@rressl, try this. Just put your serial numbers etc in and you will need to add the pikera boot argument as you have a different dGPU. If you want, later today I can save my BIOS settings profile to a file that you can upload to yours to try, just let me know if you want it.

Thanks for uploading the file. I have the same issue. 😞

Yes, please upload the uefi settings file, then I can try this.

@rressl try to change in the bios the parameters you have for your sata interface, disable / enable things like sata aggressive link and hot plugging

I have tried and unfortunately exactly the same problem. I also tried to reset the UEFI. 😞

never seen that problem..but you can easily try with also a mechanical disk if you have

 

have you tested also installer app I have suggested?

it is based on create install media method...

Yes, I also tested with the installer app.

I mean suitable not because it is an SSD, but because it is PCIe 4.0.

try to comment your ethernet kext in your config and also, if you want try, rebuild your usb EFI   macOS installer with this simple app:

 

Thanks for the tips, but unfortunately the same problem. 😞

Can I have the issues because of the SSD's? (Corsair MP600 2TB M.2 NVMe (PCIe 4.0))

Just now, fabiosun said:

no I mean your destination drive

Ohh okay. Simply formatted as apfs volume with Disk Utility. Just like I would do it with a "real" mac. 🙂

@rressl waiting from iGPU answer

 

you have:

• Intel^® X550-AT2 Dual 10GbE BASE-T LAN with cFosSpeed

are you sure kext you use is good for you?

Then

How do you have prepared Catalina drive?

 

I created it like this:

Format usb drive and crate the installer with "sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume" and then mount it with MountEFI.command and copy the EFI folder.

@iGPU I used your last version (EFI-v061-8e2755f-BareMetal-USB-installer-Public-Debug.zip), but unfortunately still the same issue with the installer. 😞

In the appendix you can find a video of the problem, debug txt and my config.plist. What could be the problem here?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

My hardware:

CPU: AMD 3970x

Mainboard: Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Xtreme

GPU: AORUS Radeon RX 5700 XT 8G

Memory: 256GB  3200MHz - (F4-3200C16Q2-256GTZR) G.Skill Trident Z

SSD: Corsair MP600 2TB M.2 NVMe (PCIe 4.0)

See my comment to Ploddles. The things you're seeing on boot are some of the things I had to delete from his config file.

 

Better to start with the EFI from GitHub or the EFI I uploaded here several days ago.

Unfortunately I don't come to the project on GitHub anymore. Did you take the project offline?

Try this.

Thanks, now the installer is booting, but if I try to install macOS Catalina, after selecting the disk the "Install macOS Catalina" window crash.

That should work fine if your USB stick was called MyVolume. After it ran did its name change to Install Catalina or something similar? Did it complete without any errors? There is an App you can use as well which will halt on any errors. Try THIS

The same issue 😞

What is really strange, if I copy the EFI folder from iGPU (zip "EFI-v061-08-09-20-BareMetal-public.zip" ) the installer is found and also able too boot into the setup. (But the installation does not work then.)

It sounds like you haven't created a Catalina USB install stick. If you have, how did you create it?

I created it like this:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

and then mount it with MountEFI.command

As requested attached is my latest EFI. You will need to enter your own details for serial number etc in config.plist - where I have put "Your Info Here".

It is best to just write in the thread rather than PM, others may be able to help with your questions/comments.

 

This is by no means complete and is just a work in progress but hopefully it will get you going.

 

@Jaidy there are a few updates from the last one here, including a couple of Gigabyte Xtreme specific SSDTs, thanks to @iGPU for these.

@Ploddles

Thanks for uploading your configuration.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me and when I boot from the USB stick I only get the selection "CleanNvram.efi" and "ResetSystem.efi".

What could be the problem? (CSM and Above 4G decoding is disabled)

Benvenuto 😀
