Is there a terminal method or something to dig deeper into why the otherwise dead-and-gone Cat2 still appears at the boot screen(s)? As you see, nothing gives it away in the diskutil list results.

It's on one of your APFS volumes.
Code: 
diskutil list
diskutil apfs list
curl -L https://gist.github.com/joevt/6d7a0ede45106345a39bdfa0ac10ffd6/raw -o ~/Downloads/DiskUtil.sh
source ~/Downloads/DiskUtil.sh
mountEFIpartitions
mountRecoveryHDpartitions
mountRecoveryPartitions
mountPrebootPartitions
mount
find /System/Volumes /Volumes -maxdepth 2 -name '*-*-*-*-*' -type d
dumpAllDiskLabels > ~/AllDiskLabels.txt
cat ~/AllDiskLabels.txt

Okay, I put all this into Terminal and got the following in the screenshot. Not sure what I'm looking at, or what to do. I don't see anything called Cat2, but I suppose by deduction, it might be one of the things right there in front of me. The "AllDiskLabels.txt" file was zero bytes.

In the EFI volume, what can be gleaned from the timestamped Opencore .txt files? Is that the verbose stuff that scrolls down the screen if verbose logging is turned on in OC app?

The second command is supposed to be diskutil apfs list. I've corrected it in my previous post.
You need to enter your password to finish the other commands.

When you see a bunch of text output, it's better to put the text in a text file and post that so there's no limit to what can be seen and the text can be searched and edited. Add the text file as an attachment or paste it into your post surrounded by [code] and [/code] tags to maintain the monospaced character alignment and spacing.

Anyway, from the output so far, we see that your Preboot and Recovery volumes have 8 items which means you've had 8 system volumes on your disk. Obviously they all don't still exist. We'll need the output from diskutil apfs list to see what's up and figure out which can be removed.

I see disk1s8 didn't get mounted by the mount commands. You can mount it manually with diskutil mount disk1s8. Do that before executing all the other commands. The result of the mount command will tell you where disk1s8 is mounted (the mountpoint). Add the path of the mountpoint to the open command to open the mountpoint in the Finder so you can see the contents.

Hi all,
I'm experiencing an USB problem on a MacPro 3.1 with a clean installation of Catalina by dosdude1.
Some devices connected to the USB in the back panel are missing. This is basically my USB sound card and a the USB dongles for some software.
The system info shows the devices correctly, but they simply are not working.
Is this a known behavior?
The sound card is not self powered, so I want to think that is not a power problem.

Thanks for your advices.

For next time, use [code] instead of [icode] for multi line text output.
Need output from diskutil apfs list
The RE error has something to do with Mojave using bash instead of zsh. I'll try to fix that but I don't think you need to rerun the dumpAllDiskLabels command. There should be a ~/AllDiskLabels.txt file that was created. Attach that also.

Here is the AllDiskLabels file from just now. I see how it finally dredged up Cat2. Where does this lead us now?

All things Catalina are free to be dumped.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I completely agree most people would be fine with it. I'm saying I don't think the upgrade from a 2.26 processor to a 3.06 processor was worth the time or effort. I can't think of anything that would need the processor upgrade that wouldn't still work without it.

Hope you all had a silent time to relax!

Found my single test system with Catalina installed and updated to the latest official security update using OCLP 0.3.2 and the VMware settings applied (Kernel->Emulate>CpuidData and CpuidMask). Is it still works pretty well :)

I have one of these packed up in its box in my closet. Do you have any good use case suggestions? I tried to run SecuritySpy previously (to set up dedicated headless Server for it), but it couldn't keep up with my cameras (4x720p + 4x1080p, all h.264.). I couldn't think of any other usefulness for it for me, outside of test device/monkey-around/surfing/email/etc...

Pasting in a text editor from the Terminal.app is weird. You need to replace occurrences of 3 consecutive line feeds with a single linefeed.
I don't have that problem using BBEdit.app instead of TextEdit.app.

Anyway, it seems to me that you have the following situation:
Code:

Keep (do not delete):
Mojave                  /Volumes/Preboot/4E24D9D2-F69B-43C2-91F4-A33973FB25B3 (10.14.6)
                        /Volumes/Recovery/4E24D9D2-F69B-43C2-91F4-A33973FB25B3 ?
Big Sur - Data          /Volumes/Preboot/540C78C9-3C4F-4E7A-8AB4-6ED95CC1C121 (10.13.6)
                        /Volumes/Recovery/540C78C9-3C4F-4E7A-8AB4-6ED95CC1C121 (11.6.2)
High Sierra             /Volumes/Preboot/7A137C6B-FBCB-4479-8CC6-2F65742AC6B6 (10.13.6)
                        /Volumes/Recovery/7A137C6B-FBCB-4479-8CC6-2F65742AC6B6 (10.13.6)

So you probably want to delete the first list of folders.
But before you do that, can you boot Big Sur and get a new list from diskutil list and diskutil apfs list?
Mojave is unable to see the disk1s8 partition which might be the Big Sur system volume?
And I'm not sure why there's no disk1s6 or disk1s7? Maybe you deleted them but haven't restarted yet?

You cited the one task for which it is not well-suited. Transcoding and compiling are completed accurately if not in a rush. Photo editing, page layout and large document handling are no problem. Minis make handy headless servers. There are four Mini3,1, two iMacs, a MacBook, one iPad on a APBS network with one Mini as the printer server for two Canon printers. File, printer and screen-sharing throughout. This particular Mini displays to a 46” 120 Hz LED TV at 1080P via MDP>HDMI/DVI on macOS 12.2b1 and it’s beautiful. 6GB RAM and SSD is a minimum req. Every OS ever published by Apple runs competently given the real-world limits of the hardware. @dosdude1, @ASentientBot and Dortania make it possible. :cool:

Your 2011 system crashes on wake? Check if the HD3000 drivers have been installed properly.

Thanks for the quick reply! I guess there is not. But how to check for? Hackintool?
Within Hackintool there is an generic entry for the display. I would check this with IORegistryExplorer…

Search /System/Library/Extensions for any files containing the HD3000 and SNB strings, normally the patcher should have added them.
In case they are missing rerun the post install patcher tool.

Sorry for this awkward question, but which post install patcher do you mean?! I used to use the OCLP post install... But there is some post install patcher within the tools of dosdude. As i understand correctly i need to load WEG and Lilu according to set the framebuffer and connectors in good manner?! (source dorthania)

Do not mix patcher methods - it will create a real mess.

Have never used OCLP with Catalin and systems needing post-install-pacthing. So my experience is limited there.
Have you applied the OCLP post install patches?

To get this working you need to enable it on Catalina through
5. Patcher Settings
7. Allow Accel on Mojave/Catalina: Currently False

Then go back, create and install the newly configured OC, reboot and rerun OCLP with option #3.

Thanks for taking time. With OCLP 0.3.3 the post install throws back an failure - "there is nothing to patch" (BigSur and above...) With the OCLP GUI edition i could use the Post Install option… But to no avail.
I guess i need the correct drivers (but where from) or even WEG?!

Hi everyone!
I'm a bit confused regarding the different patching methods. I read on the the OCLP homepage that OCLP can also patch Catalina. So this would be my favourite solution because I could easily install updates. So I tried this and created a 10.15 USB stick installer and patched it with OCLP. But when I was in the installation process, the install was not possible on my machine; obviously the installer was not correctly patched.

Now I'm confused: I had perfect results with Dosdudes catalina patcher and the Dosdude Catalina USB Stick still works great. But while Catalina is mentioned on the OCLP page as a target system, it's not mentioned here in the starting post of the thread.
Is there any possibility to use OCLP to patch Catalina installers? If so, has it any advantages over dosdudes original patcher? What are the options and what ist the correct approach for catalina?

Would you mind to share more information about your own system?

- OCLP is a year old and targets clearly Big Sur and Monterey.
- Catalina is an option for systems with HD5000/HD6000 GPU just because these patches got never into the dosdude1 patcher.
- OCLP does not support Catalina or Mojave officially, so no issues are accepted and no fixes will be offered.
- OCLP works great on systems like iMacs and MacPros modded with Metal GPU and BT/WiFi to avoid any legacy patching (even with Mojave and Catalina)!!
