When I want to boot into Windows (or Linux), I simply hold down the F11 (or F12, depending on mobo) key, to directly boot from BIOS into Windows (or Linux). Not very difficult. If you boot from OC, you're potentially running into problems with OC settings fouling up Windows (or Linux). I just don't see the advantage of using OC for booting into anything but macOS.

 

The other thing that is commonly done, which also makes no sense to me, is setting the SMBIOS to MacPro7,1. The latter has no current advantage with respect to performance (I've tested several times over the past year both in VM and bare metal, in both Catalina and BS, and on Intel and AMD platforms) and only leads to various errors in memory and PCIe lanes issues that some add-on kexts don't fully fix. Why bother?

 

 

That makes sense.  thanks.  I boot into Mac probably more and i like the idea of windows booting on its own.  If i turn off the picker then, to just boot straight into Mac, is there a keystroke to show the picker if i need to clear nvram or go into shell or recovery?  if not i can just do picker with timer for sure.

 

So i had read this thread through once, and am now going back through it in reverse, and i must have skimmed over this post:

So this EFI is unlikely to work. It's a reference EFI that is an older version of mine but it has a bunch of things that will not apply to you. A few problems:

 

1. You need to remove all stuff in device properties. There is some Radeon 5700XT specific stuff injected there. Just delete all entries there.

2. Stick to SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 as most people have experience with it and can help you (I use MacPro7 ,1 but would still recommend iMacPro1,1)

3. The MMIO numbers there will need to be re-derived as they depend on your BIOS. I use a custom f4h BIOS from Gigabyte to fix a specific issue with my Setup but f4c or f4k (official) should work fine. Please, go back and redo MMIO derivation guide on this forum - 

 

4.  Leave only SSDT-DTGP, SSDT-PLUG, SSTD-NVRAM, SSTD-USBX, disable the rest for now

5. Try disabling all kexts aside from Lilu and VirtualSMC. 

 

  Also you can't use these args: -v -wegbeta agdpmod=pikera npci=0x2000 alcid=1 keepsyms=1 slide=80

 

They depend on your GPU (e.g. agdpmod=pikera). Remove npci=0x2000.

Basically try 1st "-v keepsyms=1" and add the rest based on your card and specific case. Remove slide=80.

 

Once these obvious issues are fixed please report back.

 

p.s.

I have 4 Gammix in my AIC NVME. They work. 

 

It was definitely important.  I went through and removed a lot of that stuff and it fixed some things. my audio is still distorted if i remove whatevergreen kext so i kept that even without its boot args.  i might mess with that some more to make sure i have the right combination

 

i'm currently using     -v  alcid=11 keepsyms=1   and audio is working.

 

iMacPro1,1 is working great for me

 

[fabiosun]

@thebwackinternal Realtek USB 2.0 audio?

alcid 11 for it?

maybe I miss something

explain please 

 

also whatergreen is useful (maybe for ) gpu Hdmi/DP audio if you do not have a custom ssdt for it

also to set your GPU to GFX0 in ioreg...

Speaking of cooling - I was offline for a couple of days as I decided to upgrade mine. Never had overheating issues with the TR4-SP3 dual fan, but thought that 64 cores deserved better. Got the Enermax TR4 II off ebay as I didn't see a point buying new since they are problematic, and refurbished it as best as I could. Drained and refilled with distilled water + vinegar a couple of times to clean all the floating junk inside, gave the cold plate a nice cleaning and polished the surface with some cape cod until it looked better than new, and refilled with EKWB premix. Bleeding the air on this was a bit painful as was figuring how to mount with my existing 140mm fans. 1st AIO ever and back pain inducing experience, but my idle temps fell by 7 degrees. Need to do more testing later.

 

So my mouse micro-stutter experience came back and it's not wireless related as now disabling it doesn't do anything. Seems it is 5700XT and DP 1.2 related as reported by many others. No fix so far as I need DP 1.2 for 4K and my display doesn't support DP1.4. I noticed it only after I upgraded to OC 0.6.1 so not sure why I never had it initially. The microstutter affects sound too. Some people recommend disabling DP sound to fix it, but I like to use my monitor audio so not an option I like.

@all

could you post a debug open core.txt file of your booting rig in bare metal?

I would like to see this part (MMIO Address)

thank you:

Well just took the plunge and tried to get my Proxmox Catalina install booting in bare metal. Used the @iGPU EFI and it almost immediately worked. Had to tweak above 4G to Disabled in bios, I also removed all the BRCM kexts as I replaced the internal wifi with an Apple compatible one. Seems I need to add MMIO whitelist as the system won't shutdown (Getting sleep to work would be awesome) my bootlog is attached below. (Above 4G disabled)

@Rox67er, when you say it won't shut down do you mean that it shuts down but immediately restarts? On my Gigabyte Xtreme motherboard the Whitelisting didn't make any difference to this. There was a simple fix though, discovered by @meina222 on his Gigabyte board, and that was to just disable Wake on Lan in the BIOS. Worked like a charm. Sleep for me still doesn't work but I generally don't let the machine sleep anyway. I just shutdown when I am done.

[fabiosun]

In these days to solve the problem I had with Photoshop 2020 in high sierra I tried a little bit of all operating systems

I took some EFI found in the thread to start from another point of view!

Photoshop 2020 works well from Mojave to newer systems like Big Sur

From mojave up, the Realtek USB 2.0 audio inside our motherboard works perfectly without the use of applealc but exclusively with the standard drivers of the various operating systems

If you have less than perfect audio, you are most likely using an SSDT that is interfering with the same audio (I used some of Ploddles without checking and audio was a mess)

 

I also believe that the alcid bootarg is of little or no use for the same type of audio we have all (usb audio)

I noticed one thing in Mojave, the "series" levels seem much higher than Catalina and Big Sur
I can't talk about high sierra because in my case the USB driver doesn't work with realtek 2.0..I see the peripheral as I see it in other systems..but it just doesn't "play" 🙂

however, you are lucky not to have to run into the problems that TRX40, HighSierra and Nvidia create 🙂 🙂

[fabiosun]

@Rox67erto have shutdown and restart working you have to set to 1 most of your MMIO

Gigabyte seems to act in a different way...also for sleep it is a good combination of MMIO and gpu stuff

 

in my case,  when I have Nvidia drivers loaded (also in unsupported system newer then HighSierra) all these features work

Thanks, I have wake on lan disabled in bios (wake on PCI is disabled and thus also wake on lan) In my case it just doesn't shut down at all. The mouse disappears but the background stays and system just freezes.

the tip is trying to use more you can to skip 1

 

Schema proposed above could work also for you

You have also to check if your MMIO are the same, if not you have to convert in decimal yours

Used all but the last four and system still boots fine. Shutdown now works as expected but sleep not yet.

[fabiosun]

Ask to @Driftwood with him we had success in catalina

maybe you have to use my previous schema putting to 0 one of these mmio now to 1

On an open quest to discover common traits of our MMIO addresses in our boards HPET always keeps cropping up for address 0xFED00000

 

"The BIOS often sets up the HPET incorrectly in the ACPI, initializing it correctly only in Intel 8253 mode. If the ACPI is not set up correctly the OS cannot list the HPET. And the BIOS and OS developers don't see the need to get Real Time support. So the HPET is only there to satisfy the system's high speed needs. If the HPET is set up correctly in the ACPI from BIOS then the ACPI MMIO page of the first HPET chip should be at 0xFED00000 and the second HPET at page 0xFED80000"  WIKIPEDIA

 

So I started investigating the other MMIO addresses to find any common values out there in webworld as nobody seems to know what they relate to!

 

Therefore we have in our debug of my Asrock TRX40 Creator an estimate of what these values mean:-

 

child 0 MMIO devirt 0xCB100000 -  AppleACPIPCI PCI Bridge Peg 0

child 1 MMIO devirt 0xD7180000 - Registered nosave memory ?

child 2 MMIO devirt 0xE3180000 - Registered nosave memory ?

child 3 MMIO devirt 0xE3300000 - device interrupt (10?)  memory

child 4 MMIO devirt 0xEF100000 - device interrupt(20?)memory

child 5 MMIO devirt 0xFEA00000 -  device interrupt (e.g. interrupt 16 at device 0.0 on pci4)

child 6 MMIO devirt 0xFEC00000 - RTMPTable IOAPIC (The address in the physical address space of the I/O APIC. If set to zero, the default address 0xFEC00000 is assumed)

child 7 MMIO devirt 0xFEC10000 - IOAPIC

child 8 MMIO devirt 0xFED00000 - HPET1

child 9 MMIO devirt 0xFED40000 - Trusted Platform Module (TPM)  ?

child 10 MMIO devirt 0xFED80000 - AMD ACPI MMIO address / General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) address (Southbridge?) / HPET2

child 11 MMIO devirt 0xFEDC2000 - Reserved no save memory ?

child 12 - MMIO devirt 0xFEDD4000 - Reserved ?

child 13 - MMIO devirt 0xFEE00000 - LAPIC - LAPIC registers are usually placed on address 0xFEE00000, and I/O APIC registers on address 0xFEС00000

child 14 - MMIO devirt 0xFF000000 - Int Mask

Child 15 - MMIO devirt 0x10000000000 acpipci0 pcimem
Child 16 - MMIO devirt 0x2BF40000000 acpipci3 pcimem
Child 17 - MMIO devirt 0x47E80000000 acpipci2 pcimem
Child 18 - MMIO devirt 0x63DC0000000 acpipci1 pcimem

As you can see in the device interrupt areas these memory addresses are probably going to change between motherboards and devices on the PCI/PCIe lane.

Anyways, research goes on... please dont take the above as gospel!

 

Interesting PROBE of Asrock TRX40 Creator under Linux here: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?probe=724cb22da0

 

@Driftwoodhave you been successful in getting sleep to work? I changed from Proxmox to bare metal today with all the help in this thread and now have my Catalina disk (from Proxmox) booting bare metal, all seems to work except for sleep. I have slightly different MMIO from you although running the same board. (only one Radeon VII in slot 1)

 

Do you run default bios settings ? Above 4G enabled?

 

Thanks!

Let's hope that 1. it can reset in VFIO and 2. it's available at launch and 3. has a smoother driver experience than Navi.

@Driftwoodhave you been successful in getting sleep to work? I changed from Proxmox to bare metal today with all the help in this thread and now have my Catalina disk (from Proxmox) booting bare metal, all seems to work except for sleep. I have slightly different MMIO from you although running the same board. (only one Radeon VII in slot 1)

 

Do you run default bios settings ? Above 4G enabled?

 

Thanks!

 

  

Hi mate, Im away from computer atm as filming. Sleep works with Cat Above 4G and I think I had S5 on. All MMIO is YES apart from last four which is No, like you now have.

 

Havent tried converting my M2 Catalina drive over to BM yet as wanted to leave it as Proxmox just in case (and probably till BS is working better). I have Cat BM and BS BM installed on separate SSD satas.

so probably we have no more space in our bios / mmio combinations 🙂

 

and now the next goal should be to understand in a clear way when those remaining Devirtualize area interact bad with our daily  use with OSX/App and so on...

Hang could happen when OSX, app try to use those devirtualized area...

Hi mate, Im away from computer atm as filming. Sleep works with Cat Above 4G and I think I had S5 on. All MMIO is YES apart from last four which is No, like you now have.

 

Havent tried converting my M2 Catalina drive over to BM yet as wanted to leave it as Proxmox just in case (and probably till BS is working better). I have Cat BM and BS BM installed on separate SSD satas.

Removed boot arg npci=0x2000 and switched Above4G to Enabled. Need to update my MMIO as the first entries now changed.

It was definitely important.  I went through and removed a lot of that stuff and it fixed some things. my audio is still distorted if i remove whatevergreen kext so i kept that even without its boot args.  i might mess with that some more to make sure i have the right combination

 

i'm currently using     -v  alcid=11 keepsyms=1   and audio is working.

 

iMacPro1,1 is working great for me

 

Hay, my audio was distorted also, I found a workaround, just use USB 2.0 instead 3.x for external USB audio card.

I hope the patch will be ported to X570 and B550 systems 😉 I can boot my X570 system without yellow screen and boosted 3d performances but I have very bad graphics corruptions and slow gui during bootup.

That makes sense.  thanks.  I boot into Mac probably more and i like the idea of windows booting on its own.  If i turn off the picker then, to just boot straight into Mac, is there a keystroke to show the picker if i need to clear nvram or go into shell or recovery?  if not i can just do picker with timer for sure.

 

So i had read this thread through once, and am now going back through it in reverse, and i must have skimmed over this post:

If you turn off picker, OC is on it's own. I've not tried it, but if Misc/Boot/PollAppleHotKeys is enabled (I always leave on; presently, p 36 Docs) and Misc/Security/AllowNvramReset is enabled, you might be able to CMD+P+R before Apple logo appears to get into NVRAM when ShowPicker is No.

 

I leave ShowPicker on (Yes), and have TimeOut set to 0 (disable) so I can control what happens.

 

The distorted audio has been discussed: turn off Wifi (or try only using 5G). alcid seems to have little effect, but then I use a USB Audio interface (USB-C port) and not the internal audio.

Regarding audio issue, I found that the only way to ge t working my external audio card was to disable onboard audio and then reinstall Catalina.

 

My system's temps run just fine. Idle is shown below.

 

To read about details on how I prepared the cooler for this CPU, do a search in the VM thread on this forum for a couple of my posts on the subject. Many heat blocks are not flat and temperature transfer is adversely affected. I planed my flat; read the posts.

 

When stressed, power/temps jump up; so as not to repeat re-posting images, see this post here; the temps under those conditions are very reasonable.
