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

[macnrolla]

Also updated to macOS 11.5.2. I use `lbloom=164,0,1` for cold boots. For running upgrades i change the value to `lbloom=82,0,1` before to increase the success rate. It is all not 100%, also a lot of gut feeling or luck, but good enough. Thanks again to @Syncretic for this awesome hack.

@Syncretic If the git repository is available (no pressure), how hard is it to compile the kext? Does anyone know a good introduction? Would like to play around with the range.

Apart from the regular hiccups booting I have to say that Big Sur 11.5.2 is extremely stable on my cMP. It runs more smoothly than Catalina with or without OC, which has occasional nighttime reboots and plenty of BlueTooth disconnects with my Magic Mouse. No such trouble with Big Sur running on OC/latebloom.

update to 11.5.2 was flawless

Are people that have a NVMe over PCIe as a system drive experiencing more problems witht the race condition than people that have their system drive in on of the SATA bays?

It's such a pain that this race condition is an issue for the MacPro 5,1 as even my crappy 2011 i5 Macbook Pro is running Big Sur 11.5.2 just fine with no issues at all.

 

[chrisrm9208]

Apart from the regular hiccups booting I have to say that Big Sur 11.5.2 is extremely stable on my cMP. It runs more smoothly than Catalina with or without OC, which has occasional nighttime reboots and plenty of BlueTooth disconnects with my Magic Mouse. No such trouble with Big Sur running on OC/latebloom.

FWIW, I've had the courage of my convictions to switch to 11.5.2 under OCLP+Latebloom, and just get on with it. I've left the LB settings as 150,20,1and the MP5,1 just runs.

This is a PCIe bus race condition, of course it will be more visible with an additional PCIe card.

 

[fireheadman]

I'll have more to say on this when I get to using latebloom.
I run 2 PCIe cards, 1 for macOS and the other for Windows. Also running a usb3.1 card (sonnett)

It's such a pain that this race condition is an issue for the MacPro 5,1 as even my crappy 2011 i5 Macbook Pro is running Big Sur 11.5.2 just fine with no issues at all.

I have a 4,1->5,1 with dual NVME running off a startech PCIe(1 with Big Sur 11.2.3 on it and one with Windows 10 running). I also have an OWC PCIe with a 500GV SSD (this one has 11.5.2 running). I use latebloom with 200,20,1 -v. If I only have 1 sled tray with an SSD or HD in it no problems with cold boot at all. Works everytime and updated from 11.2.3 through to 11.5.1 and then to 11.5.2 with no issues. As soon as I add more then 1 sled tray, and it doesnt matter which one 11.5.1 boots almost never. I have increased latebloom to 1500,100,1 -v and i always get the disk fail symbol, and irregularly if i leave it for awhile it will boot into 11.5.2 (1 in 20) and it will take anywhere upto an hour for it to finally boot. But if i pull the drives away it goes immediately booting in.

I think i have read, that people have reformatted the drives to APFS from within 11.5.2 and copied the info over again and it fixes this issue? I am unsure as it doesn't seem definitive.

So with yours, do you have any drives in the sled trays. Try removing them and see how your boots go.

Aha.. sorry was not aware that the PCIe bus was the culprit.

 

[LFO8]

I have a 4,1->5,1 with dual NVME running off a startech PCIe(1 with Big Sur 11.2.3 on it and one with Windows 10 running). I also have an OWC PCIe with a 500GV SSD (this one has 11.5.2 running). I use latebloom with 200,20,1 -v. If I only have 1 sled tray with an SSD or HD in it no problems with cold boot at all. Works everytime and updated from 11.2.3 through to 11.5.1 and then to 11.5.2 with no issues. As soon as I add more then 1 sled tray, and it doesnt matter which one 11.5.1 boots almost never. I have increased latebloom to 1500,100,1 -v and i always get the disk fail symbol, and irregularly if i leave it for awhile it will boot into 11.5.2 (1 in 20) and it will take anywhere upto an hour for it to finally boot. But if i pull the drives away it goes immediately booting in.

I think i have read, that people have reformatted the drives to APFS from within 11.5.2 and copied the info over again and it fixes this issue? I am unsure as it doesn't seem definitive.

So with yours, do you have any drives in the sled trays. Try removing them and see how your boots go.

Thank you.

I indeed have all the sleds filled up. Two of them are HDD's for my Time Machine backups, the other two are SSD's; one with Windows 10 and the other Mojave. Big Sur 11.2.3 is on my PCie NVMe drive.

I am seriously contemplating of just reverting to Cataline for my NVMe drive and do away with Big Sur all together. I like Big Sur and 11.2.3 runs fine, but there is the security issue and the issue with higher than 11.2.3 does not look promising for my setup at all. Now and the forseeable future.

Has been working on mine 9 out of 10 times, all SATA and PCIe slots full. Thank you so much glad to see the issue come and finally go @Syncretic

about latebloom check:

guys, the shortened SN like

is discrete, CK means Cork, and the last 3 or 4 characters are the model line.

Thank you @Syncretic and community!

After the first reboot during installation, I had to manually shut down the computer because the startup froze, but after that there were no problems: 15 successful starts out of 15.

OK, I've had Latebloom installed on 7 machines for about 2 weeks now with, overall, pretty good results booting into 11.5.1 (yes, I'll probably update to 11.5.2 prior to the start of the school year). Attached is a screenshot of my current spreadsheet I now use for keeping track of things. I'm only tracking one set of prior Latebloom settings and the current settings, so I know if I'm going in the right direction or not. I had been tracking in better detail on a whiteboard, but Good Samaritans came in and cleaned all the whiteboards in the school. Yeah. They meant well. I did my best to remember what I had up there, but you can see in many places I had to place a '?' for the prior settings. A '-' means I haven't had the new setting long enough to know an answer for that field.

Universal info: All memory is installed according to Apple's guidelines for best performance depending on the number of modules in the box. You'll notice one of the machines is an actual 5,1. It's been no more reliable than the 4,1->5,1 machines. All drives reside on the factory SATA bus. 4,1->5,1 machines have original WiFi/Bluetooth boards (bluetooth still works, WiFi does not, same as under Mojave). A couple machines have WiFi PCIe cards. I originally thought the problems with "Modular 3" were related to the PCIe WiFi card, but it was also the only unit with only 8GB of ram. No Latebloom settings I tried worked well with the 8GB. As soon as I popped in 2 more 2GB modules it became (so far, seemingly) just as reliable as the others. I have a couple machines that appear to boot every single time without failure.

I tried a couple much longer delay settings for the install process. Definitely seemed to help.

Everything was done using OCLP 0.24 and all machines are in verbose mode. I don't know if it's the placebo effect, but I swear they boot slightly more reliably in verbose mode.

I got my Mac Pro 4,1 in last weekend and it is in mint condition and came in the original box.

It will eventually be transitioned to a Mac Pro 5,1 with more components, but for now it will be running 128Gb RAM (the slower 1066 MHz RAM), using RAM from my two 2009 X-serves.

I don't have NVMe's, so will be running SSD's from the SATA bays, they run in RAID0 in each bay using a Startech hard disk size enclosure that can hold two 2.5" SSDs. You don't get the full speed, but copying from SSD to SSD this way whether its a PCIe card or on one of the SATA bays is really fast. I can backup a clean install under 2 minutes to a DMG or another disk.

Will be testing OCLP with BigMac2 with Big Sur and Monterey + Latebloom .020.
Might be awhile before I finish testing. Taking my time with this box. It is gorgeous and also been busy on other stuff.

Will also be doing Broadcom BT4 and Intel BT4 mods with this box. Getting BT4 running reliably in Monterey is one of them most find mods. I have the right stuff where I don't need to do major soldering.

Update:

Ended up going through the myriad of firmware updates to get it to 144.0.0.0 Firmware. With that starting with Mojave, every PCIe slot runs at 5 gt/s with varying widths based on the card.

I did keep my 1066 MhzRam and I did upgrade the processors to 2.9 Mhz 8 core, just the ones I had on hand from my 2009 Serve. Plan to upgrade those later.

After more consideration, it is just best to upgrade a 2009 to a 2012 equiv. I am going to eventually upgrade the RAM and Processors but for now will test it like this.

I've actually gone ahead and attempted in-place 11.5.2 updates on quite a few of these today since I'm sitting around waiting for other computers to finish tasks anyway. Top tip: remember to set your Latebloom delay way, way up for the install process! The machines I've tried so far that have been successful in updating have been with wildly high Latebloom delays; like over 900. Even those needed at least one hard reboot, usually two or more. In a couple cases I've ended up giving up and installing from my newly-built full 11.5.2 installers instead, which worked much more reliably than the in-place updates did through the software update mechanism. Note that at this point I've only tried 5 of the 7 machines.

EDIT: After updating the remaining two, one was a total failure that required me to boot from an 11.5.2 installer and install that way to get things working (I did not erase the drives in these cases; just used a full, bootable, 11.5.2 installer to reinstall the OS); the other one eventually installed the update just through the Software Update mechanism. I tried quite an array of different Latebloom delay settings, with nothing concrete to say other than using a very high delay seemed to help during the installation process (but then, once that's done, these extremely long delay settings are detrimental to normal booting and must be reduced.)

Has been working on mine 9 out of 10 times, all SATA and PCIe slots full. Thank you so much glad to see the issue come and finally go @Syncretic

The "Race Condition" issue is still there but it's much better.

My 3.2Ghz 56GB RAM 8 Core Mac Pro 3,1 and my 8 Core 2.9 GH 128GB RAM Mac Pro 4,1 upgraded to 5,1 both tend to get stopped very frequently on CrpytoAlloc... without or without Latebloom.kext on macOS 11.4, 11.5.1 and 12.0 beta 4. Latebloom seems to help get past this area better.

I am curious if anyone else is getting stopped here and am wondering if certain boot-args contribute to this.

Other things that happen right before this is USB stuff.

If you are not having a stop at all from CyptoAlloc, please post your boot-args. I am interest in see if a boot-arg can contribute to this lock.

Recently, I got a lock mentioning an APFS version and the lock occurred even on Mojave and BigSur loading directly without OCLP on my upgrade Mac Pro 4,1 to 5,1 running 144.0.0.0.0 firmware. Zapping the PRAM cleared this APFS lock on Mojave.

one of my early methods were booting into single user mode, wait 10 seconds and continue.

for me it stops either by crypto or when loading USB Stuff.

More data is always welcome. I don't expect the native 4,1 to behave any differently from a 4,1->5,1 or an actual 5,1, but being wrong is where all the interesting stuff comes from, and where the fun begins. I look forward to hearing your results.

EDIT: @gradyg22 - is your system a 4,1->5,1 or a 5,1? I'd like to put your results in the correct place.

I ended up moving the my Mac Pro 4,1 to 5,1 on 144.0.0.0.0 firmware. However my box is still using 1066 Mhz RAM and 2.9 MHz processors that are basically 2009 bus speeds. currently have 8 cores and 128Gb RAM.

I get stopped on CryptoAlloc a lot on both 3,1 and 5,1 but I can't tell if that is what is causing my lock or if it's USB because USB is displayed right before this.

I'll try to do some more testing. Currently slammed with other work.

I wish I knew more about writing Kext's and I'd love adding some of type of random delay that is not PCIe based.

Another thing I thought about is what is different about the Mac Pro Late 2013 compared to unsupported Macs that have the race condition. Why are the supported 2013 not experiencing a race condition? Is there some type of boot.kext that gets enabled for them?

Also thought about taking a look at Anka Developer VM and see if they are doing anything special for their boot process or if they are adding their own kext to assist with the boot process. My theory is of the various VMs that are out there, why aren't they running into race conditions? I may try spoofing a Mac Book Pro and run Anka VM inside it on a Mac Pro 5,1 and see if the VM has a race condition or not.

I expect that this is already a known factor, but after finding settings I deemed good enough to roll out I cloned a set of SSDs in stand-alone cloner and installed them.

In absolutely identical machines in all other ways, just a difference in SSD brand required a tweak in the Latebloom delay setting. Most of the drives were Silicon Power. A single one happened to be OWC. These are very old BTW, recycled from old 2006 MacBook laptops I had previously upgraded to SSDs for the school. The machine with the OWC drive did not boot reliably at all with the relatively longish delay I had chosen, and required a significantly shorter delay. This may will explain some of the difference I'm seeing on my BYO fusion machines as well, as some of those are built with SP drives, some with OWC.

I've been plagued with these random hangs during boot on my Hackintosh running on a P6T Deluxe V2 + X5675 (with a MacPro 6,1 SMBios - the closest being 5,1, but I need 6,1 to enable handoff).

latebloom definitely helps, thanks a lot for that. I have no actual data but I rarely get stuck for more than 1 or 2 hangs in a row, whereas it would sometimes take 5-6 attempts (not sure as I would give up) to boot without it.

I'm using the 100,0 setting off a Samsung NVMe and it's pretty good.

Some messages I noticed when it crashed:
- Just hangs in random places and displays the forbidden sign after a while (sometimes not)
- Loops on AppleYukon2: 00000000,00000001 Yukon2Power - sk98osx_dnet::waitForPowerState timed out waiting for power change
- Twice the message: Lilu dev: @ found dead pci device GFX0 (only that one once)

When adding nvram-log=1 to the boot-args it would never boot up and I would end of the "!BSD" then "rooting via boot-uuid" error most of the times. Maybe that nvram-log slows the boot sequence so much it triggers something special and makes the race condition happen every time?

Some extra data to explore here, unless my Hackintosh issues are totally unrelated. In saying that, I never had such issues before with Mojave or Catalina. They started appearing in Big Sur (but I never tried Big Sur below 11.4).

HTH.
