Lord Kamina Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Has anyone been succesful doing this? My board is MSR locked consistently along all cores according to VerifyMSRE2.efi; I can follow the instructions in AptioKit's readme for unlocking it via finding the settings offset and using setup_var (although I get some GUID and offset errors but seemingly it works fine) but I haven't been able to patch the BIOS. Using the patches.txt from the repo, the Kaby Lake patch sInit patch is applied but it appears to not be enough, since the register won't change if I flash this patched bios. Has anybody figured out whether there might be something else needed here to patch this properly? I also tried to patch the "default" option from Enabled to Disabled by using an hex editor and rebuilding the BIOS file; figured out in [icode] 0x3733B One Of Option: Disabled, Value (8 bit): 0x0 {09 07 04 00 00 00 00} 0x37342 One Of Option: Enabled, Value (8 bit): 0x1 (default) {09 07 03 00 30 00 01} [/icode] the 30 corresponds to "default" but again, this didn't change anything (although it is possible that "Default" is just cosmetic and I didn't actually change the setting I guess) Edited February 27, 2019 by Lord Kamina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winlog Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 KernelPM=true and no issues. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck No, this is a very bad choice, this patchers the kernel and makes the system unstable. @Lord Kamina check the guide here https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/extras/msr-lock.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover it is more stable than without the patch even if E2 is not locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slice Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Proof of stability? How? Let's say that it's just an observation on the forum. I have a BIOS that permits me to LOCK or UNLOCK CFG, i.e. msr 0xE2 and I am able to test on this computer how it will work if E2 locked but KernelPM patch applied. And I compare with unlocked BIOS. And my computer #2 which is Dell Latitude has locked E2. Anyway I live with it 3 years without any unstability and bad behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
