    Mine won't boot at all. Hangs within 2-3 seconds of selecting it in the menu to boot whilst trying to install.

    Are you no longer using the TRX40?

    Yay, I managed to install a couple of fresh copies of Ventura. 1st I had, at some point, inadvertently set Secure Boot in the Config.plist file to Default instead of Disabled. 2nd, this enabled me to get to the 2nd part of the install process (see attached) but it kept failing with a message about 'not enough space' even thou it was going to a clean 500GB drive. I tried formatting it as HPFS+ and APFS but I kept getting the same message. The only way I could get passed this message was to reformat the disk with an Apple Partition Map as the Scheme and then reformatting it as a GUID Partition Map AND APFS, not HPFS+ Strange behaviour but it works so I am not complaining.

    Neither/both of those made any difference. I managed to get a screenshot just before the reboot. EDIT: I've just noticed it mentions SecureBoot which I have set as Default. Later on I will try setting it to Disabled to see if that solves my problem.

    @shrisha both @Jaidy and myself are having problems installing a new version of Ventura on our Gigabyte Xtreme motherboards. I managed to upgrade, my already booting, Monterey but trying to do a fresh install from scratch isn't working. It does the 1st part fine but after rebooting to continue with the 2nd phase our boards just reboot and go straight into a Recovery Console. If you manage to do a fresh install to another disk, can you post your EFI so I can try it with our Xtreme boards. If that works then I can try and find the differences that are stopping us doing it. Thanks.

    I only managed to install by updating Monterey. I haven’t tried an install from scratch with the latest release. It just reboots on the 2nd part of the install and goes to the Monterey recovery consol with the last few betas. I just exited the Monterey recovery consol to get back into Monterey. I’ll leave it a couple of days and then try another fresh install once the mad rush for the download is over.

    I am not sure which card it is but I use the SmallTreeIntel8259x.kext. My built in WiFi and Bluetooth card works as well. I still cannot install a fresh version of any macOS versions. I used chris1111's app to install a Developer Beta Access profile and just ran the software upgrade from within Monterey.

    I decided to "bite the bullet" and finally managed to install Ventura RC2 over my Monterey. I can confirm that our network cards do work fine with it.
  9. Ploddles
    Nothing on mine now. A few versions back it used to do the same as yours.
  10. Ploddles
    Ventura RC2 - ooow errr.
  11. Ploddles
    Mine is the Gigabyte Xtreme. I think there are only 2 of us on here with this board, @Jaidyand myself. I've asked Jaidy if he has tried it.

    When there is a public download for it I will try again but I'm not holding much hope for my system. RunMe_DownloaderV3 still only lists the previous beta.

    Thanks you for trying to help and all the work you put into this for the community. This is very weird, I can't even install the early versions of Monterey. I even went as far as downgrading the BIOS to earlier versions, and old versions of my EFI, where I had no problems at all initially installing Monterey. Nothing seems to work, I always just get a reboot immediately after starting the 2nd phase. I will keep trying various things to see if I get any luck, if not then I may have to revert to Windows and just use macOS on the TRX40 until it stops working and would benefit from a reinstall. I may try Big Sur, just to see if that will install, but that will be at a later date when I have more free time to spend on it. Thank you again.

    Thanks. The 2 kexts (V0.71) solved the magic number error 👍. I tried disabling the network cards in the BIOS and unplugged the cable but that didn't make any difference, it just reboots on the 2nd phase The strange thing is that if I try and install a new version of Monterey that is also doing the same thing, i.e just immediately rebooting on the 2nd phase. It does this even if I use my original unmodified EFI that is booting the installed version fine. This is getting stranger and stranger. I'm thinking of downloading the earliest version of Monterey and trying that, just out of interest to see if that does the same. 🤔

    Hi, Unfortunately that doesn't work. If I boot into Monterey with it it just randomly reboots. I had already done the first part of the Ventura install with my usual EFI - where it copies the files to the destination disk and should continue after a reboot, with the old and new EFI it just reboots after a few seconds and then goes straight into a Monterey recovery console, before when the Picker usually appears. If I delete the previous 1st part Ventura install and try and do it fresh with the new EFI, I get a continuous "find_symbol: magic number doesn't match - 0x1bcdc000", the last part 0x... changes on each try. I believe that this means that the install media is corrupt but I have tried downloading it a number of times via different methods on different machines all with the same result. The exact same media runs smoothly for the 1st part of the install if I run it from within Monterey pointing it to a new disk - tried both an SSD and NVMe drive and there is no difference. Very strange. I downloaded the installer with both the 'RunMe_DownloaderV3' and 'gibMacOS'. My next test will be to do a fresh install of Monterey on another SSD and try and upgrade that to Ventura.

    Would have thought RC/GM would be out by now.

    Thanks. @fabiosununfortunately that doesn't work for me. I tried your EFI exactly as it is except for my own MIMO Whitelist, Memory details and Serial numbers. It let me boot into Monterey but when I try and boot into the Ventura setup it just immediately reboots and on next startup goes to the macOS Monterey Recovery Console. It did the first part, copying the installer bits to the SSD from the installer USB but on the reboot to continue the setup that it where it just immediately reboots and goes to the Monterey Recovery Console. Attached is my own EFI (updated to OC-0.8.5) that boots Monterey fine but with non of the necessary Ventura bits added. When you have a bit of spare time would you mind looking it over and adding/removing what is needed for Monterey & Ventura? Thanks in advance.

    I haven't updated OC for about 6 months nor tried any of the Ventura Betas. As Ventura is nearing final release it is time for me to have a play with it and try all the software I use. Are there any patches, kexts or setting that must be added, deleted or changed to successfully run Monterey and Ventura. I deleted Big Sur ages ago so don't need anything BS only related? Cheers.

    Try running pip3 install xattr in Terminal first.

    Sorry for my absence for the last 8 months or so, but I am back now. My system was so out of date - still running Big Sur and Monterey Beta that I decided to wipe all my discs and start afresh. I have just installed Windows 11 from a USB flash drive created with the MS Media Creation Utility. No problems at all, everything went smoothly and I am now installing all my apps again. After that I will install the latest Monterey on another NVMe drive (Sabrent Rocket 4.0). The only time I ever had any problems installing Windows from scratch was when I tried installing onto a Samsung 970 Evo NVMe drive. As soon as I changed to installing on the Sabrent everything went well.

    I did see the other thread a while ago but things were changing quite often and it was hard to follow and keep uptodate. I think it would be better if the 1st or 2nd post was updated to only keep in the latest files and step by step instructions.
  22. Ploddles
    This is what I have been using since January 2021.
  23. Ploddles
    Monterey RC2 is out. That was quick!
  24. Ploddles
    Is Monterey Beta 8 working for us? Can't be long now before we see a GM.
  25. Ploddles
    Big Sur 11.6 has been released.
