HP Z820 2 x Xeon (24C/48T). Mojave installation - Noob, help

[ragimund]

Hi, Thx MaLd0n.

1#

So I should put your DSDT.aml file into EFI/Clover/"SOMEWHERE" ?? and do something (commands or run app ?).

2#

I also found some guide how to Extract DSDT (Clover & F4) and then I disassemble ACPI files.

Managed to do that (somehow ). Took copy+paste from Terminal prompt and dropped it to Texteditor - uploaded it to Tiny. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=53444634898874948571

3#

I also zipped the current EFI with those "disassemble ACPI files". Haven't done any "patching" yet - don't know what to patch or how... http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=51376704907861142574

4#

I will now download your DSDT.aml file and wait more instructions for Noob what to do with it ?

Once again, Big Thanks for Your help for Noob !!

[ref]ragimund[/ref], put dsdt in clover/acpi/patched and inject layout-id via clover

[ragimund]

MaLd0n, you are The Man !

Copied DSDT to clover/acpi/pacthed and left the Audio inject value to last tested one - 28.

Rebooted. Audio Working !!

Headphones (front) - OK

Line out (back) - OK

Bluetooth speaker tower - OK

AirPlay to my Home Theater - OK

I still see some errors in Boot verbose list - they go too fast to read, at least there was something about wrong chip or "something" error.

I will now try if the 2019 - 001 update for Mojave downloads and installs successfully... Meaning no notification about the same update again and again...

If not, I will take again this Run_Me and send you the zip for analysing....

Thanks again for your valuable help, would not have managed with my first Hackintosh without you, you are The Guru !

Ok, Mojave Security Update 2019-001 10.14.6 1,55GB installation fail.

-Downloads Ok, Starts to Install - Apple logo, text "Installing Software Update", progress bar going about 1/10 and suddenly Reboots (did not finish the progress bar to the end).

-Logging in, Software Update window opens in UI - notification about same Update

Added link to Tinyload, latest RunMe-SendMe.zip

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=35985604023191682782

Is this enough or do you need the Boot Verbose list (errors seen)? How can I take that to Log file ?

Thx MaLd0n,

I will read the topic in the evening and try do (& learn).

Let's see if Noob will success ?

remove usbinjectall.kext

[ragimund]

MaLd0n, Thx again!

You were faster than me, new DSDT again.

-Removed your previous DSDT file from /patched

-Replaced by your latest DSDT

-Removed usbinjectall.kext from /other

-Rebooted, Logged In, Tried Mojave Update...

-Update starts, can see Apple logo, text "Installing Software Update", progress bar doesn't seem to go much further than with previous DSDT (maybe 1-2mm ?).

-Stays a little bit longer in this view before rebooting than with the previous version + when moving mouse, pointer was visible in window.

-Booted automatically, Logged In manually, Software Update window opens in UI - notification about same Update.

-Update failed...

[ragimund]

Sorry MaLd0n,

I tried to follow your guide https://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=14040

But I did NOT see anything related to XHC/RHUB on my DSDT.aml like in Guide and Pictures ??

I tried with AND without that usbinjectall.kext - same thing, NO XHC / RHUB visible anywhere.

I used MaciASL 1.5.6 and

Hackingtools 2.8.6 (0286).

Hackingtools shows something, but all USB2's and speed "Unknown" (took a picture, will attach via tiny upload).

The HP Z820 documentation says:

Front:

1 x USB2.0

2 x USB3.0

Back:

4 x USB2.0

2 x USB3.0

Internal:

6 x USB2.0 Headers

Have no idea how to find them AND patch them.

Also, whitch port is 2.0 or 3.0 - how to identify from "code" ?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]ragimund[/ref], search for EH0 in ur dsdt

[ragimund]

MaLd0n,

I opened DSDT.aml with MaciASL app, searched EH0 and found EH01 and EH02, plenty of USB's.

They are all configured as ON, USB2 ( = 0xFF, Zero).

I have no idea how to figure out which one is USB2 and which one is USB3, and which ones are Internal.

The amount of USB's (in screenshot, all usb2) is not same as physical connectors in Z820.

USB2.0:

Front 1

Back 4

USB3.0:

Front 2

Back 2

Internal: 6 x USB2.0

I'm confused and don't understand.

USB2 should be Zero, and USB3 0x03.

Am I missing some "USB3 Controller/Hub" ??

And now my Wireless (M$ Keyboard + Mouse) is in Front USB2.0 and mouse moves in big jumps (hard to operate). Something weird in USB's. Z820 worked perfectly in Windows 10 - but I don't want windows

[MaLd0n]

[ref]ragimund[/ref], in ur case u just need Zero(usb 2 connector type)

[ragimund]

MaLd0n,

so current configuration is Ok as All USB's are marked as Zero (=usb2.0).

But the amount of "usb devices" doesn't match the amount of physical connectors ?

And are my USB3.0 port's now working as USB2.0 and Lower Speed ?

And this USB thing is now causing this Mojave Update failure ?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]ragimund[/ref], ur usb 3 is not intel, dont work nati e in ur case, need a injector

[ragimund]

MaLd0n,

Yes, HP Z820 USB3 manufacturer is Texas, found "Texas Instruments USB 3.0 xHCI Controller" mention.

Newer HP Z840 uses Intel

So it's Ok that all are configured as Zero (USB2.0) and I need a some "usb.kext" to get them work Ok and then Apple Mojave Update will go Ok ?

But is it Ok to use that "usbinjectall.kext" or not ? Have tried with it and without it, no change.

Only problem that I have anymore is...

-USB2.0/3.0 working "somehow", but some weird behavior

-Mojave Update 2019-001 doesn't install Ok

[MaLd0n]

[ref]ragimund[/ref], usb 3 don't work a native way, u need one kext for it

[ragimund]

and the kext is ?

[ragimund]

Hi MaLdOn

1#

Can you help me with my CPU speed ? It's always at 2.40Ghz, but it can do 3.20Ghz.

I think this relates to NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, am I right ?

What I have read from forums, I should remove this kext and replace it with "Apple-something".kext and patch my SSDT with Rehabs script "ssdtPWRGen-something" but I don't fully understand it.

I know that it supports my double CPU's (2 x E5-2695v2).

Ivy Bridge.cfg 'E5-2695 v2',115,1200,2400,3200,12,24

Can you help me and patch my current SSDT ? Please ?

I will attach my current EFI.zip and RunMe.zip links to TinyUpload.

I had some help (new EFI) from other Z820 users in InsanelyMac forum, where you are also (noticed) - but you are my First Helper & Mentor

2#

I have downloaded Rehabs FakeSMC and Sensors, and HWmonitor (latest 2018-0915).

It works, kind of, but it shows only 8 Cores ? Should it show more ?

I attached screenshot photo from HWMonitor. Should it be configured more from somewhere ?

I have that VooDooKext, that you edited for me (Value 47 -> 24 C / 48 T)

3#

My USB's should work now, as USB2.0 and USB3.0 (XCHI now for USB3.0 found) - haven't tested the "speed" yet.

But when I have something in front 1 x USB2.0 (now M$ wireless KB & Mouse dongle), and I connect any USB Pen drive (stick, (any brand or size) to any front USB3.0 ports, my mouse acts weird - really hard to use or point anything, bad response and moves in big leaps. IF I pull USB Pen drive away the mouse starts to work normally immediately. Same thing if I connect anything to back 2 x USB3.0, as I have connected Bluetooth dongle to one of four USB2.0 ports in the back.

Is this something IRQ related or something ?

Can you help me MaLdOn, please ?

#1 would be Super

#2 nice extra add (for #1?

#3 ?

Then my Hackintosh would finally be ready, I could start installing applications to it and start working with it.

and then I could also make that Support Donation to you via Paypal as you have helped me on my first Hackintosh.

Next one's will be more newer HW and all Intel based so I could just use your ready Images

[antonio.clb]

Hello to everybody!

I'm active on Insanely Mac's thread and yesterday I've successfully updated my Z620 to Catalina 10.15.2.

Everything looks fine after a LILU/WEG update and AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext to avoid KP on boot.

PM looks working well without any AICPM patch (used Clover switch) and LegacyX86PlatformPlugin.kext in L/E (previously oin S/L/E, Catalina update moved it).

I've a question about XCPM, here's my relevant infos:

Mac-Pro-di-Antonio:~ antonio$ kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu

Mac-Pro-di-Antonio:~ antonio$ sysctl -n machdep.xcpm.vectors_loaded_count
0
Mac-Pro-di-Antonio:~ antonio$ sysctl -n machdep.xcpm.mode
0

 

MaLd0n could you please clarify me exactly what XCPM/XCPM_IPI are and why we have these results from sysctl commands?

At home, my i7 4770K Hackintosh gives "1" in reply to those commands (PluginType).

I can provide more infos and the output of RunMe.app on both machines if needed.

Here's the last two pages of the relevant thread on IM: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335860-guide-2018-z820-high-sierra-the-great-guide-sucess/?page=15

Good morning to all!

antonio.clb, would you be so kind as to share your EFI folder? I'm having some problems with USB 3 and sleeping on the Z620 with Catalina.

Hello!

Sleeping is not working at all (at least, never tried based on bilbo's guide on InsanelyMac).

USB 3 ha some issues (hub and/or devices not showing but working): I've solved this by installing a USB 3.1 Gen2 PCIe adaptor (ASMEDIA 1142/1543).

I'll share my EFI folder ASAP, I'm AFK...

Best regards and happy holidays!
