Hi. I was using my computer with Sonoma 14.6 without any issues. Today I've just wanted to clean install sonoma so I have created an installer USB via createinstallmedia command. Anyways while erasing the disk I've accidentally erased the whole disk with all its partitions so my EFI is gone. Stupid me, I have no backup of the EFI.

So I've created a new EFI to install Sonoma. With the EFI I've attached, I can boot the installer and pass the first phase of installation. After the first reboot and see the internal "macos installer" my computer reboots. When I see the log file I see EB|LOG:EXITBS:START. I have tried everything in the EB|LOG:EXITBS:START section of the Dortania's guide. Nothing had worked.

I have my old SSDT Usb Mapping file (aml). I have created the other three AML files via SSDTTime from live linux.

Can anyone check my EFI please? Thank you.

Asrock B450 Fatality ITX Board (latest 2024 bios) and all my Bios settings are correct because it was still running with OC 1.0.2 until today's disaster.

When I built my Hackintosh five years ago, Apple didn't really have any good and affordable options. With the Mini refresh and other stuff in the pipeline, I'm glad there are. Depending on the moment Apple truly switches macOS to native silicon only I will keep my rig updated - I'm not that interested in the AI additions anyway.

Thank you. Still the same. Installation's first phase is OK. After first reboot and seeing "Macos installer" on the local disk and continue to installation(seeing apple logo and progress bar) it resets again. And the same EXITBS:START.

I was using the 2024 beta bios. I reverted to 2022 release which is not beta. same.
I reverted to OC 1.0.2 which I was using before the accident. same.

Last night I just ordered a Mac Mini M4 Pro.

Dear fellow members of AMD-OSX Community, thank you for all your efforts to this day. I am out of this journey.
Hi @Havakak I'm checking in a little late on this being you are giving up, you may not even see this post. The newer versions of bioses that address the sinkclose vulnerability issues have also been an issue for other users. Very similar if not identical errors. The only known remedy to date is to downgrade the bios, in your case version 5.6 might do the trick. One obstacle could be is that It doesn't look like that board has a "Flash Back" USB port which might be necessary to downgrade. If it was me I'd try anyway, worst that can happen is more wasted time.
