Hi,

I am facing the issue of ACPI Sleep States s3 s4 s5. I followed the steps except that I didn't enable the multifunction. I also created an image with the EFI to boot from it instead of modifying the usb EFI.

It looks like my board only has a single USB controller, so I can't use USB in my VMs.
Is there a way to install macOS without using a USB stick?
I don't need gpu and audio in my VM.

Any thoughts on a recommended GPU.

Not gaming, just want something that works with macOS via VNC or RealVNC.

Thanks!

Thanks for this, you've got some good stuff happening here with your methods.

I'm not on UnRaid but was attracted by the promise of "No need to use ANY of the AMD patches"

Unfortunately I found out the hard way that the guide does not work... unless the following is done:

# echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs

I can only assume UnRaid sets up ignore_msrs by default.

For the sake of the next person who comes along and puzzles endlessly over why macOS won't boot, please document the dependency on this kernel parameter. Thanks!

In the libvirt xml there is the following:

<cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none' migratable='on'>
    <topology sockets='1' dies='1' cores='16' threads='2'/>
    <cache mode='passthrough'/>
    <feature policy='require' name='topoext'/>
  </cpu>

which is perfectly fine. But then further down is this:

<qemu:commandline>
    ...
    <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/>
    <qemu:arg value='host,vendor=GenuineIntel'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

The first XML chunk translates into a QEMU arg similar to this:

-cpu host,migratable=on,topoext=on,host-cache-info=on,l3-cache=off

The second translates into this:

-cpu host,vendor=GenuineIntel

This means 2 separate -cpu args are passed to QEMU and this is a big problem because the last one wins. The end result is that the contents of the first -cpu arg are lost.

Once the above issues are resolved, it turns out that macOS will not boot anyway. The only way I could get macOS to properly boot AND recognize host cache passthrough was by enabling 2 of the AMD Vanilla patches. Specifically,

algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package 12.0
algrey - _cpuid_set_cache_info - Set cpuid to 0x8000001D instead 4 - 10.13/10.14/10.15/11.0/12.0

Thanks
