was just going by your image and the quoted text...Sorry, what didn't I type correctly?
Those both appear correct to me.
- "setup_var 0x4ed"
- "setup_var 0x04ed 0x01"
i have just seen your other posts, best to be using the same bios version from post 1 if you are following that section of the guide as using a later one may have a different set var variables and could ruin your bios if not done correctlyOK, please tell me what appears to be incorrect to you! They appear correct to me, and I have typed both commands multiple times.
3.) Newer BIOS only has the effect of disabling undervolting (not required) and a reset of the UEFI variables. You'll find OpenCore has several differences over Clover. You'll want to check your MSR lock, etc. or enable the appropriate quirks. But you give you an easy answer, you should not need to roll back BIOS. I simply keep mine on a lower revision to allow for undervolting. I'm not sure if a rollback is possible - I haven't had to attempt it.
If you are unable to disable CFG lock then enable AppleXcpmCfgLock in your config.plistUnderstood. However, InsaneCultist wrote:
Do you disagree?
yes, you are good to goThanks, it was and is enabled. So then the output of VerifyMsrE2.efi shown in my photo above is not a problem because AppleXcpmCfgLock just circumvents it? That's what was unclear.
To avoid booting Windows or other OS's with OpenCore, use the F12 Boot Menu and another boot option in BIOS to bypass OpenCore entirely.
This is off topic for this thread. If you are legacy booting Windows and Linux, it's possible your disk partitions are not set up correctly for OpenCore. OpenCore does not support legacy boot. You would need to either convert your Windows/Linux installs to UEFI or stick with an alternate bootloader.Thanks for all the help. While I could get Monterey running on the external SSD, it would not install on the internal one, so I went back. OC seems to be an improvement, except that it's not clear how to set up legacy booting for my Windows and linux partitions.
Should I use rEFInd? Put Clover on a USB stick? Is there good guide for that?
