Can you check over this EFI, updated OC and drivers did not touch kexts/ApfsDriverLoader.efi/VBoxHfs.efi/config.plist OpenCore.User.zip

New Error! See attached photo. DSC00004.JPG.zip

Catalina appears to think an empty CD/DVD/Bluray drive is an unformatted hard drive, it's not. Is it a known issue with Catalina that an empty CD/DVD/Bluray drive ejects while booting? Could this be stopped with a kext or in clover? Or is the only fix to put a disc in drive?

Hi Maldon, I tried EFI OpenCore Chipset Series out of interest in OpenCore. I assume this one is the correct one for my system which is a 9 series chipset. But it does not work for me as is. See attached file for error message. DSC00003.JPG.zip

Well I cannot format a CD drive. But I can try putting a CD in to see if that helps.

I have uploaded all the clues I have so far to https://filebin.net/b1yr9avaoomslyqf Please look at the files and advise what else I can look for.

CD tray sometimes ejects during boot, whats causing this and how do I stop it? Advise if more info needed.

Hi Maldon, I was comparing my existing config.plist to your new one in CLOVER CHIPSET SERIES 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. And found the following differences (shown as a patch file)... Why are these changes needed? and why are some DSDT patches removed? --- /home/james/MacUSB/Clover.User/James/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist +++ /home/james/MacUSB/Clover.User/James/EFI/CLOVER/config2.plist @@ -41,46 +41,6 @@ <array> <dict> <key>Comment</key> - <string>GFX0 to IGPU</string> - <key>Disabled</key> - <false/> - <key>Find</key> - <data>R0ZYMA==</data> - <key>Replace</key> - <data>SUdQVQ==</data> - </dict> - <dict> - <key>Comment</key> - <string>HECI to IMEI</string> - <key>Disabled</key> - <false/> - <key>Find</key> - <data>SEVDSQ==</data> - <key>Replace</key> - <data>SU1FSQ==</data> - </dict> - <dict> - <key>Comment</key> - <string>SAT0 to SATA</string> - <key>Disabled</key> - <false/> - <key>Find</key> - <data>U0FUMA==</data> - <key>Replace</key> - <data>U0FUQQ==</data> - </dict> - <dict> - <key>Comment</key> - <string>GLAN to GIGE</string> - <key>Disabled</key> - <false/> - <key>Find</key> - <data>R0xBTg==</data> - <key>Replace</key> - <data>R0lHRQ==</data> - </dict> - <dict> - <key>Comment</key> <string>EHC1 to EH01</string> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> @@ -118,6 +78,16 @@ <data>VVNCRQ==</data> <key>Replace</key> <data>RUgwMg==</data> + </dict> + <dict> + <key>Comment</key> + <string>Fix Bug RTC</string> + <key>Disabled</key> + <false/> + <key>Find</key> + <data>oAqTU1RBUwE=</data> + <key>Replace</key> + <data>oAqRCv8L//8=</data> </dict> <dict> <key>Comment</key> @@ -134,7 +104,7 @@ <false/> </dict> <key>DisableASPM</key> - <false/> + <true/> <key>DropTables</key> <array> <dict> @@ -492,6 +462,8 @@ <string>Apple Inc.</string> <key>Mobile</key> <false/> + <key>NoRomInfo</key> + <true/> <key>PlatformFeature</key> <string>0x01</string> <key>ProductName</key> @@ -506,7 +478,7 @@ <key>SystemParameters</key> <dict> <key>InjectKexts</key> - <string>Detect</string> + <string>Yes</string> <key>InjectSystemID</key> <true/> </dict>
