No USB: IvyBridge Config, OpenCore 0.5.9

I’ve followed the Dortania IvyBridge Desktop configuration guide (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/) as closely as possible for this computer:

  • Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
  • Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth X79
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2 GB

I believe this is a Sandy Bridge or Sandy Bridge-E in reality.

The good: I can boot my existing MacOs Catalina 10.15.6 installation.

The bad:

  • I have NO mouse or keyboard (or USB of any kind).
  • I cannot boot the installer 10.15.6 because it is on a USB thumb drive.

When I boot either installer or MacOs partition, I see the LED indicator on my thumb drive turns off.

The error message that I see that seems to be applicable is:

Waiting on <dict ID=“0”><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID=“1”>IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key><string ID=“2”>boot-uuid-…..>

For a glimpse of my EFI folder please see https://github.com/aaronpfoltzer/opencore

I have UsbInjectAll.kext in my Kexts folder and XhciPortLimit set to true. I thought this would temporarily allow USB ports to work until I did the actual USB mapping. My SSDT-EC is done manually but matches the output from SSDTTime anyway. I’ve tried different SMBIOS. (iMacPro1,1 which is what I am using now with Clover, but now iMac13,2 as recommended for IvyBridge Desktops).
