GUI is okay for users that want that clover look, but unless you are going to sit and stare at your menu for an hour, I'm happy that Open core does what it's supposed to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky12 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This is fantastic what you guys did or doing but what about a complete package like clover which make the things much easier for legacy booting on Bios based machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsian Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Hello n.d.k, i think your fork is life saver for those who needs boot Windows via OpenCore. Great job. I have one question. Is it possible for your fork to boot from a system disk which is set via the bless command? https://ss64.com/osx/bless.html It is used by macOS updater after successful install of update and if you have hidden Boot Picker it will try boot form entry which is set via bless, but your fork can't use it and show error "OCB: LoadImage failed - Not Found. Halting on critical error.". I look to NVRAM for boot entry which bless write to it and it is setup correctly. But your fork can't use it. Thanks.

Thanks. macOS updater will work just fine, the reason you get that error is because when you use the startup disk preference to manual set the startup disk, it conflicts with the auto default last booted entry that this fork is using. If for any reason you see that error, just reboot, bring the boot menu and pick an entry from there it will repair the boot device path that the startup disk preference messed up. More discussion why the startup disk preference should never be used in a hacktintosh here https://github.com/n-d-k/OpenCorePkg/issues/7.

I dont use startup disk preferences to manually set startup disk, macOS updaters use "bless" command to set startup disk after successfull install. So, if you dont use Boot Picker it ends in boot error. I know that i can reboot and select entry in Boot Picker to "repair" boot device path. But that's just wrong behavior. I think that if you use "AllowSetDefault" and dont use the auto default last booted entry, then "bless" should work. But it's your fork, so this is just my humble suggestion.

I'll fix this issue in next commit by not using that variable name. Thanks for pointing out the problem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n.d.k Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Boot Entry Index key 1- 9 can be used as a Hotkey by holding during boot in additional to previous hotkeys implementation to boot directly to that entry and skip the picker menu showing process even ShowPicker set to TRUE. These number hotkeys do work on tools, hidden entries, recovery entries and nvram reset, so be careful of not holding down the right number . Fixed the issue above as well on this commit. make sure to do a git pull then ./ndk-macbuild.tool to compile new update.

The color was dark gray/nearly black to make it blended in with the black background, adjusting the monitor contrast setting to see if my assumption is right.

This new file OpenCorePkg/edk2/EfiPkg/Include/Protocol/FrameworkMpService.h was added and had CRLF line endings. You can just create the new file with same name in xcode and copy its content over, it would fix the problem. It's already fixed by now!
