How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[kgp]

Hi @kgp:
There was a recent update to Clover where they say that removing EmuVariableUefi-64.efi is no longer necessary for installation:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304530-clover-change-explanations/page-5#entry2544392

o.k. thanks for this important notification. I will release a new EFI-Folder with the most actual clover package. Can somebody confirm that by this the removal of EmuVariableUefi-64.efi is really obsolete for the macOS 10.13.2 update?

One should also check, whether it is possible again to successfully boot 10.13.2 with the likely modified OsxAptioDrv.efi's of the new and most actual clover distribution.

Thanks in advance,

KGP

@prunzi I think it could be cool if @lucatze could share his EFI for you... (you have the same MB)
I know our chief KGP don't like shared EFI, because some others can use bad thing when they shouldn't...
but in your case, of you both, it could be cool to see if @prunzi XCMP works better than before
This is most important, but later you should compare some BIOS settings
without XMP profile of course

Here you go!

My EFI Configuration is very conservative. You won't find any fancy settings

Please don't forget to adjust your VoodooTSync to correct amount of CPU cores.

Holly ...#*.. this is crazy .. - people please don't use that config at home!
But thank you anyway for sharing, I will prepare something on it, and my old cfg
only for few tests with prunzi.

Hm, everything works as expected. Whats your suggestion ?

I mean ACPI fixes, patches, generate options.. USB inject, AddClock,FixOwnership
and AppleRTC and first time I see 0x3E7 at the place of 0x67 but it less important than other things ...
which I see rarely (especially almost all fixes checked)
PS: If everything works correctly for you - it's most important

 

[lucatze]

Thanks for the hint. I corrected that. Im not using ssdtprgen anymore, as I get higher real life performance without it.

BTW: I can't recommend you, CPU overclocking with only 1x8 pin power supply on your motherboard...


I think prunzi didn't updated his EFI for 10,13,2 and you YES,
so if you change osxaptio... + Test2016 in his folder with yours, or simply
:change his drivers64uefi folder with your actual + add your VoodooTSync, not his... and should be better

Well, I'm not sure to understand, but the EFI I posted is my actual EFI and runs perfectly (on my machine) with MacOS10.13.2.

my hackintosh can not work with your efi finder·······

I had this message only one Time, rebooting solved the issue for me.
