[Solved] Your computer was restarted because of a problem

[herzberger]

On every startup I see the message that my computer was restarted because of a problem.

System uptime in the log is always the same, so I guess it's a faulty error that's stored somewhere.

I read other threads with similar problems, but deleting nvram.plist didn't help and

sudo nvram -c

results in

nvram: Error clearing firmware variables: (iokit/common) not permitted

Attached is the error log.

I hope someone has an idea or sees something in the log I do not.

Thanks.

Which version of Aptio fix are you using?
Can you attach your EFI folder?

 

[herzberger]

OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi, should I try 3?

 

[Michelinu]

Latest version is AptioMemoryFix-64.efi, use it instead of the one you're using.
Delete also EmuVariableUefi-64.efi if you're using it.

Delete your nvram.plist file, then reboot.


If you post your entire EFI folder we can be more accurate

 

[herzberger]

Found the problem. Reason was that an old apfs.efi from High Sierra was in my drivers64UEFI folder. Using ApfsDriverLoader.efi now. Just changing the old OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi with AptioMemoryFix.efi and deleting EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi (thought that I still need it for iMessage) was not enough, but thanks for pushing me into the right direction!

I had the same message keep coming up but had already dumped using apfs.efi and switched to ApfsDriverLoader.efi.
I solved it by unplugging my Wacom Tablet before booting. A bit strange that the tablet worked fine if I booted with it plugged in but if I plug it in after booting then it no longer works.

Off to search for updated drivers for the tablet.

Looks like your USB are not working properly. Did you make a custom SSDT for it?

 

[Ploddles]

Everything else plugged in via USB is working fine and the tablet works when plugged in at booting. Just not if I plug it in afterwards (USB 2). Booting with it unplugged solves the error message.
There is a notice on Wacom's web site about having to enable a tick box in System Preferances | Security & Privacy | Privacy | Accessibility. Unfortunately the Wacom driver bit is missing from there so I can't enable it. Reinstalling the driver/app hasn't made any difference. The next step will be to find where the driver is located and add it manually to see if that sorts it.
I haven't used the tablet on my real Macbook so I'll have to try it there when I update that to Mojave.

I am a newbie to all this hackintosh stuff and was having a read about making a custom SSDT so that is on my list of things to do. I want to sort out the tablet issue first, and then finally the sound (ALC1220), and then everythings is up and working and I can start so see if I can figure SSDTs out.
Cheers.

@b166ar I made a custom SSDT but that didn't make any difference, it still exhibited the same problem. I eventually changed the USB cable to the tablet and everything is working fine now. Thanks anyway as this forced me to sort out the SSDT.

I also get this error:

nvram: Error clearing firmware variables: (iokit/common) not permitted[code]

Can't seem to clear the NVRAM file. Can't find it anywhere.
