I am having a heck of a time getting my USB Controllers to work in my VM. I see others are having success. Can someone help?
 

I have successfully passed the controllers into the VM, both show up in DCPIManager.

 

1) Integrated USB controller 82801JI (ICH10 Family) EHCI Controller #2

 

DCPIManager says it is loading AppleUSBEHCIPCI.kext
But OS X sees nothing attached. No power to devices.

 

2) VIA Technology USB 3.0 (native support)

 

DCPIManager says it is loading AppleUSBXHCIPCI.kext

A USB flash drive works fine. The drive is mounted and ejects fine.

An apple mouse does not. I plug in the mouse and it blinks red a couple times and then stops blinking.

A Microsoft webcam (native support) appears attached but continually disconnects and I am seeing, when attempting to use the video/audio, on my host logs:

Nov 19 00:42:06 pve kernel: DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
Nov 19 00:42:06 pve kernel: DMAR: [INTR-REMAP] Request device [04:00.0] fault index 1f [fault reason 34] Present field in the IRTE entry is clear
Nov 19 00:42:06 pve kernel: DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 102

None of these problems are present on my windows VM with nearly identical config. Both USB controllers work flawlessly. Every device attached to them work flawlessly. And I know these devices work when attaching them to my physical hack.

 

My video and audio (also ICH10) are working via passthrough into Sierra.

 

I believe its a DSDT issue because I am also having problems when passing USB devices/ports individually without PCI passthrough. No devices appear under the standard USB IO names EHCI/UHCI/XHCI in ioreg.

 

Also the devices do appear to be powered up in Clover. The problems happen when loading Sierra.

 

I don't know what else to try. Please let me know if you can think of anything I can try. Thanks!

Only USB 1.1 devices can be passed to a macOS guest without the PCI passthrough of a corresponding USB controller. For USB 2 and 3 devices, PCI passthrough of the corresponding (and supported) USB controller must be done.

Hi,

 

I got my macOS Yosemite VM working with GPU passthrough like 2 years ago by reading this thread.

 

I don't use this VM much, only when photo editing in Lightroom.

 

So I just tried to start it but it stops at this message in the QEMU window:

AppleCredentialManager::start called
AppleKeyStore starting (BUILT: ...)

Except of updating my Ubuntu machine from 17.04 to 17.10, I don't think I changed anything in the launch script.

 

Interesting thing, if I remove the two lines for VFIO gpu passthrough and add a qxl device, then I get a working macOS Yosemite in a QEMU window with 800x600 resolution only.

 

What's wrong and what can I do?

 

Thanks.

 

Here is my script:

sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs'

I try to run macOS High Sierra with QEMU and NVIDIA passthrough but getting black screen on boot. I can see the Apple boot logo going to about 75%, then turning off all 3 monitors (2x DVI, 1x HDMI). I cannot access remote display but ssh shell (see below).

Same config works with Win10/7 passthrough.

 

Installed latest Nvidia Web Drivers for 10.13.3. Latest Clover 4380.

CPU Core I5, GPU GTX 970

 

QEMU line is:

I have created a 10.13.3 install image, and installed to a 128GiB qcow2 image, using the Kholia/OSX-KVM boot-macOS-HS.sh script, doctored to use a bridge network interface, but I can't boot with a passthrough, and the libvirt image doesn't want to boot, either.

And the libvirt script fails to boot it. I modified it to use 4 core, 8 thread, host CPU (i7 3770), no virtual graphics, passing through all of the devices mentioned above, and it simply boots to the Tianocore logo, spinning all 8 threads, then eventually getting stuck spinning only one core, without actually hitting Clover.

 

I notice the libvirt scripts have been updated, but the boot-passthrough.sh script hasn't been updated in a few months.

 

I would prefer to get this working with the libvirt method, as that's what I use to maintain my other virtual machines, including automatic startup on system boot, and automatic shutdown on host reboot or shutdown.

You must always set the CPU to Penryn; otherwise, Clover won't work. Also, make sure you are using the premade Clover image and OVMF_CODE file from the OSX-KVM place.

 

There are issues with the recent version of Clover and OVMF that prevent you from booting a Hackintosh install on qemu.

 

 

The boot-passthrough.sh script, doctored to pass in my AMD RX 480, 01:00.0 and 01:00.1, and my USB interfaces, 00:14.0 00:1a.0 and 00:1d.0, using separate device lines, fails:

qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0: vfio: error opening /dev/vfio/1: No such file or directory

 

You probably need to using modprobe to load the vfio-pci driver and manually bind the GPU to VFIO:

 

echo "1002 6719" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id

echo "0000:01:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver/unbind

echo "0000:01:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/bind

echo "1002 6719" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/remove_id

 

echo "1002 aa80" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id

echo "0000:01:00.1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.1/driver/unbind

echo "0000:01:00.1" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/bind

echo "1002 aa80" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/remove_id

I managed to get it working, both with the distribution stock OVMF and the repository supplied OVMF. The issue with that was replacing the VARS image with the one matching the correct CODE image, or else it wouldn't boot at all.

Note the overriding CPU flags. I also had to leave out AVX2, since my CPU doesn't support that.

 

It boots, it gets past hardware enumeration if I set Clover to boot in verbose mode, but when it gets to loading the hardware drivers, it fails to attach either my display or my USB interfaces, leaving them in a seemingly detached state. The displays shut off, the USB mouse disconnects, but my USB keyboard appears to recognize caps lock and toggles its state LED. There doesn't appear to be much I can do with the machine at that point.

 

E: I managed to get it to boot, by configuring Clover with Graphics > RadeonDeInit, but now I have stuttering audio that I did not experience under my Windows VM. I assume that this stupid thing is too sensitive and needs CPU core isolation, which is total bullpucky.

As I don't get gpu passtrough anymore on Ubuntu 17.10 I'm trying to update my setup by following instructions there: https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

 

The problem I have is that it's getting confusing over there as instructions for Enoch bootloader, UEFI/Clover bootlaoder and High Sierra are multiplying and getting mixed in cross-references.

 

With this post I'm trying to eliminate unknown variables from the equation.

 

First, I'm trying to figure out if the patched QEMU is still needed.

This step is not optional and is required. QEMU 2.10.1 shipped with Fedora 27 works fine too

Ubuntu 17.10, which was not yet released when most of these instructions were written in August 2017, now also ships with QEMU 2.10 as Fedora 27.

 

Anybody on Ubuntu 17.10 can tell me?

Put the included q35-acpi-dsdt.aml file into EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/origin location

This is in UEFI instructions but not in High Sierra with Clover instructions. Is that still necessary?

 

 

Thanks all

Just to bump this thread, I was able to get Mojave up and running but it took quite some work. I had to do the following:

 

1. Fix my broken Arch install (glibc fail with Pacman)

2. Compile a custom version of qemu (checked out tag v2.12.0)

3. Compiled a custom OVMF with EPT Read Only tables disabled. I had to reach out for a patch on this code. Patch worked.

4. Install Mojave as usual.

 

I am not redirecting graphics as I intend to do some kernel debugging work and it is not needed. However, redirecting should work fine as usual. Latest clover works.

Hey,

 

So I am trying to do something different.

 

So I have a working VM High Sierra with passthrough running on the GTX 660. Problem is there is a horrendous tearing/glitching issue with the 660 and I haven't found a solution for it. The 660 is not a bad card and can push my 4k monitor just fine. 

 

Since I have this plus the intel gpu (Intel UHD 630) .I decided to try and pass the integrated GPU into the VM. (It is in its own IOMMU group)

 

So the VM keeps rebooting (When passing in the iGPU. Any idea where to start debugging? I was trying to follow this tutorial. Am I missing drivers? 

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/guide-intel-intergrated-graphic-passthrough.30451/

 

As for the kernel output when booting with -v, There are a bunch of plus plus signs and then it reboots. on a normal working boot it is the same as well.

Has anyone tried KVM with Optimus?

https://gist.github.com/Misairu-G/616f7b2756c488148b7309addc940b28

This would be a nice way to get around the lack of Optimus drivers in OS X. 

 

My 17" MacBook is dying on multiple fronts and I'm looking into purchasing a PC laptop to replace it (NONE of Apple's current offerings are the least bit interesting to me).

care to share the ovmf files ? :)

I can confirm the above qemu options works well with an unmodified clover and minimal config.plist

 

After some experimentation, I could switch to use IvyBridge as the guest cpu model by disabling the tsc-deadline feature.

 

 

The cpu option line becomes:

 

-cpu ivyBridge,vendor=GeniuneIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,-tsc-deadline

 

The host is a Haswell-E 5960X

 

Hi sll1001,

 

Did you try you VM with IviBridge? Do you have better performances than using Penrin?

 

If I use IviBridge with your params, I have a KP. Any idea?

 

Thanks.
