miliuco Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) There is a new version of RestrictEvents.kext 1.0.1 that removes warnings related to memory slots and avoids the need to configure Memory section in config.plist. Now you can use SMBIOS from MacPro7,1 without tweaking config.plist and with the Memory tab of About this Mac with the same appearance as in the rest of the Macs, without showing phantom slots that we saw previously with this SMBIOS. The use of RestrictEvents + custom memory is NOT recommended, one or the other, not both at the same time. OpenCore devs recommend RestrictEvents.kext. This is the most detailed info about custom memory with OpenCore on MacPro7,1, even better than what is available in Dortania's guide: Fixing MacPro7,1 Memory Errors Edited September 4 by miliuco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrey1970 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Or the correct custom memory for MacPro7,1 , or RestrictEvents, not both. MacPro7,1 doesn't support installation two DIMM, use RestrictEvents. Read https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/blob/master/Docs/Configuration.pdf In a sample an example for MacPro7,1 installation four DIMM https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/blob/master/Docs/SampleCustom.plist Edited May 4, 2021 by Andrey1970 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrey1970 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) RestrictEvents is easier to use and you will have no phantom memory-slots. Edited May 4, 2021 by Andrey1970 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. Then the question is solved: "Or the correct custom memory for MacPro7,1 or RestrictEvents, not both". In my case, as you say, RestrictEvents would be more useful because I have only 2 DIMM modules and MacPro7,1 expects there to be at least 4.
