Here is the EFI that I made but doesn't work causing a constant boot loop showing the Tiano Core Bios Screen... OpenCoreEFI.zip Now here is where things get interesting... I found this post https://www.nicksherlock.com/2020/04/installing-macos-catalina-on-proxmox-with-opencore/ and used his OpenCore efi file and it actually works, allowing me to select boot of install media. His is a .iso though. It also doesn't really help because its kernal panics while loading the installer in verbose mode and I don't know how to change the files in it besides turning on verbose mode from shell. Will post a xml when I can.

Ok i followed this guide but I get a constant boot loop showing the OVMF bios then black reboot. Never shows the opencore interface. Only part I didn't do is this... since I don't have a vm up yet. "Rename the EFI partition from "NO NAME" to "EFI" From the virtual machine you can mount the new EFI partition and rename it with the command: sudo diskutil rename /dev/disk0s1 "EFI" where disk0s1 is the EFI partition." Any ideas?

Looking for help / guide on how to create a OpenCoreEFI qcow2 or img file that boots. I already have my Efi folder configured and ready. Cheers!

Post your IOMMU groups, I can tell from that which can be passed through.

You don't need a plugin to do it, just add it to the syslinux file. Works with all VM OS's.

For NVME drives that are in their own IOMMU group just add it to the vfio.pci list and check it as a pci devices in VM creation. NVME are really just pcie cards so no need to add them as a drive, Windows will see a pcie drive that it can install on.

I am really frustrated, I am stuck at installer boot. Starting in verbose shows that the installer stops with End RandomSeed +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Oh joy, 2 days gone troubleshooting still a RandomSeed. Note: Using Kubuntu 18.04lts with IOMMU enabled for KVM.

Any difference between using the osk key or using fakesmc.kext in Mojave? Do you need both?

Looks like Mojave now needs +ssse3,+sse4.2 added to the xml as Mojave now uses these instructions that were introduced with Nehalem. Anyone know if +popcnt also needs to be added on all systems or just some, for Mojave to work?

You should think about adding the ability to VNC into a VM from the VM cards in your app. There is a VNC SDK you could use... follow link for more info. https://www.realvnc.com/en/developer/docs/latest/overview.html#evaluating-the-sdk
