Issue with Virtualization (VT-x) Support in macOS Sonoma (OCLP)

Hi!

I’m experiencing an issue with the lack of virtualization (VT-x) support in macOS Sonoma, which I’m running on an iMac 27 mid 2010 using OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP). Despite having the EnableVmx option enabled in the config.plist file, the system still doesn't recognize the virtualization capability.

Configuration:

  • iMac 27 mid 2010
  • OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP)
  • macOS Sonoma
  • Updated config.plist

The Problem:

The system does not recognize hardware virtualization support, even though EnableVmx is correctly configured in the config.plist file.

Commands and Results:

Checking for Hypervisor Framework support:

In the terminal, I ran:

sysctl kern.hv_support

Result: kern.hv_support: 0

This indicates that hardware virtualization (VT-x) is not available.

Checking if the processor supports VT-x:

I ran: system.sysctl -a | grep VMX

Result: VMX
The processor does support VT-x, but it is not enabled in the

config.plist file:In the config.plist file, under APFS -> Quirks, I have the following entry:<key>EnableVmx</key> <true/>

Steps I’ve Taken:

  • Updated OpenCore Legacy Patcher to version 2.0.2.
  • Verified that VT-x is available on the processor, but macOS Sonoma does not recognize it.
  • Tried different configurations in config.plist, but nothing has worked so far.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue with virtualization not being recognized in macOS Sonoma using OCLP? Any help would be appreciated!
