iMac Pro X99 - Live the Future now with macOS 10.14 Mojave [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[sputnik13]

@kgp I've updated my profile. I'm not sure I completely understand the "nulling" part. Are you saying I need to "null" all devices under BR3A@3? Looking at IOACPIPlane I see

So do I need to null all of these?

With respect to WEG, can it conflict in some way with the SSDT or should it be fine to leave it loaded?

Thanks for your feedback.

Actually, I just nulled D07A instead of D077 and it seems to have worked. Thanks for the pointer.

Where can I download Nvidia WebDriver-Payload Repackager?

Where can I download Nvidia WebDriver-Payload Repackager?

The download is linked in the guide. You must be logged in on Insanelymac to download the linked file.

Forget about patching the 10.13.6 web driver for its use under 10.14. Your Nvidia GPU will be still useless.

Change to Vega,

Good luck

@kgp Updated to 10.14.3 (using the standalone DMG file), updated the xcpm performance patch, rebooted, updated kexts, all good. Thank you for your updates.

macOS Mojave 10.14.4 beta1 (18E174f)

Important Note: to properly load respective kexts under 10.14.4 beta1 during boot, Clover_v2.4k_r4862 is deemed necessary. @sLice recently committed respective modifications of kext_inject.c introduced by @PMHeart.

10.14.4 Beta1 XCPM_performance patch by @PMHeart:

The port limit patches should be used in line with the fully implemented XHC USB kexts.

However, it is still recommended to disable the port limit patches and use truncated 15-port kexts instead. This might avoid buffer overruns and will make your system more vanilla with respect to future macOS updates.

Enjoy and have fun,

How about the the Haswell and Broadwell Xeons?
They fit in the X-99 Motherboards. Vendor have them listed in the CPU support documentation.

Thanks

It works quite well, I use an E5-2696v3 on X99-A II.

You are still using SMBIOS macPro6,1. Ever tried to use SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 and Type 0x0F01 in config.plist to avoid "unknown" processor details. While the former change is substantial, the latter is just cosmetic of course.

Yes, haha, I will fix it someday, the screen shot is my working macOS, I installed another SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 copy to a spare SSD, and tune it when I am free. Thanks!
