Thank you! But, if I'm not wrong, I have a BCM943602CS (see screenshot) which is supported in Monterey. Even if I am wrong, Bluetooth sometimes works after a reboot in Monterey. Any thoughts?

Yes, however I'm using a BCM94360CD with a BCM20702 bluetooth chipset. I have to plug the USB header into a USB hub first to get it to work as the default OHCI controller (USB1.1) is quite broken in Monterey. Forcing the EHCI controller (via using a USB hub) works fine
the usb 1 thing. I have onBoard Bluetooth disabled by pulling the little 4 pins cable on my test rig. As it is rooted directly to USB that's maybe one of the reasons my test 4.1 is behaving well.
hello, this is interesting and maybe the solution to my current problems with BT in 11.5.1 as previously reported in this thread.
would either of you mind to share some more insights on where is the USB port you are referring to located? Is your internal hub plugged to one of the external USB 2.0 ports or is there an internal USB for such purposes somewhere on the backboard? Or do you have the port available on a pcie card internally?
thanks!
So to clarify a bit, I'm using a PCIe riser with a USB cable routed to the rear to attain Bluetooth. This is unlike the more commonly used solution of replacing the internal Wireless card and relying on the USB rails provided by the MacPro3,1's mPCIe slot
This is a bit more cumbersome as I route the Bluetooth USB cable to the rear, however I'm easily able to add a USB 2.0 hub forcing the EHCI controller on instead of the default OHCI used with USB 1.1 devices.
Thx, makes sense!
Just did a cold boot for an updated report with 100/20.
btw.: Using martins config, just adding in latebloom...

I've lost the knack - cold boot, warm boot from 150 - 250. Nothing, always hangs except for one cold boot.
Running Catalina for now.
This used to work like a charm. Weird.
Running Catalina for now.
This used to work like a charm. Weird.
The patched versions of the installers on OpenCore are counterproductive, as:
- they contain modified system files,
- OpenCore does its best at keeping the original system intact and therefore expects original system files.
This is the whole idea behind OpenCore - it boots a genuine, unmodified installer.
While OCLP does include some patched or added files in some configurations, they are handled in an orchestrated way. A regular, fairly contemporarily upgraded OpenCore Mac Pro will not need any patched OS, as this is managed by OpenCore. I do not see any point in installing a pre-patched installation into a OC-booted (read: "patched") computer, apart from cases of missing drivers for older GPUs, wifi or sound controllers in iMacs or some. Most of this is handled by OC anyway.
Just Luck?
My experience with the race condition has recently taken a surprising turn for the better.
About a week ago I installed macOS 11.5. After backing up my data, I used a bootable 11.5 installer to reformat all the disks in my machine as APFS. The disks were originally formatted as APFS in Mojave, but because the file system has changed a lot since Mojave, a complete reformatting was definitely in order. I made sure to erase the physical disks (not the containers or volumes).
I proceeded with the installation of macOS on my freshly reformatted PCIe AHCI drive. The installation did hang once. No surprise there.
In the days that followed, I tested countless warm and cold boots in no particular order. Not one hang. This was a big surprise. Although Latebloom has recently greatly improved my previously abysmal success rate, never have I enjoyed such flawless success post 11.2.3. I initially kept the same parameter values as previously reported (100/-/1), but later I simply used the default values (no boot args). No hanging whatsoever.
When macOS 11.5.1 came out, I updated. Although the update resulted in two hangs, every warm and cold boot thereafter has again been successful.
My success seems to be due to a combination of the following factors:
Regarding 5: The possibility that the SPI flash has an effect on the race condition has been brought up before. Although Matt-card users still experience the race condition, I wonder if the change of flash could not have helped. The original IC in my machine is an SST25VF032B; the chip on the Matt card is an MX25L3205D.

With the intention of ramping up my testing (which might stress the SPI flash), I installed a Matt card (to which I flashed my @tsialex-reconstructed bootROM). I have been ready for some time now to replace my machine's flash, but a Matt card is just so much easier and preserves whatever life the original chip has left.I proceeded with the installation of macOS on my freshly reformatted PCIe AHCI drive.

Well, this is surreal. I have a vanilla/unpatched install of macOS 11.5.1 (Big Sur) running in Parallels 16 on an OCLP-patched cMP5,1 running Catalina. No Latebloom or anything. This is odd, because Parallels makes a better Mac than Apple do, apparently...
A MATT card is completely innocuous to this issue, with or without it my KPs are fairly the same. Besides that, I have backplanes that I've replaced the SST25VF032B with MX253206E and the kernel panics didn't get better or worse. A NVRAM volume with issues will give a lot of headache, but not the model of SPI flash memory.
Btw, you still have a hub connected to the AirPort Extreme USB lines, no? This has a lot of implications, since you won't have the OHCI issues that almost everyone else have with Big Sur.

So? I was unable to update a Parallels 11.2.3 VM to 11.3 and was forced to install 11.3 to a new VM from scratch. As a matter of fact, the failed update experience was uncannily similar to the update on a physical Mac Pro 5,1. I don’t think your assessment is backed by sufficient data. At the very least, it doesn’t compare favorably with my experience.
Indeed. It's certainly a welcomed consequence of a questionably useful mod for connecting USB 2.0 to the Titan-Ridge card!
This is also my current solution. I also have Monterey running as a VM. It also works on Mojave

I asked recently in a post if a change in the version of APFS might be the difference here. Thinking more broadly, could Apple have made other subtle/obtuse change to other partition format types - i.e. FAT (for EFI) or HFS+ for legacy systems and spinners - or to the way macOS reads/writes/interacts with these, that has created or exacerbated the race condition. Does the new T2 chip on the more recent Macs have special requirements that may have forced changes to the way macOS interacts with or navigates partitions? How does one tell which version of APFS is being used (is the partition identifier still
7C3457EF-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC? I have no knowledge of these things but hoping my pondering questions might help lead to discoveries by those who do.Find my Latebloom test report below. I settled on these values (125/25/1) after testing Martin's OC 0.7.1 package with macOS 11.4 and 11.5.1 using a stripped down cMP system (only the RX580, NMVe PCIe Card with macOS, and one 2.5" SSD with OC and nothing else on it).
During the tests I used a wide range of Latebloom values (from 15/5/1 to 250/50/1). Boot success rate during the all tests was very high -- only 2 hags out 20 cold/warm boots with 11.4 and 3 hangs out 20 cold/warm boots with 11.5.1. And the few hangs were mainly due to very low Latebloom values. I did have issues with BT not showing up after the majority of boots (as previously reported in this thread.)
I then proceeded to put back all PCIe cards, HDDs/SSDs in bays 1-3, as well as one external USB 3.0 hub. The detailed report pasted below shows my system as currently running. I have not had issues with BT since installing back all other PCIe cards, HDDs/SSDs, and USB 3.0 hub. Not sure, but I wonder if the USB 3.0 PCIe card and/or external USB 3,0 hub helped with the BT issue.
Thanks again @Syncretic for keeping our cMPs alive and healthy! ?

Speed: 1333 MHzAfter my last failure, I gave up for a bit. Catalina worked with and without OC. I polished up Mojave updating everything and it works very nicely. But a few apps only work with Catalina. So I booted into that, all was fine. Then it stopped booting!!!
I ended up reinstalling Catalina and updating. After that Big Sur booted and with some restarts I was able to update to 11.5.1.
Magic...
It's almost frightening how well this runs right now. But I don't trust it.
Mojave, don't leave your cMP without it.
Mojave, don't leave your cMP without it.
Used the nightly build of OCLP 0.2.4 to inject latebloom. 250/1/1 had some hangs, but 150/20/1 appears stable.

You shouldn't. I installed both 11.5 and 11.5.1. In both cases installations were successful with only one hand for each. Initially booting and rebooting 11.5 and 11.5.1 worked like a charm I went through some 30 odd reboots (most of them cold) without a hitch. Then out of the blue all boots started to hand, one after the other. I tried various latebloom values which seemed to work at first but after a while all of them ended up hanging.
