Dear All Hackintosh Users
After updated the macOS Big Sur to the latest version.
My Hack com pop-up a message that show

"Your computer was restarted because of a problem"​

And I check the EFI using OpenCore Configurator and another message:*Refer to the attachment.
NOTE: This version of ocvalidate is only compatible with OpenCore version 0.9.3!
OCS: Missing key Override, context <Serial>!
Serialisation returns 1 error!
Completed validating /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/config.plist in 3 ms. Found 1 issue requiring attention.


What is this mean?
My OpenCore is 0.9.3

*Before updated to the latest Big Sur, everything is working fine.
Please help.

What is this mean?
It means the key is missing in your config.plist.
Compare your config.plist with the sample.plist supplied with the OpenCore download.

If I am not wrong about the Serial part.
For my previous EFI config record and from the USB EFI.
There is nothing called Override in the Serial section.
Please refer to the attachment.

Or it actually has some content for the serial?
Then what is it?
Or how can I solve it?

I review the 0.9.3 sample.plist from the OpenCore supplied.
Yes. I found there is a " Serial > Override > Boolean > False " in the sample.plist file.
Pls refer to the attached.
Just that only.

Then What is the serial missing key Override, context ?
I couldn't understand this. Pls guide !

Or I have to follow as the sample.plist?
Add " Serial > Override > Boolean > False " ?

It's not rocket science.
The item is missing in your config.plist.
The sample.plist shows you how it should be.
Enter it in your config.plist as per the example (sample.plist).

follow the sample.plist, then run ocvalidate to make sure you have no errors

Done. Thanks for your info.
How about this :

"Your computer was restarted because of a problem"​

Should I ignore it?

That much depends on the cause of the error.
Also if it is a one-off or recurring.
