    macOS 11.2.1 Update

    Painless install. This version corrected a login screen weirdness introduced in 11.2, namely the login accounts being offset to the left as seen below: Things are now back to normal. I'm using a Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB card.

    macOS 11.2 Update

    Update worked fine using System Preferences > Software Update. I did not detect an installation volume during boot up; no boot intervention was required. I updated from macOS 11.1 to 11.2. All my kexts were up to date (see pic), and I'm on OpenCore 0.6.5. There was a lengthy delay from the...

    [SOLVED] How do I display unique disk names in the OpenCore boot picker screen (Big Sur)?

    It's really hard to say. A mistake that I've made in the past is not selecting the proper boot disk in the BIOS. That is, selecting the boot disk that actually contains your changes. The only other thing I could recommend is re-doing the entire procedure, step by step. Make certain that your...

    macOS 11.1 Update

    Update from 11.0.1 to 11.1 went fine. I encountered two reboots, and a very long "black screen" after the Apple logo/timed progress bar, where there was extensive disk activity. Total time was about 45 minutes. Note that upon each reboot, the typical "Install" volume never appeared. Instead...

    [SOLVED] How do I display unique disk names in the OpenCore boot picker screen (Big Sur)?

    Well, I figured it out. It's a two-step process. 1) Go here for the procedure on creating custom files called .disk_label and .disk_label_2x which both live in each disk's EFI/BOOT folder, using a utility called disklabel which is included as part of the OpenCore distribution. In using the...

    [SOLVED] How do I display unique disk names in the OpenCore boot picker screen (Big Sur)?

    I am running Big Sur 11.0.1 using OpenCore 0.6.3. Using Carbon Copy Cloner, I back up my macOS boot disk (named Macintosh SSD) to three separate disks, which are all APFS formatted, bootable and named: Daily M2 macOS Backup (internal M2) Daily Backup (internal SSD) Weekly Backup (external USB)...

    Clover to OpenCore migration - YES the custom SSDT-UIAC.aml USB mapping WORKS

    In the Dortania guide, there's a "Sanity Checker" for your OC config.plist that is pretty cool. You can run your own file through the checker to see if you're missing anything obvious. See: here.

    Clover to OpenCore migration - YES the custom SSDT-UIAC.aml USB mapping WORKS

    Yes they are. I have 15 ports working, including USB 3.0 and 2.0, internal and external.

    Clover to OpenCore migration - YES the custom SSDT-UIAC.aml USB mapping WORKS

    Certainly. I've also attached my modified SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl with comments so you can modify it if necessary to reflect the USB ports you're using, and recompile it for your own SSDT-UIAC.aml. I've also attached a couple PDF's with USB port numbers indicated. Of course, you'll need to change...

    Clover to OpenCore migration - YES the custom SSDT-UIAC.aml USB mapping WORKS

    That is one very sweet guide @Feartech. I only wish I had found yours when I did this for Clover. The author of the one I used (who shall remain nameless), had an aversion to writing actual sentences.

    Clover to OpenCore migration - YES the custom SSDT-UIAC.aml USB mapping WORKS

    After going through the mostly EXCELLENT "Dortania's OpenCore Installation Guide" the thorny subject of USB mapping reared its head. Initially, I was under the assumption that all the work I did creating a custom SSDT in Clover was for naught, and I'd again face this tedium. With that in mind...

    Apple’s First ARM-based Mac Will Feature 12-Core Processor, Release in 2021

    I predict that Apple will offer Mac Pro users a generous trade-in value to purchase new ARM-based hardware.

    Should I replace IntelMausiEthernet.kext with IntelMausi.kext?

    I see that the latest version of MultiBeast discontinues IntelMausiEthernet.kext, and instead offers IntelMausi.kext. Why? Should I replace IntelMausiEthernet.kext with IntelMausi.kext?

    << Solved >> Multibeast 12.1.0 "Clover UEFI Boot Mode + Emulated VRAM" is broken - boot hangs on "Scan Entries"

    Ultimately, I resolved this issue be abandoning the Clover Emulated NVRAM option, and instead went with a new SSDT fix. Even through this fix is for "300 Series" motherboards, I used in on my Asus PRIME Z270-A, and it appears to work fine. Ultimately, the old NVRAM function test, i.e.: sudo...

    NVRAM fix

    Update: I implemented your suggestions (added the SSDT-PMC.aml, switched from current Aptio fix to OcQuirks+FwRuntimeServices, etc), rebooted, and now iMessage is working! The NVRAM test: sudo nvram TestVar=HelloWorld reboot sudo nvram -p | grep 'TestVar' still doesn't work, but I've read...

    NVRAM fix

    Here's what I get: LocationServicesEnabled %01 fmm-computer-name Studio Hackintosh bluetoothActiveControllerInfo %8d%82%ac%05%00%00%00%00%b3%14x1%c1%e8%88 SystemAudioVolumeDB %f0 bluetoothInternalControllerInfo %8d%82%ac%05%00%00%b3%14x1%c1%e8%88 SystemAudioVolume A

    NVRAM fix

    Well, the operative word is "should." Unfortunately mine doesn't work. To confirm, I ran the "Clover Emulated NVRAM Uninstaller" app, verified that the NVRAM emulator components were gone, and then rebooted. Then I tested NVRAM with the following: sudo nvram TestVar=HelloWorld reboot...

    NVRAM fix

    Excellent - I'll definitely give this a shot. Question: I'm using an Asus Prime Z270-A, so is this "300 series" fix applicable?

    << Solved >> Multibeast 12.1.0 "Clover UEFI Boot Mode + Emulated VRAM" is broken - boot hangs on "Scan Entries"

    I will definitely give that a try. Will I need to remove the NVRAM RC scripts and files that were previously installed? Thanks!
