Hello ghost,

 

Considering that there’s still no 6700 xt driver is it possible to fool the os and make it think it’s a different gpu, one that is supported? If this is possible please share the method and also it it can harm my gpu. Thanks. 

No, it's not possible. You need a driver to load and there is no driver for that gpu. Spoofing works if the driver lacks the specific model but it works when loaded, and unfortunately that is not the case for the 6700xt.

You need to be patient...there are traces in the code of the 6700xt..sooner or later it will be added, I'm quite sure.

I know I know I have to be patient. It’s just that my Mac Pro died and I’m Macless right now. Will keep my hopes up and checking the betas. Thanks

Think I'm in the same place as you. I am running 11.2.1 - updated today to 11.4 and now I'm in a boot loop.

 

In 11.2 I had adjusted my cores, RAM, and some light edits to allow the iMessage service to work. Believe this was the config.plist. It took me a while to get everything up and running the first time for Big Sur.

 

Now I get a bootloop (but can still boot the old image). I'm new to Hackintosh. Can you give me some more basic steps and info about this new Penryn patch and what else I would need to do to allow the upgrade to be successful?

 

Thanks!

I had 11.2 with GT710 working fine, updated to 11.5 now login screen is not accepting mouse clicks. If I switch to VNC, everything works fine. I am using the same opencore vers as 11.2. I know 11.5 is new but the issue seems really odd. 

Im having an issue where i can get the VM running but when I run the base system it will load a 1/3 of the way then reset back to this screen. ive checked the XML and ran he script provided. just at a loss.

@nug, did you ever get this question answered?

 

Br,

Hi - I am trying to passthrough an amd wx4100 graphics card to my Mac VM, but it always gets stuck on a black screen with one thread max to 100%. The VM works fine with VNC, but when I passthrough a graphics card I get a black screen. I have tried it creating a new Mac VM with my vbios ROM, but it still wouldn't work. I tried the graphics card with a Windows VM and it works fine. I am not really sure whats going wrong as everything worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Have any of you had similar issues when trying to passthrough gpus? Am I not passing through the gpu correctly? Is it because of the gpu's bus? I would really appreciate it if you have any suggestions on how to proceed.

Thanks

 

EDIT:

I got it to work by changing the GPU and audio bus to bus='0x00'. I read somewhere that macOS doesn't like it when you use other buses.

Hello Everyone,

 

Monterey beta 4 came out today. Anyone know if it has 6700 xt drivers?

 

Thanks. 

Hi guys !

Has anyone already installed Snow Leopard?

I use 10.6.8 on a real Mac and I wanted to use on unRAID...

Thanks !

Hi - I was wondering how yall test out your opencore config changes so that you don't run into boot issues if you mess up?

I was able to boot into Macinabox just fine, but when I decided to passthrough a GPU after all setups, I couldn't boot.
Rx580, gigabyte 4gb. I can only get it to show anything if I put a vbios in. 
The procedure:
Passthrough GPU with vbios
Run helper script
Boot
Select "bigsur" drive

get stuck on apple logo til it reboots.

Is there any known fix for this? Should I try a different version like Catalina? Thank you 

are there instructions on how to remove all this ?

 

when i choose to "remove VM and disks" i get :

 

Execution error

Requested operation is not valid: cannot undefine domain with nvram

 

thanks

 

update after googling :

 

virsh undefine --nvram "name of VM" , then i was able to remove VM and disks

Hi,

 I did a quick look to see if this was addressed before but  google did not return any useful info. Is it possible to run the MacOs image from an NVME? I saw spaceinvader's video on running windows from an NVME drive but, well, it was windows and, unless it is already set up for doing so, this would require  come clover/opencore  configuration. Has anybody acheived this? 

Of course if there is a guide somewhere, feel free to link it.

 

thank you in advance for your help.

as far as the nvme controller is compatible with mac os, yes, and there's no difference compared to a win vm.

You may want to use the nvmefix kext to properly apply power values to the nvme if you install mac os on the nvme; otherwise just mount the nvme disk in unassigned device and put the mac os image there (it's not clear if you want to install it on nvme or you want to put an image on the nvme).

I already have it running on unraid, I was planning to mirror the disk image into the nvme drive using dd, I have the controller that can be assigned to the vm and then I will need to tell the vm to use that as the bootable disk.  Well, at least that's the plan .

for the nvmefix to be loaded, do I just need to put it in the kext directory or do I need to add it to the config.plist?

Has anybody figured out how to pass through an intel integrated GPU with the intel GVT-g plugin? A tutorial would be great!

I have a problem with the apple id connection... 

I did regenerate the serial several times and did try different models, but everytime i get the message: communication to service not possible.

Any idea what might help? Thanks in advance!

It was discussed a few pages back.

I tried to search but I didn't found anything. Has anyone been able to passthough an iGPU from intel? everything works fine with a discrete gpu but i would like to try to only work with the iGPU from an intel 6700k so an intel graphics 530, or even having both, a discrete gpu (580 for example) + the iGPU.

Is this possible?

On windows I can passthough the igpu fine without doing anything

Hello everyone, 

 

I was wondering if anyone was successful with getting content caching to work on their VM. 
If found this GitHub that seems to provide a workaround, but not really sure how to apply this change..

Thanks in advance for your time and patience

UPDATE: sorry, this was in some way misleading.

It seems the patch is no longer working from big sur 11.3 beta, and it seems there's no ready workaround possible; see also here:

https://github.com/ofawx/VmAssetCacheEnable/issues/1

 

 

It was discussed here in the forum in the past.

Content caching is enabled (not greyed) in system preferences if the kernel doesn't see the VMM flag in cpu futures.

Easiest way is to apply a kernel patch in the bootloader (opencore): following patch will change the name of the VMM flag (to XXX) and content caching will be enabled.

Add this in the EFI/OC/config.plist

For me, the notification script does not seem to work. Running it as a background task right after finishing up the Docker installation, it tells me that MacOS is ready to install and I shall run the helper script (resulting in an error trying to start the VM).
