AMD Mojave Kernel Development and Testing

I got through the installer (now I'm in the "boot installer"). To get here I had to update some kexts, modify Clover settings to make them look more like those that already work with H.Sierra  and removed AppleATIATA. However, I have this new problem "com.apple.osinstall error -29".

BTW I'm using the latest version of Clover.

 

 

What we've seen before is this image is the result of not modifying the install plist. Either run this in Terminal from the installer replacing VOLUME NAME with the disk Mojave is installed to,

 

sed -i '' 's/auth-//g' /Volumes/"VOLUME NAME"/macOS\ Install\ Data/Locked\ Files/Boot\ Files/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

Or modifying the plist file manually and just remove the auth- part your self.

hmmm, I did it but in my H.Sierra installation... I'll try this right away

 

UPDATE: No luck

I'm getting the panic message on the very initial installation step. This is happening on the USB drive. I wonder what am I doing wrong since there is no 'macOS Install Data' folder in there... Can't even get to the installer. Any ideas?

 

I'm using FX-4300 with GTX 760

Success! My problem now is the Nvidia Web Driver.

 

I think my problem was the file system. I was installing Mojave on an SSD with APFS. I formatted the entire disk to standard HFS disk utility.

With the SSD completely clean, I started the installation from scratch. It was in just a shot. Very fast.

And last I was having problems with "The installer resources were not found" - This was solved by switching from APFS to HFS.

PS. The installer will convert back to APFS in the right way.

 

My next step now is to solve the video driver and better analyze other Kernels. The boot log had many errors.

 

UPDATE: "About this Mac" don't wanna work

 

Cheers!

on 10.14.2 the AppleSSE.kext checks for coprocessor on the efi string and hangs with assertion at boot.

i've made 2 patches ( A & B ) due to dual checks in code

check both - i got better performance using B patch.

no ! check on 10.14.1 ?

[carlo_67]

 

testing both kernels, all good so far.

Is there a way to ignore kext errors and generate a valid prelinkedkernel ?

 

got missing symbols in AppleMobileFileIntegrity.kext

so i hacked 10.14.1 shanee source and rebuild for 10.14.2

this version rebuilds the prelinked kernel without errors

 

i've made a prelinkedkernel using the basesystem kexts (from the installer media)

might help if u cant use the os x installer (just replace the prelinkedkernel in your usb install media)

@jalavoui

good for fx 8350, arrival at the customization, but I always have this error and then restart, same thing by applying the ssepatch patch

[carlo_67]

@Shaneee

 

with your Test always this error

both creating Usb and cloned installation on intel

[newsguytor]

 

No way, I've tested several combinations. And All get stuck in the same error.

PS. I'm using the latest version of Clover.

 

my kexts

 

Your Kext folder is a total mess.

 

1. NvidiaGraphicsFixup is an ancient version of Whatevergreen

2. Why do you have so many network drivers (Athereos*, Realtek*, SmallTreeIntel*, nForceLAN)?!? Delete them and only install the one you need

3. You need to chose between Voodoo and AppleALC. AppleALC is much better, but won't work with AppleHDADisabler

4. Why do you have all the ATA kexts??

 

Probably more things are totally wrong. Less is more when it comes to kexts, more kexts just create problems.

i've added this code to shanee kernel for testing on 10.14.2 (ipc_mig.c - missing symbols in AppleMobileFileIntegrity prevent prelinkedkernel build)

to test move it to S/L/Kernels and do in terminal kextcache -invalidate / to rebuild the prelinkedkernel

only do it if u have a stable system.

 

also sharing my clover files for those who still get installer/boot issues (be sure to use latest clover)

 

i'm forced to boot in legacy mode (non uefi) due to appleacpi timeouts

need to figure out why this is happening. Anyway u guys can try a non uefi boot to check if those boot errors go away (enter bios menu and check uefi/legacy mode).

atm i only use 1 kext to boot (AppleSMC)

 

xlnc - the patch is a simple jump on AppleSSE::start() 

u'll need to check the code for 10.14.1

check this in code and play with it

Also the mojave always reboots after data and privacy setup screen for some reason.

 

It shows this message while reboot 

my guess is its due to gpu coz i dont have amd gpu .

Thanks for these files which worked at 10.14.2 in Ryzen 1700X hackintosh.

It can login desktop without kcsuffix=xxxxx for the first time.

Video play in Safari is very fine and App Store works too.

HDMI audio from 7950 GPU and Power management such as shutdown or reboot working faster than other kernels/prelinkedkernels, but wake up / sleep issues occured .

Only cpu-x, EFI Mount V3, and some other apps crashed.

Your Kext folder is a total mess.

 

1. NvidiaGraphicsFixup is an ancient version of Whatevergreen

2. Why do you have so many network drivers (Athereos*, Realtek*, SmallTreeIntel*, nForceLAN)?!? Delete them and only install the one you need

3. You need to chose between Voodoo and AppleALC. AppleALC is much better, but won't work with AppleHDADisabler

4. Why do you have all the ATA kexts??

 

Probably more things are totally wrong. Less is more when it comes to kexts, more kexts just create problems.

 

Duuude, all is working. Besides this I have this mess cuz I was testing and testing and testing. And had some "diff combinations" cuz I have more than one m.board to test.
So just let it over there cuz in a Team that is winning you don't touch!  

I'll clean up soon, but for now. Whatever. But thanks for point out.

Success! My problem now is the Nvidia Web Driver.

 

I think my problem was the file system. I was installing Mojave on an SSD with APFS. I formatted the entire disk to standard HFS disk utility.

With the SSD completely clean, I started the installation from scratch. It was in just a shot. Very fast.

And last I was having problems with "The installer resources were not found" - This was solved by switching from APFS to HFS.

PS. The installer will convert back to APFS in the right way.

 

My next step now is to solve the video driver and better analyze other Kernels. The boot log had many errors.

Well I do not know exactly what point you're talking about.

But overall it was very simple. I followed what Shanee recommends in his Gist. I tested different PKs.

In Clover I used -v npci=0x3000 debug=0x100 nvda_drv=1 keepsyms=1 slide=176

I unchecked all "fixes" from ACPI - and re-marked only "Fix Shutdown". Plist is attached

I did nothing special.
