Booted by Clover 5144 with ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirk enabled my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh can use brief kernel patches now. Unfortunately three patches changed from 8-cores to 6-cores and booted by Clover 5144 with ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirk enabled my FX-6300 hackintosh can not use brief kernel patches at Big Sur & Catalina, etc. which seems only working at Monterey. I don't know the reason why. [Solved] 1. For those can not be booted by brief kernel patches in my FX-6300 hackintosh due to two reasons: (1) The System Version changed to 10.13.6 instead of 10.15.7 or 11.6.x (2) I need fix one patch's MatchOS to 11.x,12.x config-test.plist.zip config.plist.zip

Are these kernel patches need enabled ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirks ?

Yes, definitely. Select one of SMBIOS from PlatformSupport.plist and test whether it's fully compatible to your need.

In Clover different SMBIOS acts differently: compatible one can boot and update successfully and mildly incompatible one can boot only. Totally incompatible one can not boot at all ! We can get the information from /System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist from different MacOS versions. That's my past experience for hackintoshs for more than 10 years.

Yes, it only occurs in my FX-6300 hackintosh if booted by Clover 5141/5142/5143, no such an issue if booted by OpenCore. No such an issue in my Z370 hackintosh either by Clover.

In both Clover and OpenCore I never had this issue except reboot loop issue only in Clover. Actually your added 3 kernel patches I had applied in FX-6300 hackintosh already that means it can not fix my reboot loop issue.

Yes, confirmed that no double speed animations in OpenCore 0.7.6 with or without ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirk. This issue only in Clover if BusFrequency is not correctly set.

Yes, I have compared them with different bootloaders & MacOS versions at terminal and that's why I have found in Clover I need edit BusFrequency, but in OpenCore it's consistent without changes. Now I have got stable config.plists with & without ProvideCurrentCpuInfo quirk in OpenCore 0.7.6. I hope I can figure out how to fix it in FX-6300 reboot loop issue as soon as possible because FX-6300 must disable ProvideCurrentCpuInfo quirk.

No, booted by OpenCore 0.7.6 seems fully normal but booted by Clover 5143 I must adjust BusFrequency according to MacOS version. In Monterey it should be 200000 and in other MacOS (10.13.6 ~ Big Sur) it should be 100000 otherwise audio output will be abnormal because it was double speed like. Both bootloaders can disable ProvideCurrentCpuInfo without issue in Ryzen 1700X hackintosh.

OK it can boot by OC 0.7.6 now. Did you just adjust the order of kernel patches or change something else in my previous config.plist ? What should I find the difference from previous config.plist ? I'm trying to learn some new knowledge from you.

Both config.plist are attached. config-OC.plist.zip config-Clover.plist.zip

Put them as yours still got the same freeze at the same location. Maybe due to the difference between our hardware (AMD Threadripper 3970x vs. Ryzen 1700X).

Unfortunately it still got the same freeze with this one patch plus the other two patches. Is there specific order for these three kernel patches ? I put them in the first three patches.

Do you mean this one ?

Thanks and do you mean I can disable ProvideCurrentCPUquirk and enable these two patches only ? Or I need also disable CPU topology patch too ? Unfortunately if I disable ProvideCurrentCPUquirk and enable these three patches it always freeze before +++++++++++++++++ appears.

Unfortunately this issue did not solved by Clover 5143 !

I found that in my AMD hackintoshs (FX-6300 & Ryzen 1700X) this value ( BusSpeedkHz) will affect the following: 1. Stability of Audio/video output 2. Performance scores of cinebench & geekbench 3. Panic or reboot before login to desktop during booting of Clover 4. Response of sleep/wake-up functions For example: In my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh I found it should be set BusSpeedkHz=200010 (or 200001 to 202000) to get stable both audio and video output as well as better score in Cinebench R20. Exactly 200000 will get instant reboot before login desktop. But only set to 100000 can get normal sleep/wake-up function unfortunately with unstable audio/video play in Firefox and very poor performance score by cinebench R20 ! In my FX-6300 hackintosh I must set config.plist->CPU->BusSpeedkHz=200000 to get the correct frequency for audio output without crack. Just for your reference.

Thanks and I had the same opinion in Clover there's no complete integration of all Quirk from current OpenCore yet !

Thanks for your sharing of your experience of Clover 5142. However booting with Clover 5141 I got the same issue of reboot loop in FX-6300 hackintosh too !

I had a very strange problem in my FX-6300 hackintosh. Unable to update from Monterey 12.0 to 12.1 or from Big Sur 11.6.1 to 11.6.2: It's Macintosh HD always got reboot loop. The only solution is got updated Macintosh HD from other hackintoshs, then it can reboot 3 times successfully to newer version. No such an issue in my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh with both OpenCore 0.7.6 and Clover 5141. [Solved on 2021-11-22] This issue was solved by the following method: (1) OpenCore 0.7.5 (2) SMBIOS=MacPro7,1 (3) SecureBootMode=j160 To get updated Macintosh HD at first (4) SecureBootMode=Disabled To reboot for 3 times and complete update process without reboot loop now ! [Waiting for solution] I don't know why using the similar method of HWTarget in Clover 5142 did not work for me. My Clover's config.plist and EFI are attached here. config.plist.zip EFI 2.zip

Thanks for your prompt reply. I just looking for working FX-8xxx hackintoshs which can provide me reference for comparison between FX-6300 and FX-8xxx.

May I know your another AMD hackintoshs (Asrock Fatal1ty 990fx, Amd FX 8350 4.6 ghz, AMD r9 270x 2gb x2 in CrossfireX) can boot Big Sur & Monterey too ? With OpenCore or Clover ? Can you share its config.plist for reference ?

Thank you very much. Based upon your config.plist with minor modification for my special hardware requirement it can boot Big Sur and Monterey successfully with Clover 5141 again ! config.plist.zip

No, after update BIOS only OpenCore 0.7.6 or 0.7.5 still working perfectly, but failed of Clover 5141 or 5142. For clover 5141 It can past ++++++, then frozen after something. So I guess I need modify something in Clover's config.plist.

Thanks, but I can not find the option for Resize bar in my MB's BIOS settings. Is it present in more modern MB for Intel 9th/10th generation & AMD TRX40 MB ? In my Z490 hackintoshs it's located in Advanced> PCI Subsystem Mine is ASUS Crosshair VI Hero which was produced in 2018. I can disable ResizeAppleGpuBars in Booter & ResizeGpuBars in UEFI with Clover 5141.
