How to Fix Help with ACPI files for dual boot
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
- Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
- Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
Hello fellow hackintosh experts! I recently just got my first OpenCore hack up and running on Catalina 10.14.4. I had used and still am using clover on my other system, so I am very new to OpenCore. With this system (ASUS Maximus XI, i9-9900k, iGPU (GTX1080 disabled), 32GB RAM) I need to dual boot, which is what least me to ask you guys for help.
Again, I’m very new to OpenCore which seems to heavily rely on ACPI files, as compared to clover. As stated on the OpenCore vanilla guide: “ACPI patches and SSDTs are applied to all operating systems. Adjust your SSDTs with If (_OSI ("Darwin")) {} or use rEFind in conjunction with OpenCore.”
At the moment I’m using only the provided SSDTs within the coffee lake section of the vanilla guide plus my SSDT-UIAC for usb. I do see that some of the provided SSDTs already have the If (_OSI ("Darwin")), but some don’t. For the ones that don’t, do I need to add that? And do I need to add it to my SSDT-UIAC? And if so, where in the file should that be added and how?
I would like to use OpenCore to boot into windows also which is why I’m trying to set this up properly.
Any help would be much appreciated!
