Unlike previous versions of Windows, license authorization persists across formats and reinstalls. So it has to store a key somewhere in firmware. Windows PCs also have security features that don’t play well with dual booting, but they can be disabled in firmware settings. Ideally, Apple would do something similar rather than head down further down the path of “we know what’s good for you, and that’s disposing standardization and marrying hardware to operating systems in the interest of greater security and no you don’t get any choice in the matter.” If they do that, they’re just inviting the “yes, Linux can run on an [x]” crowd to break it just like they used to 20 years ago when Macs were especially closed platforms and technologies.

I don't think that is what's going on. The license authorization is actually a hardware hash not a stored key. Could be wrong but its probably something else.

couple of questions: 1) Only one output of my video card seems to work (a displayport); i gather this is because it's the "lowest number/letter" of the card or something along those lines; I'm only running one monitor, but if i were to want multiple monitors, how would I get the other ports to work? 2) I keep seeing stuff about the 15 port usb limit. I know exactly which ports I want/need to be those <15 ports (6x rear = 12, +1x usb2 inside the case); is there a guide to get this all set up properly? I do have usbinjectall but I have also read that it's not a good idea? I'm using a hub from one of the ports, and I have also read that this isn't a problem 3) under the system info, it does not show the correct (overclocked) clockspeed, and it also now only shows "imac"; how would I get this all to show up correctly? 4) I understand the basics of a DSDT, to provide the most accurate system info to the system, but: a) if I change any bios(uefi) settings, do I have to generate a new dsdt? b) how important is this? I'm not using any special dsdts, and it seems to be running? or does it just get better? c) I have attempted the f4 on boot, extract, run the script and open the dsdt.dsl/aml file, but I'm stuck there 5) sleep doesn't work. I want sleep to work. gently caress me right hardware/software: i7 4790k asus maximus vii hero 2x8gb something or another msi rx570 8gb "oc armor" "vanilla" install of 10.13.6 system definition of imac 14,2 kexts: applealc fakesmc_acpisensors, cpusensors, gpusensors, lpcsensors, smmsensors fakesmc intelmausiethernet lilu usbinjectall whatevergreen Wild EEPROM fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Jan 3, 2019 |

I turned off wake off lan, and sleep works. cool.

~Coxy posted:Does Nvidia 680 still work under Mojave, given that it used to have its own driven already in OS X and didn't rely on Web Driver? Yes it does as I have an original EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition running under Mojave. Apple seems to have made the Mojave installer slightly more forgiving with the latest 10.14.3 installer; was able to get a 5,1 running with a GTX 770 pulled from an old Windows machine. I had tried with the original 10.14.0 installer and it just LOL'ed and said no Metal card found. BTW, for Mac Pro 5,1 and 4,1 flashed to 5,1 owners, it's important to remember: The full installer for 10.13.6 flashes your BootROM to 138.0.0.0, which fixes an important bug in previous firmware, where if you have an ATI / AMD GPU it will only run at 2.5 GT/sec unless you remove an undocumented resistor from the card. With 138.0.0.0 ATI/AMD GPUs run at full 5 GT/sec regardless of mods. 138.0.0.0 also adds the ability to boot from APFS containers. The full installer for 10.14+ flashes your BootROM up from 138.0.0.0 to 140.0.0.0, which adds the NVMe driver from the 6,1 firmware, allowing you to boot the Mac Pro 5,1 from an internal NVMe SSD placed on a PCIe carrier card. BootROM 141.0.0.0 is being shipped with betas of 10.14.4, but as to date nobody knows what the changes OR benefits are yet, security patches I would assume.

So far so good with the NUC. Sleep works which is a first for any Hack I've had  . Have to go deeper into RehabMan's guides to see why my dual core i3 shows 4 cpus in Activity Monitor, I'm sure it's a SMBIOS or DSDT entry that needs to be tweaked.

I have an Intel wifi card and apparently there is zero support for Intel wifi cards. That's all good, but I googled a card that's supported well in OSX and when I opened up my laptop to install it the card slot was a different design. So how do you find a card that works?

By chipset. Look up what type of slot your laptop has (mini pcie, mini pci, etc) and then go from there.

Lenobo has a wifi card whitelist in BIOS that can technically be bypassed but it's no easy feat. It's a mini PCIe slot.

So if I'm piecing this together right, I need to find a mini PCIe wifi card that OSX supports that is also on a whitelist? But your implication is that is unlikely / impossible and I need to override the whitelist?

macOS has drivers for mostly Broadcom / Atheros chipsets, more Broadcom than Atheros though (because guess what, that's what Apple shoves into their machines except for the most recent ones.) Others like Ralink are supported by third party macOS drivers. There's zero support for Intel WiFi cards because Apple doesn't use them as a wifi vendor.

Last time I looked at the whitelist stuff (which was a while ago) you had to disassemble the bios, patch it, then flash it and hope it worked.

Hopefully someone here can help me out with Clover and why it's doing this fuckery. I installed CCC and backed up my macOS drive. Near the end, it asks if I want to clone the Recovery partition so I'm thinking "sure" and click yes. It takes a little bit of time, but eventually finishes up seemingly without a hitch. I reboot my computer and get to Clover, but I now only see the back up drive. When I try to boot into macOS from it, it gets to about 80% on the loading bar, and then restarts. But in reality, all I care *a lot* about is getting my original macOS drive to show up again. Not sure what to do or how to fix or what went wrong.

Try using a known good clover stick or make one to see if you can boot first. Otherwise since you have a backup, copy out the clover config/kext, wipe drive, reinstall MacOS then use migration to restore your user data. You will have an opportunity to do this without having to create a temporary account if you like. I am sure there are more elegant options, but I don't know them and flattening it will work.

LODGE NORTH posted:When I try to boot into macOS from it, it gets to about 80% on the loading bar, and then restarts. This exact nonsense happened to me last week. I was on El Capitan and it wouldn't boot anymore, exactly as you described it. TLDR version: I ended up swapping my 1TB boot/system drive for a blank 1TB drive and having to reinstall from scratch and install Clover in legacy boot mode (ga-z68x-ud3h-b3). That's somewhat oversimplifying it... but the longer version revolves around 2 days of trying to figure out why it won't boot, fighting with Gigabyte's moronic Dual Bios which fails to boot half the time and randomly dumps it's settings. Remembering to put the SATA mode back to AHCI makes the drive visible to Clover / MacOS. It was invisible with IDE mode and every time I unplugged the thing or it decided to reset itself - it would revert... What I ended up doing was installing El Capitan from my bootable install USB that I had made almost 3 years or whatever ago and installing to a portable usb hard drive that I borrowed from my XBOX One - then plugging my old boot drive in and retrieving the "install Sierra" file that had been collecting dust forever, making a bootable USB installer from that and THEN installing on my clean drive - followed by running the migration assistant to pull all the data over from my old drive (over USB it took 9 hours) and put it back where it belongs on Sierra. I suspect it would have worked if I could have just booted directly into MacOS from another drive and reinstalled Clover in Legacy boot mode (for my system). Since 16-32 gb flash drives are about $3-5 each it is now my plan to have a bootable fully installed instance of my current OS with all the tools handy. If this is too rambly I blame my head injury.

I’m a dumb baby who just did the Hackintosh thing for the first time, so excuse me. This Optiplex came with Win10 installed on a spinny drive. I unplugged that drive and installed Mojave on a new SSD with Clover. Everything seems to be working, so now I’d like to plug that original drive back in and dual-boot Windows. Is that something I setup in the Clover config tool from MacOS, something I change in Clover at boot time? Will Windows complain about not being on the first SATA port anymore? I haven’t touched anything but Apple laptops in a decade, so I’m out of my element. I just wanted a cheap garage Mac I could fill with sawdust.

Nope. However booting into Windows via the Clover boot menu doesn't work if you use the icons in that configuration. You will have to select "Exit Clover" which bypasses the bootloader and goes back the the normal startup process. If you want to use Clover to boot Windows you need to pre format the disk with an GUID/EFI partition. The format of the main partition can be whatever before the install as long as Windows installer can see that space and format that to NTFS. Or use bios to point to what you want to start up. It's easier just to point to Clover as the bios start-up menu is much slower. So it depends on how important you think pressing the right arrows a couple times means to you.

It doesn't for me and I looked it up wondering wtf as it worked fine before. I had completely wiped the disk letting Win10 do whatever. Haven't been arse to reinstall since I can always just exit Clover. Maybe I am missing something. If I am I definitely wouldn't mind knowing.
