Asus X670E Gene EFI -- Adaptable to Other X670, X670E, B650 and B650E Boards

[Lorys89]

The last EFI produced the same result, reboots. But I tried something different later: I removed the Kingston SATA drive from the pc and now it opens the opencore boot menu and I can choose the installer.

It now freezes in this screen (not sure why upload image is broken for me, so I am attaching it):

Do you use a compatible gpu or internal igpu with mb video outputs?

@jubarim,

Try the EFI posted by @Lorys89 above.

Also try the latest one attached to this post. This version includes an ACPI patch to fix this problem:



The patch has already been applied, and looks like this:

 

[jubarim]

Let’s keep things simple and use a 32GB USB 3.0 flash disk, not a SD card. The flash disk should be connected directly to a USB 3 port.

Sure, I did that - formatted a new 32gb usb 3.0 and the results were the same, the log output with some ACPI errors.

Do you use a compatible gpu or internal igpu with mb video outputs?

I disabled the AMD 7900X internal igpu in the BIOS, so I am using the outputs of the Radeon RX 6800 XT.

Hi Lorys, thanks for helping.

I tried it, it advances a little more, but after a while of the first screen, the cross mark appears and the chars in the screen get corrupted, as you can see in the attachments.

[CaseySJ]

The result is the same ACPI error.

We can disable the first ACPI patch:

And disable these:

The attached config.plist includes these changes.

The error in the second screen image is 'Still waiting for root device', which is usually related to a failed USB Port. Try using a different USB Port, preferably a USB 2 port.

The last line in the second screenshot says Still waiting for root device. This means macOS disconnected the USB flash disk. We can try installing it into a different USB port.

If you're using the @Lorys89's EFI, try disabling USBMap.kext as shown:

Forgive me, I forgot to turn off the kext usbmap

The result is the same ACPI error.

Do you show me method gpp7 pwr as it is on dsdt? I want to understand why you have to use the rename, thanks

 

[jubarim]

By the way, thanks in advance for all the help until now... I could not do any of this without your help.

Let me do the next tries and post you the results.

The original and patched DSDTs are attached. The original does not even open in MaciASL!

 

[Lorys89]

Does the patched version have the original or modified gpp7 pwr methods?

try my 1 efi

Patched version has two changes:

• GPP7 UP00 -> renamed -> UPXX
• GPP7 _PRW -> renamed -> XPRW

DSDT will not open in MaciASL until both of these renames are applied.

 

[Lorys89]

the rename is apply to method, i prefer is apply to name, and you?

 

[Lorys89]

the real bug is the name _prw not the method _prw

Good observation! Yes, the real issue is Name (_PRW..). This patch fixes it:

• Find: 53505257 01085F50 5257
• Replace: 53505257 01085850 5257
• Comment: GPP7 Name _PRW to XPRW

These are the 3 patches we should use, although patch 1 seems optional. We cannot open the DSDT in MaciASL unless patches 1 and 2, or 1 and 3 are applied.
