Request: Samsung 970 Evo Plus #48

Closed xqq closed 5 years ago

970 Evo Plus is a recently released product by Samsung which is the updated version of 970 Evo. The 970 Evo works well with hackintosh but, seems that the new 970 Evo Plus has something to do with it.

In my situation, The macOS 10.14.3 installation into 970 EvoPlus can never be successfully done. It will always result in a kernel panic followed by a reboot: (origin IONVMeFamily.kext without patches)

void AppleNVMeRequestTimer::PrintPending(): 251:QID=1 Deadline=37863793983 DW8=005A0002 DW11=00000000 DW12=00000307 DW13=00000000 DW14=00000000 DW15=00000000
: panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffff7f98c86172): nvme: "Fatal error occurred. (.........omitted)"
(omitted) /IONVMeFamily-387.238.1/IONVMeController.cpp:5327

The crash log shows that some NVMe command may became timed out. It may be a bug of 970 EvoPlus's firmware, or caused by the incompatibility within Apple's IONVMeFamily driver.

Other users are also reporting with system hang or crash reboot.

It might be able to solve through an IONVMeFamily patching, or not. In my opinion it may become a troublesome work, or maybe unsolvable. But hope there is anyone to investigate for this.

any news?

I would also be very grateful for a fix or workaround for this issue. Even just trying to use the disk under macOS results in kernel panic (I actually use it as a Windows drive which I mount using Paragon NTFS on macOS).

Still having this issue... was running in circles pulling my hair until I stumbled over this.

It's said that upgrading to the latest firmware will fix this problem;

trevjonez commented 5 years ago

I can confirm once you update the firmware the drive works fine. image

kennym commented 5 years ago

Same here - I'm using it right now as we're speaking as my boot drive. No problems so far :-) glad Samsung fixed this.
