9 ACPI Sleep patch

9 ACPI patch for sleep config-OC.plist  All Intel Motherboard. I test X99,X299.

 

 

I have big sleep problems with my Aorus B450i Pro Wifi, Ryzen 3600 build. Testet this sleep patch and also combinations with HibernationFix kext. No progress at all. When I choose sleep the monitor goes black but nothing happens to the machine. Fans still blowing. Then I can not wake the monitor and I have to restart the machine. I am running OC 0.5.5, Catalina 10.15.3

These patches will do nothing For AMD hacks. Most the time to enable sleep/wake For AMD hacks, you just need to properly map your USB ports.

Ok. So I should just remove the patches from config.plist and also the Hibernatiionfixup.kext? I made the first patches with SSDTTime in Windows and moved the files to OC/ACPI . Then I made a SSDT-USB.aml with Hackintool and placed it in the same folder. Should I instead use the USBMap.command to create the file and replace the one from Hackintool?

Hibernatiionfixup.kext does nothing For AMD hacks, Hackintool doesn't work well with AMD hack to generate USB mapping. You need to do it the old fashion way of mapping. https://github.com/khronokernel/Opencore-Vanilla-Desktop-Guide/blob/master/AMD/AMD-USB-map.md

Thanks. I am trying to follow that guide. Like I wrote before I moved the aml files from SSDTTime into ACPI. Was that correct? .
├── ACPI
│   ├── DSDT.aml
│   ├── SSDT-EC.aml
│   └── SSDT-EC.dsl

Now when I open MaciASL like it says "Open MaciASL on the target machine and you'll be presented with your system DSDT, that simple!" I get an error, see attached screenshot. So where do I get this system DSDT from? I am stuck there since I have nothing to edit!

Anybody have any idea why I would lose my USBs after upgrading from 5.4 to 5.6 using the same USB SSDT

Any suggestions how to get them back.

Here I attached my EFI could anyone take a look at it and see where I went wrong please and thanks

I see ndk fork, аsk in ndk topic.

 

[telepati]

Guys, I tested all outside links in the Doc.pdf and just three of them giving 404 error, need to fix or remove.

 

See VerifyMsrE2 nots for more details. (Page 14) Also "nots" must to "notes"

Use GopUpdate (Page 14)

Known formats are described in macserial. (Page 43)

 

 

[galisrule]

@Andrey1970 thanks for replying I got both ndk and the original on 2 separate drives and its the same in both even with EnableForAll on or off 

The funniest thing is when I switch back to 5.4 EFI everything works perfect again hmmmmmm

Noticed with Opencore, GPU has to be UEFI, Legacy cards such as Nvidia GTX 650 Ti etc OC won't boot. Just Setup a MSI Gaming 5 Z97 with RX560, Booted and Fully Native also displaying Quad-Core Xeon as Processor, as before with clover it was Unknown. Tested with macOS 10.12. 

Hi,

 

I have been trying to install OC on Z97X gaming 5 (Catalina). 

 

Things is i used the sample.plist and then add all the stuff i think is required.

 

So OC runs. I don't get any error messages. and execution seem to have stopped.  See image below

 

Do you have any suggestions ?

NO 0.5.6 release . Bettas can come out 1-3 times a day with changes, if you do not understand what you are doing, then why update. And read the documentation, everything is there.

[doox00]

Hey all, just finished my hackintosh install (opencore / catalina).  All seems to be working really well except I ran geekbench 5 gpu test and its showing my 5700 XT hitting max of 875 mhz, is there anything I can look into to fix this?

 

thanks!

@Pavo I recently used your OCBuilder and selected WITHOUT DEBUG and WITH kexts.

 

1. But I am still getting debug output in the log file. According to @vit9696 it's because ApfsDriverLoader is built WITH debug

2. There's a new IntelMausiEthernet kext v2.5.0 generated that does not inject into the kernel

 

See log:

For 2., I replaced the IntelMausiEthernet kext with v 2.4.1d1 and that one works fine.

 

Does ApfsDriverLoader generate debug out even if not built with debug ?

Want does "Invalid Parameter" mean ?

1. As you can see from the below code snippet ApfsDriverLoader is not being built with DEBUG options. You can look at the code yourself at https://github.com/Pavo-IM/ocbuilder/blob/master/OCBuilder/release.command

2. All OCBuilder does is clone the repo of the kexts and builds the master branch of that repo. So if there is a kext issue its an issue that the owner of the repo needs to fix, not OCBuilder.

buildrelease() {
  xcodebuild -configuration Release  >/dev/null || exit 1

Guys,

 

This is beyond me. 

 

I trying to install Catalina from opencore installer on Z97X Gaming 5.

 

OpenCore boot and I can pick the installer to install Catalina. See log for full details.

 

After picking the installer, boot process continue to run and finally STOPS with the following line output:

OC: OcAppleGenericInputKeycodeExit status - Success

 

After that nothing happens, The log files DON'T even show panic or error.

Have tried with just essentials .efi files:

FwRuntimeServices.efi

ApfsDriverLoader.efi

HFSPlus.efi

 

Same effect.

 

Have even added more .efi files believing that OC is missing some of them:

 

These issue is not covered in the guide here: https://khronokernel.github.io/Opencore-Vanilla-Desktop-Guide/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#opencore-booting

 

Please can anyone who experience this before advise. I have tried many things but is running out of option.

 

Thank you !

Thx. I just rebuilt with your latest OCbuilder and made OC WITHOUT debug and now only one line in the log:

00:000 00:000 Starting ApfsDriverLoader ver. 2.1.5

Not an issue...just interesting.

 

Regarding IntelMausiEthernet kext not pre-linking, what does "invalid parameter" mean (in OC log) ?

The author of that text may need to know why it's not pre-linking with the kernel (via OC).

 

[juantrix]

Is posible to change (Fake PCI ID) a Radeon VII to a AMD Radeon Pro Vega II ?

I think all the power/optimizations is for this.

I find some interesting test...
a hack with Vega II???  https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/531005

Thanks releasing you're GUI. I just tried it on OC 0.5.6 built today.

Followed your instructions.

Misc->Boot->PickerMode=External

Misc->Boot->ShowPicker=true

Misc->Security->AllowSetDefault=false

 

System hangs at NdkBootPicker.efi being loaded.

Have to power off.

Guys which .plist editor are you recommended for OpenCore? Cause Xcode sometimes broke the .plist and starting to give a failed parse real error. That's why I am asking you what is the best option for editing plist.

I am releasing the external GUI boot picker for the standard OC https://github.com/n-d-k/NdkBootPicker, Binary release are available as well, auto built by Travis ci server.

Thanks for doing this. Makes the most sense now with OC bringing support for external boot loaders. One thing, when complied, Icons creates another duplicate parent folder of the same name. FYI.

I've never had problem with Xcode.  having said that I've always used PlistEdit Pro. cheap, small & lite and very easy to use. never failed me.

Xcode remains the best option to edit plist files because this is Apple's used files.

Anyone know why I cannot enable SIP?  I have 

<key>csr-active-config</key>
<data>AAAAAA==</data>

and I see

> nvram -p
csr-active-config	g%00%00%00

but when I check, I get

>csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled.

I don't know what else to check/try.

Remove the key entirely. Clear your NVRAM. It should not hold the variable: csr-active-config.
