OpenCore General Discussion

I'm a bit confused, I've been reading the OpenCore Vanilla guide, I believe I have to follow the legacy options considering I have a Bloomfield. The problem is the setup requires a working macOS system while the rest of the guide is ok with using Windows/Linux to get everything working.

 

Is it even possible to set everything up using Windows for a legacy system? Or should I just be using Clover instead?

 

Up to a few days ago I had High Sierra running on dual monitors, I don't know what went through my mind and I decided to see if I could install Catalina, I got decently far but once it was installed it wouldn't boot. I'm going to assume it was wishful thinking that a Bloomfield could be compatible? Overall I'd like to get High Sierra up and running again, let me know your thoughts.

 

follow this tutorial (u will make a new installer)

then message on the forum that u are done and I will help you from there

 

check your mobo internet chip

and use the appropriate kext (replacing intel mausi Ethernet) for you ethernet chip

ALX ethernet. ALXEthernet.kext.zip

intel 211at ethernet. SmallTreeIntel82576.kext.zip

you will need nullcpupowermanagement.kext if you are running on and and based platform

Yep, done. I did that a few days ago, but this is what confused me. The instructions don't have a 'Do in Windows' options (does it matter if I skip this?)

 

I do not have Ethernet within reach, nor a WiFi card. What I was using before I accidentally ruined my Hackintosh build was a TP-LINK USB WiFi dongle, which worked perfectly as long as the system could run the TP-LINK app.

I followed the video, and the OC vanilla guide. I think I have everything I've gone over it a few times. I still have two questions:

 

* Since OpenCore uses DuetPkg to emulate UEFI on legacy systems does this mean I can install 10.14+ on my hardware?

* Since I won't have internet access, can I build a full installer USB later after I use the USB I built following the video?

      * If not: Is there a way to do it now so the installer doesn't need to download anything?

 

Attached is my USB directory.

Thanks for the help

With BIOS and DUET/EDK2 2.70 I get

 

Can not initalize conlose

Boot failed: will sleep for 10 seconds before exiting

OC: Boot failed - aborted

OCB: Startimage failed - Aborted

Halting on critical error

 

How to fix? thanks

maybe my problem related to OpenCore, so I'll post here.

 

I'm having KP while trying to boot Recovery partition.

macOS 10.14.6 works just fine without issues.

Some update: If I disable _xcpm_bootstrap Pike R. Alpha kernel patch, then I'm getting different error - hanging on PCI configuration begin (IMG attached)

I check your EFI.

I thing you have wrong ACPI folder.

please remove All SSDT.

You won't boot from EFI. You will boot from USB itself. 

[Bluesnowball3]

I am still unable to boot from the USB installer-Catalina-Z170 P-Skylake. After the Apple symbol it shuts down.

One of the error messages is:AppleUSBHostPort Disconnect: numerous enumeration failures. For some reason this message appears on the screen but I cannot see it in the boot log. I have now tried disconnecting the mouse and keyboard and the message disappears. Obiously I need to map the USB ports but I do not see how I can do this until I can boot in to Catalina. I cannot access disk utulity. If I press command plus R after the Apple symbole nothing happens, the same if I do it earlier. it still shuts down after the Apple symbol.

 

I have extracted DSDT using SSDTime and put it in my ACPI folder. I read somewhere that Opencore does this and so it is not needed, is this correct? I have set Platform info for MacPro 1,1.

I have compiled SSDT-PLUG and  SSDT-EC-USBX using iasl-win and SSDTime as per the Skylake vanilla desktop guide and Opencore Base Set Up guide.

I do not know how to set Plug In type, however I now have access to a Mac and will try to figure this out.

     

One of the error messages when I boot with the Windows disc attached is:
 OCB: Matching <> args on type 3 0
31:337 00:229 OCFS: Filename \ has trailing slash

Should I change the slash to the other way? When I boot with the Window disc disconnected I do not get this message. My target disc is formatted as HFS+ and GPT using Paragon.

Thanks in advance for any help. I attach the boot file with the windows disc connected, the second one is with it disconneted and my config.plist.

No you don't. Either use the DummyPowerManagement quirk or use an appropriate SSDT_PLUG file.

Your config.plist is just a mess. Are you really need all those patches? Skylake-X just needs 3 SSDT's your config has full off SSDT's. You are not using Audio but you activate Audio driver. WHY?  Also, the sound! You are almost using every sound option in your system. alcid=, Device Properties and SSDT's. Choose one and delete others. If you are using the easiest method (alcid=) why you also activate the sound in your Device Properties? USB port limit patches WHY? You are already created USBport.kext with Hackintool why you need port limit patches? Read Vanilla Desktop Guide and configure your plist from the start.

 

Man, you don't even delete the warning messages are you really need those?

I agree my config its mess.

My System  have 34 USB pors.

I Disable AudioDxe.efi

I don't Active sound in Device Properties.Its was Disable.

Check My config.plist

Thank you

 

 

 

 

[telepati]

@nmano are using all ports. Probably No! if the port is empty just disable it you don't need that.

The picture you show for the sound it is clearly saying audio is active.

These are all rubbish.

If I want to Disable 

HS07/SS07

HS08/SS08

How to do that?

Thanks.

[telepati]

@nmano Write down the ports you use, then create a new USBport.kext with the help of Hackintool. There is a guide on how to do it in Hackintool.

This is with AppleALC, the crash in particular should be resolved in master. But the rest is up to you.

I enabled AudioPicker it works well.

I don't really need it as my eye sight is fine (at the moment).

 

I turned it off, then enabled PlayChime and rebooted.

 

Hi,  @vit9696, @Download-Fritz, @Pavo @MacNB and everyone.

I am very happy with the graphic and sound mode.
Thanks to everyone who worked on it.

It gets really interesting;)

This is my problem:
PickerAudioAssist works for me. During start the sound "OCEFIAudio_en_Welcome.wav" starts.
PlayChime was also working, "AXEFIAudio_VoiceOver_Boot.wav" could be heard when starting OS X.
After NVRAM restart, "AXEFIAudio_VoiceOver_Boot.wav" cannot be heard.

One more question, does the mouse work in graphic mode?

Can anyone know what needs to be repaired?

Thank you for your help.

@topolino1 Do you use AudioDxe by Goldfish? If you use AudioDxe from AppleSupportPkg and configure it via config.plist, NVRAM resets should not break VoiceOver

Hi,

 

Thanks to Hector van der Aa, I followed the YouTube tutorial that he attached. I found out that my ACPI folder was incorrect and the DSDT.aml file was missing.

Now I successfully installed Catalina, but I had no keyboard during install. (When it asked username I pasted letters one by one from the previous user agreement textbox). The OS was booted correctly, everything was fine except for I had no keyboard, while mouse worked flawelessly.

When I rebooted I cannot type in my password, so can't enter to macOS.

 

At startup keyboard leds are on for my keyboard and mouse. I can go to UEFI. I have keyboard until I choose my macOS drive from OC command window.

Then suddenly keyboard and mouse leds shuts off, after 10-20 secs mouse comes back, but the keyboard doesn't.

 

I tried all USB ports on my MoBo (USB2, USB3) and a PS2 keyboard, but my problem is not solved. Everything is set to enabled under USB option in UEFI. (EHCI, XHCI) While mouse works on all usb ports, so they are enabled, I think...

 

Do you have any further ideas what can be the solution? (My MoBo: Asrock Z77 Extreme4)

 

Update: Added GenericUSBXHCI.kext, but nothing has changed.

 

My EC folder looks like this now:

ACPI
 -DSDT.aml
 -SSDT-EC.aml
 -SSDT-EC.dsl
Drivers
 -ApfsDriverLoader.efi
 -AudioDxe.efi
 -FwRuntimeServices.efi
 -HfsPlus.efi
