VirtualSMC works for High Sierra but not Mojave. Which is kind of weird isnt it? But, I believe the public release will iron out this issue.

[Mirone]

but not Mojave

for me working like a charm in both system.

I tried booting Mojave again right after I read your reply. And now it boots! I guess the first 4 attempts were false alarm

Fiz um teste aqui no meu notebook, e o sistema subiu somente não se deu bem com o SMCLightSensor.kext. Que notei no boot uns erros, ai removi ela e o boot subiu normalmente.

Hi

I am from the facebook group and I am having problems using VirtualSMC

UEFI boots and gives error

Virtual SMC (1.0 ou algo assim (to no trabalho agora e a maquina ta em casa) =

"Initial key obtain falure - not found" and

"failed to remove key - not found"

Maldon told me on the facebook post I made to remove VirtualSMC and use FakeSMC, but the problem is I am not being able to boot using FakeSMC

I took FakeSMC from Rehabman, but still no boot.... Do I have to download a specific version of the SMC Helper driver ? I downloaded an older one since I did not find it elsewhere

my spec: ASUS Sabertooth Z77 I7-3770K (4,5 OC) 16GB RAM (2x8 GSKILL TridentX 2666Mhz) 2TB Hybrid Firecuda

Tks

Ele da erro na hora de bootar por UEFI

Virtual SMC (1.0 ou algo assim (to no trabalho agora e a maquina ta em casa) =

"Initial key obtain falure - not found" and

"failed to remove key - not found"

O mais engraçado é que eu testei a Virtual SMC aqui no meu High Sierra e notei que no inicio ele também dar esse erro na tela do Clover. Mas, o sistema sobe normalmente. Talvez esteja faltando algum detalhe, em todo caso, cada caso é um caso, eu estou usando um Notebook, então acredito que o melhor a lhe responder isso pode ser o MaLd0n.

Opa, estranho que aqui ficou nessa e nao subiu nem a pau

Vou tentar mais tarde gravar o RAW num pendrive mais rapido e ve se ela anda ou se eu der enter, barra de espaco qqr coisa ela acelera

Caso contrario vou ver se eu consigo fazer um instalador direto pela imagem da appstore (baixei aqui tb) e colocar o Clover a mao mesmo

[MaLd0n]

o projeto está no início, temos de esperar os devs acertarem as coisas

Melhor coisa é usar essas novidades em uma partição de testes, nunca na partição principal.

Ainda mais se der erro, e você não souber consertar 😉

Best thing is to use these new features in a test partition, never in the main partition.

Even more so if you make a mistake, and you do not know how to fix it

thats a good idea my suggestion is to compress your original in the efi partition an then make adjustments

[MaLd0n]

a good and easy way is: put fakesmc and virtualsmc in clover/kext/other, reboot, press BarSpace and block FakeSmc

reboot, press BarSpace and block FakeSmc

[erroruser]

yup all made what are they for

[MaLd0n]

go to Release folder

[adiif1]

Is it profitable to change from fakesmc to just virutalsmc? I am using x79 with dual cpu

[MaLd0n]

just change

release is out, check first post

[erroruser]

another heads up you may need to update the lilu also had an issue when went to reboot https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu/releases

What to do with these files ?

In release folder there are only 4 files and no kexts.
