Would you mind taking a look at my debug files , to suggest any droping tables? If there is a way to tell from debug files of course. There's no way to tell without looking at your tables' source, sans a few that are known to cause problems or are unneeded in macOS, mainly DMAR and BGRT. There are plenty of guides on patching ACPI tables, even on this site. But truthfully, if no one has already patched those tables you'll have to either grind through learning ACPI or find someone who has the time, knows ACPI already, and is willing to modify your config to drop and patch tables as needed.

So please advice me if you have some further input. sysctl -n machdep.xcpm.mode return 1 and yeas I have tried to inject FakeCPUID 0x050654 without success. This is without the fakeid? Or with?

Probably it is true and you really need this patch but I want to say that this is unique situation only for your DSDT. It can't be common. It depends, is it caused by the OEM modifying the firmware or because Aptio was modified and this propagated? He seemed to imply that two OEMs' motherboards with z730 chipset were affected. @Modmike, ACPI tables contain a lot of information related to graphics, it's possible that because the dGPU is there these addresses are corrected when read by macOS from the dGPU's ACPI table(s) instead of the iGPU's ACPI table(s) which then corrects issues.

I imagine what is happening is that there is an MSR not supported by your CPU that is by the mac-only models. You can boot with your original id right?

Can you not with your original id and the patch for scope_msrs? Did you not post two different pics in the other topic, one with pm and one without?

What exactly happens when you boot with your original id and the patch? Yes but even if I boot with Skylake X id 0x0506E4 the original id of Skylake W 0x050654 appears in the Darwin dump. The two pics in the other topics showing Darwin dump from my processor 2175 booted with 0x0506E4 and from an original iMac Pro1.1 with a 2140b processor. Both have the same id in Darwin dump 0x050654. Original id gives me Hang at end random seed +++++++++++ You wrote in the other topic that: "the problem is because of the specialization of the mac-only CPU models, it has an MSR that is not present in other CPUs." The last million dollar question is that there is a guy here with an ASUS C422 mobo and an original "Mac" Xenon W 2140b and he has exactely the same problem as we have with our processors. How can we explain that? I'm really confused here and unfortunately not qualified to solve the problems with my lack of knowledge. That's why I should be so grateful if you or anybody else could help me to find a solution.

apianti Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I was just speculating because that's what _xcpm_pkg_scope_msrs does, and you guys are getting it working by changing the id and skipping the call to that function. It's possible to not setup a device correctly from the firmware if it's not known that it needs setup in a certain way. I'm sorry, I meant the bootstrap patch, not the other. You posted that you used the bootstrap patch and then were able to boot but had full throttle, you had the correct situation then and you just need frequency vectors for your cpu to get pm.

So if I understand you correct I can try go with the bootstrap patch (with basically is just a FakeCPUId if I understand things correct) and then use PikerAlpha:s freqVectorsEditors script?

apianti Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 No, the bootstrap patch is not a fakeid unless you are using a patch for a different cpu. As far as I know the boot strap patch was designed for one of the other previous unsupported cpus and it probably wasn't modified since for other cpus since. 5 minutes ago, yapan4 said: The main desire is to get rid of any patches on this "Apple-native" HW.

Probably it is true and you really need this patch but I want to say that this is unique situation only for your DSDT. It can't be common. So more Asrock Z390 boards are getting hit with this issue. pupin gave a really clear example of why this is happening: For the record, older versions would contain this in DSDT: Device (RTC) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00") /* AT Real-Time Clock */) // _HID: Hardware ID Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () // _CRS: Current Resource Settings { IO (Decode16, 0x0070, // Range Minimum 0x0070, // Range Maximum 0x01, // Alignment 0x08, // Length ) IRQNoFlags () {8} }) } Newer versions of Asrock and Asus contain this: Device (RTC) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00") /* AT Real-Time Clock */) // _HID: Hardware ID Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () // _CRS: Current Resource Settings { IO (Decode16, 0x0070, // Range Minimum 0x0070, // Range Maximum 0x01, // Alignment 0x08, // Length ) IRQNoFlags () {8} }) Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status { If ((STAS == One)) { Return (0x0F) } Else { Return (Zero) } } } Asrock and Asus added a status method (_STA), which queries the STAS variable in the newer DSDTs. The problem is that the STAS variable is not initialized, and when the macOS DSDT parser checks Device(RTC) in the DSDT, it does not like this, and freaks out. Pupins patch changes the condition in the expression "If ((STAS==One))" to an always True condition, thus eliminating the problematic check, and resulting in RTC._STA() always returning 0x0F. Seeing that this affects 2 different board manufacturers makes him think that the error may possibly come from a newer version of APTIO. If this is the case, it might appear on more boards in the future. Is there a way to fix this in Clovers DSDT patcher?

apianti Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yeah, just compare the two binary tables together in a hex editor and that will give you the patch, just make sure that you search the original table with the source patch to make sure it doesn't repeat or you need to add some more of the data from around the source.

apianti Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Clover wiki has been migrated back to sourceforge to try to keep it as up to date as possible, and is now live. Please use this wiki as official from now on. https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/wiki/Home/ EDIT: You may comment fixes and suggestions to a page, but they are subject to moderation by admin (basically slice and I) unless you are a team member (but ultimately still manually moderated if necessary).

ea dd Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Hi, all Recently i started using Clover 2.4k rev 4844 and it could not boot Windows 10 with MBR partition + NTFS file system. Booting process throws below error. Of course, i always choose System Reserved partition for Windows 10 booting. Before this, i was using Clover 2.4k rev 4003 for long time and it can boot Windows 10 with MBR partition + NTFS file system without problem. Windows 10 with MBR booting feature is intentionally removed from recent clovers or is it bug? EDIT: Also i have r4813 and it has same problem when booting windows 10. Actually r4813 and r4844 are installed on USB stick and r4003 is installed on HDD partition not EFI. So i installed r4003 on USB and tried to boot Windows 10 from it and it fails as well. Error is same as before. So clover installed on USB could not boot windows 10 legacy? Can anyone check it? tnx, Edited April 22, 2019 by ea dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apianti Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) There is an issue with legacy booting from a different device not on the same bus, I am not sure there is a way to fix it because of firmware drive numbers appearing pretty much random to the EFI emulation.

I definitely know the bad words in some of these. :))) But, for these last ones, I can't say I speak well enough to get a translation done. So, in other words, yeah, that would help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
