MP 1,1-5,1 Latebloom - An experimental workaround for the 11.3+ race condition

TheIguana · Jul 24, 2021

First off a big thank you to Syncretic and all of the other folks here!

This weekend I finally had time to explore using Latebloom as well as upgrading to Martin Lo's latest version of OpenCore with hardware acceleration (v0.7.1).

After setting up Latebloom I went through the process of installing 11.5 on top of my existing 11.2.3 install. I had to go through 4 hard shutdowns of the install process and removed most non-essential devices to get it to complete. After that I have been able to boot into MacOS with all of the hardware replaced.

Using Latebloom settings:

latebloom=150
lb_range=20
lb_debug=1

Good for you, but you can make this post much more useful with a hardware report.

MacRumors3590 · Jul 25, 2021

I hope my system report can help someone

I have decided to fully switch over to 11.5rc on all my machines because I can deal with the boot issue at this point.
I can boot ruffly 4 out of 5 times and that's good enough for me.
I have many clones of my 11.2.3 system so if there's a huge problem I can pop 11.2.3 in and i'm back up in a couple of minutes.
And yes I'm on a PCIe NVMe w/All Bays used up and a Win11 PCIe NVMe and tons of stuff on the USB ports.
(In closing) I'm not really sure how much of this is due to LB but I'm rolling with it!

Many thanks to everyone working to keep these old macs running!!!

Slightly off-topic: what is the best way to generate the system reports pole are posting? I am only familiar with the detailed report from System Information.

Good for you, but you can make this post much more useful with a hardware report.

If your interested in some specs you can try clicking my name, checking my profile... no need for a hardware report.

From A Guide to Using Latebloom which you can find on page 11 of this thread.

11. Record the the parameters you obtained the best results with. Record your MacPro hardware configuration. To collect information on your system for posting, the latebloom check v10.app created by @Macschrauber, is available for download as an attachment at the bottom of Post #277 is suggested. Please publish your results individually in a post to this thread. @Syncretic will review your results and analyze them and update the results for all to see in User-reported results Post #2. Note that Post #2 cannot be edited by thread users; thread users need to post their results individually and @Syncretic will update Post #2 as time permits.)

Still fiddling with parameters. Cold boot not properly working most of the time.

Thank you for the report. However (from post #1, emphasis added):

Syncretic said:
I'm requesting that once you've decided on an optimal (or at least "good enough") value for your system, please post in this thread with your system configuration and your latebloom parameters;

I'm quite busy, so it's difficult for me to keep up with the reports and keep post #2 up to date; therefore, I'd appreciate it if folks would only post their results when they feel like they're "done" - in other words, no longer "fiddling with parameters," either happy with their results or decided that further experimentation isn't going to make things any better. Intermediate findings like this are mostly a distraction to me, unless they're posted in the context of "I'm using these values and this odd thing is happening, can anybody help?"

(This is not intended as a slam; I do appreciate that folks are trying this out and posting their findings. I'm just trying to keep things a bit more organized. @haralds, I will gladly incorporate your results into post #2 whenever you indicate that the posted values are "final," or at least less provisional than "still fiddling with parameters.")

Installed 11.5 on a blank Sata SSD from createinstallmedia Stick.

latebloom 100/10/1 gave me freezes in cold boot
latebloom 200/10/1 gave me freezes in warm boot but survived installation
150/10/1 set me up on this machine (NVMe, USB3, plenty of partitions)

I'm quite busy, so it's difficult for me to keep up with the reports and keep post #2 up to date; therefore, I'd appreciate it if folks would only post their results when they feel like they're "done" - in other words, no longer "fiddling with parameters," either happy with their results or decided that further experimentation isn't going to make things any better. Intermediate findings like this are mostly a distraction to me, unless they're posted in the context of "I'm using these values and this odd thing is happening, can anybody help?"

Thanks again for your continuous work! Even, if the current solution is not perfect, it is a big step forward.

I hope, I'm not disturbing you, I just wanted to share a few thoughts with you:

1. As you have already indicated, something is wrong with the `apfs.kext`. I had an interesting observation with very high `latebloom` values (greater than 750). The Mac Pro booted slowly, but steadily, and ended up with the prohibition symbol. That's what I thought, but the Mac Pro finally caught itself and booted up, with the prohibition symbol in the front

. My theory is, the `apfs.kext` "initialises or checks" all APFS partitions in parallel and this process causes problems or takes too much time on our old machines. The more hard disks and partitions you have, the more often problems occur.
2. Would it be possible to detect warm or cold boots via code and assign different `latebloom` values? Perhaps you could increase the probability of successful booting with different values for warm and cold boots. Not really nice, but maybe it helps even more with that.

As I have already mentioned, the most difficult part in my case was to install 11.3+ as the various installers hung repeatedly. Today, of course with the help of latebloom, I was able to install 11.5 with the following parameters: latebloom=15, lb_range=1, lb_debug=1. It is my impression (and if I am not mistaken this has been indirectly implied) that the higher the latebloom value, the more likely for the installer to hang (11.3, 11.4, 11.5). With latebloom=15 the installation only suffered one hang and that was at the last reboot just before the creation of the macos account. Once installed, of course, the parameters have been changed to latebloom=400, lb_range=50 and lb_debug=1. So far I've had 6 out of 6 successful cold boots:

This is a known (to @Syncretic ) behavior.

Tried to install 11.5 now everything stuck with this message" apfs_module_start:2845: load: com.apple.filesystems.apfs, v1667.120.9, apfs-1677.120.9, 2021/05/08"

even my back up of 11.4 is doing that and my other HDD with Mojave is jamming too.

any1 has a clue what is going on?

MacRumors3590 · Jul 25, 2021

Zap PRAM.
To start with I would take every drive out but the 11.5 drive .
Then try re-installing 11.5 OS

Updated today from 11.2.3 to 11.5 including upgrading from Opencore 0.66 to 0.71

Updated OC first, then put latebloom in place, then upgraded MacOS.

install worked like a charm, no reboot required, tried several reboots now, warm and cold boots, seems quite good

1. As you have already indicated, something is wrong with the `apfs.kext`. I had an interesting observation with very high `latebloom` values (greater than 750). The Mac Pro booted slowly, but steadily, and ended up with the prohibition symbol. That's what I thought, but the Mac Pro finally caught itself and booted up, with the prohibition symbol in the front . My theory is, the `apfs.kext` "initialises or checks" all APFS partitions in parallel and this process causes problems or takes too much time on our old machines. The more hard disks and partitions you have, the more often problems occur.
2. Would it be possible to detect warm or cold boots via code and assign different `latebloom` values? Perhaps you could increase the probability of successful booting with different values for warm and cold boots. Not really nice, but maybe it helps even more with that.

The "prohibition symbol" (which the source code refers to as the "failed boot" image) is interesting, because it's really just a timeout indicator. The BSD initialization (in IOFindBSDRoot()) sets a 60 second timer to find a bootable root device. If that timer expires before a device is found, the "failed boot" image is displayed (which, if the display is all text instead of the graphical boot picker, will usually garble the text) - however, the code that displays the image doesn't then abort the boot, it continues trying to find a usable root device. Forever. (At least the Intel code does this; it looks like the ARM64 code then goes into some form of recovery.) Under normal conditions, seeing the "failed boot" symbol is a pretty good indication that the boot has, in fact, failed (if it can't find the root device within 60 seconds, it's unlikely to find one at all). However, with latebloom in play, large delay values can exceed that 60 second timeout, so the symbol pops up - but the system keeps looking, and after all the latebloom delays are done, it can (and will) still successfully boot. (I discovered this in preliminary latebloom testing, the first time I tried delays of 1500ms.)

re: Separate latebloom= values for warm/cold boots - I have looked at this a few times now, and have yet to find a reliable way of determining the type of boot (warm/cold). If I could do that reliably, I would definitely include that feature in latebloom, because a high percentage of users have reported differences between warm and cold boot success rates. I will continue looking into this as time permits; if anyone knows a reliable/consistent way to determine warm/cold boot status from inside the kernel, I'm all ears... (I am aware of the do_init_slave() distinction (called with FALSE from pstart, TRUE from pmCPUHalt); however, those two paths don't seem to leave any consistent bread crumbs to follow (slave_main() may or may not preserve the "fast boot" flag, depending on the processor state). Hooking the startup code is timing-dependent, and hooking it from a kext is a losing proposition, so adding a new indicator is problematic.)

Thanks for the explanation, makes total sense now. The question now is, what has changed with 11.3 so that there are problems finding all bootable images in the right time? I also notice, when you increase the `latebloom` value, the devices are registered differently. Normally, my NVME and SSD are mounted as `disk0` and `disk1` and my old and slow hard drive last. With high values it is the other way round. Maybe i should remove the old disk and do some additional testing.

Big kudos to you for trying to find a solution. I wish, i could help you, but i am definitely not a kernel hacker. But maybe someone else will find a solution. This would probably help a lot with macOS updates to run without issues. I my experience you need higher values for cold booting and lower values for warm booting including macOS updates.

I've seen my disk positions shift around even with 11.2.x. Sometimes my boot drive (NVME) shows up at disk0 and sometimes it shows as disk1. I haven't done much investigation to see if it's repeatable between warm/cold boots.

Last night I had a Big Sur crash and it failed to restart after that. Always stalled. Ended up booting into Mojave and trying warm starts, but no success. Finally resorted going back to booting into Catalina using OC.
Will try some more later today. Odd since it worked so well for quite a while.

Reason why it crashed? That is, was it during an app running or starting up?

Just a few words to report a successful update on my main Big Sur disk to version 11.5 (I've published my hardware details earlier). Latebloom was set to 15/1/1. Installation only succeeded after removing all disks, except for the one with OC 0.7.1 and Big Sur itself. After installation was completed, 11.5 loaded completely (according to the progress bar), but then rebooted. The second boot took me to the Desktop without any issues. Latebloom is still set to 15/1/1.

By the way, BS 11.5.1 has been released. Has anyone installed it?

EDIT: The successful install procedure began with a cold boot, but ALL later boots were WARM ones!
