Freezes and reboot after finish Sequoia instllation

[philby2530]

Good evening.

I just rebuild from scratch my sequoia installation USB to perform a fresh install.
My Hack: MSI MPG X570Gaming plus, Ryzen 9 3900X, 64 G mem, Sapphire Radeon RX 5700XT with 8G, NVME 970Pro 2G.
With the help of @Edhawk (big thanks to him) I managed to build a EFI that would start, install and run Sequoia.
But I have a stability issue. Firts boot, the system hung right after the choice of lnaguage in the setup application.
The second boot, the system let me finish the entire setup and then froze during the keyboard setup.
During the third boot, I was able to run geekbench 6 for CPU and GPU before the system crashed.
Fourth boot, second hung right after logging.

I just upload my EFI in case one of our Guru's could have a look to poit me in the right direction to fix the problam.
Many thansks.
Philby

Only issue I see in your EFI is that you have a custom UTBMap.kext in your /EFI/OC/Kexts folder and you have the Misc > Security > XhciPortLimit entry enabled in your config.plist. Disabling the XhciPortLimit entry is all I would change.

With regards your Hardware, the only thing I would change is the Samsung 970 Pro NVMe drive. As Samsung drives can be problematic when used as a macOS Boot drive. A Western Digital SX850X, SN850, SN770, SN5000 or SN580 would be a better option as a macOS boot drive.

Thanks a lot Edhawk. I'll try to reinstall Sequoia on a regular SSD. I cannot afford to buy a new NVME right now.
I'll report back the results. Thanks again. Joyeux Noël !!

Hello, after reinstall on a SSD, very weird behavior after flawless installation. System delogged inadvertantly asking to log in. Loss of the mouse and keyboard. System setting not showing up from time to time. And cherry on the cake, the system is terribly slow (I did enable the Shanee patch instead of the Algrey one but not making any noticable change). I give up for the time being on this rig. Santa may bring me tonight a brand new Mac mini M4. Thanks a million for your time and precious advices. I'll be back !!
