Switched from Clover to OC, things work smooth for normal boot.

The one thing that does not work at all is booting into recovery. The image refuses to load and I get an memory allocation error.

I never ran into this with Clover, Clover always booting fine into recovery, using the AptioMem efi.

Tried all different variations with the quirks and followed this guide as well:

https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/extras/kalsr-fix

With that I came up with a slide value of Slide=128 in the boot menu. While that helps, it still does not create enough memory for the recovery image to boot.

It seems there are no more options I can try. I would be happy about any further feedback where to look for a solution.

 

One note: to even to attempt loading the image, i have to enable 

 

AvoidHighAlloc = true (seems needed to even to attempt the load the recovery image, if false i get an error that not supported, and loading the image is not even started.

 

The other quirks if have set

  • AvoidRuntimeDefrag = true

  • DevirtualiseMmio = false (early boot failure if true)

  • DisableVariableWrite = false

  • EnableSafeModeSlide = true

  • EnableWriteUnprotector = true

  • ProvideCustomSlide = true

  • SetupVirtualMap = true

  • ShrinkMemoryMap = false (early boot failure if true)

Hi, I wrote earlier this year to have some support for moving to OpenCore but I managed to make it work by myself. Now I'm having a strange problem.

 

When I SHUTDOWN my pc(Lifebook e744 i5-4300m) and turn on again my trackpad needs 1 more finger to work (2 fingers for moving cursor,3 for scrolling, 4 for the swipe pages on macOS). 

The only way to fix this is to RESTART my pc and then the trackpad works perfectly.

I'm currently using VoodooPS2Controller + VoodooInput from acidanthera. Did someone else get any problem like this?

 

I've attached my OC folder.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

OC.zip

 

Hi, no one seems to have answered my problem, and I wanted to add some information:

- I still got problems with the trackpad recognizing one finger more in a fresh boot
- When my pc returns from sleep sometimes the trackpad would not work.

- Without complete DSDT patching, my pc won't boot.

 

I don't know what to do, probably it's smth related to DSDT patching, but I don't know what to look after.

 

I've attached the OC folder I'm using right now.

 

UPDATE:

When cold booted the verbose output spams: "AppleMultitouchHIDEventDriverV2: checkNTDeviceAvailable() Building NT without Z2init", and the trackpad doesn't work. When rebooted it no longer spits out the error like hell and the trackpad works perfectly

 

 

Hope to get some help :)

I can't make the audio work. I think i have to find the appropriate layout from here https://github.com/acidanthera/applealc/wiki/supported-codecs

Is there a way to try different layouts without reinstalling the os from scratch with opencore?

 

This is the only thing i have to edit right?

Post image

 

That SHOULD be it. For layout-id say...7...put <07> and hit enter.

No.

I will post on this thread because you all seem much informed than the average .. What does it take to implement power management for non native NVME disks ? Do you think is "just" a patch to some kexts or something more complex ?

I'm asking around for this feature since when i noticed NVME disk is really more "expensive" for my battery than a normal sata ssd in MacOS but not on Linux or Windows ..

 

Thanks

Mattia

It seems that these Memory Allocation problems are quite tricky.

What really surprises me here is the fact that DevirtualiseMmio = true causes early reboot.

What information would help the experts here to give some further advise?

It seems related to OpenCore, since I never ran into similar obstacles in Clover.

Thanks, Mike

Hello, I have a z87 board with and have add NVMe with pci-e adapter. 
The nvme-drive did show up initially, but later I added NvmExpressDxe.efi and it showed up. Is NvmExpressDxe.efi the preferred way to enable NVMe in oc? (For unsupported boards..)

It is the only way, there's no prefer/not prefer.

Thanks! Do you know where I can find the source of the driver? So I don't need to get it from clover.

I did know about this, but I'm avoding it since this board will be swapped out sooner or later and will be reused as PLEX-server. Don't want to brick my BIOS otherwise I need a board for the PLEX-server too :)

Care to share what AHCIPortInjector kext you used (I have the same motherboard)?  Was it the one you posted earlier?

 

Sure!

 

For starters here's what I looked for. In IOReg under SATA (or SAT0 if no name change) you see "name" and mine was "pci8086,a282" so I dug through whatever SATA Unsupported I could find until I found one with IOname matches.

Hi - I've been trying to boot macOS Catalina on a new Lenovo X1 Carbon 7 which has a new Comet Lake i7-10710u. I see in ProcessorInfo.h that we don't have this processor defined yet. I wonder if this could contribute to the boot issue. Hoping this can help the devs add Comet Lake support.

 

After I select to boot the macOS installer, it performs kext injection but hangs here and does not proceed: 

78:816 00:112 Prelinked status - Success

 

Attached is my debug log file (with full verbose logging) and here is the CPU info: 

Signature A0660 Stepping 0 Model A6 Family 6 Type 0 ExtModel A ExtFamily 0

So i7-10710u Comet Lake is model 0xA6.

Hi

So i also can now boot into recovery, after a lot of trial and error.

The following problem I have still with booting into recovery.

When I remove the -v boot flag, I get a black screen once boot is completed.

When I boot with -v into recovery, display is fine once boot is completed.

 

The only thing that seems to help is adding "agpmod=pikera"

But then booting into to OSX produces a funny login-screen resolution.

What could be the reason for black screen in recovery?

It happens as soon as a remove verbose mode flag from boot arguments.

 

Edit:

I am not sure if this is OC related or Whatevergreen related, or a combination of the settings I use in OC and using WG.

 

Thanks, Mike

Thank you, it worked!

 

It seems like opencore team deliberately put wrong defaults so that users will read the configuration?

If you would *actually* read the PDF instead of just talking about being made, you would know why this is the default.
