[Success] OpenCore 0.6.8 on my Mac Pro build

Status
Not open for further replies.
I use the new guide, and sanity checker to test my config.plist and when I see warnings from OC
l catch enough to find issue in config.plist and fix it.
I do read differences and configuration pdf plus use full sample plist to see whats new and removed

The latest thing they changed 'Block' to 'Delete' for the most part

When I say I loose OC I mean the UEFI/BIOS does not see OC EFI just Windows EFI
When it happens
Use OC EFI on USB to boot macOS - usually last release version
mount SSD EFI
move Microsoft folder from EFI
restart
enter UEFI/BIOS
set correct boot order - save and restart
if no issues put Microsoft folder back in place

No Problems booting windows right now, have Entry for it.


Code:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

I would recommend people using OpenCore read more on the ACPI and do the additional 3 or so SSDT for your system
Three I added
Power Management SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA
USB Desktop SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP
SMBus SSDT-SBUS-MCHC

Also Concerning USB Controller
SS and HS are 2 Controllers not 1 Controller or XCHI port limit would have limited me to 15 ports
HS01-HS14 - 14 ports
USR01-USR02 - 2 ports
SS01-SS10 - 10 ports
26 ports as listed in Hackintool
The USB one I added now shows My Passport HD USB 3.0 - it was not always detected in macOS

Added to current efi in post 1

Glad to help
I edited config.plist with text editor, is that okay ? I see these erros.... some of them were from before as well.

The developers
are slowly changing 'Block' to 'Delete'
the other two are deleted from Config.plist
 
Whenever I reset nvram is when I get into trouble

Only Windows boot loader shows up
Requiring me to use usb to boot
Temporarily remove Microsoft folder
Reboot then the UEFI OS Samsung 970 show up as a boot option select it OpenCore loads no problem but have to have picker on or it self picks itself causing the same critical error as when accidentally picking the windows icon with bless override entry empty

I decided that usb will always be picker on and verbose and tested before I do any updates

I just noticed that OpenCore shows up in boot options - i didn’t know what to think of it

Opencore shows up in bios boot options when you invoke the Bootstrap option. You should read
Dortania's section on setting up Bootstrap:

 
Use ProperTree to edit OC config.plist
It has a feature to add all kexts and ssdt files to config.plist
I figured out bootstrap stuff before
I have also put windows on separate ssd

Absolutely, it has the snapshot option that trims your plist down and automatically adds all kexts, drivers, tools etc..
