Hi,
Can anyone say if it possible to install Mac OSX Sequoia on my build.
I have Asus B650-e Motherboard with Rayzen 9 7950x3D CPU with built in Radeon graphics. 16gb memory.

I have always used Intel in the past and I can get my usb to boot on my old intel PC but I can not get it boot from ADM system. I have followed all the steps for Opencore to create the boot loader with all the latest patches for AMD. But the system reboots after start. I have attached system log file and my EFI folder on USB. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think I have corrected what you pointed out. It boots ok now without and DSDT, but it still will not install beyond 12 min remaining. Just a couple of observations I made:

1. Reason for screen going blank seem to be my HDMI cable. I swapped to Display port and it seems to boot ok to installer.
2. In the patch you provided the device PCI root is listed as :
_SB.PCI0.GPP7.UP00.DP58 NoOp to force-enable

but I checked my PCI root path in windows and it came out as :

Location Paths

PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0101)#PCI(0000)#PCI(0000)#PCI(0000)
ACPI(SB)#ACPI(PCI0)#ACPI(GPP0)#ACPI(SWUS)#ACPI(SWDS)#ACPI(VGA_)

Bios device name
\_SB.PCI0.GPP0.SWUS.SWDS.VGA


I have not tried to change the PCI path in my config.plist fearing it may effect other values.
Not sure if this would make any difference to why it freezes @12 min remaining. I would be greatfull if you could have a look at my attached EFI to see what is missing/wrong
Thank you.

it seems you not followed well
MMIO arent as i said and also you are using some kext usuful only if you patch your OSX with OCLP (Opencorelegacy patcher)

this also is wrong for a clean installation

Kernel patches are fine by now but other stuff no

THANK YOU>>>>>>>>>>>
Just by changing this I was able to install OS.
THANK YOU

As for kexts, I knew I needed Lilu , VirtualSMS & Whatevergreen form OpenCore guide, others I just added them because everyone else seems to have them in their folder.
What exactly do I need for clean install?
After installing my network card did not work nor did WIFI. which kexts do I need for them?
Once again I am very grateful to everyone who has helped me specially @fabiosun , without your input I would have been lost.
best regards
 
I thing I have done what you suggested now, I made a mistake in understand which side of MMIO page was correct. I have corrected that now and removed all the kext you suggested was not wanted. it still seems very hit & miss in booting, have to try many times before it actually boots into system, most of the time it just restarts.

This is my first post of my new AMD Mac . OHOOOOO
got network card working, at least I got something to play with, will try to sort wifi if I can. Do you think I might need a patch for WIFI? also any suggestion how I can improve the startup.
Many thanks for your help.
best regards

for restart problem
Try to disable your iGpu from bios or disable it via ssdt
Also you can try with/without whatervergreen bootarg pikera
Wifi if atheros is not compatible i think
Intel or broadcom yes with kexts or oclp patches
 
Thank you for your kind help. I got everything working now except onboard Wifi and BlueTooth. I have done some search but cannot see anything related to my board. Any pointers to what I need to do to get wifi working even if bluetooth doe not work?
Thanks
 
o what I need to do to get wifi working even if bluetooth doe not work?
you have this
MTK_7921_7922_7902 WiFi

That is a MediaTek WiFi/BT card, which is not supported in macOS. You need to replace it with a compatible WiFi card, or disable it when running macOS.

Ok thanks. I can manage without it, someone may come up with the solution in the future.
Thank for all your help, I could not have done it without help from here.
