Replace USB controllers with `qemu-xhci` for macOS Sonoma support #105

Closed manuth closed 8 months ago

manuth commented 8 months ago

Changes made in this commit will fix #103 by replacing the ich9-echi1 controller with a qemu-xhci controller as recommended on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/macOSVMs/s/kzSuQrgOgt.

Setting the address of the controller to <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x01" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/> (virt-managers default), causes USB devices to not be picked up.

For that reason, the address from this repository was used, which seems to work out just fine: <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1d' function='0x0'/>.

Unlike recommended on Reddit, the ports does not seem to be necessary. macOS 14.4 works just fine with the changes made in this PR.

When I limited the ports as recommended on Reddit (by adding ports='7' to the controller-tag), I also had to set UEFI -> ProtocolOverrides -> HashServices to true in OpenCore's config.plist file. Otherwise, a notification "Volume Hash Mismatch" notification was shown each time I booted up the VM.
