You'd be best to file against Lilu as we're not the maintainers of that extension:

mount the OCLP EFI partition and then copy the newer liliu.kext 1.5.8 in the EFI/OC/KEXT folder

[PaulSke]

Found it, thank you. Did you need to perform a complete reinstall of MacOS Monterey with the updated EFI or can I just use a drive with an updated boot loader?

Having the same issue with iMac9,1 after following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go6RTCHv4GA

@biho1 @PaulSke

Is it possible to provide a little bit more info on how to

mount the OCLP EFI partition and then copy the newer liliu.kext 1.5.8 in the EFI/OC/KEXT folder

?

My iMac was just printing "Lilu dev: @ failed to obtain model information, retrying..." over and over again, and now I shut it down.

Thanks 😊

Edit

I plugged my "Install macOS Monterey" usb key into my other mac to inspect the content with hope to find the EFI/OC/KEXT folder, but nothing yet.

I can layer this evening. Which version of OCLP are you using. I see they updated it to 1.5.8 in the 3.3. But I still had intermittent issues using that version

Thanks @PaulSke 🙏

The tutorial suggests using the "OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.3.1 TUI". I'll try again with v3.3 in the meantime and see if I have any success 💪

[biho1]

yes, the latest version of OCLP 0.3.3 has lilu.kext 1.5.8, so it should work out of the box

greetings Thomas
