I have a Gigabyte Z97-UD3H-BK with i5 3.5 Hz, 32 GB memory and Radeon RXVega 56 8 GB graphics. I have a number of dedicated HDs, one drive on which I have 10.15.4 booting with Clover 5108 and another drive on which I have installed OpenCore. Except for having to replace my Nvidia card with the Radeon to run 10.15, the Clover drive is fully functional, except for being locked out of iMessage, and has been rock stable for 3 years through the various OS updates.
Last week I thought I'd try OpenCore so I installed it on another drive. The install went very smoothly, thanks to the Developer community. As initially for my Clover setup I was unable to access the USB 3 ports so have been trying to set them up for the last week, unsuccessfully. I think I may have finally found my problem but I'm unable to find a solution. Booting with Clover I have native NVRAM but booting with OpenCore I do not. In other words running sudo nvram TestVar=HelloWorld in terminal, rebooting and then running sudo nvram -p | grep 'TestVar' results in HelloWorld in Clover and nothing in OpenCore. I also ran OpenCore Configurator and received the message "The bootloader looks like it is not installed or your NVRAM isn't native".
I also have another anomaly that I suspect may be linked to my NVRAM problem. In the NVRAM section of my congfig.plist, the values specified in boot-args and csr-active-config settings are not being implemented on startup. It does not bootup in verbose mode and I cannot disable SIP (I have tried E7030000, 0x3E7, and 0X67).
I have attached my config.plist file.
I appreciate any suggestions the community may have to resolve my problem.
Thanks.
