I'm a novice so some one please correct me if i am wrong. but I've encountered something like this before. Its possible that your windows install is using a Master boot record and is not GPT formatted. Clover will only look at the EFI parts of the hard drives to see if there is something bootable. You can convert a Masterboot record windows install to GPT with a special tool. There's a chance it might not work so people recommend that you back up important things first but i've done this on a few systems with no issues. https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/mbr2gpt.html I believe once your windows has an EFI on it, clover will see it automatically and display a little windows boot hard drive.

I had a Windows 10 install that I had to ditch and specifically re-install with EFI because it had done the non-EFI install. I still have no idea why. It was done on a fully compatible EFI motherboard.

So I’m thinking about finally upgrading my GPU but at the same time getting one that makes Catalina and Mojave a possibility. Is there anything I should be aware of? I already have the lilu and WhateverGreen kext, but are there things I should be turning off or disabling if I have an Nvidia GPU? And then there’s the actual goal - updating. Is that as simple as just doing it? For reference, I’m going from a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and was looking at a RX 590.

Time machine before update. Keep a known good boot stick on standby. Don't have more than one graphics card, disable iGPU. Nvidia won't be accelerated obviously. RX 590 is OOTB, swap before update.

So I got mojave working on a fresh setup for my wife. Was real excited to see OSX running on a box full of rgb puke that she requested, however Corsair's LL120 fans don't produce light. They don't have official iCUE support for OSX. I am scouring the internet for a solution before returning the fans. Anyone have any success with them?

So i ended up putting the hackintosh right up against another windows machine I have, plugged the lighting node pro into the USB socket and sata power on the windows machine in some unholy RGB transfusion, ran lightning node pro and set the lighting effect I wanted, updated the firmware, and now the fans run the last setting used while booted to osx. Without having to dual boot windows. So that’s a thing I did.

I feel like we're all hoping that the new driver model in System 10.15 will allow Nvidia to release their own drivers from here on out. (And they're waiting for this so they don't sink engineering effort into the deprecated driver system?)

I watched the WWDC session video on this and the new userspace driver model will not cover GPU drivers at all in Catalina. They're starting out with relatively simple drivers: USB devices, network interface cards, and serial port drivers IIRC. Being Apple, they did not announce any schedule for extending the new driver model to GPU drivers, or whether that will happen at all. It's a safe bet that if they do have such plans, they won't be realized sooner than 10.16.

I hope you're not right, but you probably are so at least we should be getting Navi drivers soon and we can just get 5700XT instead.

How are AMD CPUs working these days? I've just been forced to replace my i7-5820k gaming monster with a Ryzen 5 3600X-based midrange gaming rig. Mobo is Gigabyte, GPU's a RX 580. How hosed would I be if I decided I wanted to dual-boot 10 and whatever the current MacOS build is on this hardware?

I even passthrough a Broadcom wireless card so handoff and WiFi work as well. The entire setup from beginning to end was about an hour and a half. I hit about 2% slower than bare metal speeds.

Is there any way to deal with the USB port limit other than through a custom SSDT? Having to follow 25 pages of poorly written instructions just to get my wifi working is the stage at which I’m considering dropping the hackintosh thing altogether. And I guess you’re not supposed to use USBInjectAll for this, because reasons?

I think it would be less frustrating if it were explained in a way that actually made sense. It’s amazing how there’s both so much documentation and also how they are the most poorly written docs I’ve ever seen.

Also doesn't help that starting with El Capitan, Apple forgot how to write a proper USB stack. Starting with somewhere in 10.11.2 or so it became an absolute nightmare that only got a bandaid fix by Sierra and never recovered.

me, a literal buffoon posted:Just https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/ I feel much better about my install now, and I wish I'd listened to everydamnbody sooner. Keeping everything on the UEFI partition takes a few more steps, but it's awesome to be more than fairly confident that my install will not break during an update, and also just really demystifying the config.plist after all this time. I have some Cambridge Soundworks Creative speakers with a digital coax input, which I've always preferred, and while my previous board had a coax out, this one doesn't. Last year I bought a bracket / addon card to connect to the mobo header, and that worked in Windows but of course not OS X. I would say using the guide above helped me finally figure out how to get it working, which just seemed too confusing before. I had to install xcode, mirror the AppleALC kext repository, edit a couple files and recompile for my chipset, and now it works as the Digital Out in my Sound preferences. I'll finish and say that if MultiBeast etc gets you up and running, and your system works well enough for you, fine. But yeah, I do get it now, and shake my head at that guy quoted above.

I originally had my setup done with multibeast but I’ve slowly been moving everything out into the EFI partition manually. It’s true that it becomes a lot easier when you do it yourself since you know everything that is going on. Remembering what I’ve done when it comes time to gently caress with it again will be another matter.

I've been working off of my Mac partitions for a couple months, and now that I want to go back to them absolutely everything is going wrong. I can run the clover bootloader just fine, but trying to boot the partition proper and it hangs up on "Waiting for DSMOS...", my backups either do the same or crash out even earlier, and my emergency USB Installer is worthless. Pretty much all I have now is my windows partition and the Mac I use at work. I can access the EFI partition from Windows so I copied in the newest version of FakeSMC, since that's supposed to fix the DSMOS problem. Nothing. I don't know if there's something I'm missing but every single drat guide on the internet about Waiting For DSMOS is identical and useless. My system's been behaving for so long that I'm at a complete loss, here.

Have you updated Clover? Running a really outdated version can cause problems when updating MacOS and on the flip side there was a change in newer versions where some of the efi plugins changed names so you might have to install all the Clover plugins again.

Well, look at that. Figured a bump is okay since that last post is almost 2 months old. Anyway, I upgraded to the RX 5700 XT and catapulted all the way up to Catalina from High Sierra. Changing my SMBIOS at first broke wifi and bluetooth and gave me that iCloud error, but I refreshed it and all and now WiFi and iCloud work fine. However, bluetooth still doesn't. It doesn't so much so that the whole preference pane isn't there. It shows up in the menubar still, but with the squiggly line going through it. Anyone have any ideas? Running off a BCM943602CS which, as far I know, was natively supported in macOS. e: Looks like we'll enter another 2 month drought. I fixed it. A guy on another forum had a problem with the kext not working for him, so he made an edited one and put it up for download. I'm reposting it just so I can be assured the download will work later when I need it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y9MMMnD51j3IZ43XpJ8JKRZ9jRq_qmrw?usp=sharing Then, I found out just popping kexts into /Other on the EFI partition isn't enough anymore. Who knew. So I installed it correctly and now I'm back in business. LODGE NORTH fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Jan 7, 2020 |
