, GTX760 and Broadcom Wifi/BT. Sonoma 14.6.1 working without issues but afte the update to Sequoia I have a KP in rhe ACPI. Using bott arg CPUS=1 it boots well (after applying OCLP 2.0.1), with Wifi/BT enabled, but with only 1 core it's practically not usable.

I've seen that CpuTscSync.kext has been updated with commits adding sequoia, but the latest release is still 1.1.0. Could someone compile the latest code please? I'm not skilled on that.

Maybe that is the solution...

thx

test with the updated Bootloader as well as all kext 
VirtualSMC must be the latest version of Dortania
here it was resolved with a new installation and now you no longer need the args cpus=1 even though it's HP

Install normally and when it stall, black screen and mouse, shut down, put -x boot-arg. If you reach login, remove -x.

No not really, there maybe a flaw in your EFI.

I have attached a vanilla EFI Folder based on an iMac 20,1 model for you to test.

 

If successful, you'll have to furnish the config.plist with the usual data i.e S/N, ROM and UUID. Plus configure to your preferences after.

Also if your current Mac model is not based on a 20,1 Mac, you'll probably have to remap the USB ports and remove the InjectAll.kext.

 

Good luck.

I have been in situations where installing the beta first was the success after install failures. I will normally do this for a fresh install now and then update after.

 

Hello, I have tried to use -x as boot arg, it's getting to login page, I can suspend, shutdown and restart the computer.

Entering the password has no effect, it keeps forever the charging icon after entering the password, I see HD being used until some moment but it stops later.

I have tried without -x after, and I have the same situation. I will try to compare the EFI files you jointed. 

Thanks

I always delete this useless plugin so when I save the config, no need to deselect it

Right click to AirportBrcmFixup.kext  then Show Package Contents

Contents / Plugins / AirPortBrcm4360_Injector.kext

@Irish_Man

Try this, not sure if it is going to fix your  issue.

 

 

@chris1111 I didn't  know I can delete those, tnx.

@miliuco besides those 3 kexts all I had there was EnergyDriver.kext. I tried but no luck.

 

I didn't even know I have a problem since PC was wired until I tried to go with WiFI. 

As soon as I enable IOSkywalkFamily.kext I get that "can't perform kext scan: no kext summary" , regardless if OC-Patcher is installed/uninstalled or if patches were applied or not. 

I attached my config, if that helps.

config.plist

@Irish_Man

In the OCLP guide there is a section about this KP, I don't know if it is useful for you:

 

Quote

Kernel Panic Cannot perform kext summary
Generally seen as an issue surrounding the prelinked kernel, specifically that macOS is having a hard time interpreting the ones we injected. Verify that:

• Your kexts are in the correct order(master then plugins, Lilu always before the plugins)
• Kexts with executables have them and plist only kexts don't (ie. USBmap.kext, XHCI-unspported.kext, etc. does not contain an executable)
• Don't include multiple of the same kexts in your config.plist (ie. including multiple copies of VoodooInput from multiple kexts, we recommend choosing the first kext in your config's array and disable the rest).

Note: this error may also look very similar to Kernel Panic on Invalid frame pointer.

 

About your EFI

• Try with the recommended SSDTs (SDT-AWAC.aml, SSDT-EC-USBX.aml, SSDT-PLUG-ALT.aml) instead of ACPI.aml (only to see if it makes any difference)
• I guess that you loose Eth if you disable AppleIGC.kext, right? With this kext disabled, can you enable W-Fi kexts without KP? With this kext disabled, VT-D enabled in BIOS and disabling Kernel > Quirks > DisableIoMapper in config.plist
• Without  AirportBrcmFixup.kext, can you enable W-Fi kexts without KP? Does the Wi-Fi works?
• Do you need csr-active-config= EF0F0000? If not, try OLCP default 03080000.

I Have Annoying Bug, That's Probably Attributed To The 15Year Old iMac I Am Using

The Bug Is, I Drop A Picture Onto Photos, And It Doesn't Display It, Actually Doesn't Display Any Of My 

20000 Ones.

Maybe Updating The Dgpu In It May Fix The Problem

Just Wondering If Any Of You Hackintoshers May Have Had This Proble, ( I Highly Doubt it )

[miliuco]

@STLVNUB

Do you have Metal support in the GPU? Because OCLP devs say that "Note that the Photos app is broken on non-Metal Macs".

[deeveedee]

@Irish_Man Thank you for posting your config.plist.  This is why I said it was impossible (for me) to diagnose your problem with just a screenshot of your Kernel > Adds.

 

I think you know a problem, so I'm only going to give you a hint and let you solve this.  You are trying to overwrite Sequoia's IOSkywalkFamily.kext with an older version of the kext.  What is missing from the Kernel > Block section of your config.plist?

Ha, 15 year old dgpu, I Highly Doubt It, Replacing It With Slightly Younger One Will Probably Fix Issue

While I'm At It I'll Replace i5 With i7 Which I Already Have,

If It Works Ok May Double My Ram To 32GB As Well

Thanks For Your Input

I was referring to myself.  I'm envious of those who can diagnose and solve EFI-related problems without seeing the EFI.

[Irish_Man]

@miliuco Thx bud for all suggestions but what can we say after @deeveedee's post

How did I miss that part? I have no idea.

Is there a newer version of IOSkywalkFamily.kext? The one I'm using is working fine on my main build so I used that one. 

Btw, Kernel > Block part fixed everything, thank you @deeveedee for the hawk eye

Not sure if it’s macOS related or OpenCore but I have installed Sequoia release on a HP envy 8th gen and it runs great but it won’t boot from internal EFI after copying from USB. It just gets stuck at exit:bs log etc. booting the exact same EFI from USB works flawless.

Same as me, I think it's related to NVRAM
Remember the previous boot value and at the same time it will be stuck at the place you specified
I suggest you restart 1-2 times and it will be normal.

[Max.1974]

@SavageAUS if is possible, format again your SSD, and if not, use Disk Utility for repair permissions, I believe that you check your mapping kexts.

Also I would suggest to run 'First Aid' on the disk in 'Disk Utility' when you reach the desktop and look for any anomalies in the generated readout.

Reboot and clean NvRAM at least twice may help the situation.

 

If you've faithfully copied the EFI Folder from the installation USB to the drive, there should be no reason what so ever to be failing to boot from the main drive.

Other than that, I would suspect either the integrity of the EFI Partition of the Drive or the whole drive it self.

 

Hope you find the solution.

Good luck.

In my case, it's a little different. It only happens when switching between OPENCORE and CLOVER. That's it.

[miliuco]

@Irish_Man

 

IOSkyWalk.kext 1.2.0 is the latest and indicated for Sequoia.

@naiclub If you want to try both Clover and Opencore, use this method

I have been using it for some time

With all the details you provided, my best guess is a frayed power cord.

 

Start here and double-check your work.

IMHO that right there is inviting problems.

Let me explain, if I am multi-booting with different OS versions whether they are on the same drive or their own respective drives there is no way I would use different boot loaders, it is one or the other.

 

Not both. Even If I was that way incline, I would at least use one on a USB Drive to boot from.

That way it would greatly reduce any corruption of files, but if that is your thing then by all means.

 

In my system I have Windows, Sonoma and Sequoia all on separate drives with one EFI Folder on the EFI Partition of the Sequoia drive that gives me access to all to choose from.

Lately I have been re-educating my self on Clover by building a bootable EFI Folder. This was all done on a spare USB Drive, after a few trials and errors I managed to construct a bootable working EFI.

 

Even as I got it to work, there is not a chance I would use it along side my working OC configuration.

It is staying on that USB drive just to play with or in an emergency, but mixing the two for daily operation??!! Never. 

Well I just do the same thing. Clover on usb to test and OC on Sonoma ssd, I'm afraid both of them are quite a mess. BTW they boot. 

Unfortunately, because of my failures, it happens I'm beginning to talk with myself like Tom Hiddleston impersonating Christopher Walken.

Your help (if possible) could preventi this tragedy and give me back some puntuaction.

Thanks

You should remember to clean the NvRAM at least twice after each one.

Thanks. I already do it, especially when I use Clover. Seriously, as I wrote in other posts, my problem is fixing my EFI. I read and followed many suggests and the Dortania guide but the strange behaviour with some apps and the privacy and security issues must be EFI related. I'll work on it.
