AudioGod's ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING - Big Sur & Monterey Beta - OpenCore 0.7.4 EFI

[johnlietzke]

I used this EFI and updated to Monterey but booting is taking forever... any tips?
(to activate verbose mode during boot, do I have to add -v to boot arguments, right?)

Do you have a RX 6000 GPU? I believe the EFI has WhatEverGreen disabled. You may have to enable it.

Also you can try the original EFI. We’re you able to boot?

This build works flawlessly with the mobo x570-p prime + 3900x + 64 gb ram 3200mhz + rx580 and rt8111h chipset.

Download rt8111 v2.4.2 kext driver , change your smbios as said on the tutorial and dont.forget to edit config.plist and remove the

• SmallTreeIntel82576.kext and change for the lan driver needed.

From kext folder on efi/oc/kext, remove the smallTreeIntel82576.kext and change 4 the.correct one.

Restart and it will be fine with lan on web installer or full install method.

If u dont remove the smaltree.kext or any other kext from config.plist and it doesnt exist on kext folder, it will.not boot after opencore hdd selection

Hope it helps someone and always confirm the chipset from the lan driver.

I have a RX 5700 XT. Do I have to change anything?
Yes, I can boot, but it takes forever. Only in Monterey... Big Sur boots ok.

Remove agdpmod=ignore from the boot arguments.

But isn't the 5700XT a NAVI?

Monterey broke TRIM on some devices, mostly Samsung drives. This is most likely why it's taking longer to boot @vitorpvcampos

I tested it on a regular Adata SSD, but my main machine, with Biug Sur, is on a Crucial P5 Pro NVME (which I can't risk testing because I use it to work). But I'm suspecting the problem is the bluetooth or Wifi kexts I added.
Anyway, should I remove agdpmod=ignore with 5700XT?

You can reproduce the long boot times on Samsung NVMe SSDs on Big Sur by increasing the ApfsTrimTimeout in OC.
I suspect rather that Monterey broke the TRIM timeout instead as the SSDs were known to have TRIM issues before: https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/192

I am using the Western Digital SN850 NVMe and SN500 SSD. No long boot time on either of them.

I remember when selecting storage reading that Samsung has a proprietary TRIM that does not always pay well MacOS and are prone to excessive wear.

How long, rough estimate, are your boot times? I run now 0.7.6 with Samsung 970 evo nvme and I would say into the OS is about 25 sec from post

10 seconds at most with the password prompt.

 

[misterrm]

oh well.. i am on 12.0.1 with very similar amd build to yours and mine hackintosh takes like ~1min to boot after the post to the login screen. Hackintosh running stable tho. Wondering what i screwed up.

I exchanged the problem M2 Samsung 980 for Aorus 1T and Problem is gone .... Boot 10s

Did you try the EFI I modified to get the sensor in iStat Menus? Just want to ensure it works properly.

I can confirm Monterey 12.2 Beta 1 works the 0.7.6 EFI.

Did you use anything to migrate your old drive or just fresh install and time machine it

I used exactly this one. On Big Sur it's working fine (but I deleted the wifi and bluetooth kexts to "ensure" greater stability). In Monterey, the system was unstable, slow, boot time was also very slow...
As I use the machine to work (I work with Data Science, Machine Learning etc.), I stayed with Big Sur.

It appears it is the TRIM on the Samsung drives that is causing the slow boot in Monterey and not the WIFI/Bluetooth Kext.

I had periodic freezes with this efi. like once in every 20-30 minutes. i noticed this in games like StarCraft 2 for mac. I solved them in my case with adding https://github.com/acidanthera/NVMeFix this to the efi config. i think it should be added as essential to the efi. so if others experience similar issues its because of your ssd is non apple. might solve all that slow boot issues. mine is 15 seconds with samsung 970 pro nvme ssd
