<< Solved >> Trouble booting with OC...

Morg42 · Sep 22, 2021

Hi,

my system is
ASRock H370M-Pro4 with Intel UHD630 iGFX, i219V ethernet, RTL ALC892 sound
i5-8600K (Kaby Lake)
Radeon RX570 (dual monitor, 2 DP connected)
Sys: Samsung 970EVO 500G NVMe onboard
Data (home): Viper M.2 VPN100 with PCIe NVMe adapter

Clover 5xxx
Mojavem

which is running fine... basically

I wanted to try / switch to opencore and followed Dortanias guide and set up an USB EFI boot drive (config below), which stalls after initializing the iGPU, getting 4 60sec timeouts 'busy timout[n]m (60s): ´AppleACPICPU´', shows 'IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0', then the screens turn black, then the monitors go to sleep. More than 5 minutes later, nothing new has happened.

For this to work, I followed the guide linked by Dortania to switch from Clover to OC, which meant deleting kexts and some startup files (I moved them to new directories).

Now I'm left without my Hackintosh running, as
- OC doesn't complete bootup
- Clover reaches the Apple logo and hangs
- Recovery either stalls at Apple logo or show illegible error msg (press key to continue) and reboots
- UEFI shell shows moved clover files, but doesn't let me write to APFS drive, so I can't put them back
- apfstools from linux are r/o only, furthermore the "new" folders are not shown either.

All kexts/drivers/OC packages are freshly downloaded yesterday from their (GitHub) repos, config.plist was created from sample.plist according to the guide, I hope

Referenced drivers/kexts are present.

OC config.plist:

Anyone got ideas for me to get back to a bootable system?

etorix · Sep 22, 2021

Is MSR 0xE2 (CPGLock) unlocked through the BIOS? Else, AppleXcpmCfgLock is missing.

Morg42 · Sep 24, 2021

Yes, 0xE2 is unlocked. Tried the OC utility and it matches the BIOS setting.

I completely reset the USB drive and installed OC again, now it reboots as soon as I choose the MacOS partition to boot from (MSR 0xE2-tool runs fine).

The remainder of the boot log is as follows:

Post a copy of your OC folder so we can see what you are using and what you are not using with your Z370 system.

Reading the config.plist above is a pain, but what I immediately noticed is that you are not using SSDT-AWAC.aml, which is one of the three recommended SSDT's for a Z370 system.

Remember to redact/delete your Serial number, MLB, ROM and SystemUUID from your config.plist.

Morg42 · Sep 26, 2021

This is a H370 system, not a Z370; OC guide for Kaby Lake didn't mark SSDT-AWAC.aml as essential; I will try if it helps.

Is there a better way to show/post the config? I didn't know any, sorry... the device info data should be redacted (replaced with 00/0000).

The EFI folder contains:

Code:

EFI
├── BOOT
│   └── BOOTx64.efi
└── OC
    ├── ACPI
    │   ├── SSDT-EC-USBX.aml
    │   └── SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA.aml
    ├── Drivers
    │   ├── HfsPlus.efi
    │   └── OpenRuntime.efi
    ├── Kexts
    │   ├── AppleALC.kext
    │   ├── IntelMausi.kext
    │   ├── Lilu.kext
    │   ├── NVMeFix.kext
    │   ├── SMCProcessor.kext
    │   ├── SMCSuperIO.kext
    │   ├── USBInjectAll.kext
    │   ├── VirtualSMC.kext
    │   └── WhateverGreen.kext
    ├── OpenCore.efi
    ├── Tools
    │   ├── ControlMsrE2.efi
    │   ├── OpenShell.efi
    │   └── modGRUBShell.efi
    └── config.plist

The .aml-files were created along the OC ACPI docs for this system specifically.

etorix · Sep 26, 2021

A request to "post your EFI folder" means to zip a copy of said folder and attach it to your post so other members can look at it. Please redact the config.plist to remove serial numbers before zipping—these are best kept private.

If you followed the OpenCore ACPI docs, you should have dumped the ACPI tables (OpenCore DEBUG, Misc>Debug>SysReport:True) and used the information in there to edit the SSDTs. Correct?
Then, if you open the DSDT.aml file with MaciASL and search for "ACPI000E" (or "AWAC") do you get a hit? https://dortania.github.io/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Universal/awac-methods/manual.html
If so, you need some form of SSDT-AWAC. This is a case by case matter, so it cannot be covered by a general guide. Some manufacturers have introduced an AWAC in old systems through a BIOS update, others still use good old-fashion RTC.

Edhawk · Sep 26, 2021

The SSDT-AWAC.aml is required for most H370 boards too, according to the OC Coffee Lake desktop guide.

Try adding the SSDT-AWAC.aml and see if it helps.

Morg42 · Sep 26, 2021

Oh, then I misunderstood the "post EFI folder"... sorry!

According to the "which ssdt do I need" Kaby Lake wouldn't need AWAC, that's why I didn't include it at first.

Now I started a new try, re-reset NVRAM (just in case) and tried booting with AWAC - no change. Attached EFI folder (redacted plist) is the last version I tried.

Always reboots to BIOS at the point where I would expect it to load the kernel.

(btw - the Mojave recovery system on the second partition of the USB boots slowly from OC, but fine...)

Edhawk · Sep 26, 2021

Your system uses a Coffee Lake CPU and Motherboard, it is not a Kaby Lake system. If you followed the OC guide for a Kaby Lake desktop system, there lies your problem.

You may not need SSDT-PMC.kext with your H370 board. Neither the Z370 or HM370 boards need this, I would assume the same for your H370.
You may need to add CtlnaAHCIPort.kext to your setup, so your SATA controller is found correctly in macOS.

Other than these two elements the OC folder setup is fine.

The same can not be said for your config.plist.

You should be using the iMac19,1 SMBIOS when running Mojave or newer. The iMac18,3 SMBIOS should be used when running High Sierra or older. So if you are running Mojave or newer change the SMBIOS in your setup accordingly.

Try the revised EFI folder attached below. You need to add the PlatformInfo > Generic for your SMBIOS before you attempt to use this OC 0.7.3 setup with your Coffee Lake H370 system.

Morg42 · Sep 26, 2021

Thanks a lot, I will try this.

When I change the SMBIOS from iMac18,3 to iMac19,1, do I need a new serial, will this affect iMessage and the lot?
