CELES Post Install Workaround Possible (Linux)
If you experience issues in applications such as Parsec, or encounter disruptive freezes, adding the kernel parameters clocksource=hpet hpet=force
may fix your problem. The following instructions assume you are using GRUB, and will be different for other bootloaders. Do your own research on how to set kernel parameters in your bootloader if these do not apply.
- Edit
/etc/default/grub
with your preferred text editor (e.g. nano). - Add
clocksource=hpet hpet=force
inside of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and save your changes. If you exclude either parameter, this will not work. Use sudo, su, or doas if necessary. - Type
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
orupdate-grub
into a terminal and press Enter. Use sudo, su, or doas if necessary. - Reboot
macOS
- Remove Verbose
- OpenCore GUI Setup
- Disable
DevirtualiseMmio
