Need Help with Ventura

[kantagara]

My friend made me this efi that is attached, that one worked flawlessly for Big Sur, everything worked as expected, unfortunately, none of the things I have tried are making sure that I can boot Ventura. Can anyone help me out on this?

Config is: AMD 3600x
MSI MPG x570 Gaming Plus (not WIFI)

Kind regards.

Give this a whirl. Updated to the latest OC (0.8.7) and kernel patches updated and corrected. You had it set for a 8 core.

Will have a shot on this one today or tomorrow, Thank you so much!

WOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have tried several options to make this work and what finally made it work was making the bootable Ventura on my several year old macbook, then copy pasting this EFI folder of yours to the location of the previous EFI (since there was no EFI partition on my USB), and that worked like a charm. Thank you so much again. Where can I donate?

Glad that worked for you. There's a donate link in the menu at the top of the forum if you wish.

I will! I just have two more questions. Even with the previous, Big Sur, I occasionally had super bad internet, like most of the time it was really bad and then all of a sudden it just gets better. And then it falls down again, that never happened on Ubuntu nor on Windows, so to me it looks like it's a driver issue, but I seem to have the right network drivers?

@kantagara Hard to say. Ethernet got a bit different in recent times with Apple changing over to DriverKit. The easiest option is to get a USB to LAN adapter. I had one when there was no way of getting the LAN port on my board working under macOS. That's now been fixed but the USB adapter worked OOB.

Thank you! Can you give some recommendation for it? Does apple has it's own RJ45 to USB - C / A?

Pretty much any USB to Ethernet adapter will work In macOS.

Not sure why the built in Realtek 8111H Gigabit LAN Controller (Ethernet) on your motherboard doesn’t work in macOS if you are using the correct kext.

You should be using a Realtek8111.kext, which version of the kext are you using?

It works, it is just that sometimes the packets were being dropped for no obvious reason.
But, now the weird part is, when I got USB to Ethernet and plugged it in, it took him some time to install the driver. Then that adapter started literally being removed from the adapters list every x seconds, but now, my native ethernet cable works perfectly. Like I didn't have package drops in hours, speed is as expected. So I have no idea how those two are 'connected' but it works really good for the time being.

We are talking about an AMD Hackintosh, never expect it to work first time. Always expect something funky to occur!
