I'm not sure what you mean. The EFI allows Shutdown (Restart was always working). Are you in Catalina or Big Sur?

It hangs for me at both restart and shutdown. I simply pasted your EFI to my EFI partition. Did I miss something, like did I need to edit some settings?

I am on Catalina..

@iGPU thank you so much for your work. I have a question (I am a total noob here, so might be silly). The EFI you posted deactivated the restart and shut down functionality. Do we need to include a MIMO to get that (I am not even sure what a MIMO is 😄 )

@Ploddles update: BIOS reflash did the trick. Probably could have done it without reflash, and just a restore defaults followed by the recommended settings. Got my audio jack working again. Thanks to you and @iGPU and @fabiosun for the support and patience. 🙂

@Ploddles - I ended up in a similar situation (don't know how) where I could no longer boot in any EFI. I haven't retried yet after refreshing BIOS - I want to build it from scratch this time around but not sure it's worth it if shutdown and restart not working. I don't see any benefit except more ports and maybe the TB card.

the EFI @Ploddles posted on page 5 (I think), has restart working for me perfectly fine. Actually after disabling sleep, everything but the shutdown works. Audio though, the back panel is not working, but it was working previously for me. May be you can try using his EFI from that page?

@Jaidy It looks like one of the new ssdt's is probably disabling 1, or more, of our USB ports. The port my mouse is in is probably the one your keyboard is in. I haven't had time to check any of the ports yet but hope to get a chance later today. 

 

I hope @iGPU is ok, he doesn't appear to have been on line for over a day now (not that he has to be online all the time 🙂 ) and both of his Github repositories have been deleted - https://github.com/iGPU

 

Re your sound issue, have you tried alcid=16 rather than alcid=11?

It is odd somehow. I changed alcid to 11 from 1 as you suggested, and immediately the audio started working. Then I switched to the EFI posted by @iGPU. That caused the USB port (yes, you are right about some ports. The BIOS USB port on the back panel isn't working either. Also, restart wasn't working either - the system would hang when I tried restarting) to be disabled. So when I switched back to your original EFI, much of the functionality returned but audio didn't. I tried changing to 16, and 1 from 11, but it still isn't working. While the front panel is fine, the sound level is disabled.

I reset the BIOS too but it still is the same. May be I would try reflashing the BIOS? 

@iGPU would you be kind enough to take a look at my EFI and IO Registry. I can not get the audio port at the back I/O panel to work (though the front panel one works just fine, albeit without audio level controls). The new EFI you very kindly updated boots fine for me, but when in the OS, my wired keyboard disappears (contrasting with @Ploddles mouse and trackpad 😄), so for now I have gone back to the original @PloddlesEFI.

Which bit worked, sound or keyboard?

 

I will be updating my EFI (on a separate USB drive for testing first) but it will probably take me a while. Once I have it done I'll let you know. 🙂

 

Firstly, I've installed Big Sur on an old MacBook, 13" mid 2014 - so not the fastest machine out there, with only 8GB ram!!, and will next create a CCC image on a USB HD to then CCC to another NVMe on the TRX. I can then validate the new EFI for both Catalina and BS on the Xtreme. At some point I'll also have another look at liquidctl to see if it will play nicely with the RGB. It has just been updated to better work with the latest Gigabyte MBs that support Fusion 2 (Windows). I'm not that fussed about RGB but if it is there then there is another challenge and I like the odd challenge. Having been retired for some time I must keep the old brain cells working - I do voluntary work with the Ambulance Service now to keep me busy during the day but need more than that, hence moving onto the TRX from the 3 Intel Hacks I have built so far.

 

the sound worked :). Keyboard I just set the shortcuts manually in the settings..

Cool, looking forward to the updated EFI 🙂

@iGPU please find attached requested IOReg file for the Gigabyte Xtreme motherboard. We also need a different network kext as we have dual intel 10GB chipset. The (modified)  kext is attached.

 

@Jaidy, sound for me is working. I have not tested the onboard headphone jacks etc as I use a Dell AC511 USB Soundbar (it matches my Dell monitors and is designed to clip onto one of them. You could try changing from alcid=1 to alcid=11 or alcid=16 in the boot-args of your config.plist file. My previous Gigabyte boards (Z370 Gaming Ultra, Z390 Designare and Z390 Master all worked with either 11 or 16.

 

As for your keyboard, have you tried going to System Preferences - Keyboard and clicking "Change Keyboard Type..." It should then get you to press a key or two to verify it. I don't use a trackpad so can suggest anything for that.

that worked! Thanks a lot. Would you be following up on @iGPU's suggestions to create an updated EFI? If so, would you please post it here?

@fabiosun you mentioned that Catalina is working with patched web driver. Does that mean nVidia's driver works when patched in Catalina? If so, that'd be great!

Are there differences between motherboards? @Ploddles EFI has worked for me quite well. No reboots, and everything save for audio is working.

@Jaidy I've just checked the USB on my key ring and I have a copy of my EFI on that - I think it is the latest but if not I believe it does work on our MBs.

 

Let me know if you try it and it doesn't but here it is anyway. As I said, it still needs optimising and some kexts etc removing.

is audio (the built in one) working for you?

It works!! I am typing this from a macOS Catalina installation.

A few things though:

1. Strangely enough, my keyboard shortcuts seem to be messed up. Is there a way to reset the keyboard to Apple's own (I have magic keyboard with numeric pad)?

2. My trackpad seems to be not working. I have Magic Trackpad 2. Does it work for you (or anyone else)?

3. Does the onboard sound work for you? It is not detecting it on my machine and the only option is via the GPU

Overall, I am so pleased to be back on macOS. Missing the trackpad gestures, but hopefully they'd be restored by your help soon :) 

Thanks a ton!

I have exactly the same Motherboard, Processor and Graphics Card as you.

 

If you can wait until tomorrow I can upload my EFI for you, you'll just need to add your Serial No, UUID etc.

As it stands it is fine for installing and running Catalina but will not allow installation of Big Sur. No doubt it can be optimised for Catalina/Big Sur but it would give you a head start on getting things done.

 

In the BIOS you need to disable CSM, Virtualisation and Above 4G Decoding. I have XMP set to Profile 1. That could also be optimised but at least allows things to work for now. If I remember I will save the BIOS settings to a file you could load and attach it with the EFI.

You my friend are the best!! 😄

Hi all,

I am thrilled to know that macOS now boots bare metal on AMD TR3 systems. Is the procedure to install roughly making a Catalina (or BS USB), putting the EFI folder in the EFI partition of the USB, installing MacOS, and then putting the EFI folder in the EFI partition on the installation disk?

I have followed this thread, and there doesn’t seem to be any special BIOS settings. Is there anything I have missed?

I'm so envious of all of you who have the macOS going on Proxmox. Someone kindly help me set up mine as well. Is there a way to get the drivers for my wifi into Proxmox? I also have a TP Link Archer T9E wifi adapter..

During installation, Proxmox on the next  to  last screen, will automatically fill-in an IP  address, such as 192.168.1.55 (based of course, on your network's setup). At that point, you can accept it as is, or change it (if you do change it, only change the last segment, such as the '55' to '60'). That IP will remain fixed for your host.

 

On the first boot, Proxmox will remind you on the host screen of that IP address, and you'll be prompted to enter you user name ("root") and the password you entered during set-up. After that, you can connect to the host.

 

You connect to the host via WiFi (or hardwired) from another computer (laptop, desktop, etc). You'll enter the above IP along with "/8006" (for example, 192.168.1.55/8006), in your browser. This browser window will become the Proxmox GUI interface for your VM.

I did exactly that the first time. But using the address at the boot screen of proxmox, when I entered that on another computer, it would after a while just say can not access the url.

Second time, I reinstalled proxmox and at the network settings, I looked at the network settings on my macbook and used the entries there in the network settings on proxmox (changing the IP address of course). But when I booted into proxmox and tried the new address given at the boot screen on my macbook, it is still the same.

Has any one used wifi to install proxmox?

if I have understood your problem..

when you stay in proxmox ip/ethernet step, you can see all ethernet device installed (and that proxmox sees) in your system

try to choose wifi one if there.

I have no wifi so I can't say more about this

 

I think that is the problem. I see two ethernet adapters but no wifi adapters at the proxmox network settings during installation

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the proxmox VM on my machine. I do not have any ethernet connection, and only connect via wifi. How to find the network settings to put in during proxmox installation?

thanks everyone. Good to be here 🙂
