macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

[testheit]

First off, we don’t have updated web drivers for mNvidia yet. This will be days after the GM.

We don’t have the source of the kernel yet. Not until GM.

Prelinkedkernels could have SSE4.2 Kexts inside unless you are rebuilding the Prelinkedkernel and you are sure none of the kexts getting packed has 4.2.

Privateframeworks could also be the culprit.

Apple could also have a simple check abc if it fails, it panic.

What we do know is no Mac on a Core2Duo or MacPro 3,1 has booted to the GUI yet.

If it’s not 4.2 then I think we would have make it by now.

I think I also have to disagree with this opinion. Sure, VM uses it's own drivers, but firstly I have to install them. On the first boot in VM there are no drivers from VM installed. Therefore I get only the basic 1024x... resolution, but I can boot Mojave IN VM WITHOUT SSE4.2 and in that state WITHOUT VM DRIVERS (MBP5,1 C2D).

So I think also, that SEE4.2 isn't necessary for Mojave to boot without kernel panic.

Still messing with a C2D Mac mini but revisited the Mac mini 5,2 AMD Radeon HD 6630M install since I've been reading about AMD concerns. Restarted under Mojave and was greeted with the question of whether or not I wanted to install the drivers for my Epson printer. Downloaded and installed without any problems. Thought I'd try some graphics software. iPastels (updated today) didn't display the color palette correctly and didn't show any crayon strokes. Animated software next. Screenshots of iSnow and Activity Monitor with iSnow running. iSnow ran as well as it does on my G4 Mac mini and under Sierra.

In Parallels you are not running native video drivers. You do not get full graphics acceleration. No metal. It does not read your video card. It only uses 256MB of RAM for Video. You are running Mojave in an Emulated Mode. It's not native by any means.

I have Parallels as well and I know 4.2 is not there but its not using any drivers or frameworks that require it either.

Now if you were using QEMU with KVM which people are running Mojave on Linux, they do get access to the hardware and they are running it with SSE4.2 enabled. So they are running it at a much faster more native speed with access to the video card and hardware which I would call QEMU with KVM and the proper Open Firmware to be more like a real virtual machine with much better access to the hardware.

Again, no patches for open firmware, EFI, SMBIOS are needed with parallels. No special boot arguments are needed. No patches to the installer. It runs straight. Install Parallels tools to get a slight speed bump but no direct access to video with makes it very slow. it is simulating a supported Mac because Mojave much like High Sierra supports it running inside a VM. it's apart of its license.

Parallels is good for testing and its nice the older hardware can run it in this mode. It will never be native on Parallels not until they copy what QEMU and KVM can do.

What Mac model do you have?

i create an new USB Drive and now it works..

after the install i use the macOS Post install and choose my system Mac 8,1

but still i have:

Well my Mac Pro 3,1 with AMD video does not have a kernel panic. It boots to a black screen after the light gray reboot process. I know its the AMD drivers but wanted to see what it would do.
[doublepost=1530225161][/doublepost]Tried this and I know I am not doing this right but here is what happened:

Installed Mojave b2. preboot stage 1 good. booted to black screen.

removed AMD Drivers. rebooted. system auto rebuilt prelinked kernel.

rebooted. Preboot good and fast. Booted to GUI for 1 second with window but then panicked.

Will try the video patches and see if it gets any farther.

It's not actually working. It shows the name of the card but if you open something with opengl it doesn't work.

@dosdude1 bug?

 

[Starplayr]

Oh well. with AMD and no patches, I get a black boot screen. No panic.

If I use the video patches on b2 on dosdude1's patcher. I get a torn boot screen. Then a panic.

Both complete the early boot process.

NTFS drivers load (I have a couple NTFS).
Airport drivers load.
Firewire loads.
Radeon driver loads.
AppleKeyStore has trouble.

Looks good til the 2nd screen.

Let me know if you have any ideas on which Kext's to replace, remove et

Gonna check the logs.

Here is the panic:

Anyone know what com.apple.driver.AppleUpstreamUserClient is?

Have you verified that you're applying the post-install patches to the correct volume (the one you installed Mojave ONTO)?

Have you verified that you're applying the post-install patches to the correct volume (the one you installed Mojave ONTO)?

I chose my Mojave volume. However, I found the issue: I had High Sierra already installed in an APFS container, so I created my Mojave volume in the same APFS container. The com.apple.Boot.plist did not get updated within the Preboot volume in the APFS container. Once I added -no_compat_check there, Mojave booted. For what it's worth, the boot plist DID get updated in the Mojave volume, just not the Preboot volume.

Ah, I didn't even think about checking for that... But the APFS patch should have corrected that, even though unnecessary on native APFS machines.

Unfortunately, the APFS patch was a disabled option with MacBookPro8,2 selected.

I also have an original NVIDiA graphics card. Came with my eightcore. Tried to see if that would get farther. No dice.

romndrv

Setting romndrv=1 allows a native graphics driver (ndrv) to be used even if its creation date is older than a predefined minimum date, which is March 1, 2001. No idea if that is useful.

smbios

Setting smbios=1 enables detailed log messages in the SMBIOS driver. An x86-only argument.

srv

Setting srv=1 indicates a server boot. The kernel may check the value of this variable to alter its behavior. (saw this recently when using Cmd+v+x at boot. tried to get safe boot and verbose but doesn't work. does srv=1 and -v instead.

things like Parallels use this and pretty much enables its emulation mode:
vmmforce

Specifies virtual machine monitor (VMM) features as a logical OR of feature bits. The features so specified are enforced for all virtual machine instances.

I tried it too on MP3,1 with both AMD HD6870 and nVidia GTX680—same result as you. Preboot goes fine and then second progress bar stalls at 2/3rds, goes to gray screen with cursor for 1 second and then black screen for 10 or 15 seconds and then gray KP screen before going into same endless cycle. However, it can boot to recovery disk with no problem and displays regular DU, Install MacOS, etc., functions of recovery boot. What is the key difference between recovery boot and normal boot? My gut says the the recovery boot has only minimum graphics drivers loaded.

Oh well. with AMD and no patches, I get a black boot screen. No panic.

Anyone know what com.apple.driver.AppleUpstreamUserClient is?

The kernel panic log looks the same as mine on my C2D MacBook. I honestly don't think AppleUpstreamUserClient or UserEventAgent are at all relevant. If you turn on keepsyms=1 a bit more information shows up in the panic log and I think you'll see it's all in the kernel.

Here's one of my panic logs:

Interestingly, see the function _hndl_allintrs? Everything below that? Changes every time. Everything above that? Always the same. So I feel that this function (I'm assuming "handle all interrupts") is detecting a CPU interrupt/trap/state of some sort (as you can tell, I don't know this stuff well) and then it's panicking wherever it's at in other code.

Can @dosdude1 or someone else more experienced with low level kernel stuff verify this? To me it seems more like an "event handler" (or the equivalent in kernel speak) rather than a direct result of the stuff before it in the stacktrace.

I also have an original NVIDiA graphics card. Came with my eightcore. Tried to see if that would get farther. No dice.

...

I think that many of the macOS boot flags on that page are out of date.

Something else interesting is the debug ones, documented here. This is from 10.10.5 apparently. Going to try booting with keepsyms=1 debug=0x22 for a start. Anyone else want to test this out? (Many of the options require a second computer for debugging though... no clue how to set that up.)

Unfortunately, the APFS patch was a disabled option with MacBookPro8,2 selected.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the amazing effort with this.

I have got the same issue on a MacBook Air 4,2 where creating the USB and install all went perfectly but using the Post Install utility has the APFS patch option greyed out and unselectable.

After reading your post I am guessing this is why I am unable to boot after running the patch tool, as I also installed directly over my High Sierra APFS container.

How did you manage to patch your plist without the tool to get up and running?

https://superuser.com/questions/255176/is-there-a-list-of-available-boot-args-for-darwin-os-x

I don't think you can use a USB --> serial chip for early XNU boot debug, BUT:

Since the Xserve2,1 = MacPro3,1 nearly perfectly AND has a 16550 serial port (source: https://blog.christophersmart.com/2010/11/19/using-the-serial-port-on-an-apple-xserve/) then we can just do an

"nvram boot-args="debug=0x8 serial=1" //or serial=3 (look at osfmk/i386/i386_init.c from a recent kernel)

and watch the serial console fill with data (at 115200 8N1 i believe)

How is Xserve2,1 coming along? Does anyway have one tested with the mojave patcher? Because since it has the same cpu arch (harpertown) as MacPro3,1 and has a serial port, we can use the serial port on it to dump panic messages.

We would no longer have to fingle with a camera to capture the one second panic message, we could just capture it straight from a serial console.

Xserve2,1 would sure be a great testbed with a pci-e riser for a gpu.

hi there, tried the patched installer on a mid 2010 MBP 17' - without any success. It installed fine, took about 40 minutes on my system with SSD.

Result was after first restart

and after booting in verbose mode i got this

so i guess, it might not work as expected

somehow i wouldnt bet on

• MacBook Pro Mid 2010-Late 2011 (Core i series only) (works perfectly except for UI glitches if you disable the discrete GPU)

Anyway, thank you @dosdude1 for trying to make this work on older unsupported machines.

I chose my Mojave volume. However, I found the issue: I had High Sierra already installed in an APFS container, so I created my Mojave volume in the same APFS container. The com.apple.Boot.plist did not get updated within the Preboot volume in the APFS container. Once I added -no_compat_check there, Mojave booted. For what it's worth, the boot plist DID get updated in the Mojave volume, just not the Preboot volume.

U have now an running system?
My still dosend work :/

Maybe u have some ideas to help.

Long time reader of this thread, first time poster...

First of all, @dosdude1 & @parrotgeek1 you guys rock! really big thanks for doing this for the community! (where is the donate button?? )

i tried to install mojave on my 2011 27 inch iMac and it worked quite well, i did not encounter any major grafic problems and the install was smooth... Except for 1 thing i do not have the possibility to use wifi, for some reason the card is not supported i guess? is there an easy fix for that? (iMac specs are in the pic)

Oh ! Can you tell how did you do that?

 

[soniXx123]

soo after complete new install and change my SSD from APFS to Mac OS Extended I have now an running system.
But now I have 2 questions/problems...

1. many times my system freeze when i use apple apps like preview or something.. anyone have the same?

2. I miss my AMD Radeon HD card and drivers for this?

 

[iApply]

Oh ! Can you tell how did you do that?

Start the machine from the USB stick, Open terminal en type:

csrutil disable (only needed if you did not allready disable SIP)
nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1 -no_compat_check"

Reboot machine

With the USB installer stick? I've my backup on my macbook, no risk for that?

Nope, no risks, i had to do it myself to get Mojave running on the second partition of the iMac...
