Skylake laptop i5/520 graphics only boot Tahoe beta 2 in safe mode.

[ziggy762]

Tahoe beta2 booting to desktop only with clover boot arg -x for safe mode.  The safe mode verbose boot shows quite a number of kexts not loading.

Booting with minimum kexts for FakeSMC and associated files, lilu and weg.  ACPI patched has SSDT-OLARILA-MOBILE.aml

Can not use Voodoo Ps2 controller and plugins due to KP, so removed and boot proceeds.

Booting Sonoma/Sequoia ok with Voodoo Ps2 controller/RMI/SMBUS and synaptics trackpad/keyboard work ok.

In Tahoe beta 2 safe mode, once I am to login can plug in usb mouse and keyboard and they function.

Without safe mode, laptop boots to a point shortly before login screen appears and then KPs with verbose text scrolling to a point where I cannot see any indication of what specific event triggered the KP.?

Is there  a specific log I can look to see if a specific kext triggered the KP?config_plist.zip

Are there updates for Voodoo Ps2 controller/RMI/SMBUS that work with Tahoe?

Should I post an IOreg dump?

Try to disable VT-d in BIOS. Looks like this is the main difference between Sequoia and Tahoe.

Thanks for the reply but virtualization was already disabled in the BIOS. 

I know you are busy with developer issues but I have made a new post/request for DSDT to see if it could resolve some or all of the issues related here:

https://olarila.com/topic/923-dsdt-patch-requests/page/773/#replyForm

Additionally, since both you and MaLdOn are contributors/moderators to Insanelymac can you tell me why my email is not accepted for signup at Insanelymac?   I have been using the same company going on five years.  I used to sign in to both Olarila and Insanelymac with a login name and password in both cases, one day the sign in was changed to email and password and I entered the email and password but sign in failed.

Thank you.

Better progress with beta4, trackpad, keyboard, audio and graphics.  System info showing metal 3 graphics , although transition from login screen to wallpaper usually results in greenish half of desktop showing until wallpaper manually configured in system settings.  This appears to a be an improvement from beta3 where only solid color background appeared to be working properly.
