Like @cdf mentioned, as long your disk is bootable, you are fine. However, my preference is to have Mojave installed on an internal SSD installed into SATA Slot 1. That is a key location, vital for having a rescue disk in place to refresh your BootROM (most important) or to boot from an unmodified OS.Both disk must be SSD 2.5?
Could Disk A be HDD 3.5 or USB ... ?
the EFI disk must be internal?
all the time for ever and ever will connected to mac pro 5.1?
Hmmm. You might be onto something, although I remember I used to have two sliders for Energy Saver in Catalina (with OpenCore, of course); I already had Thunderbolt back then. Only yesterday did I notice the "main" slider was gone. I'll look into it and see what happens if I boot Catalina now using the latest OpenCore.You can always boot BS directly with -no_compat_check set and compare the results. But I think it is your titan-ridge which is breaking sleep especially if you have USB device connected to it.
There is only one power slider now in BS.Hmmm.

Ah! That would explain it!There is only one power slider now in BS.
Yes, that concerned me as well the first time I saw the single slider. It does however function as designed, causing both the computer and monitor to sleep at whatever timeout length you specify.Ah! That would explain it!
You need to wait until Parallels updates their Windows drivers so they work correctly in Big Sur. File a bug report.On BS, the Windows version of Calibre ebook management now shows book viewers as completely black panels, no controls or views whatever.
Aha! The missing bit... Thanks, that passed me by, and I shall poke them. However, given that they're now part of OpenText, I have no great hopes for it...You need to wait until Parallels updates their Windows drivers so they work correctly in Big Sur. File a bug report.
Anyone got any advice regarding my issues above please.Hey Guys, Download OCLP 0.17 today to update OC on my late 2012 MBP but after it installed in my EFI i could not boot my mac again, lucky i had an old efi i created with OCLP 0.12 which i put back into the efi folder after booting with it and it works again. Anyone else having issues with this newest update. also noticed the new OCLP installs Open Core 0.6.8
Open an issue on the developers GitHub page if you believe to have found an issue. Since the most recent version is 0.0.18 you may first try this latest and greatest version.Anyone got any advice regarding my issues above please.
On the dev GitHub page I tried but cannot comment on the build or ask anything there, the latest version there is 0.0.17, does not show 0.0.18.Open an issue on the developers GitHub page if you believe to have found an issue.

Honestly this cannot become the "fix my EFI" page for all available sources of OpenCore configurations.
You wanted ans answer so badly (anyone..), now you have it and your are still not satisfied.On the dev GitHub page I tried but cannot comment on the build or ask anything there, the latest version there is 0.0.17, does not show 0.0.18.
Honestly this cannot become the "fix my EFI" page for all available sources of OpenCore configurations. - This comment is a bit harsh given that many are asking questions on here about OC builds and getting help and is this not what the thread is for - OpenCore for Macs!!!! I am not asking to fix my EFI, I am asking if anyone else has tried this and had any similar issues
Well I must say Thank you for the advice about the discord, I have now signed up and posted there for advice and next time don't be a meanieYou wanted ans answer so badly (anyone..), now you have it and your are still not satisfied.
Again:
This is a thread focussing on a certain kind of OpenCore config described in detail on the first post. Most likely for that reason you got no answer on your request.
There is no forum for OCLP here currently set up, the closest might be the Big Sur thread. The developers of OCLP are active on Discord, not here, not on the other thread.
You might try to search the forum list for a better place to post, yourself. Was this too harsh, again?
If you do not get an answer on your first question, do you really believe this "anyone..." posts are helping?
The 0.0.17 has been updated 3 hours ago, it is a moving target.
According to https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/computer-sleep-slider-bar-missing.222369/, this single slider issue predates Big Sur, and seems to have been coded into macOS (Catalina?) as a simplification of energy saving options on certain particular Macs, and the choice of whether one or two sliders were shown depended on the particular Mac model as indicated in the relevant /S/L/E/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/X86PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/MAC_MOTHERBOARD_IDENTIFIER.plist. What I'm wondering now is whether an Mac Pro 5,1 masquerading as an iMac Pro 1,1 should have such options decided by the existing Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94.plist or the non-existent Mac-F221BEC8.plist. If the latter, whatever improvement (if any were feasible) would require the inclusion of such a file. If the former, editing Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94.plist might be needed for said improvement (if feasible at all). I've noticed two keys that might be relevant:There is only one power slider now in BS.
I understand that you are frustrated, but you are forgetting that this is a Mac Pro thread, see the title of the thread and the sub forum you are, while someone here could have tried OC with the same Mac you have, it's not the focus of the thread and you probably could get better help on the MacBook Pro sub forum.On the dev GitHub page I tried but cannot comment on the build or ask anything there, the latest version there is 0.0.17, does not show 0.0.18.

No issues mate. It is all sorted.
