Good afternoon guys. I've run into a few errors while doing a clean install of Sequoia 15 on my pc. The first error was connecting to the recovery server. I finally managed to connect after many attempts and restarts. But then once it starts installing it hangs around the 44 minute mark and this error comes up.

The operation couldn't be completed. (PKDownloadError error 8.)


I truly believe this has something to do with me connecting (or lack of connection) to the internet. My motherboard is an Asus Rog Strix x570-F and the network connection it uses is the "intel i211". I've read that this has become an issue since the SmallTreeIntel82576 ethernet kext doesn't work on macOS 12 Monterey or above. I use to have Catalina and it ran flawlessly.

Does anyone know of or have a fix for this that will work with Sequoia? The arguments that I'm using are
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 agdpmod=pikera alcid=1

I'm also using the appleIGB kext for ethernet. I will attach a copy of my EFI files. Thank you.

Here's the kext I use on my board. You also need to add the boot arg e1000=0

Your audio layout-id is wrong. You should be using alcid=15, as there is a custom layout in AppleALC.kext for our motherboard.

Make sure you are using AppleALC.kext v1.9.3 with Sequoia, which can be downloaded from the link below.
