KGP-iMacPro Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 The Apple Logo and progress bar that you see just before you get to the desktop. I also removed NvidiaGraphicsFixup, but I still see the Apple Logo and progress bar before entering the login screen, although I have to add that else I always boot in verbose mode. Thus, I am talking about the Apple Logo and progress bar just 1-2 seconds before the login screen.. The Apple Logo and progress bar that you see just before you get to the desktop. Also checked non-verbose mode, thus entire boot with Apple Logo and progress bar! Everything works as expected! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinchina Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just couple things I ran into on my system, if I don't use the NvidiaFixup I do not get the Animated Apple Logo prior to Login to desktop and I have issues with latest LPCSensors if I run any liquid cooler using the headers for CPU pump, the pump does not work, I have to disable LPC sensors including Rehabman's fork. The bug has been posted on github. So far as I know its the HWMon that does that. I run istat menus with the LPCSensors and it's fine. HWMon turned my fans on full speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From many years Asrock unlock it If I remember well from X79 chipset I attached your "patched" bios.

maleorderbride Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'll give that a try, but I don't see the patched BIOS? I had assumed it is locked because I need a Kernel patch in order to boot, which the ASUS X299s can drop after patching their BIOS. Perhaps E2 is not locked though, as I see this in bdmesg from clover boot log: (it should say locked, right?) 0:104 0:000 MSR 0xE2 before patch 00000400 0:104 0:000 MSR 0xCE 00070C2C_F3012300 0:104 0:000 MSR 0x1B0 00000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For further details, see Error Prevention C.7)! Revision of Section E.1) - CPU Power Management. Implementation of a CPU "plugin-type" injector SSDT, namely ssdt.aml provided by @interferenc. Honestly, I still believe that HWP can pretty will live without the ssdt.aml plugin-type injector and does not require a fully implemented XCPM configuration. However, just in case, Section E.1) now also provides the possibility for fully implementing again a parallel XCPM configuration. Major Revision of Section E.9.1) - ACPI Replacements: Implementing a description for the new ACPI replacement SMBS._ADR -> XSBU.XADR Major Revision of Section E.9.2) and SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml: Elimination of the SBUS and LPCB PCI Device Implementation; Adding an USBX PCI Device implementation for USB Power allocation errors during system boot; Revision of the IMEI and PMCR PCI Device Implementation. A new SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml distribution has been implemented in the originating post of this thread (guide) Revision of Abstract and Introduction, emphasizing the achievement of fully native forced and automated Sleep/Wake implementation Revision of Table of Contents Enjoy and have fun, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take note, that you might just inadequately apply UEFIPatch... You exactly have to follow the approach as described in my guide. Everything, i.e. UEFIPatch, X29KSA1.40 and patches.txt have to be in the UEFIpatch directory on your Desktop! Then you just execute the BIOS patch procedure with the following terminal commands: cd ~/Desktop/UEFIPatch/ ./UEFIPatch X29KSA1.40 This should definitely unlock your BIOS. BTW, your BIOS Firmware does not have the the file name extension .CAP? With the filename extension .40, would it be compatible with UEFiPatch at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGP-iMacPro Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Another Guide update completed - 04.02.2018 New ASUS BIOS firmware patches (Patches.txt) of @interferenc implemented New patched ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe 1102 BIOS Firmware X299D.CAP with iMacPro Splash Screen mod implemented Error Prevention C.7) obsolete for ASUS motherboard users with patched BIOS Firmware and open MSR 0xE2 BIOS register. Note that the new firmware patches provided by @interferenc also resolve the Skylake-X TSC problem at Boot and Wake from Sleep. To avoid Boot problems and problems during Wake from Sleep, we formerly used VoodooTSCSync.kext or TSCAdjustReset.kext in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of both USB Flash Drive and System Disk. Both files can now be removed from all /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directories. All users of ASUS motherboards with locked MSR 0XE2 BIOS register and very likely also all users of motherboards from different brands where ASUS BIOS Firmware patches provided by @interference cannot be directly applied are forced to further use TSCAdjustReset.kext in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of both USB Flash Drive and System Disk. Patches.txt and patched ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe 1102 BIOS Firmware X299D.CAP with iMacPro Splash Screen mod once more attach below!
