Updated to OC 7.8 but system says i am running 6.4? + Bootentry question

[BennyBAD]

After some searching I found a OC6,4 EFI for my - rather old - LGA1150 system (GA-Z97X-Gaming 7, Core I7-4790K 4GHz etc.) system. Runs fine. Updated from Catalina to Big Sur without any issues.

To get a later version of OC and newer Kexts I updated OC via OpenCore Auxiliary Tools. Updated fine to 7.8 (latest version in the app) and it says that when OC bootmenu comes up. Hower if I check in Big Sur I still get, that I am running 6,4 ...

"nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102pencore-version" gives
"4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102pencore-version REL-064-2020-11-12"

Also get 6,4 when I check with Hackintool.

Any suggestions for that? I did not have secureboot enabled so did not have to do anything about that before update.

Secondly: Can I change the bootentries when OC starts up? I have a Linux install that OC finds but it is just labeld "r" ... and my old Catalina install that was updated to Big Sur is still labeled Catalina.

Thank you in advance!

at the opencore boot picker, choose to reset nvram

Any suggestions for that?

at the opencore boot picker, choose to reset nvram

Or in a more targeted manner :

sudo nvram -d 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version

Thank you very much That did the trick! It now shows 7,8.

Any suggestions for getting the bootentries "fixed"/updated?

I have a Linux install that OC finds but it is just labeld "r" ... and my old Catalina install that was updated to Big Sur is still labeled Catalina.

A minor thing but since I am in the process of fixing things

Catalina install that was updated to Big Sur is still labeled Catalina.

maybe due to you calling the hard drive Catalina when you had Catalina installed?

It was called Catalina until I updated to Big Sur ....

there is a thread here that may help:

Opencore boot entry name

Hi there, After updating to Big Sur I decided to rename my system partition from Catalina to MacOS. However OC boot entry is still showing Catalina. I tried to reset NVRAM, CMOS, Flash Bios but nothing worked. Any Idea ? Thanks.

(I call my drive "macOS" so no issues with upgrading )
