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

[lukakeiton]

• Hi, This is My EFI modified from you, change to Inel WiFi，at the second time，it stop at the MacOS Log in，after Log in the system reboot, at the third time it Log in successfully. but the ethernet seems linked, but the internet speed is very slow. and most time it reboot to the OC pick windows or Monterey, repeat many times. I don't know why.

I have checked you refi and I have discovered some posible mistakes:
1- You need to load in a properly order the kexts you add to your config.plist. I mean, with respect to Intel bluetooth wifi, you should follow this load order:

• BlueToolFixup.kext
• IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext
• IntelBTPatcher.kext

2- You are using AppleIGB.kext instead SmallTree, as recommended here due to you have a x570 motherboard.

Also, remember to update your BIOS to last revision and set BIOS settings.

Thanks lukakeiton, I will try Tomorrow.

 

[coralding]

I Have tried today，the same problem.

 

[lukakeiton]

I Have tried today，the same problem.

That's weird. So, let's go back to basics.

Create an EFI without wifi, bluetooth or ethernet. Compare my config.plist with yours and check if everything is correct. I think this unknown mistake is related with config.plist.

To do this, download a new opencorepkg release from GitHub and create your config.plist manually. Only use a plist editor such as PlistEdit Pro o ProperTree.

Install Notes
Using PlistEdit Pro, Xcode or ProperTree add your details by modifying the following

WIFI / BLUETOOTH​

IF NOT USING A BROADCOM INTEL-WIFI PCI-E CARD

If you are using internal Intel wifi-bluetooth, use Intel wifi-bluetooth kext. Just enable the two intel-related entries under Kernel -> Add and disable the two entries which start with Brcm. Also rename USBMap.kext to USBMap(Broadcom).kext and rename USBMap(with Intel BT).kextUSBMap(with Intel BT).kext to USBMap.kext

GPU​

IF NOT USING AMD RX 6950 XT SERIES

Remove EFI/OC/ACPI/SSDT-GPU-6950XT.aml and remove it from conflig.plist ( ACPI -> Add ).

IF NOT USING AMD RDN2 GRAPHIC CARD

Remove agdpmod=pikera from bootflags.

CPU​

IMPORTANT - PATCH INFO FOR SETTING THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the two algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.

Changing BA000000 0000/BA000000 0090* to BA <CoreCount> 0000 0000/BA <CoreCount> 0000 0090* substituting <CoreCount> with the hexadeciamal value matching your physical core count.

Note: The three different values reflect the patch for different versions of macOS. Be sure to change all three if you boot macOS 10.13 to macOS 12

See the table below for the values matching your CPU Core Count.

CoreCount	Hexadecimal
6 Core	06
8 Core	08
12 Core	0C
16 Core	10
32 Core	20

So for example a 6 Core 5600X would result in these replace values, BA 06 0000 0000/BA 06 0000 0090
Or a 12 Core 5900X that I have it setup as standard would result in these replace values, BA 0C 0000 0000/BA 0C 0000 0090

Thanks so much. Everything is Ok but I have problem with shutdown/power off. When I try to power off every times I have to wait for 1 min and then is a restart not shutdown/power off. Do you know how to fix it?? Thanks in advance. ( excuse me my poor english) .

Can you post your EFI? With your info, I can't do anything.

 

[ennoclao]

Thanks so much Lukakeiton, I have your efi ( without modification ). My computer is the same as yours, except for the graphics card ( 6800XT). The same motherboard, the same cpu, the same memory but I have a multiple usb controller.
Here is my efi.
Everything work Ok but I only have problems with shutdown. Thanks in advance. ( and excuse me for my poor english).

I have used the EFI-0.8.8, everything is OK .
Thanks for lukakeiton.

 

[Galve2000]

is it safe to update to Ventura 13.1?

I am using OC 0.87

Yes, it is. I also recommend you to update OC.

 

[Galve2000]

Yes, it is. I also recommend you to update OC.

Can I update while keeping OC 0.87 ?

my system is super stable. I am reluctant to mess with a good thing.

Yes, you can. But if you have a stable system, you can always try on other hdd/ssd.

February OpenCore 0.8.9

There will be no OpenCore update for February 2023. I will be out of town for the entire month without access to my Hackintosh.

The majority of changes in OpenCore 0.8.9 pertain to legacy boot of MacOS and Linux.

v0.8.9

• Improved debug logging when applying ACPI patches
• Fixed loading macOS with legacy boot without Apple Secure Boot
• Added Linux support to legacy boot BootInstall script

Given the lack of new features for users of Ventura and Monterey the benefits of a Pre-Release version of OpenCore 0.8.9, prior to leaving, seems negligible and has the potential to introduce unnecessary complications with no obvious improvements for the Asus X570 and B550.

In addition, I am considering migrating new release distribution downloads to GitHub next month for a more coherent and concise method of obtaining older versions of OpenCore for the Asus X570 and B550. Download links would still be posted in this forum monthly.

Regular updates will resume in March 2023.

I see no reason why Ventura 13.1 would have problems with 0.8.7 at this time.

 

[Galve2000]

I was messing around with GPU Spoofing on my Asus X670E Hero 7950X MacPro that has been a total pain to get Monterey installed on and when I cam back to my older 5950X/X570 build I noticed something funny in the About This Mac section:



I do not have a 7700X, I have a 5950X on this system.

As far back as Monterey the About This Mac section listed the correct processor info.

I don't know if it was updating to Ventura that made the change.

the only other thing I could think of was that @CaseySJ asked me to try an Audio Patch that was needed for the 7050X on my 5950X system in oder to "beta test" on as many configurations as possible.

he gave me an OpenCore.efi file to try,

I didn't make any changes to my Config.Plist, or add any kexts.

well, that's not true -- he also helped me patch the Aquantia 10 Gig ethernet port (works beautifully) and the Intel I-225-V 2.5 Gig ethernet port (also works beautifully )

any idea what might have caused the About This Mac section to display the processor as Ryzen 7 7700X ?

@Galve2000

I do not have any CPU describing entry in the second line of my NVRAM section:



Where could this Ryzen 7 7700X info come from? I did a quick Cntrl-F in Propertree looking for "7700" and came up short.

I guess it is cosmetic, but it is annoying b.c I have older screen shots where the processor was listed correctly.

is it necessary to add this info for Ventura or later versions of OC? I am using 0.87 on this machine I believe.
