Systemd-boot distributions like Pop!OS will have to do things differently. We’ll be covering Grub 2 here because it’s the most common. The best way of going about this is changing your kernel commandline boot options, which you do by editing your bootloader’s configuration files. Once you’ve enabled these features, you need to tell Linux to use them, as well as what PCI devices to reserve for your vm. These features are usually titled something like “virtualization support” “VT-x” or “SVM” - IOMMU is usually labelled “VT-d” or “AMD-Vi” if not just “IOMMU support.” The exact name and locations varies by vendor and motherboard. Provided you have hardware that supports this process, it should be relatively straightforward.įirst, you want to enable virtualization extensions and IOMMU in your uefi. Vega and Fiji seem especially susceptible)

300 series cards may also have Mac OS specific compatibility issues.

A card without the Reset Bug (Anything older than Hawaii is bug free but it’s a total crap-shoot on any newer card.

AMD’s refresh cycle makes this a bit more complicated to work out, but generally pitcairn chips and newer work fine - check your card’s bios for “UEFI Support” on techpowerup to confirm.

A google search to make sure your card is compatible with Mac OS on Macs/hackintoshes without patching or flashing.

Cards older than the 700 series may not have UEFI support, making them incompatible. High Sierra works up to 10 series cards, but Mojave ends support for 9, 10, 20 and all future Nvidia GPUs.

A second discrete GPU (HEDT and F-sku CPUs only).

Mainstream and budget chipsets only, HEDT unaffected.)

#MAC OS X VM ON AMD PROCESSOR PATCH#

ACS patch (only needed if you have many expansion cards installed in most cases.

A second discrete GPU (most AMD CPUs do not ship with an igpu).

ACS patch (lower end chipsets or highly populated pcie slots).

Most recent available bios (ThreadRipper).

Bios prior to AGESA 0.0.7.2 or a patched kernel with the workaround applied (Ryzen).

The most recent mainline linux kernel (all platforms).

Recent versions of Qemu (3.0-4.0) and Libvirt.

The guest GPU also needs to support UEFI boot.

If you plan on passing multiple USB controllers or NVMe devices it may also be necessary to check those with a tool like lspci. You can work around this problem if you already have 2 of the same GPU, but it isn’t ideal.

You can check here (or here for AMD) to confirm you have 2 different device IDs. Usually this means just 2 different models of GPU, but there are some exceptions, like the AMD HD 7970/R9 280X or the R9 290X and 390X.

A CPU that fully supports virtualization extensions (most modern CPUs barring the odd exception, like the i7-4770K and i5-4670K.

A motherboard that supports IOMMU (most AMD chipsets since 990FX, most mainstream and HEDT chipsets on Intel since Sandy Bridge).

#MAC OS X VM ON AMD PROCESSOR INSTALL#

A working install from part 1 of this guide, set up to use virt-manager.The vast majority of laptops are completely incompatible with passthrough on Mac OS. If you’ve arrived here without context, check out part one of the guide here. With that out of the way, let’s talk about what you need to get 3D acceleration up and running: If you find glaring errors or have suggestions to make the process easier, let us know on our discord.

#MAC OS X VM ON AMD PROCESSOR UPDATE#

The AMD kernel is only built for 10.15.0 and you will break your virtual machine if you update it.We’ve made every attempt to make this as straightforward as possible, but there’s a lot more ground to cover here than in the first part of the guide. ICloud, iMessage, FaceTime & Siri will not work at all.ĭo not update you virtual machine. You will need to do some tweaking to the virtual machine, which you can find in the "Post Installation Tweaks" page. The Mac App Store does work, but it will not work straightaway.

#MAC OS X VM ON AMD PROCESSOR PRO#

That means that apps like Final Cut Pro will not work at all on this. Things like the Launchpad will be extremely laggy, the Dock will be opaque and the virtual machine will not have multiple monitor support. You can use CPU-Z to check these if you're not sure.ĭue to VMware's graphics acceleration not being compatible with macOS, you will not have any graphics acceleration in your virtual machine. If you have an older CPU, again you should double check. Your CPU also needs to support the SSE4.1 instruction set in order to run macOS Sierra and newer. Modern CPUs will definitely support this, but if you have an older CPU, you may want to double check. Make sure that Virtualization/AMD-V is supported by your CPU and is enabled in your BIOS. Modern CPUs = Anything made from 2010 and onwards

I see that you want to make a macOS VM in VMware on your AMD CPU but have no idea how or you need a macOS virtual machine.
