This may be a problem only in my environment. I use a USB disk to boot my Mac and adjust the Latebloom.
When I do a reboot command on a Mac booted with a USB disk and then boot the Mac again with the USB disk, I sometimes can't find OpenCore, which should be in the EFI volume. I'm specifying the disk number correctly. In that EFI volume/folder, there is an "APPLE" folder instead of an OC folder. Could this be the reason why Mac fails to start on reboot?

ZNDK,

When I boot OpenCore I use a USB stick and boot using the Option key to get the stock Apple picker menu and boot from the USB stick. I then get the OpenCore boot picker and can boot Big Sur (or Catalina with some edits to the config.plist).

This always works fine for me - I am not sure I understand what you mean by "specifying the disk number correctly".

Examples:
  • lbloom=90,20,1: delay of 90, range of 20 (70..110), debug on.

Presumably lbloom=90,20 will use the default debug state of "OFF" or does that need to be lbloom=90,20, (trailing comma)?

Correct, lbloom=90,20 will use the default debug state of "OFF":

Syncretic said:
As with the previous versions, the boot-args parser isn't very smart, so the values for delay/range/debug must all be decimal, maximum 4 digits. Any argument that's missing is presumed to be 0. Any parse error (such as a non-numeric typo) will cause all subsequent arguments to be set to 0.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Was actually more concerned about whether a trailing comma was a requirement as an absence could, depending on parsing requirements, invalidate the preceding "20" and set this to zero. Good to know it doesn't matter. I suspect having the trailing comma might be generally more resilient to code updates though ... in which case might as well add the last item!

Yeah, after pointing out how lame the parser is, I probably should have made the "trailing commas are optional" part clearer. You're right, though - if I ever manage to reliably detect warm/cold boots, the secondary delay/range will be tacked on to the end of that string (e.g. lbloom=200,20,1,100,10 or similar).

(For clarity: missing trailing commas are not considered errors; actual parser errors will affect the current and subsequent arguments, not any preceding arguments. Thus, lbloom=200,20,x1 would only set the debug argument to 0, while lbloom=200,x20,1 would set both the range and debug to 0, and lbloom=x200,20,1 would set all three to 0, which would completely disable latebloom.)

Speaking of cold/warm boots - I've reached the point where I'm reasonably sure that during early boot, MacOS cannot distinguish between cold/warm boots. The utmpx mechanism isn't accessible until later (and even that is imperfect). I've never looked at the source code to OpenCore - if any OC developers are reading this, can you offer any insights? Can OpenCore detect a warm/cold boot? And if it can, does it propagate that information (presumably via (pseudo-)NVRAM or some property in the DeviceTree) on to MacOS?

I am getting a 4,1 in about a week. I will probably be keeping it at 4,1 because of the slower RAM and CPUs that I have. Can always up the firmware later.

MP3,1 - OCLP 0.24 - BS 11.4 - latebloom 0.20

no latebloom hooks in log but visible in verbose text (same "problem" as with earlier OCLP versions).

Rolled back to Latebloom 0.19, same log issue. No big thing, just an oddity.

4,1 non flashed data is quite rare, it's actually worth gathering a few results to better understand whether the 5,1 firmware affects how the device tree may be built/processed and affect the boot delay. I personally have my doubts that it would affect much however more data is always good

On a related note, I actually just bought a MacPro4,1 as well haha. I got El Capitan installed and will be attempting to get Monterey on her in an hour with OCLP

As long as you dont upgrade the processors (or keep a Tray with the original cpu). You can switch back and forth 4.1 / 5.1 firmware. Just dump the rom with Flashrom, Dosdude’s or my tool.

forums.macrumors.com

SOLVED Opencore on MacPro 5,1 after NVRAM reset

you can try my dumper/analyzer. Also it has a tool for checking an already made dump (test_nvram). https://www.dropbox.com/s/jh4unzd7gd4n5me/Macschrauber%27s%20CMP%20Rom%20Dump.dmg?dl=0
forums.macrumors.com forums.macrumors.com

As long as you have not upgraded processor(s) you can flash back the 4,1 firmware with Flashrom/Romtool.

btw I flashed a very ancient 5,1 Firmware some weeks ago and it made no impact on the situation.

forums.macrumors.com

Mac OS 11.3 has broken support for older Mac Pros

I guess it's not boot rom related. as @Dayo suggested I flashed the oldest Firmware 007F.B03 from about 2010 without APFS and NVMe support. Added APFS Efi driver to RefindPlus and booted Big Sur with the alternative APFS Driver. Same symptom for me. Boots fine with old firmware but hang with...

This always works fine for me - I am not sure I understand what you mean by "specifying the disk number correctly".
Click to expand...
Disk Number stands for DiskX(s1). The EFI volume I use for OC has a different size capacity than the others, so I can clearly distinguish the difference. So What I'm trying to say is that I'm specifying a boot EFI volume (OC installed) for sure. *I have installed OC in the HDD section that makes up the Fusion Drive.
I find it odd that the disk number in the EFI volume of the OC is different when booting the Mac with a FD than when booting with a USB disk. I think this is a lack of knowledge on my part. But I find it very strange that I can't find the EFI volume where the OC is installed.



I'm experiencing a strange phenomenon apart from that. It's still about restart(warm boot). I have never had a successful reboot(warm boot) using Latebloom. There are two patterns to it.
The first is that the progress bar stops progressing within a few percent. The second is a non-bootable icon (a circle with a diagonal line). In the first pattern, I just need to cold start my Mac, which is not a problem. The problem is the second pattern. When I get this, I can't start my Mac after that, even with cold start (same behavior as the first pattern). The solution to this is to readjust the value of latebloom in config.plist.

My analysis of the APFS kext continues. Since the problem surfaced in 11.3, I have focused on differences/things that changed from 11.2.3 to 11.3, since those are the most likely sources of the problem. The one thing that haunts me is that the bug may not be new - it's entirely possible that this race condition has existed for a long time (possibly years), but until 11.3, the race was always "won" by the correct piece(s) of code. If that's the case, a differential analysis won't reveal the bug, and the change in timing could be so subtle as to not be recognizable. Down that road lies a lot of wasted time. (I'm still hoping that's not the case.)
Click to expand...
Pre macOS 11.3, I have noticed a random "race condition" where the system would spew a bunch of numbers from WiFi and/or Bluetooth and then it would late go into a loop with "FireWire GUID <ptr> is missing!' It would run this infinitely and never get to the login screen. If verbose is off, the progress bar would simply fill up to 100 percent and do nothing. This still occurs sometimes after 11.3.

Another thing I have seen 11.3 and after is getting stuck at this "Crypto..." place. During this same time it seems to try to get USBHID and BCM's Bluetooth started. Since I upgraded to an Intel Wireless card, in Monterey beta 2 and 3 where I have Intel Wireless working, I am getting less locks at the "Crypto..." spot. In beta 4, I got more locks but I also do not have BT working on beta 4 yet. So possibly the issue is with USB and/or Bluetooth for that lock. And since Monterey, I have to use a USB 2.0 hub to use Keyboards, and Trackpads, even Apple's via a USB 2.0 port. Direct connections do not work.

I am happy to get BT working in beta 2 and beta 3. I would like to get a Broadcom card working but at this time, I don't want to mod the cards. I will probably just get more Lenovo PCIe cards and do the same USB rerouting from that card.

Your hunch on apfs.kext is interesting and I hope that leads to something.

You probably have not noticed that thereare no profiles of 4,1 Macs with latebloom arguments. They are all 4,1s with upgraded firmware to 5,1s. I am will be keeping this machines as a 4,1 for the time being and this will have tests ran as a 4,1.

I am getting mixed results in my 3,1. Could be with it being jammed full. I get stopped at Cryptoalloc… a lot. If it gets past that then it’s usually usually home free. Beta 4 of Monterey has been the most difficult to boot, and I also do not have BT working on b4.

There aren't early-2009s still with MP4,1 firmwares basically because of the inherent problems of the MP4,1 series of firmwares, listing from memory and probably forgetting lot's of minor issues:

  • Leopard to El Capitan official macOS support
  • obscene amount of security issues, microcode and EFI related
  • lot's of little nags, like BootPicker not working when connected to a non-DHCP Ethernet network - this one was particularly an issue with audio engineers and DAW controllers.
  • No native APFS/NVMe support
  • only Nehalem family of processors are supported
  • only 800 and 1066MHz memory are supported, extremely poor support of 4xR4 DIMMs (recent 14x.0.0.0.0 releases at least have some sort of support for quad bank DIMMs)
  • all non Apple OEM PCIe cards configured as PCIe v1.0 as default, exactly like on MP3,1.

It's interesting to test an early-2009 with latebloom and you can overcome lot's of it's issues, but it's not really practical to use one as a main Mac.

@Syncretic is it possible to format the kext zip file similar to Acidanthera format? Latebloom-0.19-RELEASE.zip and Latebloom-0.19-DEBUG.zip, ideally, you should have a Github repo to make available the releases and keep track of all changes.

Edit: I added Latebloom support into OC Plistlib Generator, see #111 and #112. I had to format Latebloom the zip file as it was not properly formatted for some reason (see command used into PR). I also updated the documentation. If you want, I can give you contributor access to repo so you can upload the new releases.

I stated earlier that I have slower RAM and CPUs for a 4,1 (not a 5,1). I may choose to upgrade it later to a 5,1 and upgrades its RAM and CPUs / firmware later but not at this time. I have 3 supported Macs in my Mac Lab and will have five unsupported Macs soon. None of the unsupported Macs are my main machine. The majority of my supported boxes are for testing BigMac2. And lately have been testing BM2 with OCLP.

I've been getting more locks lately around CrytoAlloc... It's also the same spot where APFS and USBHID takes place. Tried all sorts of numbers running Open Core and haven't found a good combination lately. Getting past CrpytoAlloc takes patience.

Shouldn't this be a PM? I am not sure how this specific request and update of yours relates to the testing going on in this thread. The naming convention of the zip file does not affect our testing for the time being.

No, this is public information, directed at developer's product as well their users. If this thread is only for testing reports, what thread should we use for software related questions? That's the only thread I found where Latebloom is published.

Had a real devil of a time with the 11.5.1 upgrade from 11.3, but it finally went through. Took quite a number of restarts (I think it was 4, but I lost count due to the stress level; also the "nightly" version of OCLP for some reason did not adjust the actual timeout properly to 250 at first and I had to force a recent TUI artifact version vs the previous that wasn't updated properly so after I caught and fixed that the system actually made it through). Having this first experience from update to first real boot was a real white knuckle experience since there were different hangs that ranged from the corrupted graphics boot after hung verbose text, pure hung verbose text with no reboot indicator to then seemingly a graphical hang that turned out just the update process needing to sit there for a very long time. I think sanity has finally returned to me, but it like I said, the bones protruding from my knuckles are starting to heal... ?
