Hello. Following a video on YouTube i get to the part with opencore config and when i mount the EFI partition there is no NvVars file.. Not sure what to do.

I just copied the EFI directory and it worked fine

[superderpbro]

Hmm, I tried with just the folder. Now im at the serial number check part and it said it couldnt check (I forget why). It wont let me check again. Says "Try later"

[superderpbro]

Finnally got it "working." Installed Blue Bubbles, restarted the VM, and now it pegs the CPU to 100% and just sits on the black boot screen with the white apple, for hours.

 

Edit: ran the script thing and its booting now

I would like say, like many others, that the work on Macinabox is basically amazing. Thank you so much!

 

I would also like to add that for those working with GPU pass through, it is worthwhile to know a bit of how OpenCore works, particularly about which GPU are supported, and whether any changes in the boot arguments are needed. For example, though I am still in the middle of my setup, I know it will be important to add "agdpmod=pikera" to my boot args in the OpenCore config.plist to get my RX 5500 XT card to display properly.

 

Running Mac OS virtually is still a hackintosh, just an easier virtual hardware profile. But pass through devices have to be specifically supported, or no amount of xml changes will help you get them working. Your Nvidia cards will never work on Mac OS Mojave or newer... (as much as I would like them to)

Thank you @SpaceInvaderOnefor the updated Macinabox! I've been a long fan and been using Macinabox since it came out!

 

Prior to the new version, I had accidentally destroyed my Mojave disk by breaking the EFI partition. With the new Macinabox release, I decided to go Monterey as my work MBP is using that.

 

With the similar working configuration (Mojave) for Monterey and passthrough the GPU (Sapphire Pulse RX580) and USB3 controller, I am not able to get any display to show up. When I use VNC, I can control the keyboard and mouse which is connected to the USB3 controller so I know that passthrough for USB worked.

I was wondering if anyone else ran into the no display issue, I found 2 suggestions by doing some research on my end

1. Add `agdpmod=pikera` to the NVRAM boot-args and that didn't work for me
2. Use the display port instead of the HDMI port on the GPU which I can't because I don't have a 40m DP cable.

Below is my yml for reference, thank you in advance!

I've spun up a new Big Sur VM but I'm having trouble putting in my iCloud password. They keyboard is set to US but when I go to type in the password it's like it changes the keyboard layout to Greek or something. I go to Spotlight and it's all Greek characters. When I cancel out of putting in my iCloud account the keyboard returns to normal. What is going on?

I've even passed a real Apple keyboard through the the VM and when I go to enter my iCloud password the key mapping gets screwed so I can never get logged in.

Hello all,

I successfully installed macinabox on my system yesterday. Many thanks to @ SpaceInvaderOne for the great work. Since I am currently running a Unraid server with Intel iGPU only, I am currently thinking about getting a small graphics card for the macOS VM. Due to the poor graphics performance, the VM is currently unusable.

Can you recommend a "cheap" graphics card?
Do I have to use a HDMI dongle if I want to run the VM headless with gpu passthrough? There is no monitor connected to my Unraid server. Later I want to access the VM via AnyDesk.

rx 550 if you can find one. I used the cheap Dell OEM rx 550 and it worked great.

[Cliff]

I have been trying to install monterey three times now but it never works, btw should the part where you run the userscripts complete in a few seconds ?. After I start the vm I can only chose from base system, uefi.., reset nvram and after selection the first option the vm just rebots back to the same menu

 

[Draconicwraith]

I followed your video exactly, but I am running into an issue.  The VM does not show up after I run the scripts.  Everything says it was successful, but no matter what I do, I cannot get the VM to show up.  What can I do?

[Cliff]

I tried installing both Monterey and big sur with the same result where the userscript completes directly after running and the vm is unable to install.

But I checked the log from the macinabox app when running and noticed that it says it has only downloaded ~2500bytes

and I am guessing that this is the problem ?

 

continuing
I am going to download the BigSur recovery media. Please be patient!

Hi all,

 

First at all, thanks for macinabox, it is just owesome.

I hope someone could help me, I am completely blocked how to get my AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 working on my MacOS Monterey VM. 

If I select the graphics on VNC, the VM works perfectly. However, when I select a dedicated GPU (AMD Radeon PRO WX 5100)  I get blocked in the TIANO CORE (Start PXE over IPv4). Mayme mention that the GPU works fine with a Debian VM. I paste my xml  and looking forward to getting some help here. Thanks in advance

Hi Sorry to sound like a numpty

I followed the video guide ran the user scripts left everything as set in the template and got this error message when when I went to run the VM for the first time. I have not edited the xml etc.  I am trying to install Monterey onto the server so I can see if it will run the  version of Filemaker I have before I update my MacBook Pro. I do not know much about editing code so please be gentle on me.

Thank in Advance 
  Martin

So I don't use Macinabox but it seems that the custom ovmf file is missing off your drive. I can't tell you if it is just that it never copied or has ended up in a different location.
You could just see if it is somewhere under your appdata/Macinabox folder or just download it.

https://github.com/SpaceinvaderOne/Macinabox/tree/master/ovmf

The location specified in the VM configuration has to match the location it is stored on your drive and you should be good to go.

No matter what I try I only get three options when starting my vm, macOS Base system, uefi shell and reset nvram. And every time I select the first options I get a logo and progressbar for a couple of seconds then it just reboots back to the first screen with the three options again. Does any one know how to solve this ?

Did you have to do anything special to get the passthrought videocard rx 570 working ? I am blocked with the pro wx 5100z

So I don't use Macinabox but it seems that the custom ovmf file is missing off your drive. I can't tell you if it is just that it never copied or has ended up in a different location.
You could just see if it is somewhere under your appdata/Macinabox folder or just download it.

https://github.com/SpaceinvaderOne/Macinabox/tree/master/ovmf

The location specified in the VM configuration has to match the location it is stored on your drive and you should be good to go.

Hi Thank you for the info I will see if it downloaded and then let you. Know how it goes

Well, thanks to your post I re-started the process. But this time I did not activate any USB and just the GPU. In fact,  now the GPU works and I can see the boot menu to select the disk but as I don’t have keyboard or mouse I can not move forward.  If I try to add either the USB or a USB pcie card, then I just get the black screen.   

 

I will keep you posted if I find the reason.

Thanks, in fact I did.   Great post btw.

 

But my issue was that I was activating the GPU and the Keyboard/mouse USB at the same time.  Now I retried just with the GPU and it works fine. But I don’t know why a normal usb  keyboard blocks the boot

You should be able to pass through a PCIe USB card pretty easily as long as you stub the card and assign it to the VM. My actual config is included below.

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0b' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <alias name='FL1100 USB Card'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x05' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
