Hi,

Firstly, i am sorry, if i did enter into wrong category...cuz i am very new to Github.

I have a serious question about OCLP for macOS Monterey

i installed monterey 12.6.3 on my late-2009 macbook (unsupported) using Open core legacy patch 0.6.1.

After formatting, I then created 2 separate container partitions at the time of recovery via disk utility.
Installed monterey on one partition. And later, installed Linuxmint (with EFI boot, swap, ext4 primary) on second partition, and Linux mint was working smooth.

The next time when I reboot my pc, it boots directly into Monterey, that;s ok. But, when i want to work in Linux mint, I use Alt/Option key to select partition startup disk..but the partition is NOT visible. I can't select Linux partition, so it forces me to boot into Monterey.

My problem is NOT Linux booting, but partition which is not visible. If partition is visible, I can select Linux and it will boot. I hope you understand the problem...I am also attaching 3 images as reference

I would appreciate you to resolve this issue soon.

thanks

regards
David

Hi,

By NOT acknowledging and answering to the issue, indicates to me the genuine problem of OCLP EFI bootlaoder.

OCLP EFI Bootloader does NOT recognize any partitions, and this is not helpful to those working on separate partition. I hope you fix them.

So, i will move ahead and uninstall monterey for now, and move to Catalina with dosdude1 patch, which recognizes partitions well....

David
