macos Ventura stuck on apple logo (1/3 progress bar) with gpu passthrough

[biskero]

Hello,

I am have macOS Ventura installation done.
Now I tried to do GPU passthrough via PCI but I have macos Ventura stuck on apple logo (1/3 progress bar).

I n Hardware of the VM I have PCI set to RX 580 and Display set to VMware I get the following
In the console I get to selecting the MacOS drive, than gets into the Apple logo with progress bar stuck at 1/3.
On the 34" Display attached to the RX580 via HDMI I get the orange wallpaper of Ventura.


Any idea of how to debug or fix this issue?
Thxs

Hi,

Can you share the RX580 hardward settings associated to the VM
Are you running any other VMs?
How many Graphics cards are in the pc?
if you run the VM via Console (NoNVC) does it boot into Ventura?

boot in safe mode (-x from the opencore menu.) you'll see exactly when it hangs.

this is my config, only one rx580

It just stay in apple logo after I select MacOS drive

I do not have opencore menu as I finalize the macos installation via VMware when it was working without gpu passthrough.

try booting with command (⌘) + V as this should allow for verbose mode
or select UEFI Shell and type sudo nvram boot-args="-v" which will allow for booting in verbose mode.

I would suggest reducing your Memory / RAM slightly that is assigned to the VM as you should retain some for Proxmox

I have 128GB real is 131 and assigned 8gb to proxmox which is running fine.

About those ommand (⌘) + V or sudo nvram boot-args="-v", none are working.
The sudo nvram boot-args="-v" on the UEFI shell are not recognized as commands

try ctrl+V+enter when selecting the MacOS drive

ok I got something

I do not have opencore

start over with opencore.

Looks like a potentional kext issue with bluebooth, is your motherboard compatiable with MacOS?
if you look for apple keystore operation failed there should be a solution.

yes the motherboard works fine with macos, I had it running with clover and also with proxmox with display set to VWare and without pci passthrough for GPU. Very slow response of course !
Currently it is not working since I am trying to set passthrough for GPU and the only configuration that I am getting something out it is this but it gets stuck. I will check what's going on with bluetooth, thx

 

[biskero]

I had setup bluetooth like this video and not I revert it back but same issue.

Maybe I will need to check the Opecore configuration of the EFI ?

What installation method did you use to install your MacOS? If opencore you should follow https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/applekeystore-operation-failed-issues.319570/ or similar

Also if you unplug the Bluetooth USB does it boot?

 

[biskero]

I followed this video
Also if you unplug the Bluetooth USB does it boot? No same issue!

The guide I had followed
https://www.nicksherlock.com/2022/10/installing-macos-13-ventura-on-proxmox/#more-1349
- it has an additional args that is added to the conf file of "-global ICH9-LPC.acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support=off" not sure if this will make a difference

 

[biskero]

I got that in the conf file. IS that to turn off hotplug? I have something in the motherboard bios about hot plug, I will check.

Is your Grub setup correctly to ensure the GPU is not being used for display by Proxmox?

yes I made sure the kernel would use vfio driver and not the amdgpu

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] (rev e7)
Subsystem: Sapphire Technology Limited Radeon RX 570 Pulse 4GB
Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
Kernel modules: amdgpu

I tried to remove the bluetooth from the EFI plist from opencore, removed from usb but same issue.
