what changed in v2922?

Update: oh my bad.. APFS

APFS is not (yet) inside the official build: I am still cleaning the code, so I told ErmaC to wait until I give him the green light.

However, if you are interested, you can follow the specific topic where the "unstable" Enoch versions with APFS support are posted.

Badruzeus · October 19, 2018

Thanks for Enoch r2921, booting macOS 10.14.1 Beta just fine on my Asus laptop with 2nd Gen CPU + Nvidia GF119.

Oh yeah, I just realized it has embedded FakeSMC already.. so I previously got kernel panic when by mistake; placed VirtualSMC.kext on /E/E (I think).

It’s great to see good old Chameleon’s still raging on!

Anyway, I lost my 2 preinstalled OSes upon Enoch boot; they are Ubuntu & Android x86 (UEFI). But strange is Windows (UEFI) is still there, uhmmb.. do I need to place "grubx64.efi" on USB's ESP (I was booting from this disk) for Linux based, and or do I need specific *.efi driver? Or, Enoch is currently still has no support for UEFI yet. No longer using Chameleon for long time, so.. I hope my quetions are still normal due to my ignorance.

They are not "lost": It is just that Enoch does not recognize them.

I have to look inside the source code, but I would assume that there is support for at least Linux OSes...

Keep in mind that Enoch is completely different from Clover in its behavior:

- Clover uses the EFI binaries to boot an OS (That's why Clover got APFS from scratch, w/o any modification)

- Enoch is faking EFI structures, and does not "understand" .efi files

So, adding .efi files is a "no-op".

Will Chameleon or Enoch support booting Catalina? Thanks.

Porting from Clover r4979 with new EXT, SIP, HP Lapic-Error kernel patch method.

Compile the Enoch boot based on Enoch r2921, with patched kernel_patcher_internal.c.

Works fine here on 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15 MBR HFS+ partition, not test for HP Lapic-Error.

@ErmaC FYI.

v2. fix typo.

Thx crazybirdy.

Here the pkg builded with the modification...

I just add icon boot volume the name is like device_hfsplus_cat.png and device_hfsplus_cat_o.png

removed

No time to other thing sorry

Great, the pkg works fine here on on 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15. :thumbsup_anim:

update v3, works fine here on on 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15.

1.fix typo,

2.remove KernelLapicVersion, we need KernelLapicError for HP BIOS only, never need KernelLapicVersion.

@ErmaC

Again, Clean up code to remove KernelLapicVersion.

V4 works fine here on on 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15.

Succeeded boot 10.15 on my Asus A43SJ with Enoch r2922 (Legacy, HFS+ partition). Got KP several times previously after placing FakeSMC / VirtualSMC kext on /Extra/Extensions till I realized that Enoch already embedded FakeSMC lol.. Many thanks.

Hi ErmaC,

The KernelPatches on kernel.plist, and KextsPatches on kexts.plist didn't work well.

Do you know how to solve it?

It seems "Unable to find the _PrelinkInfoDictionary" issue.

I can patch it manually, but on the fly didn't work.

Hi crazybird.

This occur on the new 10.15 (Catalina?) or also occur in previus macOS version like mojave or hSierra?

Not sure but probably the part on boot2/drivers.c (start from line1558) need to be update too... latest info are for HSierra!!! missed Mojave and Catalina (I think also the latest kernel info for HSierra is not completly correct)

It still didn't work after update /i386/boot2/drivers.c

Enoch-r2922-10.15-v5.zip

I never use KernelPatches on kernel.plist, and KextsPatches on kexts.plist before.

This is the first time I use it.

And test with Enoch r2872, r2911 on 10.12 with KextsPatches on kexts.plist.

No lucky too.

Maybe it never work before.

I can suggest to load the entire file until the end instead of searching for the last tag?

if (prelinkDictStartLocation)
{
	prelinkDictEndLocation = uncompressed_size;
}

or whatever is the end of the entire prelinkedkernel.

My bad, it's not i386/boot2/kernel_patcher_internal.c issue.

"Unable to find the _PrelinkInfoDictionary" is always happened with -f.

It seems to be i386/libsaio/binaryPatcher.c issue.

TagPtr ReplacePtr = XMLGetProperty(index, (const char*)"Replace");

It seems can't patch with correct "Find" and "Replace".

You just found out why cannot found '_PrelinkInfoDictionary'. If you run the kernel '_PrelinkInfoDictionary' surely can't be there. So I suppose is just a cosmetics issue and you should just silent the message when -f is given. I guess.

No,

boot without -f, load prelinkedkernel, it found _PrelinkInfoDictionary as normal, and run the kexts patcher.

boot with -f, load kernel and kexts, it "Unable to find the _PrelinkInfoDictionary, kexts patcher skipped.Kexts patcher: end!.", but still run the kexts patcher after load /System/Library/Extensions.

I mean, "Unable to find the _PrelinkInfoDictionary, kexts patcher skipped.Kexts patcher: end!." is not the issue.

The problem is i386/libsaio/binaryPatcher.c issue as above.

It can't patch with correct "Find" and "Replace".

It's clear that with -f it patch loaded kexts from SLE, why I said it's normal that cannot found the _PrelinkInfoDictionary.

About this error instead:

User Error, Find is bigger than the hole data, patch skipped

I'm worried about "sizeof(FindPtr->data)" and comparing to dataLen. I suspect sizeof(FindPtr->data) produces different result you expected.

That's maybe the issue, but we should focus on only one condition.

boot without -f, load prelinkedkernel,

The kext patcher didn't work right.

But I don't know how to fix it.
