@Xsario Are you planning on trying macOS Tahoe? If so, my latest EFI lets me boot both Sequoia and Tahoe. Both the onboard ethernet card and wifi seem to work fine as well. I haven't tried audio as I need to get some new speakers and a microphone, during a recent move they seem to have gone missing!! I don't have any Thunderbolt devices so when I did the USB mapping I left the USB-C/Thunderbolt ports alone so you would probably have to redo the mapping if you use those ports. I will post the EFI here if you are going to try Tahoe.

That was quick, thanks very much.

Hi @fabiosun, I've just updated to the latest BIOS 3205 hoping it may fix a few issues I am having with Tahoe. Sequoia seems to work fine at the moment but even after the latest update Tahoe is wonky. In Tahoe, I have no network card showing at all and my NVMEe drives are very weird. 1 of them will not show at all in System Information and another appears most of the time but sometimes won't show up. The 3rd shows all the time. Even though I can see 2 in System Information I cannot see any of the volumes, 1 of them is Sequoia the other Windows. Nor can I mount either of the EFI partitions on those drives. The one that show all the time is the Windows one. It will also only allow me to install Tahoe on an old spinning hard disk, not an NVMe or SSD. I have ordered a new, different make, NVMe drive to try that. I have had a look at the AMD discord run by CorpGhost but couldn't see the best place to ask for help with the ACPI patches. I have attached below the DSDT I have extracted with the debug version of Opencore. When you get a chance, could you please pass it on to CorpGhost to do his magic stuff and point me to it on Discord. Thank you for all your help, now and in the past. Regards, DSDT.aml.zip

@Xsario I updated to that BIOS and everything is still working fine as far as I can tell. It does take a little while as it also updates other firmware as well, eg the thunderbolt chip. I still haven't managed to get to install the Tahoe beta yet but I'm getting closer - probably something silly I have in my config.

Hi @Xsario, I haven't tried it yet. I think @fabiosunhas updated his motherboard to the latest Hero so isn't in a position now to try it. If you try it first can you update here if all is well. Have you tried Tahoe yet? I can't get mine to boot to the installer even with the latest kexts, OC and patches. I get the prohibit sign and screen corruption during part of the installation and it either freezes or reboots in a loop.

Has anybody got this working with the new Tahoe? I updated to the latest Opencore 1.0.5, and the latest kexts, but still cannot get past the usual [EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] followed by the Data & Time. Maxkernel set to 24.99.99 for all kexts

Beta 5 update runs fine.

That updated kext solves the issue, thank you. Are there any advantages using that rather than AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext?

Thank you my genius friend. I now have it working as it should. The kext you use for the ethernet card (AppleIGC.kext) does not work for me. If I enable that kext and disable AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext my system just hangs at a black screen. If I disable both of those kexts the same thing happens, I just get a black screen. Enabling AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext (with the e1000=0 boot arg) and it works again, but ethernet speed is only 10% of what it should be - but that is better than nothing. The AppleIGC.kext I have is V1.5 dated 14 June 2024. I will experiment with a few things over the weekend.

Here is the config.plist. As far as I am aware I have all the patches. config.plist.zip

No change for me in Beta 4. It is still totally unusable because of the graphics glitches, e.g totally red screen in web browser windows, the same for mail messages and often the whole screen becomes unreadable or lags when you click anything..
-
Yes it is Corsair but it doesn't happen in Windows and didn't happen before updating to OC 1.0.0 and the new patches & Sequoia. I do have another power supply I could try but that won't be for a few days as I am busy.
-
Just adding the extra patches resulted in a very unstable/unusable system. So I deleted all existing patches and installed the ones from above along with the latest versions of the kexts. (I removed patches that were only for earlier versions of macOS - those before Sonoma) The system is generally OK in both Sonoma & Sequoia BUT it randomly just turns off - I hear a click and the whole system is off. This results in the power buttons on the case not working. The only way to get the system up again is to remove the power cable from the power supply and leave it for 10 seconds or so and then it will turn on again when I reconnect the power cable. Very, very strange. This happens in both Sonoma & Sequoia but a lot more often in Sequoia.
-
Mine is now installed. The main problem was I had accidentally not increased one of the max settings in the patch list. However it is very unstable even after updating Lilu. I couldn’t find updated versions of WEG or Virtualsmc.
-
Still no joy for me on my 7950X. Where do we get the updated versions of those kexts? I only have the latest release version from the acidanthera GitHub page, e.g the Lilu one is version 1.6.7 dated Aug 7, 2023.
