MP 1,1-5,1 cMP can no longer boot Mojave with OpenCore?

[Mike Richardson]

I am getting an error that says "This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform! Reason:Mac-27AD2F918AE68F61".

I have an NVMe drive that is partitioned with both Monterey and Mojave. It used to boot Mojave fine a long time ago, when I first installed OC?

If I google "27AD2F918AE68F61" it seems to be the identifier having to do with a MacPro7,1 and this is what I see in my EFI/OC/config.plist file.

I'm not sure why this identifier is being used (I seem to recall a guide online that recommended pretending to m. I think I was trying to get accelerated video to work with my RX580 (which it does right now).

I don't want to try another identifier in fear of bricking the boot unless someone else can report that such identifier works for them.

I also don't want to break acceleration in Monterey.

Adding -no_compat_check to boot-args did not help at all.

you need to do that in the OC config.plist

you need to do that in the OC config.plist

Indeed - you are spoofing a MacPro 7,1 in your config.plist and Mojave is not supported on the 7,1...

Change the board ID to Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94.

Both Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 and Mac-27AD2F918AE68F61 can be used to fully activate HWAccel for your RX580.

But Mac-27AD2F918AE68F61 doesn't support Mojave.

The downside to use Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 is that iMac Pro only has one build in monitor. Your graphic card's framebuffer may be affected. Therefore, you should also add agdpmod=pikera into the boot argument to alleviate this issue.

But if your monitor stay black after switch to Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94, try other ports first. Some of the ports usually still working.

This is an example of how to change from Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 to Mac-27AD2F918AE68F61. What you need to do is the other way around (and add agdpmod=pikera into the boot argument).

Looks like I am using Open Core Legacy Patcher (it was also out of date so I went ahead and updated it).

Selected iMacPro1,1 to spoof as and rebooting to Mojave now.

Edit: Now in Mojave. The other day I just wanted to play a game, this time I needed to format a spinning drive with HFS Extended Encrypted and they took all those options away, even though it mounts just fine.

Thanks for the info about the dual displays also. I'm only using 1 right now but I have had a dual setup before.

Format the drive, not the partition / container.

You cannot format a partition inside an APFS container to HFS+.

But you can format the drive itself to HFS+.
