philstopford Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm running a variant of Jake Lo's bootpack here with OpenCore 0.6.x and all seems to be well for Big Sur; updating OpenCore to the 0.7 series seems to block the machine from booting. It prompts for FileVault password and then gets no further. I tried the 7470 bootpack for OC 0.7.4 from Jake and it seems to get no further. I'm just wondering if there is a bootpack for this particular machine floating around, or whether it should actually work with the one for the 7470, but it's being stubborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 14, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2021 Did you have FileVault enabled? If so, make sure to include necessary updated drivers the E7470 bootpack would not work on the 7480, they are 2 different model with different generation of cpu /hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstopford Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 I rolled back and used QtOpenCoreConfig to update. That seems to be booting, although it claims various errors in the config file, but offers no fix for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 15, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 15, 2021 you mean update to OC0.7.6? post your new files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstopford Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 I removed the Intel wireless and BT kexts to get this under the size limit for attachment (those really are huge). This boots Big Sur 11.6.1 for me with FileVault 2, etc. OC075.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstopford Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 I've got a bootpack also that seems to kind of work with Monterey. I'll upload that shortly, but it has one thing missing - the existing bootpack from Big Sur I have uses/used the Windows key as the Apple key; the new one I'm working on seems to have this on the Alt key. I can't see what controls this in the config up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 16, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2021 you can go to keyboard preferences/modified keys and swap option with command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstopford Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Here's my WIP bootpack; not sure what setting is involved. No Intel Airport kext (used 2.1 alpha) due to the archive being largely than the permitted attachment size. 7480_Monterey_OC_r001-noIntelKext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 16, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2021 what's the question here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstopford Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 What setting am I looking for to switch the keys, really. That's what I couldn't find using OpenCore Configurator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
