Can you just add the a Method for _Q13 instead of renaming XQ13?

Not sure what you suggest. The purpose of this is to use ACPI hotpatch.

You can add custom method _Q13 in DSDT with IF Darwin condition. And an original method _Q13 to leave with Else condition.

And to remove a renaming patch.

You can have multi method like this:

Method (_Q13, 0, Serialized){

}

Method (XQ13, 0, Serialized){

}

and Osx will call _Q13

Others will call XQ13...

And other method will call what?

Im curious here. I use the generic section under Platform Info and everything is fine. Is there an advantage to using the full SMBIOS section instead?

OpenCore DataBase is periodically updated, and it relieves you of routine and mistakes.

 

But on models year of the end of production 2011 and older, PlatformInfo necessary to fill manually. It is made not to litter OpenCore library.

Hi guys,

i'm trying to migrate from clover to opencore but it always hangs during boot (a second or so after selecting the operating system to boot) and i can't understand why.

 

could somebody point me in the right direction ?

I'm attaching my OC folder without the kext folder (all the kext are the same i use in clover and anyway they are up to date to the latest version)

 

 

Thanks

Mattia

Big thanks for the info. It inspired me to go back through Platform and fix my ROM string which got rid of my Parse Field 2 error that flashed before Picker showed up. Leaving that bit of obvious info for anyone searching.

Thats what Im on, it looks like I made a bad copy and paste when moving from Clover to OC, again.

 

Edit: I owe you an apology, I'm on 0.5.2.

When I've installed OpenCore for the first time, I don't disable these two things and was getting the same error that you have, so I disable these but it don't work. I think if you don't disable this on in the first time you configure OpenCore, you need to do all configuration again, from zero point, disabling vault.

Yes I did it but it doesn't worked.

@ellybz, and anyone else who is trying to build a custom menu on OpenCore:

 

i have two problems.  The first is I can't boot Linux.

 

This is my path, and its identical to the path in Clover (except for the slashes reversed) and in Clover it works, but in OC, it goes off into space and does not load.  You can see my attached jpg from the Clover boot screen below.  Is it possible this is a video display issue?

 

PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x17,0x0)/Sata(0x3,0xFFFF,0x0)/HD(1,GPT,F23633BD-5766-4C50-9EC6-5D24425B8542,0x800,0x100000)/\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

 

The second problem is more basic.  I am loading a scan policy identical to yours, @Ellybz:  2689795.  But below you can see what I get after adding my Entries, 4-7 work just fine, btw.

 

I tried it with Hide Self on and Hide Self off.  Any thoughts?  Would use picker make a difference?

 

 

Curious, what does "Mojave Menu" lead you to?

[Ellybz]

HideSelf =YES
Recovery partitions were deleted thru Terminal:  "Diskutil List" , look for recovery partition then:
Terminal command:  diskutil eraseVolume apfs Blank diskXsY    ( REPLACE X/Y Accordingly )

Step 2:  Delete "Blank" APFS Volume in your Disk utility app.
( There's a faster way to do this, but I like the two step process for my own verification )

Also, for Linux, I have a NTFS Driver in my EFI folder. ( attached below ).

PS: In  Entries Only Windows & Linux path are reported .

NTFS.efi

I'm a little confused here. After moving the Windows Entry I used in my initial build on clover to my EFI I was able to add a custom entry in OC to point to it's EFI which caused it to show up in Picker. Yay! However when I select it doesn't boot. I've also tried adding the NTFS.efi driver because that makes sense but no dice.

 

So i've removed the windows folder from the EFI and thought maybe I should hop in shell to get device path but selecting shell does the same thing: resets Picker.

 

I've been over the docs but can't quite figure this one out. Has anybody here worked this out and care to share their experience?

Config.plist

Finding the correct path in Custom Entries have been already explained several times within the last few pages of this thread. It should start with " PciRoot".

For sure it has and thanks for the link. I think i've the gotten right path. Im confused however on why when I select Shell in Picker it doesn't load. I'll keep digging.

EDIT: Ignore this. I should probably umm place Shell in the tools folder.

@Ellybz I'm sure that was annoying but thanks for that.

 

I've been able to get into Windows now once or twice but mostly it locks up at the welcome screen.

Could you please provide an example for CPU emulation (fake CPUID) for pentium CPUs. We normally use 0x0306A0 (Ivy Bridge i5) as a fake ID. This would be really helpful in the description below. Also, NullCPUPowerManagementkext is often needed do you know if it's compatible?

Guys, how can i hide the recovery partition in OC boot menu?

[startergo]

I am testing OC on cMP5.1 so I don't need full blown SMBIOS, NVRAM and HUB values. I only updated the board ID to iMacPro and updated only SMBIOS.

In Mojave that worked fine, but when I changed the startup disk to Catalina the boot process stalled with:

waiting for an external debugger...

All debug options have 0 values, so I had to remove the USB with OC and boot without it and remove the board ID injection. 

What instigates the wait for an external debugger?

[steve3d]

well, I have some problem here, 

I'm using z390 aorus master with i9-9900k, and installed with a titan-ridge thunderbolt card, and oc runs perfectly, and yesterday, I found giga-byte released a F10 bios for this board, then I decided to upgrade, and after upgrade, I can no longer use oc, 

 

It always tells me that error allocating pages, so I followed a guide here, and go to discord, the bot help me calculated the slide should be 196, then I set the slide=196 in boot-args, but I still can not boot.

 

After slide=196, I can see the apple logo, then few seconds, oc told me there is a fatal error, system hang for 10 seconds. (tried with or without any ssdt patch, result are same)

 

so what should I do to use oc with new version of bios? 

 

I've attached these files hoping someone can help me.

 

Thanks.

Try:

Cpuid1Data: <A9 06 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00>
Cpuid1Mask: <FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00>

There is any possibility to use hotkeys (boot into recovery from OC boot menu) in a laptop with PS2 keyboard?

Thanks for Team.
