** Experimental Version of RestrictEvents **
As discussed previously in this thread, when
RestrictEvents kext is enabled on an AMD platform, we lose the ability to perform
incremental macOS updates. Instead, the full 12GB installer is downloaded, which wastes network bandwidth, time and disk space.
The attached experimental version of RestrictEvents attempts to fix this problem. This is very much a work in progress and a handful of revisions will be needed until it works.
Do not expect this version to work. It is meant primarily to collect information.
Beta Testers Wanted:
Because I'm currently on vacation far from home, I don't have access to any of my systems. I'm working on my Apple Silicon 14" MacBook Pro as time permits. Volunteers wanted! Your mission, should you choose to accept, is far from impossible...
- Prerequisites:
- Must be running Ventura
- Must use MacPro7,1
- Must have an AMD AM4 or AM5 system
- Must be using RestrictEvents.kext in OpenCore
- Rename or backup your existing RestrictEvents.kext in EFI/OC/Kexts folder
- Download and copy the attached version into EFI/OC/Kexts
- Reboot
- After logging in, open Terminal and type the following:
Bash:
log show --last boot > ~/Documents/bootlog.txt
- This will generate a file in Documents folder called bootlog.txt
- Search that file for Casey
- Copy and paste any log line that contains that name
- If System Settings --> General --> Software Update shows that you have an available macOS update, feel free to try installing it, otherwise just copy your original RestrictEvents kext back and reboot
