RESOLVED setting Clover SMBIOS to iMac15,1

@MaLd0n Hey Man, Please have a look @ my Send me.. see if you can spot the problem with opencore boot loader: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13DsGxAzOvQmDO42ghWsXg4jvg5GNhs5v/view?usp=sharing EDIT: I finally got my internal SAS controller listed using OWCJupiterAdapter.kext and now the SAS OSX controller shows in System Report. SAS partition shows up in boot options with Clover boot loader but will not post: here is link to CLove EFI as well: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uoWdoLp9K6jeS7-2-Qjser3ObU0zRXZT/view?usp=sharing bios set to all UEFI except video, but when Catalina or Big Sur loads the SAS drives are still missing with opencore and clover EFI list SAS drives but OSX fails to load. TIA

Yea that's what I'm doing.. that and selecting my OS X m2 drive from the Windows 10 boot manager The sticking problem is: only the nvme drives are listed everything else is missing

The issue with Windows 10 hanging when loaded via opencore menu has to do with the DSDT.aml file without it (dsdt.aml disabled) Windows 10 boots correctly but Catalina fails so for now I'm using window boot manager for windows 10 and openCore bootloader for Catalina maybe ther folks over at opencore can address this issue ina future update @MaLd0n Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks! Tryin to solve missing SAS drives and Windows 10 hanging when booted from opencore bootloader checking config.plist with opencore configurator now..

This is the modded x99 opencore EFI that boots - run the runme app from this install Send me iMac Catalina 32321 note: the internal LSI SAS2 2308 has 2x 8tb hard drives connected that do not show up anymore note: Windows 10 hangs when started from openCore also sometimes catalina now boots to a black screen and must be restarted is this normal for opencore? the Atto express H680 is listed - ok not the problem

Hi, I am a bit confused by your request Catalina originally used clover but when I updated my processors from 2x E5-2637v3(4core 8threads) to 2x E5-2690v4(14core 28threads) the Clover based EFI stopped booting. I run the sendme I posted using that EFI because I thought that is what you wanted to see. I have since replaced it with open core EFI to boot OSX with out the USB now I am not sure what you want please advise should I go back to the clover EFI for this?

heres the file: Send me iMac Catalina

Fixed inconsistent OS X boot to Catalina: changed PlatformNVRAM to iMac16,2 and set System UUID to Catalina UUID from diskutility Model Name: iMac Model Identifier: iMac16,2 Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz Number of Processors: 2 Total Number of Cores: 28 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache (per Processor): 35 MB Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled Memory: 128 GB Boot ROM Version: 426.0.0.0.0 SMC Version (system): 2.32f21 Serial Number (system): DGKPKTYWGG7F Hardware UUID: EAA1F883-A22B-E611-9C43-BC0000F20000 getting full dump with ioreg please standby..

Update: The Catalina boot is inconsistent and causes Windows 10 become corrupted and in need of repair can you spot the problem? gonna try different boot arg
