Rox67er

Thanks, got it to finish the install and booted into 12.3.1 but then at the next boot I got the 99 bios error, had to reset bios, reset to my defaults and now it looks like my boot partition is corrupt. 😡😦

Removed the m.2 SSD, put it in an external case and re-installing now via my macbook…

ehm

you must use a kext

Sure about that? I didn't use that one since Catalina I think.

Just upgraded to macOS 12.3.1 and now stuck at boot on:

Generation from SMC report as 2

any suggestion? Still on 0.7.8 opencore which booted fine with 12.2.1

Missed part of the Aquantia discussion, is it only an issue with 12.3 beta? I'm running Aquantia on 12.2.1 without any issue.

Fabulous! That is definitely worth looking into. Are you doing bare metal mostly or proxmox/kvm primarily? The Asrock TRX40 Creator has been somewhat loopy for me with KVM since I upgraded the BIOS, and seems like passthrough of CPU isn't as fast as it used to be (used to be faster than Bare Metal for me on AMD Threadripper 3990x, plus with KVM I could sleep the machine and have all threads enabled—not to mention not having to reboot for OS switching).

Started this adventure on proxmox, mostly working ok. When OpenCore patches became available for TRX40 I ran in parallel for a short while but since all my apps where working on bare metal I saw no need for the extra complexity and switched over. Have been pretty happy overall with the experience and upgrading OS is mostly straightforward with some help on this forum. The WiFi drop in card was definitely worth it. 😉

Thank you @Rox67erfor your EFI

with your permission I would like to insert it in OP

We are missing an ASRock solution in that post

If you agree and if possible, post an ioreg of your system.

I will add them in the initial post

Thank you

Yes off course, no problem. Always good to have a starting point for new users.

Attached my IOReg.

Have you completely disabled the onboard Intel Wifi/BT and replaced with a dongle or PCIe card? Bluetooth and Wifi is working for me with the onboard Intel on the ASRock TRX40 Creator. Handoff, not sure, airdrop not working.

Swapped Wifi / BT for MacOS compatible one, airdrop/handoff/apple watch unlock all working. So this is an onboard solution and thus onboard WiFi/BT is enabled. (Just to intel anymore) More details here: https://www.macos86.it/topic/2675-proxmox-ve-osx-guide-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=76704

Hi all, wanted to share my latest EFI for ASrock TRX40 motherboard with you.

• macOS Monterey 12.2
• Opencore 0.7.7
• Replaced internal wifi with MacOS compatible one
• Running stable for weeks now
• Bluetooth / WiFi working
• Handoff / Apple Watch unlock working
• Sleep working consistently (finally) even my carbon copy cloner wakes from sleep, runs a backup and sleeps again. 🙂 😎

Thanks to @Rocket88 @Driftwood  for sharing their ASrock results and of course to @fabiosun and all others who contributed on this forum.

for  ASRock trx40 creator users

You have two ethernet on your motherboard (Aquantia and a 2.5 one)

if you are using Aquantia for sure, it could be useful to post your device id for @valmeidaI think also yours is different from his aquantia id

you can find easily with HackCheck or other tools

See picture below

Thanks

I seem to have totally different ID's

@Driftwood This was the exact same problem I had with sleep. I had too change USB SSDT to get it working properly. I copied @Rocket88 version which works but is not 100%, still need to figure out how to customize it.

I can capture it, however it stays static at 2.9Ghz/2.9Ghz, only thing that changes is temp (barely) and wattage, but wattage stops at 250W. This is true for both with and without PBO enabled. Not sure what bios setting might help change that, if anything. It seems like a kernel level issue, but I could be wrong of course.

Do you have DummyPowerManagement enabled? (Should be disabled)

Mine is working just fine (Same motherboard)

While running Cinebench, I do run a low noise profile on my AIO so running a bit hot

Well thank you guys for not giving up on me! My ASRock went to sleep for the first time! And you all contributed. 🥳

1) I checked the BIOS settings and I already had the same setting as @Driftwood suggested.

2) I then copied over the ACPI from @Rocket88 EFI folder and update settings in config.plist still NO SLEEP !!!

3) I then removed ALL USB ports including apple keyboard / trackpad and SLEEP WORKS!!! Tip of @fabiosun

After some more testing an external USB3 Hub with my apple keyboard and trackpad, was causing it. Direct connection of keyboard / trackpad on the front USB AND USB3 HUB still connected and sleep still works. After moving the external USB3 HUB to one of the TOP REAR USB3 ports I can now plug in my keyboard and trackpad and sleep still works.

After switching back to my own EFI, immediate wake on sleep. So the issue was both in my config and the external USB3 Hub.

Now I need to narrow it down to what goes wrong. My assumption is the internal RGB led controller as although it is disabled in BIOS I think it still shows up in MacOS so I need to kill the power for that one and try if that works.

Port mapping is important when any given USB device has more than 15 ports. This seems to be an Intel, not an AMD, problem. I've made several comments about this issue scattered throughout this thread, and now Driftwood, in his above post, is echoing this same position. On the AMD platform, each USB device typically contains only 10 USB ports, not more than 15 (which would require port limiting/mapping).

 

Where USB port limiting can help, is when certain ports are interfering with another function. The example I referenced in the recent response to Driftwood, is the matter of limiting the USB power to the internal AX200 Wifi device. I do this because I'm using a natively functioning PCI AIC for BT/Wifi instead of the internal AX200. Cancelling the AX200 requires one USB device be "un-defined" via an SSDT file to make it disappear.

 

I think that the PCI AIC BT/Wifi card is superior to the internal AX200 because it allows AirDrop to fully function. I have no sleep/wake issues. BTW, this PCI AIC BT/Wifi card requires no kext files under Monterey such as BlueToolFixup. The AX200 device requires special kext files, which to date, don't permit AirDrop to work.

 

***

 

On a related note about kext files, I can vouch for @fabiosun's 2 kext booting. It works!

 

However, our set-up differ: he chooses to not use the internal I211 ports but instead use an Aquantia AIC; meanwhile, I use the internal I211 port, so I need the SmallTree kext (and my mobo has an internal Aquantia port). Nor does his system use BT/Wifi as mine, so I need some extra SSDT files which he does not need. 

 

Again, as of Monterey ß2, the Fenvi-1200M PCI card requires no kext files, which reduces my previously required kext number by 4 files (as when this same AIC is used in Big Sur).

 

 

Thanks for addition, I do agree that all my USB ports work without the port mapping but apparently rocket had the same issue with sleep as I still have. Now I did swap out the internal ax200 for an internal Broadcom. So I also have airdrop and all the stuff working without additional kext. (So also don’t disable usb power for that one)

I will sift through the EFI and see if sleep works with his settings and the try to slim down to my own config.

My sleep always works. For me, I had to set up my USB ports correctly.

Attached are my settings for Asrock TRX40 Creator. Your case settings will be slightly different than mine.

 

* Need Realtek audio port to be defined. Without this, your computer will attempt to sleep and then pop back on.

* On power up, no Realtek audio. Requires 1 sleep to work. Wish I could figure this out.

* My Logitech camera quits working after two sleeps. I have to unplug and replug to get it to work.

* LED Controller port MUST NOT be defined to keep from getting Code 99 problem.

@Rocket88 could you share your full EFI? I have been testing with your dsl file and also the port mapping tool but my ASRock behavior stays the same. Immediate wake after sleep. 😳🤯

@Rocket88 Just tested and if I enable WEG I loose video output after 2nd boot stage (initial apple logo and boot progress is visible but after loading drivers no more display)

I also loaded up the SSDT but still immediate wake after sleep. What did you mean with this line:

Need Realtek audio port to be defined. Without this, your computer will attempt to sleep and then pop back on.

Defined in the SSDT or in OpenCore???

I could not make Above 4G work, but CSM is disabled. Everything else is the normal BIOS default settings.

There are two things regarding above 4G

1) Check your MMIO settings. In my config file I listed all options for MMIO and named the relevant ones "above 4G"

2) I'm not 100% sure but I think with a recent OC / Big Sur version I had a conflict with Above 4G and WEG enabled. My 6900XT works fine without WEG so I disabled WEG altogether

No time yet to test sleep with your SSDT...

Thanks for sharing Rocket88, I have some USB setup as without it I kept having the 99 error every second boot and had to fully power down the computer. I will look into your file to see if there are differences. I don't think I have a special setting for the Realtek audio... 

Did you do special things in the BIOS?

Amazing work guys, a bit quit from my side lately but all is well.

Have been reading along with the new developments and I just update my opencore 0.6.8 to latest 0.7.3 and included the new minimised set of patches. Installed latest bios update and after some tweaks all working fine again and just installed latest Monterey Beta on my backup drive which was also painless. Everything working including WiFi / BT / Aquantia / handoff etc. (except still no sleep, wakes immediately just like previous OS versions)

Attached my EFI if anyone needs a starting point. I have more or less default BIOS settings, disabled CSM and enabled above 4G.

Many thanks for this great community!

different problems with this beta for me

it needs with MacPro7.1 of agdpmod=pikera boot arg (thanks to @Gengik84to point me in this direction

 

problem with Safari and middl mouse wheel here

chrome is fine

too much disk activity (it seems to me )

i havent see a worst beta from years....

if you test it give feedback if you can 🙂

 

Just installed with no issue, also running MacPro7.1 but do not use WEG anymore. I miss display in 2nd boot stage but after drivers load all is well.

Lately, I've been shutting down the computer at night as I've not had any stability issues to study. However, I left computer on last night (running latest beta 4 and with RestrictEvents enabled) and this morning the computer was off. On restart, I got a macOS warning of a crash, so I seemed to have had a shutdown over night. 

 

The Memory section does not add to any stability problems; I checked that last week (and it's part of OC, not RestrictEvents). It sounds like RestrictEvents is the cuilprit.

 

I'm at work now but I'll study later tonight to see if I get a shutdown again, but it must have happened a few hours into the boot, so it might take some time to sort out. (Today the 6900XT is scheduled to arrive and it I exchange the GPU, that might add to any stability issues.)

 

 

I never used RestrictEvents and have had no issue with 11.4 beta's so far.

I had both Radeon VII in slot 1 and 6900XT in slot 3 installed, upgrade worked flawless (the issue I had was related to some error in a parallel upgrade to Opencore 0.6.8 I did) 

Then I swapped out the Radeon VII and put only 6900XT in slot 1. After initial apple logo I had no display out. (WEG enabled but no agdpmod=pikera boot arg.)

After adding agdpmod=pikera all worked well, also I completely disabled WEG and all seems to function as intended.

Overall 11.4 seems pretty stable so far.

😳 First attempt hangs when booting the update image... 

Downloading now !!! 🥳

Just noticed a firmware update for Aquantia 10G network card 3.1.118 but can’t find any info on change log. Any benefits for macos use?
