Mojave on X99 E5-2696v4. Need help!

[kingkong89]

Hi All,

 

 

 

I'm currently on High Sierra 10.13.6, Using Asus X99 Deluxe II with E5-2696V4.

 

Have been trying to update to Mojave but it gone onto a reboot cycle at the restart....

 

 

 

anyone please...?

[fabiosun]

Hi KingKong nice to see you here

remember also

 

you have to change some kernel patches if you are using some ;)

Do you happen to know the XX value for E5-2696V4?

 

 

 

The XX value in cpuid_set_info © Pike R. Alpha & xcpm_bootstrap © Pike R. Alpha....

 

 

 

Sorry for the trouble...

here is the EFI after I incorporated the kernel patch. but without my cpu XX value...

Far away from my pc by now

 

I will check later

 

For now take a look here

Also you can find xx in your old patches

[kingkong89]

Oh I forget to mention. My Board's Bios is patched, so MSR 0xE2 register is unlock for OSX Kernel Write.

[fabiosun]

Ciao Kingkong89

 

 

 

your efi is using too many kernel patches and in kext you are using many old kext

 

I will try to give you a simple config.plist for it but you should also use latest kext and maybe also new drivers64 uefi I think

 

 

 

Ha scritto dopo 8 minuti 30 secondi:

 

I see also many unusefull ssdt for Nvme and old method to map correctly USB ports

 

If I don't mind you have an Asus x99 deluxe 2

 

You can use this guide to map it in new and fast way

Thank you

Thanks Fabio, I will give it a try.

remember also for now no Nvidia drivers are available

[kingkong89]

Using the config.plist I can't boot...it stuck at the verbose page. DO I need the SSDT.aml and SSDT-XOSI.aml in the patched folder?

[fabiosun]

Have you used also kext in others and driver64uefi I insert in it?

 

could you post only clover folder (working one in your system with High Sierra)?

 

also you should post where system hangs in verbose (take a photo of it)

 

Thanks

I see also now you have in signature a Vega 64 (Nitro+), I think is not there your hang ;)

[kingkong89]

Yes, Kext all used. Attached EFI, working in HS 10.13.6, but when doing update to 10.14

 

 

 

It will keep rebooting from the attached verbose page.......

It Worked!!!!!! Thank you very very Much!!! You are my man!!

 

 

 

Needing performance and vector frequency fix. Will explore and report. Thank you very very very much!!!!

[fabiosun]

no kingkong I am happily married :)

 

 

 

please you have to discover correct patches for you..follow this forum because here there is great people and your EFI need a great help and cleaning :)

[kingkong89]

Ha Ha! No worries! I'm a married man as well. Having a wonderful wife and three beautiful kids! Will continue to explore to refine the system.

[fabiosun]

If you want you can delete all ssdt for nvme and study to create a ssdt for usb

 

it is pretty simple

 

now I have activated automatic kernel XCPM in clover but you can achieve it also in other ways. with right kernel patches

 

 

 

I have no more your kind of cpu so I am limited in helping (no chance to test) :9

 

Have a nice Hack :)

for vectorfrequency

 

try to use ImacPro 1.1 smbios

 

It is working well and it has FV injected by default

 

Very usefull also for Nvidia Policy problem we have with MacPro 6.1 smbios

[kingkong89]

kernelXCPM must be checked in my config.plist to run Mojave..

 

 

 

My Bios is patched with MSR 0xE2 register unlock, the xcpm is working without patches in kernel patch, only need the performance patch. I'm happy with the system. Only thing is it does not perform as well in mojave as in HS. about 10% slow, check using geekbench.

Yes till you will find exact patches for you

 

XCPM kernel patches is an automatic way to patch kernel for unsupported Cpu as your XEON

 

If you remember till High Sierra I have had an identical system to yours

 

For our system was mandatory to have

 

1) fakecpuid

 

2) Brumbaer IOCPIFamily kext patch

 

3) only reboot fix (piker alpha) (also with/without patched bios

 

then if you have EIST enabled in bios to have performance you have to use oarksit performance fix

 

 

 

Said this

 

KernleXCPM allow to boot without fakecpuid and reboot fix (brumbaer instead should be mandatory)

 

if you have time, searching on clover code in clover repo, you will find exact patch with KernelXCPM flag uses for your cpu and you can decide to use it without that flag in usual way

 

 

 

About 10% is too much maybe you have to refine better your settings cleaning unuseful things but only you can know :)

 

 

 

or ... :)

 

update @ x299 system

 

your old Xeon is today a great value and in same case you can also use your ECC unsupported DIMM as I do (they are working well with designare EX and with X299 Sage (not latest bios)

[kingkong89]

thank Fabio!

 

 

 

I' actually a mechanical engineer... I don't know much bait IT and I really a noop with programming. I'm actually struggling to understand get the Hackintosh work in a perfect way... but I really appreciate your help and others who are willing to share how to make a hack work.

 

 

 

BTW do you happen to know the _cpuid_set_info for E52696V4? I think that will help a lot....

[kingkong89]

Fabio, I think I'm going to upgrade to X299..... X99 is just too much of patches to work with....

[fabiosun]

When I have had your same system I have optimized it using only 3 mandatory patches or KernelXCPM flag (I preferred 3 patches state)

 

 

 

1)fakecpuid

 

2)Brumbaer IOCPIfamily kext patch

 

3) Pikeralpha reboot fix kernel patches

 

 

 

And this should be valid also for you

 

 

 

Obviously with my I9 7980Xe now I have eliminated all of this and system starts pretty vanilla

 

So it is up to you the choice :)

 

Remember all it is possible also to use your actual DDR4 ECC in new X299 (official specific is not true for Asus X299 Sage (not latest bios) and for Gigabyte Designare EX (bios F2 and F3)

 

I have talked with gigabyte technical service and they say with latest bios is not possible to use anymore Rdimm etc DDR4

 

In these days DDR4 is a pain to buy..and there are no advantages in performance if you use ddr4 @2133 or @4000...

 

Due High TDP you will need of a liquid cooling system to have a nice OC if you want

[kingkong89]

Ok thanks!! I'll study into the hardware.

[kingkong89]

Hi Fabio,

 

 

 

Thanks for the information!!

 

 

 

I have finally able to boot with just three patches, without the KernelXCPM. It was some kext in my old 10.13.6 kext folder. I had help from KGP on the PCI implementation, also his kext on a X99 board, and the hack is working very well now. I want to thank you for giving my the lead on the XCPM, I did learn something about patches and fundamental of computer stuffs. Being a person totally an alien to IT and computer programming, your input really helps a lot!
