[Solved] Sometimes Couldn't allocate runtime area

[Markrutte]

When booting I sometimes get the error couldnt allocate runtime area.

Then I reboot a few times and it boots up normally but it still is pretty annoying since it can take upto 4 times.

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these issues and if so how can you fix this?

My setup:
Cpu: I5 6500
Gpu: Gtx 960
Mobo: msi z170 tomahawk ac
Drive: Ssd samsung 256gb

I attached a screenshot below with the error message I get when booting with -v boot arg

Replace OsxAptioFix2Drv with this,

Make sure that CsrActiveConfig is set to 0x67 on your config.plist.

<key>RtVariables</key>
    <dict>
       <key>BooterConfig</key>
       <string>0x28</string>
       <key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
       <string>0x67</string>
    </dict>

After adding above entry, try booting with OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi & OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi (do not add both drivers at the same time)

If above drivers are still making same issue, then boot with attached OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi driver.

Thanks, but where do I add the drivers and do I have to rename the free 2000 one?

Im kinda new to hackingtosh so I have no idea where to add the .efi's and if I have to replace them

You can put the driver under /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ folder.

You don't have to rename it.

Thanks going to try it and let you know if I had any success

edited my config.plist to the one you said and after putting the .efi in the /Other folder the issue is still there.
and I'm only using OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi
Is there something else I can try?

the error address is now 0x121a4 btw. idk if this changes every time

got it working now, removed the OsxAptioFix2Drv and placed the OSxAptioFix2Drv-Free200 in there and now I don't get the error anymore. Thanks for the help everyone!

I have the same error, sometimes "couldn't allocate runtime area" other times "Error loading kernel cache".

This usually happens with OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi if i try the "OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi" or the "OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi" the boot goes but stops at the Disk check with this error:

Any advice?
