Need help migrating from Clover to OpenCore

[fivos1996]

Hi. I have a functional hack laptop running Mojave and I would like to test OpenCore. I was following this guide:

dortania/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide

Repo for the OpenCore Desktop Guide. Contribute to dortania/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

And I'm not able to boot. I get an instant early reboot after trying to boot from the Mojave partition, despite the fact that I have enabled the AppleXcpmCfgLock and LapicKernelPanic kernel patches. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no need to add your DSDT

VirtualSMC may be a better choice

also missing extra voodoops2 kexts in your kext list

-lilubetaall is not required

maybe have a read up on:

I must have done something wrong configuring the PS2 kexts. Do I have to insert the complete path of the 3 plugin kexts (Mouse, Keyboard, Trackpad)?

yes, they need to be in the specific order

OK so I corrected my mistakes on the PS2 kexts but I still can't boot. I either get this memory mapping error (see pic) or just an instant reboot right after the kernel loads (after "End RandomSeed"). No kernel panic. Any ideas?

could be a nvram issue, try resetting it

or this:

<< Solved >> - Opencore stuck on OCB startimage failed

Hi, I've already managed to get my I7-6700K Z270i Rog Strix MSI RX580 8gb Armor running MacOs Catalina on Opencore. I'm in the process of upgrading my friends with an I9-9900k Z390 Aorus Pro MSI RX580 8gb Armor. However I cannot seem to get past the following: 09:039 01:031...

Apologise for my ignorance, but how can I reset the NVRAM? sudo nvram -c in Terminal doesn't appear to do anything.

shoul dbe an option in the boot picker to reset nvram, you may need to read up on the guide you are following to enable it in the boot picker

Apparently I already had CleanNvram.efi in the Tools folder. I just had to enable it in the config.plist. I did so and I cleared the NVRAM successfully. However, I'm still facing the same problem as in post #5. Is there a way I can use AptioMemoryFix.efi with OC?

 

[Feartech]

AptioMemoryFix.efi with OC?

no, you have to use OpenRuntime.efi with latest OpenCore

may be worth downloading new zip from:

https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/download/0.5.9/OpenCore-0.5.9-RELEASE.zip

and update all files including BOOT\BOOTx64.efi OC\OpenCore.efi and drivers as well
