Latest few commits do not let cMP5,1 boot

[startergo]

Describe the bug
No booting occurs through latest few commits and no log file is generated

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
Try to boot any OS

Expected behaviour
Expected to see the RP bootpicker or the login screen

Environment:

• RefindPlus Version : 0.13.0.AA (Pre-Release)
• Hardware
  • Computer : MacPro 5,1]
  • GPU Model : RX 580, GT-640 Mac EFI
  • GPU Port : DP
  • GPU Flash : YES-MacVidCards and regular RX-580. With or without MVC card same result except with the MVC card gray screen remains.
• Affected OS : Any Mac OS

Log and Config Files
No Log file is generated.

Additional context
Restored working RP (sorry don't know which revision), but chain loading with the MVC GT-640 OC Hangs. Attached please find the OC log file hang:
Archive.zip

After soft blessing OC directly it boots to the login screen. Attached the log file:
opencore-2021-02-24-231046.txt.zip

Sorry the working RP version is the RELEASE version so no RP log file is generated. Here it is attached. Maybe you can find out what version it is:
Refind_x64.efi.zip

Sorry the working RP version is the RELEASE version

Just to be clear, do you mean RELEASE works but DEBUG (same otherwise) does not?

No, I just don't have a backup of DEBUG version to provide the log. This comment only reflects the OC hang during chainloading. RP not booting is for both RELEASE and DEBUG versions (latest few commits I don't remember where it started)

Bug is said to be that RP is not booting and not logging since the last few commits:

No booting occurs through latest few commits and no log file is generated

I have just tested again and it works for me.
Can you clarify what the exact issue is as a bit lost?

It is that you don't see the boot screen when running RP?
Or you do and it hangs when boot Mac OS?

[startergo]

it is not booting and no logging occurs. It is similar to what I had with the MBP with the memory leak except there is no logging at all. If I use the MVC card I stay on the grey screen forever. With a regular card there is a black screen forever. I don't get to the boot selector at all.

[dakanji]

I see.

Try the attached current build.
If it also doesn't work, attach the last log file you have.

X110-BOOTx64.efi.zip

[startergo]

I just tried the rEFInd 0.13.01 and while it boots there were no partitions to select just the tools. Here is the config file which is just a copy of the RP file renamed
refind.conf.zip

[dakanji]

OK. Please test the previously attached file.

[startergo]

Same thing with the attached build. I have no previous undeleted logs.

[dakanji]

OK. Thanks.

Might be worth opening a ticket upstream since it seems RP appears to be behaving consistently with rEFInd.

[dakanji]

Same thing with the attached build.

One odd thing though ... the attached should not be able get to showing tools without outputting a log of progress up to that point.

I only see tools in refind nothing in RP.

OK. Either way though, there is an issue there.

Maybe test rEFInd with the RP specific tokens removed from the config to make sure there is no conflict. If there is still an issue, then best to open the ticket: https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/tickets/ (Seems tickets might be disabled. Might need to go into the forum)

@dakanji just tested X110 as requested. RP initiated fine and loaded bootpicker on my cMP5,1. See RP logs attached.

Thanks @CornCat78

@startergo Initially looks like it might be something specific to you.
rEFInd 0.13.1 has logging. Maybe activate this to gain some insight. If it runs up to the tools display, there should be output to show what's happening. I think Rod Smith will request this anyway.
