Hi Help would needed, as I leave my computer for around 20 minutes alone, after that the whole system is unresponsive, extremely slows down, opening one folder in finder takes up to 2-3 minutes. At energy saver all off, sleep not enabled (do not goes to sleep, just the screensaver starts). even force quit window pops up so late Bios at default, only the necessary changes were done Updated open core, kexts also, mmio done Any ideas? config plist attached thank you duracellconfig.plist.zip

Hi Would you take a look if I have done something here with my efi. MMIO mapped well. Issues: With audio programs, like pro tools and audiogridder having a bunch of timeout problems, with the spinning beachball at the end, many cases pro tools doesn't respond on time and freezes. This same kind of softwares on a real Mac work properly, no without any issues. Same versions same operating systems. Deleted the maybe badly working ethernet kexts, now using an external usbC hub. Computer cannot shutdown, this is maybe an usb mapping issue but could not solved following this thread: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/usb/misc/shutdown.html (I could not find any _prw in my dsdt). Last time I wrote I had booting issues, had to boot 3-4-5 time to have success. Once I unplugged my UA Apollo 16 thunderbolt interface, and this solved my problem. Now swapped to an usbC interface. I had the flashed gigabyte card with the proper ssdt, IOreg was looking good, but this is not important now. With the previous Catalina system I had a much stable system, but I had to upgrade because of the 6600xt videocard thank you EFI.zip

Hi It started few weeks ago, while I used Catalina mainly and Monterey was beta testing for me, because a bunch of audio applications were not working properly. Monterey partition started to have this, then the Catalina startup drive (different nvme with different efi because of the kernel patches) made also. Since then it became worse, I thing I had 12.2 at that time maybe. Until this, I had proper and fast boots) I swapped only the video card in this times from rx580 to 6600xt Tried unplugging the ethernet, doesn't helped. The CCC, this drive was carbon copied 3 days ago with it, from a smaller nvme Now using only Monterey, system seems fine for audio, deleted the Catalina (have a carbon copy on an external drive for safety) btw both of my ethernet cards seems working properly

Unchecked the kext, and the 4th attempt I could boot had the same kind of issue

No, sorry, Monterey , now updated to 12.4 with the same issues, will correct the signature

Hi Since a while I have booting issues . Every day at first time boot freezes almost in he same point, have to make 3-4 restarts, sometimes reboots by itself, but mainly have to hard reset it, and then the system starts normally. Tried to downgrade oc 0.8 to 0.7.9, but I have no more ideas. During the day if I have to restart boots well, but today I had a 5-6 times reload issue also. Hardware wise nothing changed. Most of the time boot freezes at cpu point Sometimes at thunderbolt (gigabyte card flashed) And sometimes the system starts with black screen, but agdpmod pikera is setted up for the 6600xt any ideas? thank you EFI.zip

Hi, thank you Updated my efi with OCAT, and that cleaned out my mistakes EFI monterey 1.1.zip The DSDT was made by Mald0n from olaria, he cleaned up well my previous x399 Asus but, though this will clean things also. Contained cosmetical thing at system info increasePCIsizebar... I can't remember, maybe I was playing with it when I had trouble with my firewire card Nowadays I cannot get and speedstep working, stalls at 3.7Ghz. Before at monterey if I used iMac 18.2 or lower SMBIOS it was working well. All kexts are updated. Now all my drives appear at monterey, some SMBIOS opens my built in usbC port But since I updated to OC7.7 at the picker I cannot see my Catalina drive, only from that own working efi, what version I cannot check, I don't have any answers from terminal (nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version), maybe I have the OC7.5 there. Should I remove the bootstrap.efi? (realized it has no connection, because that is on the efi partition not on the nvme)

Monterey install issues: First of all, I have a properly working Catalina system with this setup (99 percent, the only issue if I shut down the system the computer restarts itself 80 percent of the cases, sometimes shuts down) So I continued my workin efi from Catalina to modify to Monterey. First issue, it was not clean for me to use the new and patches next to the old ones, or I should only use the new ones. I found 2-3 identical patches, so the logical was to only use the new ones. And also this was working. I always stuck during installation with the ssd update process, could not trick it even with different smbioses. So installed the first step trough Catalina to the new SSD and I could boot into this partition, and monterey started. Issues: I use OC 7.7. If I boot with the monterey efi I cannot see my Catalina ssd, only the new nvme. In monterey I cannot see any internal or usb drives, only the boot partition. In system info/SATA I see my drives, but not in finder or in disk utility (pic attached) My boot time is extremely long 6-8 minutes. As I booted with the -v flag, I saw it spends a lot of time with usb things 240sec timeouts 2 times followed. In this point if I removed usb units I saw the system reactions. 2.5G ethernet is working fine, with wifi I can connect, bluetooth maybe not working, but HDD issue is more important first to solve. I would like to update to monterey to swap my video card to a 6800Xt -windows gaming reasons-(6700xt would be better and cheaper, but there are no drivers for that). The best would be make working the rdna2 under Catalina, but I know....... I use it for audio works. I have UAD what is used with firewire in Catalina, but the UAD thrower the firewire support in bigsur.... connection B would be thunderbolt, but this board is not capable for that. BUT now I got a gigabyte alpine ridge card, and at the first boot I saw my connected THB drive to it under catalina, rebooted and it is gone. It is not working under windows, but for one startup it was working, really strange.First have to boot to win, soft restart and then catalina, I can see my thunderbolt harddrive, but doesn’t work with the UAD soundcard. Monterey: I use SMBIOS iMacpro1.1. Catalina works super, here monterey my CPU speedstep is not working cpu goes and stucks only 3.7Ghz. If I change to iMac19.3 or earlier, speedstep is fine goes from 2.8-4.3Ghz. Connected to this case: strange, if I boot to Catalina from external usb efi drive, speedstep never works, only if I boot from the nvme. And also not working if I restart from windows, have to shut down the computer totally. Unsupported kexts: I tried to load the UAD firewire kext in the boot efi/kexts, but had no luck. It is not that easy to change values in the kext plist, and the system will allow to lad the old kexts? Maybe I m too naive in this era , because would be nice to keep using the firewire NVRAM: with this motherboard I could not have native nvram, had to use the fake file method, I don't know if I was doing something wrong Whole EFI partition is attached. thankyou EFI monterey.zip

Hi, thankyou iGPU helped me private, and found the soutlution, that my fw card only wotrks in slot1 and gpu goes to slot3, with this setup the contfiguration is fine, weird It did not wanted to mess up the forum with my problem too many times

Thank you You was right, I was missing the testing with a hard drive. I did it now, the drive was popped up for me in windows with macdrive, but not in osx. And yes, in windows everything is fine. I checked the UAD Apollo 16 interface with my laptop with catalina, and works well trough a TB3-Firewire adaptor (i have only thunderbolts in my MBP 14,3), and the latest driver was not needed for catalina compatibility, and with the trx40 I tried the same and the latest also (i can see at boot, that the UAD kext is loaded at the last step in verbose mode) and my MBP was the testing hard drive, started in target mode and was working trough adapters in windows. (my old external firewire hd power adaptor is dead) I also used firewire in the last 8 years without any problems in the hacks z370 and earlier too, thats why this issue is strange for me, should work easily

Hi Got the power cables, didn't help Ordered the same card as yours, same results If I didn't wrote, all cards, all ports are working fine all slots under windows, so bios wise and phisically they are okay ioreg shows, that kext is loaded, but.... tried different smbioses also, installed a new virgin catalina, high sierra also, to an external drive, removed all the kexts, removed everything to basic default at opencore config at other forum they wrote that this is an amd problem, but not, because it is working for you nowdays this is our only option with OC isnt it? https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/AMD/zen.html tried to force load iofirewire.kext at efi, original and olders also (read somewhere for someone the older mavericks kext solved the problem) my config is attached, if I made a big donkey mistake there.... thank you 🙂 config.plist.zip

🙂 Thank you for the proper demonstration I will wait for my ordered Startech card, if it will work Yesterday tried the neighbours TI chipset card, also not working Have to say, that both cards are working under windows, and his older hacks with high Sierra x299 chipset (I think, older i7) External power never was connected (I also don't have any kind of cable for that.... 🙂 ) I use an UAD Apollo 16 sound card https://reverb.com/p/universal-audio-apollo-16-quad-silver, and it has its own DSP and the own plugins are running there Do you think, that can this firewire issue be connected with Above 4G decoding? Because CSM sport have to be enable for my Gigabyte Aourus rx580 8Gb card (stange issue), and by this I cannot enable above 4G decoding in this board. The previous Designare allowed this combo for me. Funny: Why do we have this thunderbolt option enable???? in our Asrock, or just a bug left there Section 3: Do you also have huge multicore performance difference between win and OS X on the same setup? win: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15754100 osx: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15765221 Other issue: With my designare Z390 I had thunderbolt, I checked to use my UAD with TB and with FW on the same system. With Pro Tools, same session. With TB I had 90% cpu usage, and with FW I had 60%. Strange. Seemed that thunderbolt connection was sitting on the cpu, just like if I used the UHD 630 internal graphics. There I had the same issue. With UHD630 session runs 90%, with rx580 used 50% of the cpu. This was the reason I chose this motherboard, and not to have thunderbolt instead (and of course the price difference)

You can dive into it if you want to 🙂 In this case I had no special issues (only fw 🙂 ), but don't have to use any ssdts, and I think cosemtic things also came into the pci section what I see Restart thing, MMIO poaching was solved by your advices before this In the past it solved my usb issues DSDT.aml.zip

Hi My drivers are seem to be loaded Firewire tab is still empty I have an extra link speed string, so it double-checks me that the card is recognised I don't know who made this card, I see only that is has the LSI L-FW643-6-BP chip, what as I know is the same what the real Macs had/or have I have been using this card since 6-8 years in my older hack builds, always was working How do you know that this card is single or dual? I had only problem when I swapped from my Asus prime z370 do a gigabyte designare z390 because of the thunderbolt, the designare was not booting with it (bios update solved this), then I swapped the fw card with my neighbour to a Texas instrument card , that was fine with the designare, and now we swapped back. His card also was not working in this setup in the trx40's. (my first set was an Aurus trx40 wifi with 3960X, then I swapped to this bigger set after two weeks) Today I have ordered the same card what iGPU has, hoping the bests Thank you ALL for your help, by the way!!!! I was thinking that I have some IRQ problems maybe. I'm not pro at editing that. Tried the automatic SSDTTIME, without success. For this setup Mald0n at olarila made me a proper dsdt, where all the issues are solved, except this, so I think that the IRQ's have to be right I use my hacks for audio production swapped from i7 to this monster to handle more plugins for me, what it does, so using the UAD sound card (with the own dsp) is a kind of mandatory, and with this board I have no thunderbolt option (BUT we have thunderbolt enable option in the bios LOL!!!)

Hi Thank you. Tried all the three free slots, with the same result, it shows up in the PCI slots (as I correct the device path), but not working, No FireWire ports were found. in the Firewire section
