[FV2] Boot from external drive with enabled encryption

[dreamwhite]

• OpenCore version: 0.8.5

• Kexts version: don't think it actually matters but I'm using latest stable version of the followings:

  • AppleALC.kext
  • GenericCardReaderFriend.kext
  • Lilu.kext
  • NVMeFix.kext
  • SMCBatteryManager.kext
  • SMCDellSensors.kext
  • SMCProcessor.kext
  • VirtualSMC.kext
  • VoodooI2C.kext
  • VoodooI2CHID.kext
  • VoodooPS2Controller.kext
  • WhateverGreen.kext

Actual behaviour

OpenCore doesn't detect FV2 enabled encryption drives

Expected behaviour

OpenCore detects FV2 enabled encryption drives

Short description of the problem

Without any FV2 password, OpenCore is able to detect and boot FV2 drives, but whenever password encryption is enabled, OpenCore isn't able to detect the drives. Is this behaviour a thing that also real Macs have? Eventually can OpenCore be able to decrypt FV2 drives and boot from them?

Please provide logs, EFI configuration, OS version and machine info, OpenCorePkg should support FileVault 2 encrypted drives with a password. Both Macs using OpenCore and PCs are supported

I'm doing my tests on an external drive that is connected to my Dell Inspiron 5370. My EFI configuration is available here: https://github.com/dreamwhite/dell-inspiron-5370-hackintosh/tree/beta-testing OS version is macOS Ventura RC2 but I don't think the installed macOS version matters.

Instead, does it matter that I'm using an external drive with two APFS volumes (one for macOS and another one for TM)? I'm booting now with the logs. Give me a few mins

@khronokernel I forgot to mention that my EFI has serial numbers inside it. Can I send you an email with the logs? I'm kinda worried about spreading my serial numbers on a public website haha

[khronokernel]

Just strip serial numbers

Here you are the stripped log: opencore-2022-10-24-165054.txt

@khronokernel sorry for the bump, any update?
