Would anybody out there have a working EFI for the Asus Rog Strix TRX40 that works with Monterey? I have OC 0.7.4 working with Big Sur but it wont upgrade to Monterey. TIA.

If you've already got Big Sur working then just make sure it's upto date. Update OC, kexts and make sure you've got the latest patches present and you should be ok to update. Remember TRX40 doesn't need the PAT patch so you can disable them.

During the reboot after running the downloaded Monterey installer, it gets to this point then reboots again, but never gets past it (see screenshot).

Did you update the kexts as well?

Disable your USB map kext and try again. Do you have Above 4G enabled in the BIOS?

Disabled usb map kext. Confirmed above 4g enabled. Same behavior. Boots into Big Sur no problem. Starts to boot Monterey installer, then goes into reboot loop at point in the screen shot. I appreciate your assistance.

Try this EFI folder on a USB drive first.

I think Above 4G is not enough, if it's enabled, Resize Bar should be disabled as well.

I’m starting to think that either this particular model of board (Asus Strix TRX40-e) or maybe the TRX40 chipset has some incompatibility with Monterey. I have three of these boards and I’ve tried various EFI folders. I can get Big Sur to boot on all of them problem. But they absolutely will not boot Monterey at all.

Join the Discord server and speak to fabiosun. He has a TRX40 setup, not the same board but he knows his stuff when it comes to the platform.

I bought an Asrock TRX40 Creator. Monterey installed no problem with the EFI I was using for Big Sur on the Asus board. Something about this board incompatible with Monterey.

When your installation stuck on PCI configuration begin that means something is not compatible with macOS, like nvme/ssd/gpu/etc.
I have asus rog trx40 monterey installed , monterey dropped a lot of nvme/ssd and gpu and usb,
just try to install on external usb drive first when you done you would know what is the missing.

Assuming your system components are macOS Monterey compatible:

The most common cause of this kernel panic
  1. The boot argument npci=0x2000 not being present in the config.plist, or
  2. Above 4G Decode not being enabled in your bios.
Whatever you do, don't use the boot argument and the bios option together, as that causes a different issue.

Did you change SMBIOS when you installed Monterey? Check the USBMap.kext/Contents/info.plist uses the same system definition as your config.plist.
