dctacsi Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Hi there. On a Dell E7440 i7, I use the attached EFI with OC v0.6.8 and BigSur 11.5.2. They are not updating anything lately. But I wanted to yesterday. I updated the OC folder structure to v0.7.3 and updated the kexts with an OC configurator. Unfortunately, after a reboot, only the apple logo lights up and does not proceed. Could someone help me with what could be this mistake? How can I find out what the problem is? In the Clover Configurator there was an option to write out what was finally at boot time during the book, can you have this option here as well? Could someone possibly help with what could be the mistake? Thanks in advance for all the help! Dell-E7440-i7-EFI.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 25, 2021 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2021 have you tried enabling verbose mode to see where it hangs? add -v to the bootarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted September 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 26, 2021 Your screenshot shows that macOS is not even starting to load... You need to update your OC config so that it matches the v0.7.3 standards and requirements. That's the trouble with OpenCore, they change the way parameters and elements of the config must be defined and organised from one version to the other. Given that they release a new version every month, it can be a pain in the backside... There are threads at InsanelyMac that provide full recap of what's changed from version n to version n+1. I suggest you consult them all so that you suss out what you need to modify in your config. Do follow the monthly updates posted at Dortania too. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/782-opencore-releases/ https://dortania.github.io Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dctacsi Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Unfortunately, my English is pretty incomplete, but I’m trying to peel something out of it. Thank you very much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dctacsi Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 In the meantime, it has already been revealed that the bug is when upgrading from v0.7.2 to v0.7.3, but I don't know yet what ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlutoDelic Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It's the layout in loading the Tools (or drivers). You can use OpenCore Auxilary Tool which does the conversion for you. You need to pay good attention to Configuration Changes on every OC release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septendre Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 OpenCoreAuxilliaryTool (OCAT) would be of a great help in configuring the config.plist to wring out errors (google it). When you use OCAT, you have to update the 4 main programs of OpenCore (OpenCore.efi, Bootx64.efi, OpenRuntime.efi and OpenCanopy.efi) so they match the version of OCAT you use. When it's done, when you save the config.plist, OCAT verify it on the spot, and automatically arrange the missing values with the default settings. The first line in your screen capture states that a field is misconfigured. Further than that, your efi folder would be required to further states what's wrong. Dortania OpenCore guide (also to google) have an excellent guide explaining all the values and quirks of the config.plist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
