Problems with macOS 14.1 Update

[brixx]

I want to add something to your post regarding the cpuname boot-arg.

If you want to use the boot-arg -revpatch=cpuname, these settings must be specified:

config.plist → NVRAM → Add → 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 → revcpu = 1
config.plist → NVRAM → Add → 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 → cpuname = your custom CPU name

Or, you can also use these as standalone boot args, but either use this or the -revpatch above:

-revcpuname = your custom CPU name
-revcpu = 1

Hi I tried both methods but I cannot get the CPU name to show on 14.1.2... any suggestion?
Thanks

Do you have RestrictEvents.kext in your EFI?.

Yes, absolutely

This is how I set up my EFI to display the CPU name.

My config.plist setup is similar to how @craighazan has his configured, with the exception that I also have revcpu=1 (this tells OC that you have a non-intel custom branding, in my case, 12-Core Intel i7-1200K).

Also, make sure your ProcessorType is correct (in my case, 3841).

You can upload your EFI here and one of us can take a further look at it.

Everything should set as yours...! But still doesn't work...!

I just updated to Opencore 0.9.7 and latest kexts, still no luck

Here is my config attached (I just deleted my serial numbers)

Thanks for your help!

SOLVED! Before I had right Config but old RestrictEvents Kext... then I updated the kext but had a typo in the boot arg (as visible in the attached config).

Thanks for helping anyway

I can see how a mis-spelled revpatch can cause system confusion!
