No, booting after OpenCore starts is fast. It's the motherboard post part that's slow.

ahh! ok, gotcha!

 

[robertovisentin]

Yeah, exactly. It's weird.

@pastrychef do you know a way to make the Apple boot logo at the correct resolution? I own a 4k monitor and the logo is stratched and pixalated! Thanks!

No, I don't... I've never messed with the boot logo or looked in to how to change its resolution.

Hello @pastrychef!

My Hack is working fine with your OC 0.8.3 on Monterey although I get the message:
OC: Failed to drop ACPI 52414D44 0000000000000000 0 (0) - Not Found
before OC Boot menu.

Same message with OC 0.7.6 and 0.7.5 on another Boot drive with Mojave installation.

I've seen @Goiniro had the same problem/message… But I didn't find the solution

OC: Failed to drop ACPI 52414D44 0000000000000000 0 (0) - Not Found

This is saying config.plist > ACPI > Delete > DMAR is not found. (52414D44 = DMAR) I have no idea why you are getting this message.

FYI, if I didn't say before, BIOS 3004 works great. I haven't tried 3008, which is marked beta.

Another Problem I have is loading firewire Saffire driver in monterey. Sometimes it loads and audio works, mostly not Sometimes Nvram reset makes it work, when not I have to create a new admin account, install the driver, reboot and delete the account to make it work.

Maybe someone has a hint for one or both hiccups / problems?!

I would really appreciate! Thanks in advance!

Make sure VT-d and VT-x are enabled in BIOS.

I don't know how old those drivers are but newer versions of macOS handle kexts differently than old versions. Check for Monterey compatibility and/or updated drivers.

Hello! THX for your fast answer...

Yesterday I enabled VT-d in BIOS but it makes all of my mice and Keyboards unable to control anything even in OC boot menu... had to hard reset and disable it in Bios again to make keyboard etc work... Will try it again and report back.

Funny thing with the driver is, that Driver Software and MacOS says it is connected and loaded, so I can selct it in sound preferences and in Logic etc., also the kext seems to be loaded and active (as I've seen via terminal command) but I do not get Sound output.

Thank you!

Hi!

Make sure VT-d and VT-x are enabled in BIOS.

THX! It worked!

But now all my USB internal & external (no BT) aren't working anymore only the PXSX controller.

XHC is not reactive after trying differnt ports with USB2 stick. I'll try to reconfigure with Hackintool and report back!

Any Idea?
Thanks in advance!
