    This is what we like to see. Borrowed an RX470 from a friend for a few hours and finally managed to get 11.4 beta 1 installed. With just the RX 6800/6900 XT the install always just hung at 12 minutes remaining and the keyboard and mouse would lock up. Happened on both a fresh install and an update from 11.2.1. Strange situation but all working now. I also updated the BIOS to F4q which required a new MMIO whitelist as a few values changed. @Jaidy I'll send you the new EFI later in the week. All working great apart from Opencanopy, just the text list rather than the graphical interface showing ATM, probably an easy fix when I get time.

    Yes, resizable bar is disabled. I don't think I will have time this weekend to play but I'll try and sort it out next week.

    For those of you who have successfully updated to the 11.4 beta, did you have to run the installer/updater with another card and then install the 6800/6900 or could you update/install with the 6800/6900 already in the machine. I managed to download the full installer on another machine and create a bootable installer USB drive. I tried, just the once, to do an install with the 6900 in the PC and it hangs at about 30%. I'll have another play tomorrow night but I don't have an RX580 anymore as my old one stopped working so I need to install with the 6900XT already in the Hack.

    Have you added the boot arg agdpmod=pikera in your config.plist?

    Oh well, the developer account I used to use to download betas has expired. Looks like I'll have to wait for a public beta to drop somewhere before I can try it. Hope you guys have fun whilst I wait in anticipation. I need a full installer I can use to create a USB install drive as I can't boot into macOS on my machine atm. I can't be bothered to install an old version, register it for the beta program and then do a software update.

    OC 0.6.8 and you can download the EFI from HERE

    Anyone managed to try it yet? My download says it is going to take 7 hours!! I guess there are a lot of people eager to get it.

    I’ve put my 6900 to good use whilst I wait. Since Xmas it has earned me about £450 mining so it is over 1/2 way paid for itself. I’d rather have it working in macOS but it is fine in Windows and isn’t just sat there doing nothing but being a paperweight.

    Big Sur 11.3 has finally gone to Release Candidate state. Let's hope this is the final one for .3 and we go to 11.4 beta 1 in the next few days. If there is no support for the 6000 series cards at that stage then I doubt we will ever see it in Big Sur.

    Still using F4p. F4q will probably need the MIMOWhitelist to be updated. I still don't have a replacement for my RX580 and the RX6900XT is unbootable for me at the moment. I could install an older version of BS, or Catalina, but can't be bothered for the time being. If support doesn't come in the next beta (11.4 beta 1) then I'll bite the bullet and install BS 11.2 and stay with that for a while. I'm just using Windowz at the moment with the 6900. @fabiosun My latest OC 0.6.8 EFI, which is set up for F4p MIMOWhitelist, can be downloaded from HERE.

    Have a look HERE (if I'm allowed to point to another forum). You could try one of those as is. You may need to modify it slightly as they are for another MB but hopefully it may work without any change.

    BS 11.3 beta 7 now out. Still not reached RC stage so they must be having major problems with it. As @fabiosunsaid a while ago, maybe all to do with M1 problems. They can't release it for X86 only as they would them be a laughing stock.
  13. Ploddles
    I'd take the 3080 out of the system until you get macOS installed and running. You can add it back later and disable it either with an SSDT to disable the slot it is in or in the config with the new whatevergreen.kext which enables disabling a GPU.

    The reboot on shutdown is usually fixed by disabling Wake on Lan in the BIOS. On a general issue - Quite a long list in the new OC 0.6.8 changelog. Just glanced through them so I don't know if there is any big benefit for us. Will try it at a later date.
  15. Ploddles
    That is a lot of betas for 1 release.
  16. Ploddles
    Nothing to get excited about in this update.
  17. Ploddles
    @fabiosunPlease find attached the latest Opencore 0.6.7 EFI for the Aorus Xtreme, for use with BIOS version F4p. With this latest BIOS most of the MIMO whitelisting value have changed, without these changes Big Sur will not boot. Catalina will boot but won't shut down.
  18. Ploddles
    Are you running Big Sur or Catalina? After updating to F4p on the Aorus Xtreme I found I could boot into Catalina but not Big Sur. I used one of my old OC Debug version (0.6.2) USBs and checked the MMIO values in the report and found that they had not changed at all. It stumped me for a while until I decided to double check the Debug report and I ran it again. Only then did I realise that when I checked the earlier report I had looked at the wrong one, an older version. Doh 🤬 With every BIOS update prior to this one the MMIO values remained the same so I wasn't surprised they hadn't changed when I checked. Fortunately I am off for my eye sight test later today, totally coincidental. 😀 Indeed the MMIO values had all changed. As soon as I updated my config.plist with the new values it booted fine into both Catalina and Big Sur. This has been verified by another user on here with the same MB, he can also boot fine with the new MMIO values. I just need to put together a new zip file for the sight so @fabiosuncan update the OP so anyone else with the same MB can download it to get them started.

    @Jaidy @fabiosun Latest Opencore 0.6.7 EFI for Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Extreme (with fancy Opencanopy graphics) Download HERE Also
  20. Ploddles
    Opencore 0.6.7 has been released, together with new Lilu, Whatevergreen etc.
  21. Ploddles
    Has anybody tried the new Beta 2 of BS 11.3, it seems it has been re-released as "macOS Big Sur Beta 11.3 (20E5186e)", i.e. gone from 'd' to 'e'? I'm guessing it is just a minor update to fix the install corruption if you don't have enough free disk space because the installer fails to check.
  22. Ploddles
    I don't have any problems with it either. Gigabyte are always pretty slow on releasing updated BIOSs, but as it is working fine for me I'm not worried by them not updating their website with it.
  23. Ploddles
    Anyone tried BS 11.3 beta 2 (20E5186d) yet?
  24. Ploddles
    @JaidyI have messaged you.
  25. Ploddles
    HERE you go. I haven't tried it with BS 11.3 Beta 1 yet but have added the additional patch so hopefully it should be OK. As usual, test it on a USB stick first before replacing your main one. I have also updated my BIOS to F4n, the MMIO Whitelist hasn't changed at all. That is HERE if you want it (at present it is not available on the Gigabyte web site but is available if you request it from them).
