Hi everyone,
I tried to figure out the problem by myself but my yet again disappointing brain miserably failed to come out with a bright solution.
All I can say is that my build (the one exhaustively documented and greatly supported by
@CaseySJ here) has always worked until now, update after update, while at the same time maintaining my OpenCore up-to-date with the quite recent HackingDROM tool.
The system hangs a very long time at boot time but eventually reaches the log screen with no apparent graphical issue. The problem is that I can no more see my internal/external hard drives (even in disk utility) and my USB devices do not seem to be correctly detected either (e.g. my Logitech mouse can move the pointer but is no longer recognized by the Logitech driver).
I've attached a picture of the boot log in verbose mode. There is a lot of error messages but I am not even sure which is the one related to my issue. I have these ones:
AppleKeyStore:7633:162: unexpected session uid -1 requested by: AirPlayXPCHelper (162)
AppleKeyStore:12139:162: operation failed (sel: 7 ret: e00002c2, -1)
AppleKeyStore:12139:162: operation failed (sel: 7 ret: e00002f0, -1)
or this one:
AMFI: Launch Constraint Violation (not enforcing), error info: c[6]p[2]m[3]e[255] ...
or this one maybe (?):
connectx() - failed necp_set_socket_domain_attibutesAppleUSBTopCaseHIDDriver:0x100000587 open by IOHIDLibUserClient:0x1000007ec
My system was perfectly stable before that happens. I did not do any update. The thing is that I actually wanted to make the update to 14.4, so I first backed up my system on an external hard drive. Then the system became unresponsive when I ejected it (which happens very rarely), so I did a hard reset of the computer. This might have caused the issue.
Something different also came to my mind as the "
AppleUSBTopCaseHIDDriver" identifier appears multiple times in the log: I played around with an online app named VIA (usevia.app) on Chrome, which is able to reconfigure the keys of (compatible) keyboards. I have installed Chrome especially for that occasion - Chromium based browsers are the only ones supporting that HID Driver thing feature. It worked out very well... but I am wondering if it could not have messed up with my drivers and conflict with my OC configuration.
Booting with my external backup drive (and using the external drive EFI OC) shows the same issue, which is not that surprising as resetting my computer was the very next thing I did after the successful backup operation - which btw might exclude that the issue was caused by the hard reset itself... but I am sure of nothing at this point.
I've also attached the EFI containing my OpenCore configuration... hope this helps.
Any help will be warmly and highly appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!
Little edit: The hard drives eventually show up in Finder (but not in disk utility) after a HUUGE time
(about 30 minutes).
