Need help with macOS Sequoia on Ryzen 9 9950X (OpenCore Boot Failure)

[Edhawk]

I am sure any comments about your EFI folder were meant to be constructive, not negative.

I will have a look at this later today.

I have reached a point where I can boot into the installation section for Sonoma, but neither Disk Utility nor the Installer can see USB drives. I had the NVMe SSD drive attached via USB, mostly for convenience to move it to another computer. Once I placed it into the NVMe port, it worked and I am currently doing my first install.
However, I need information on how to set up OpenCore to see the USB ports on a ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E Gaming WiFi.
If there are instructions regarding this, please let me know where they are located.
Thank you

Hi you should re-check starting from here
In Latest EFI you added stuff you do not need
USB mapping must be done to see your audio and all USB port you use
If your motherboard has USB audio you do not need any kext for it (APPLEAlc i mean) no layout id and similar stuff
You miss then a useful quirk for X670/X870 platform (SetVirtualMap in booter quirk)
Also you have resizebar set to 0, so you must have resizebar on on your motherboard bios setting

I’m trying to run macOS Sequoia installer using OpenCore on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (ASUS ROG X870E-E Gaming motherboard, 64 GB RAM, RX 6900 XT).





I’ve gotten to the point where it shows the Mac and Windows partitions to boot, but it keeps hanging during the boot process. I am enclosing copies of the verbose output, config.plist, the OpenCore output file and EFI folder.





I definitely need help fixing this. Thank you.

Hi @pvford55 if you see this EFi is worst than previous one you use and it does not start Opencore booting process
You miss an important part for asus motherboard (ACPI patches for bios done by CorpGhost or also @etorix if he has some time to do )

You should add those patches to this config i modified for you
If you post the patches we put on previous config i can add to this config.plist
with this config posted now you should pass that hang/stop you have now but you should see also ACPI Errors that need a fix as i said and as we did before

I have succesfully booted in to Sonoma but I have several post installation issues.
If this is the wrong forum please tell where to go, and also which forum is appropriate.

The most significant issue that I know of, is after a certain amount of time, the system tries to reboot. I suspect there is a problem with sleeping and hibernation that trigers this.

Less serious, but annoying, is that I never see the Apple logo with the scroll bar, so it looks like the system hung.

Also I need to work on my USB ports. Some that I like to work don't, but at least I got the USB-C ethernet adapter working so I can access the internet. Enlcose Config.plist and 2 of the OpenCore Debug text clean up to remove excess <nulls>.

Thank you

This message. You said you booted in SOnoma so you must start from here adjusting things from here I mean
Sonoma/Sequoia should work fine with minimal adjustment in bootloader and Kernel Patches

The DSDT is needed to investigate ACPI patches, but the patches in this post have been designed against Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming, among other boards, so there's hope they may still work for a ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming. (How do they come up with these crazy names???)

 

[fabiosun]

Corpghost did patches for this user and motherboard.. I do not know if he took other patches in a other place because also latest efi is changed in a wrong way

Subject: Help debugging post-install black screen on Sonoma (Ryzen / OpenCore)

Hello again everyone,

I've reached the point where I can successfully boot the macOS Sonoma installer, complete the installation, and after several reboots, reach what appears to be a full installation of Sonoma.

However, when attempting to boot into the installed OS, the system hangs on a black screen — sometimes right after the Apple logo appears — and after a long delay, it automatically reboots.

I’ve attached a cleaned-up version of my OpenCore boot log, along with my config.plist and full EFI.zip.

My suspicion is that my config.plist is still a mess, since I have many issues editting it — but at least I’m finally getting to the point where it starts to boot.

I’d appreciate any help in identifying what might be wrong, or suggestions on where I should post these questions if this isn’t the appropriate subforum.

Thank you for your time and expertise!

— Patrick

Yes some mess also in this EFI
If you like, backup yours and use this one attached:

if you use it in initial boot menu reset/clear Nvram
then choose your booting icon and click on it with ctrl key pressed and left mouse butto on icon to fix your os booting icon (it useful when you reset Nvram to do one time)
and cross finger because this revisited EFI should work also in Tahoe OS

I have tried this EFI, and after multiple attempts and without modifications to it, but to the target disk and resetting NVRAM several times, I have reached the point where MacOS boots and want the setup information.

The mouse works, but the keyboard does not, so I cannot enter in text. I have move the keyboard to several different USB ports without success. I was planning on working on getting the port settings correct at the same time I was moving to the OC release from OC debug.

Is there something I can modify so the keyboard is seen? It is a standard MicroSoft US keyboard.

Thank you

I attaching the OC output as Clean3.txt (removed nulls) and a ChatGPT analysis.

@pvford55 have you tried to move your keyboard on usb mouse working port ( only to see after so long time your is up and running? )
Now you should try to map well your usb ports from Windows or find a pretty similar usb port configuration than yours from other users

 

[fabiosun]

If you like you can try these configs and see if something change
I see you have an USBport kext but it is not working for you and maybe it is not done for your mothrboard
