noisegate Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hi everyone, I'm struggling to boot into a Monterey USB installer from @MaLd0n (my setup is currently working fine with Mojave). No luck so far, either from your Clover or OpenCore EFI folder. I'm trying to do a clean install on a new drive but I still end up with a kernel panic. Here's what I tried: CLOVER: Adding/removing a few of my Mojave kexts to the ones from the X79 EFI folder: AMDRadeonPro.kext AppleIntelE1000e.kext EFICheckDisabler.kext FakeSMC.kext NoVPAJpeg.kext Adding/removing some of the Mojave boot args that are not in the Monterey config.plist dart=0 keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 shikigva=32 shiki-id=Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 alcid=1 -- OPENCORE: Initially going with your Desktop IvyBridge EFI -> failure Removed agdpmod=pikera in boot-args as I don't have a NAVI card Going with the setup from this thread: https://www.olarila.com/topic/21661-mac-os-montereybig-sur-on-huananzhi-and-other-x79-motherboard-and-powermanagement/ I attached a SS of what I'm getting when I try to boot with OpenCore Thanks in advance!

MaLd0n Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Seems old kexts and bootloader version try update all and remove all unnecessary things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisegate Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Hey there @MaLd0n, I tried as much as I could, I don't know what else to look for. I'm at a point where I'm thinking about buying a real Mac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisdak4920 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 For Ivy Bridge you need to have CryptexFixup.Kext. Update all your kext to latest and you can remove all boot args. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFI folder comes from you, with all updated kexts. OC is v0.9.3, so I'm not sure where the old files come from. As to what to add/remove, all I've tried got me the same panic... I'll try npci=0x3000 when I get back from holiday Thanks Edited July 21, 2023 by noisegate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisegate Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Hi @MaLd0n, @Slice. No luck so far. npci=0x3000 still gives a kernel panic. I don't get what's wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noisegate Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 Hi @MaLd0n, @Slice. I finally got a new CPU cooler and some time to send the kernel panic I apologize for the blurry image, the light was poor, but it's readable Thanks!

noisegate Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Hi @MaLd0n, @Slice, Booting directly into the Monterey USB drive from F8 with VoodooTSCSync.kext instead of CpuTscSync.kext automatically switches to another boot option, I don't even enter setup. Booting into my Mojave EFI partition and then selecting the Monterey USB drive from the Clover menu gets me to the Apple logo but I get stuck there. It's weird because I have the -v bootarg but I can't see verbose. My setup doesn't agree with Clover_r5155, I had to roll back Any ideas?

noisegate Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 (edited) Hi @MaLd0n, @Slice, I'm giving Monterey v12.7.6 another try. The latest Olarilla OC / Clover EFIs both give me panics and I still can't boot into the installer. I also tried the OC Mod version. I added VoodooTSCSync from https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/VoodooTSCSync and set IOCPUNumber to 11. I tried a few values above 0 for TscSyncTimeout, but it doesn't change anything. No luck with npci=0x3000. Changing the SMBIOS to MacPro 6,1 doesn't work either. It's what I'm using on Mojave. I suspect a graphics issue but I don't know where else to look. The config checker in OC Configurator doesn't seem to work with my setup: Here's where I'm at, thanks for your help: Edited August 3 by noisegate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisegate Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 (edited) So here's what I'm getting after using the 3 ACPI files generated by OC Configurator's EFI Maker (SSDT-EC-DESKTOP, SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA, SSDT-UNC). After a few seconds it gets blurry with the 'No Way' sign. But the boot sequence definitely lasts longer. Please let me know what you think @MaLd0n @Slice, thanks in advance!

Slice Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 First, Clover should be recent 5159. Second, don't use VirtualSMC with Clover. Third, I did some significant DSDT changes on Processor section and on USB section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Lamp Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 @noisegate you can have a look at this. It's from a very similar build (check my signature.) It may help, strip out what you don't need, add some serial numbers. It's an older Clover version, but it worked for me on Monterey. @Slice what's the issue with VirtualSMC and Clover? I've been using it on my x299 rig for a long time without any obvious problems. X79 EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisegate Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 (edited) @Slice @J Lamp Thanks I’ll have a look at the end of august. I tried both OC and Clover. If memory serves, @MaLd0n’s Clover EFI contains a VirtualSMC kext? Have a nice summer Edited August 6 by noisegate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Why do you want VirtualSMC? Because someone convinced you? FakeSMC.kext has a support in EFI environment as SMCHelper.efi. VirtualSMC.kext also has such support as VirtualSMC.efi but it exists no more in distirbutions. It embedded into OpenCore. As well SMCHelper.efi is embedded now in Clover. In Clover we have full SMC circle: from macOS through FakeSMC they stored in NVRAM and then after reboot they are taken by Clover to emulate real SMC behaviour. VirtualSMC? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite a few years back, I think Rehabman was maintaining it at the time. Anyway, I was have some sort of issue with it, I tried VirtualSMC and it worked. It seemed there was more development taking place on it at the time so I simply stuck with it. On 8/12/2024 at 3:38 PM, Slice said: FakeSMC.kext has a support in EFI environment as SMCHelper.efi.

noisegate Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 @J Lamp Hi, so I tried your EFI and couldn't boot into Big Sur installer either (I ditched Monterey after many unsuccessful attempts). When you write "add some serial numbers", which do you have in mind? SMBIOS and UUID? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Lamp Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Yeah, the usual stuff. However that wouldn't be what's preventing it from booting. Sorry to hear that's not working for you, I'm surprised, Big Sur wasn't an issue on my x79 build. Are you sure you have all the bios settings correct? MSR lock is turned off? (I don't know what Asus calls that in their bios, but it's likely in there somewhere.) The usual trick is to pull all extra cards and unplug all unnecessary USB devices and give it a try. I would have thought the Asus would be an easy install, they typically are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noisegate Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Thanks guys. Actually I've also tried @RoberT_XeS's EFI, no luck. @MaLd0n is kindly trying to help right now, but it's a real struggle. He's already sent me 2 Clover and 2 OC EFIs, nothing makes it to the installer... 😤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
