david279 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The only thing I can see with your VM is the vmxnet3. I would change that to e1000-82545em. The upload on vmxnet3 has been super slow for some reason. Quote Link to comment

With vmxnet3 I couldn't login in icloud from preference panel (different errors), sometimes working, on reboot sometimes not working. I couldn't login from the browser (tried my main browser firefox, but also apple safari) in icloud and with my developer id (sometimes giving me error related to ssl...). Changing to e1000-82545em solved (at least at the time of writing) these problems: logins successfull both from web browser and preference panel.

What are you using as your usb 3 device? what hubs are present if any? some hubs have 2.0 and 3.0 ports. Quote Link to comment

USB card isolated from Unraid at boot which is passed to the vm. I fiddled with trying to isolate and use ports on different motherboards, but they always seemed finicky and didn't always work reliably (though others have had great success I believe), or required more than what I wanted to deal with. And it was 10x easier to buy a 20 dollar card and pass it through. 1 Quote Link to comment

tpruszin Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Okay now I have a weird problem if anyone has any ideas I can't seem to replicate it ever its "random" as it would seem when I boot into OSX Catalina sometimes finder fails to launch sometimes a reboot fixes this sometimes it takes three or four. I've attached my XML Clover config and boot log if that helps but im kind of stuck I've tried different SMBIOS's and doesn't seem to make it much better either the screenshot is of the failed boot with no Networking or desktop icons either.config.plistCatalinaXML.rtfbootlog.txt bootlog failed.txt Edited October 14, 2019 by tpruszin Quote Link to comment

Thank you. Everything seems to be working fine for now in High Sierra. I also remove the CPU topology when I want to run more than 8 cores in order to get the VM to post. Should I have any more issues, I'll try removing just that argument. I even forgot to change the network adapter and it was left on virtio and Mojave was working fine. I simply am unable to get Mojave to recognize any GPU that I pass through to it. It's okay though. Quote Link to comment

Leoyzen Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) I'm not seeing any proof (via log or effects) Lilu/WEG actually works for my hackintosh(neither blackscreen fix nor acpi rename etc).So there is definately something wrong may related to AMD build or Graphic Version or qemu(most likely WEG not suit for QEMU ACPI I think). Does anyone actually seeing anything useful by using WEG? Edited October 14, 2019 by Leoyzen Quote Link to comment

Does the above pic look right? A lot of things break when that driver loads. Finder won't open, screenshot doesn't work, won't shut down, preferences crashes.

Same as you, never had proof or noticed anything useful for these kexts. Yeah, I can confirm Lilu/WEG not work at all in my hackintosh vm, I just boot direct from disk without QEMU and Lilu/WEG works. So I think it's maybe ACPI or QEMU related problem to avoid Lilu get correct graphic. Lilu/WEG is so important for those who have some problem with Grahpics, though we can use ssdt or clover patch, we lost many features of automatic works maked by WEG. Edit: I found that Lilu didn't work with QEMU/kvm by digging Lilu log and code that Lilu doesn't recognize QEMU pci-bridge vendor-id so it continues then can't get graphic device at all, WEG then not work property. It shocks me because every tutourial told us that it should use Lilu/WEG to help recogenize graphic in kvm but it doesn't work at all!! God damned. I just submit an issue to Lilu developers. Here is link. Edited October 15, 2019 by Leoyzen 1 Quote Link to comment

Leoyzen Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) I compiled a new Lilu and update QEMU vendor-id, then Lilu and WEG work now! You guys can just download this Lilu and using latest WEG from github then WEG will works now in hackintosh VM, no ssdt and no patches any more.Lilu-1.3.8-DEBUG.zip Edit: Lilu master update the code, so wait Lilu 1.3.9 will add QEMU support.

ghost82 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Just a quick question to people running Catalina with macpro7,1: I noticed that in "About this mac" I don't have the memory tab. Do you have it? EDIT: I found that it depends on SMBIOS setting "Platform Feature": default setting 0x22 for MacPro7,1 prevents the memory tab from showing; changing it to 0x18 lets the memory tab appear (memory tab should appear since MacPro7,1 will not have inaccessible/soldered RAM..): I cannot understand the warning, that keeps the "memory misconfiguration" popup appear at every start of the VM. This is the translation: Mac contains 12 memory slots; 4 memory slots are populated by a DDR3 1333 MHz memory module. Warning: On this Mac the installed memory exceeds the maximum supported limit. The Mac will use only a single module until less than 768 Gb of RAM will be installed. However, the MAC is using all the 32 Gb installed (tested with diglloyd tools) --> A nonsense for me....

ghost82 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Memory misconfiguration problem solved! Finally I mapped al the 12 slots and populated all of them with 2 Gb module each. No more warnings and memory tab is ok. PS: remember to assign the same amount of ram both in clover and unraid vm (xml) (the sum of modules set in Clover should reflect the amount of ram assigned to the vm).
