Gigabyte X670 Gaming X AX - Ventura 13.6.6 OC 0.99 Post Install Ethernet Realtec chipset not detected and can't be properly configured

[Mac Arthur]

Hi all,

Sorry @CaseySJ for polluting your initial post about your Asus X670 Gene, here is mine as many contributors tried to help me.
Config in signature
So far, on OC 0.99 I am able to successfully:

• Get the Ventura 13.6.6 Apple install menu
• Get the utility disk menu to format my internal SSD
• Go through the 1st steps of installation (17min then 29min...)
• Reboot on the macOS installer
• Reboot on the internal SSD (get rid off the macOS installer from the USB)

But then I continuously reboot on the last menu with either the Ventua installer or the internal SSD and never reach the Welcome screen of macOS "Choose your country".

This is exactly the same issue, whatever I try to install Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura or Sonoma.

Here are a few screenshots and the currently tested EFI which need to be corrected.
This EFI has been prepared:

• with the "generic" EFI from Casey (initial post updated to OC 0.94, latest one available from him)
• updated to OC 0.99
• All his recommendations regarding BIOS setup, MMIOs discovered, number of physical cores in CPU, RAM information, included in his first 3 posts have been followed.
• USB mapping has been done under Windows with USBTool box and relevant SSDT disabled, and kexts added.

The "tailored made EFI" is the one attached to the post.

I am looking for additional input as I no longer see what to further investigate...
Thanks a lot to those who already tried to help me... and welcome to new ideas I won't give up !

@CaseySJ same output, no Ethernet Lan detected.

@Shaneee I live in Cambodia.
To be honest I don't know how to extract and upload systems DSDT Enclosed my current EFI we are working on.
Thanks again for your time and help!

Download SSDTTime from here, https://github.com/corpnewt/SSDTTime

Option P will allow you to dump all ACPI tables.

 

[Mac Arthur]

@Shaneee Did not see option P, I guess it may be D?

So then what should I do?
Sorry I never used this...

 

[mariettosun]

@Mac Arthur are you using this ssdt?
in EFI i prepared for you they are unchecked...you shouldnt use Casey asus ssdt...

 

[mariettosun]

this is in EFI you posted..and it is fine


but SSDTime says a different thing if i am not wrong

 

[mariettosun]

@Mac Arthur
this efi extract your acpi table and you will find them in your booting efi folder(sys report enabled in opencore debug bootloader)
i have also cleaned many Uefi drivers you do not need in this debug phase
please keep clean your efi till you will win this challenge

Sorry I never used this...

Sorry I meant to say run it from Windows so that the ACPI tables are unmodified.

[Mac Arthur]

@mariettosun these are the one...

Some are unchecked as you suggested earlier
Don't worry I have this in the safety box.

@Shaneee I am going to do that under windows right now...

 

[mariettosun]

I am going to do that under windows right now...

if you use efi i posted above yopencore bootloader will extract your ACPI

 

[Mac Arthur]

@Shaneee So I restarted computer, boot windows, installed Python, downloaded SSDTTimeHere is attached the zip file.
Hope I was right.
Late for today!

 

[Shaneee]

Can you save an IOReg and upload please. Looking at the ACPI files I can't see why it won't attach.

 

[mariettosun]

MAYBE

@jan001232
explain please i do not understand
is this EFI useful for?
why a spoof of a GPU i see in DP?
and many other not useful things..to debug user problem

I am not trying to build a precise EFI file, but EFI adapted to maximum configurations. A global file that would allow installation on many different configurations. Some things that are not useful for one configuration may be useful for another configuration. All motherboards use approximately the same operating word.

Basically, I'm posting an EFI file that can work and with feedback (if it has one) on several different motherboards, I'm eliminating things that are blocking. The more elements there are in the EFI file = the more interesting the feedback.

 

[mariettosun]

i was asking also why you were quoting me posting that EFI
i disagree to build a multi purpose EFI but if for you is good it is fine also for me

Even if the installation is not perfect with the approximate EFI, it allows tracking of system behavior. And thereby saves time for constructing the final EFI.

Don't forget that the majority of people here are beginners (including me, my experience and 1.5 months in the world of Hackintosh) and you don't necessarily want to learn how to build exact EFI.

 

[mariettosun]

i repeat myself
i disagree but it is only a different opinion
to stay on topic
Efi you posted has too much kexts, too much Kernel patches and one important kernel patch for AM5 is disabled
but world is fine because there are different way to see or to approach a problem

I would be happy to chat a little more with you. It allows me to divert attention from my work. For some users, this may be interpreted as inappropriate for the post subject. Thank you for your time and Good night.

 

[Mac Arthur]

Well let me thanks you all again, it's a long foggy journey but I never give up...

To sum up
- I am currently booting from this EFI since I got it working to finalize the Ventura install (attached).
@mariettosun the EFI you recently posted above leads me to the pickup of OC but then after Ventura selected the boot starts and goes back to OC menu (No idea if you changed something in a wrong way, so many versions to follow-up the case... no worries you are of course forgiven) and yes NVRAM reset before each boot

• As requested ACPI and IORegistry files
• Still no Ethernet connection through original Lan Realtek port
• I am currently writing from this hack through USB-C 10/100/1000 LAN but beyond not being satisfactory I often get self-assigned IP when rebooting and need to unplug

Happy Sunday to all of you and thanks again

Now I'm even more confused. From looking at your PCI Devices output we know that the LAN IOReg name is "DP30@6/EP00@0". We can see that in your IORegistry,

IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/GPP7@2,1/IOPP/UP00@0/IOPP/DP40@8/IOPP/UP00@0/IOPP/DP30@6/IOPP/EP00@0/LucyRTL8125

That's the strange part. LucyRTL8125 is loaded onto it. I'm thinking though the built in MediaTek WiFi is causing the issues. As its IOReg name is "DP38@7/EP00@0" possibly confusing the system.



Bit more searching. Similar thing here. By disabling/removing the unsupported WiFi card the LAN started working in macOS, https://forum.amd-osx.com/threads/help-me-with-rtl8125.4626/page-3#post-33091

 

[Mac Arthur]

I am really sorry to make you confused
Sounds we found the root of the issue?
So what should we do? ;-)

 

[Shaneee]

Disable the WiFi card in the BIOS if you can or physically remove it from the Motherboard.
