dctacsi Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hello. I used macOS ventura on Dell E7440. Once after just rebooting the system no longer loaded. The text in the attached picture is spinning to infinity. Anyone have any guesses as to what the problem might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dctacsi Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 I set csr-active-config from 03080000 to 00000000 and then did an nvram reset. After that it didn't even boot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 21, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2022 I just did the same, change csr-active-config to 00000000 and reset NVRam, I'm able to boot but lost graphics acceleration. I'm still able to boot though. Did you remove the bootarg -no_compat_check? ok, had to re-run the patch which means having to switch back the setting again. Looks like you'll have to repatch ever time you reset NVRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dctacsi Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 I did not remove "bootarg -no_compat_check". Should I have removed it? Since then I have reinstalled the system, but if I reset the SIP and then do a nvram reset, it won't boot for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 22, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2022 no, you need to leave it in if you want to use MBP11,4 as smbios Note: Machines running macOS Ventura or systems with non-Metal GPUs cannot enable SIP outright, due to having a patched root volume. Enabling will brick the installation. This is found in Dortania's guide for OCLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dctacsi Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 I kept the "bootarg -no_compat_check" option, but did not reset SMBIOS from MBP14.1 to MBP11.4. Should I have reset it? I do not fully understand what you wrote. I can't reset SIP via OpenCore, or can I reset it but only with OCLP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 22, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2022 Basically you need to keep SIP partially disabled with csr-active-config at 03080000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dctacsi Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Do I understand correctly then that it is fine as it is now in the picture, and I cannot enable SIP at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 22, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 22, 2022 As Jake said: leave SIP disabled (whether partially or fully), do not re-enable it (i.e. DO NOT set csr-active-config to 0). SMBIOS is irrelevant here, it's the OCLP patch for unsupported Haswell iGPU that requires SIP to be kept disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
