MP 1,1-5,1 Manually Configured OpenCore on the Mac Pro

[cdf]

Maybe you can pick up on the cause: https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/1064
@Bmju seems to have a knack for badgering them into make changes. Maybe he can pick this up.

I have something in the works regarding SMBIOS properties.

 

[amstel78]

Yes, the wording is ambiguous. Simply adding the word "both" would fix this...

@amstel78, is the 1st stage boot screen missing on a macOS Mojave installation as well? I wonder if it could be macOS-related. Certain versions behave strangely: On the Mac Pro 5,1, I've seen strange things with the 1st stage boot screen in Yosemite, and more recently in Big Sur.

Haven't tried booting Mojave with the MP31 yet, but I'll give it a try later. I have a bootable CCC clone of Mojave for my 5,1 on an external HDD. All I can truly confirm at this point is that my Apple EFI 7950 won't show the 1st stage boot screen in OC. It will show the RefindPlus boot picker as well as the OC boot picker. Taking OC out of the equation, and the 1st stage boot screen is back.

I'm wondering if OC v065 would have similar results. Is it worth trying?

Yes it is worth trying, but at least you know it is related to OC. Is this a configuration issue or coding issue? Seems more like the latter. Have you tried OC without RP?

 

[rippiedoos]

Is there a way to inject DeviceID's into kext with OpenCore or do some other trickery of that sorts?

I want to inject the SmallTree DeviceID into the SonnetTech Intel X520 drivers, because SonnetTech has Big Sur drivers and SmallTree not (yet).

You will have to find the ACPI path, add it to device properties, add device-id property and delete device-id property

Yes, tried OC without RP by replacing the BOOTx64.efi with a stock file from OC v066 and soft blessing only OC. Same result.

That's what I thought but was worth a try either way.

I've turned on debugging but can't seem to find the output log file in any of the EFI directories. I was hoping to generate this before uploading a bug report in GitHub. This is what I have set in OC config.plist:
View attachment 1729012
For target, I used the following:
0x01 - enable logging
0x10 - enable UEFI variable logging
0x40 - enable logging to file

Converting to decimal gives me 81 but can't find the file anywhere. I even went to /var/log to see if perhaps it was placed there, but no luck.

OC boot log shows it's actually logging.
View attachment 1729014

Those are all Apple generated entries, shown in the OC bootlog because /Misc/Debug/AppleDebug=true.

You've probably already set /Misc/Debug/DisplayLevel=2147483714 (= 0x80000042)? (EDIT: Actually, I can see that you have, in your screenshot.) You definitely have set /Misc/Debug/Target to include file output.

The piece of the puzzle I think you might be missing, in order to see more OC log output, is to be using the DEBUG build of OC?

You might be on to something here.

I was thinking that the OC text files located in EFI root can't be the only logs generated when logging is turned on. I was under the assumption that perhaps other logs were being generated somewhere else, but apparently I was mistaken.

So based on what you're saying, perhaps the reason the logs aren't more in-depth is because I'm not running a debug build of OpenCore? Again, I don't know enough about OC's intricacies and nuances to know if what I'm saying is accurate, but I'm slowly learning as I go. And in case I don't say it enough, I am extremely grateful to all who have patiently helped me.

That's right. You can just download the DEBUG build and copy the entire /X64/EFI directory into wherever your OC /EFI folder is now - without deleting anything first. That won't overwrite your config.plist (as the distributions don't have a file there) and should just work, without you having to redo all steps!

Don't get yourself muddled up at this point.

Those logs, if switched using MyBootMgr, are as indepth as you will get from OC as based on debug builds etc.
The app is designed to set things up as needed. There is no action needed on your part.

You are overthinking the whole thing and more likely to stumble the further you continue.
Just pick them up and run with it for your purpose which I believe is to raise a bug report.
If not indepth enough, the developer will let you know.

Fully understood Dayo. I'll create the bug report based on the logs currently generated. Thank you again for your feedback.

Hey Dayo, What your user should attach to send a debug report as advised by you, I do not know, for sure, and I do not want to offer any opinion on!

But I was just responding to @amstel78's message as it appeared in the thread, and I can say that I have run into the problem myself of having an OC log which only shows AAPL: entries (if you have AppleDebug enabled, or even worse is just a bunch of zero bytes if you don't!) and it is what you get if you enable debugging on a RELEASE build of OC. There is no way to see the OC INFO level messages (the normal contents of most of an OC log file) on a RELEASE build (they cannot be enabled). That's all I was pointing out! (This developer focussed info from the main OC doc confirms it: )

 

[Dayo]

I was just responding to amstel78's message as it appeared in the thread

Understood.

Was just letting him know that if he followed the guided steps without trying to modify things manually, he would get things like that taken care of by default.

I suspect that the image with the sparse output was from an attempt to do things manually. Setting things up manually is perfectly fine as long as one knows what to do ... such as making sure it is on a debug build as you pointed out.

The tool he has available but seemed to have not used for some reason (looks like he just entered Target 65 into a release build) takes care of those considerations and was just letting him know that. Also, invariably would have most probably ended up with some hybrid setup that doesn't work on either of the ways.

 

[TECK]

If it works 3 weeks ago, you may downgrade OpenCore back to 0.6.5 to check if that make any difference.

Same thing with OC 0.6.5, there is something strange of Windows 10 not liking the NVMe disk I use (Syba SI-PEX40129 970 EVO Plus). I'm thinking installing it on a regular SSD. Even during Windows usage, I get sometimes a frozen screen and I have to reboot. That's quite messy because I can lose whatever work I'm doing at that time.

I mean, once I boot into Windows, OC becomes non-related IMO. There are many other people who installed Windows and they have no issues at all.

Do you have it set as internal in device properties?

 

[jackfennimore]

This is just for creating Windows PE bootable USB so you can manipulate files on the Windows partition. I believe you can do that with a Linux live USB. The benefit of using Ventoy is that you don"t have to expand the ISO just drop it inside.

i have no idea how to configure Ventoy, or what it is. drop the ISO inside what? do i need a running windows system to build this thing? why can't i get cdf's instructions to work?

 

[amstel78]

I've raised an issue pertaining to no 1st stage boot screen display with UGA video cards in GitHub: https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/1498

You may add that it works in RefindPlus.

 

[MacToby]

Does an unflashed and flashed Mac Pro 5,1 support internet recovery and if so how does it behave with OpenCore? Is macOS Big Sur installed then?

No

 

[MacToby]

No

Are there reasons why not?

 

[Situationen]

I'm seemingly getting kernel panics when trying to boot with OpenCore and SMBIOS info added. Without it (That is, default config file) it boots fine.
Tried VMM on and off, default SMBIOS from page 1, and other boardID (MP 7.1?), with or without Firmware-thingies, no difference.
If I change SMBIOS in any way I seem to get stuck in a boot loop with it crashing. I never even get a picture.

I'm doing this to be able to upgrade to 11.2.1. Weirdly enough I was able to update to 11.1 with older OC and other config. Sadly, those are not available anymore.

It's no big thing, but perhaps you smarter people might be able to see what's wrong
Specs below (this is booting OC with default config)

[h9826790]

Are there reasons why not?

No such thing exist in the cMP's firmware.

 

[cdf]

If I change SMBIOS in any way I seem to get stuck in a boot loop with it crashing. I never even get a picture.

Dual-processor machines need AppleMCEReporterDisabler.

Do you have it set as internal in device properties?

Yes, both NVMe disks are set as internal. On one I run Big Sur and the other Windows 10.

Edit: I just realized you ask me to check if is set as internal in Device Properties. Right now I cannot do anything, the only solution is to re-install Windows. I ordered a 2.5inch SSD, I don't care if is slow, I need a stable Windows environment, tired and having things broken all the time. Windows is terrible, I wish I could never use it but I'm stuck because I have specific programs not available for Mac or Linux (which I mainly use).
