TRIGKEY Mini PC 8 Core 16 Ryzen 7 5800H

Number of threads -1, so it should be set to 15, for your 8-Core CPU.

No, it is not normal. It means something isn’t set correctly.

I tried to install the Sonoma (14.7), during run the Sonoma installation and I stuck here: You can't save the file 'PackagesLink' because the volume 'macOS Base System' is read only....
I used the second EFI files from leesurone at original version or upgrade to latest version of Open Core and Kexts, they are the same issue.

I don't have any issue with macOS Ventura (13.6) installation with these EFI files, it can goto the Installation Window
I used Open Core Legacy Patcher to download and create these macOS installations in a USB flash drive.


Please help
Thanks

Using OCLP to create your OpenCore EFI is wrong, as your Mini PC isn’t a real Mac.

You need to follow the Dortania Ryzen guide when creating your OC EFI, like every other AMD Ryzen user.

thanks, but I only use OCLP to upgrade Open Core and Kexts for OC EFI.

I also tested with original OC EFI from leesurone, it has the same issue

My EFI was built for Ventura, and quite sometime ago, so it is never going to work for Sonoma without updating OpenCore, key kexts including bluetooth and wireless kexts.

Also OCLP is really not designed to work in the manner you are using it unless you have a Broadcom card for wireless and bluetooth that was outdated in Sonoma. "OCAT" would really be a better tool for what you want to use it for.

  • sorry, my mistake, I mean I used OCAT to upgrade OpenCore and Kexts
  • the first time, I used your original EFI (ver 2) and I could install Sonoma successfully, except the WiFi because your EFI uses AirportItlwm 2.2

Adding Innie.kext will fix the Internal drives showing as External drives issue. https://github.com/cdf/Innie

Okay, understood. Then you should be able to install Sonoma and tweak wireless afterwards.

I’ve read a few success stories, both here and at Tonymacx86, taking advantage of recent developments in Nootedred.kext which enable AMD iGPU powered builds. This little guy uses the same CPU as several of the laptop builds posted here. It seemed because of that there was at least a good chance I could get OSX installed on it.

It was a little difficult to verify the internal hardware it came with, the description of Amazon was missing information and the Trigkey website is also not very clear. I wasn’t sure how WIFI/ Bluetooth was supported and there was no information on the type of Nvme SSD it came with. Both of those choices could have been an issue trying to get a successful build.

Fortunately it turned out it comes with an Intel AX210 M2 Slot powered WIFI/ Bluetooth card which is easy to access and can be changed to a Broadcom card if desired. I left the intel card installed.

The Nvme SSD is a P3P500SSD8 which other users have stated works fine with OSX, an added bonus is it also comes with an unpopulated SATA slot for 2.5 inch HDD. I took advantage of that and installed Windows 10 on it to help further identify hardware and use SSDDTTime.

It also comes with an HDMI and DP video outputs instead of the two HDMI ports listed. The bios is fairly robust but most settings do not need to be adjusted. I had the best success disabling Nootored.kext during the install progress and then once complete turning it back on. HDMI output also was the best choice to complete installation although Display Port will work afterwards.

The one bios adjustment is how much onboard RAM you want to dedicate to video. That setting is under Advanced/AMD CBS/ NDIO Common Options/ GFX Configuration.

The EFI uploaded works in Ventura and will support Sonoma or Monterey if you change the version of the Airportitlwm.kext




Great thanks to ChefKissInc for all the work on developing Nootedred.kext, @Edhawk for some great suggestions on lookout for specific hardware and more and @craighazan for his relentless posting and support on Nootedred.kext that got me off the fence.

I bought exactly the same machine, and as a newbie - having all kinds of issues getting it to even boot properly! UGH. Did you manage to get it working with sequoia?
 
Post a copy of your EFI folder so we can see what you are using.

Also, confirm the following:
  1. Exact make and model of your system,
  2. Which drive you are using for macOS,
  3. Which WiFi/BT card you using, and
  4. How much VRAM you have allocated to the IGPU in the system.
Someone is more likely to help you with this issue if you let us know the information requested above.
