  1. I installed with Load UEFI defaults and disabled csm, thats all.
  2. I found the linux driver and got Pavo to sort the coding. Its on the Realtek site too but I noticed it here first: https://github.com/heri16/r8125 Also, Im passing the Aquantia, and using Realtek8125 for Proxmox Host. The reason was it kept getting screwed up on Proxmox install. Whatever happens you need to get the Aquantia to accept DHCP on the Mac VM. Proxmox has this habit of 'losing' one of the nics or offering a Mac address IPv6 address and only one gets the 198.162.1.134, which often is the Aquantia. This is why I had the idea which I gave to Pavo for it to be reprogrammed to work in Proxmox to its true device ID and not the 'compatible'.
  3. It seems its like this one... hmmm LSI643 Truefire is in my 4c:00 lspci listing. I bought it a long time ago. Chipset LSI LW643 https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/startech.com_3_port_2b_1a_low_profile_1394_pci_express_firewire_card_adapte_pex1394b3lp/version.asp?refsource=ldadwords&mkwid=sghpO99t9_dc&pcrid=293700874314&product=PEX1394B3LP&pgrid=59244711832&ptaid=pla-363324503738&channel=search&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwYa056vu6QIVFWHmCh0TTAjGEAQYAyABEgJOvvD_BwE#!#specs
  4. Yeah I install Proxmox with Above 4G off, and put it on later. Sometimes, you can pull the Displayport out (or HDMI) from the back and give it a few seconds and put it back in... then wait and give it a minute and see if screen comes alive.
  5. You need to rip out the BT/Wifi card from the board. It interferes with proxmox/Mac. You need to get the Realtek 8125 Linux driver into Proxmox boot or the Aquantia or the 8169 or whatever is will go missing. here's my Dmesg for it [ 1.212042] r8125: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

  6. My GRUB line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on video=efifb:off"
  7. If it has Cheetah bridge its not going to work . You need the single chip LP version. Send that one back! Does it show one or two device addresses in lspci -nn -k?
  8. Here's my OC settings n stuff. Hope it helps! OC-Driftwood.zip Firewire in MacOS
  9. Dont get disheartened, we've all been there!
  10. ASRock Creator owners please report your problem here and we can get some action - you dont have to mention Mac! https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp I can boot on Displayport or/and with HDMI no problem.
  11. I reckon theres something up with this board. We're all getting, or have had similar issues. I noticed if I plug my QNAP TR004 USB-C 4 bay 'spinner' drive box in, I get freezes every now and again - I'm trying to narrow it down but I think it happens when screen saver kicks in. I also get the occasional USB disappearance on a Corsair Gaming iCue keyboard. *Note: I have 'Put drives sleep' and 'Wake on network' disengaged in sleep in sys preferences. But generally screen saver and screen sleep works. I think the APCi stuff needs to be sorted in BIOS or we need a fw update asap. We should all hit the ASRock site and forum and get them to look into it. I knew I had to clear down memory after a shutdown. Shutdown Mac, then Shutdown Now on Proxmox once Mac has closed. Pull plug or back switch, wait 5 seconds, turn on and reboot. However, things have been more stable at running 32 cores and at least 8Gb memory switched out of your total. Has anyone done USB/dsdts yet in OpenCore?
  12. Make sure the EFI partition is inside a volume called EFI, as in EFI/EFI/OC and BOOT folders
  13. The mac has no Ballooning support from what I understand so the host always shows the VM using 97% memory no matter what setting I've used - check in 'Summary' tab. You get that?
  14. A bit of discussion here: How many cores are you all passing and why? At only 64gb RAM I've found stability (whilst waiting for more memory to come in the post) using only 32 cores and leaving at least 4gb ram for proxmox host . The reason mainly is I understand from reading Proxmox site that you have to leave something in the way of at least 1 core (even though we push through 64 cores to our VMs or share the 64 cores amongst more if you have more than 1 vm running). And then you read the experts that suggest you should follow the power of 2 rule (offer only 2, 4, 16, 32 cores) and hold the rest back for the Host and others VMs. However if you have this rule then it appears we should be only running a max of 32 cores for the 3970x correct me if Im wrong? I have extremely stable operation when I set Mac OS to use 56Gb Ram and only 32 cores. Has anyone else with 64gb RAM experienced this? PS Ive now ordered 256Gb G.Skills AMD QL cert. DIMMs and realise I could be waiting a few weeks as they've only just launched them 😞
  15. Yep @cj750.glad you got your gpus rolling 🙂 @fabiosun its in a test case rig atm. Temps are good on air so far. Just waiting for g.skulls to get their 256gig AMD Ryzen spec dimms and I'll be using water in a bigger case.
  16. Yep. Why change something that works very well and RME have been pretty good at supporting with regular drivers. I own two Fireface800s. Blew a channel on one of them the other day - first time somethings happened to one of them in 15 years! Still amazing audio device - and they hold their price secondhand...
  17. Cheap Startech (15 years old now) Firewire 1394b LP version (not the bridged cherry version) works. https://www.startech.com/uk/Cards-Adapters/FireWire/3-Port-2b-1a-Low-Profile-1394-PCI-Express-FireWire-Card-Adapter~PEX1394B3LP
  18. Ah I've got dual 800s and a 400 just noticed it. The one u ordered will be good to go so long as its the small LP version.
  19. Should do. Thats not firewire I guess? Basically audio cards are touch and go. Firewire never really had virtualisation in the days it was launched and its getting rather long in the tooth nowadays. However, there's tons of sound engineers and producers still using firefaces and the RME brand. If you are using Firewire ENSURE it has the Texas Instruments chip in and nothing else. Startech make the best one and its fairly cheap. The great thing about theirs is that its native and not bridged like other firewire cards. They work in bare metal, and it works too in VM as I have proven.
  20. All my ports work but I don't pass the audio ones because it interferes with my FireWire card fireface 800 audio. Gets laggy if I enable 48:00.3. Audio has been problematic for trx40 because of the very nature of the way it looks back the audio to USB. It's very weird! You can always get a USB hub on USB C or any of the other 3.2 USB connectors to increase your USB yield. You could always get a Mac supported soundcard too or usb sound. I have a HTC Vive and the HDMI out should work, along with a configured audio solution to work in fcpx or vive/steam. I haven't tried it yet but will do next week. Who knows the audio may one day work but ask @fabiosun about that.
  21. Are you sure? 48:00.3 should supply those rear ports without audio. Q. Whats with the Reset / no reset you've marked? So you're getting no change if Rombar=1 on or 0 off on the USB ports - ie its ineffective ?
  22. I nearly bought those, now ordered the G.Skill 3600s. 18 timings XMP 2 should work!
  23. RAM Tips for TRX40 Boards So Ive been using 64Gb HypeX 3600 4x16 DIMMS in my setup (HyperX HX436C17PB3K4/64 Predator DDR4 64 GB (Kit 4 x 16 GB), 3600 MHz CL17 DIMM XMP) which are great at 3600, and work with XMP 1, but Im thinking of upgrading to 128Gb and it doesnt look like HyperX have anything compatible. I've been looking around for 'compatible' options and so far here's the links (please add yours!);- https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1133083-best-ram-and-configuration-tipps-on-ryzen-thredripper-3970x-build/ 3200 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/rJkgXL/gskill-ripjaws-v-128-gb-4-x-32-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-f4-3200c16q-128gvk
  24. Nice. I have the dev public release too to install... just wondered you've experienced no problems with Adobe apps, etc? Wondering if it's worth the risk upgrading.
