How to Fix Boot options suddenly gone
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
- Boot with
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100to identify the exact kernel panic. - Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
- Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
Any help here would be appreciated. I've had continued issues with my hack (OC updated to 0.67, updated kexts, etc) due to my 5700xt. I can crash the computer reliably under certain conditions, but that's not the issue that worries me currently.
After a crash, upon rebooting all boot options were gone from the BIOS. Tried resetting the bios, clearing the CMOS, restoring bios settings, etc. but nothing got the boot options to reappear. Eventually found that if I changed certain things and switched pages in the bios, the boot override feature would be available and I could choose the NVMe drive to boot from. This got me back into macOS at least. But if I restart, the bios is back to having no boot options.
Any ideas what's goin on here? I guess my last ditch effort is refreshing the bios completely.
