tk007b Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi folks, Two questions regarding OpenCore (I am running Big Sur on a Dell Latitude E7450) :- 1. When using OpenCore to boot into Big Sur, it crashes 2 or 3 time out of 5. I can attach logs but I cannot understand the inconsistency and just wondered if others suffered from this issue. 2. When I remove the -v from the config file, using TextEdit, it hardly ever boots. For example, I change:- <string>keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 darkwake=0 alcid=11 -v</string> to <string>keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 darkwake=0 alcid=11</string> I have also tried with a space at the end like this .. <string>keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 darkwake=0 alcid=11 </string> The bootloader recognises the lack of -v and boots 'silently', so it's definitely being picked up but why will it refused to boot ???? Should I be using a different editor tool ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 21, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2021 TextEdit might have corrupted the file. You may use apps like Xcode, ProperTree, or PlistEdit Pro instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk007b Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks Can't get ProperTree to work on my Big Sur, but i'll try one of the others you have mentioned Anyone know why ProperTree crashes Python when I open it on Big Sur ?

tk007b Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks Jake, Followed the instructions and now have ProperTree working Unfortunately, I get the same result taking out the -v with ProperTree .. all very confusing ?! Any ideas .. should I recreate the config.plist file ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted January 22, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2021 There are probably a few things to review given that your config looks like a mix of Dortania's settings + stuff carried over from a previous Catalina setup. For instance: SSDT-EC (which injects a separate EC device), yet your rename device ECDV to EC in your config file. You may also want to revisit those ACPI patches you appear to have carried over in relation to HPET, RTC and TIMR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
