I cannot install Sonoma on R5 2600 vs 6600XT

[tuantho0401]

As the title says, I can't update to Sonoma. I can't get into recovery mode to set up Macos settings. My EFI can only install the highest version of Monterey 12.7.1. Please help me. I need to update to Sonoma
Main: ax370m-ds3h
CPU: R5-2600
VGA: 6600XT

First thing of note is that macOS Sonoma doesn't support NVMeFix.kext, so it needs to be removed or disabled before you try to upgrade to Sonoma.

Second is that the AMD Kernel Patches in your config.plist are too old to run Sonoma. You need to replace them with a copy of the current kernel patches, of which there are 22. Including editing the first FOUR (4) patches to work with your 6-core CPU.

Misc > Security > SecureBootModel should be set as Default, when using a T2 compatible SMBIOS, such as the MacPro7,1.

UEFI > APFS > MinDate and MinVersion should be set as '0', not '-1'. Using '-1' is not recommended.

Make these changes and see if that helps when trying to install macOS Sonoma.

They fixed it on Sonoma, https://github.com/acidanthera/NVMeFix/commit/af93868c86da3a0a4be6419a4949e5f4437ba4eb

Thanks for the heads up, I obviously hadn’t realised they had issued a release that fixed this issue.
