    HOW TO INSTALL MONTEREY BETA 8 ON THREADRIPPER TRX40s

     

     

    As you may have seen on OSX Discord server... last nights install of Monterey beta 8 didn't go to plan. It downloaded fine with j160 reboot, then when SBM=Disabled and Nvram reset, it wouldn't install beta 8 despite three re-download attempts too.

    I didn't want to go the iMac17,1 way so I thought I would wait until a solution cropped up. Today, it did.

     

    The new version of RestrictEvents Kext together with the latest Release candidate of OC 0.74 now works - and it won't upset your memory configuration (as set out by iGPU)

     

    Here's the RestrictEvents kext, & download OC0.74: RestrictEvents.zip

    Source: https://github.com/acidanthera/RestrictEvents/commit/2430ed06c15a9f3dd94634ab68e208c8b762e11d

     

    This will negate the need to do anything like change your SMBIOS to iMac17,1 OR SBM=j160 🙂

     

    Just install OC0.74, include the restrictEvents kext in your kext folder, then Propertree snapshot it into your config/EFI.

     

    Reboot, it sees the update, installs, reboots just fine!

    Job done.

     

     

    I confirm the driftwood method with OpenCore 0.7.4 and RestrictEvents.Kext allows upgrading to Monterey Beta 8 without modifying the SMBIOS.

     

    As I do not support the RestrictEvents memory layout information window, I used the boot argument: revnopatch = mempci to find the one for a 2019 Mac Pro.

    After all I have a Mac Pro 2021🤪

    Thanks Arrakis 🙂

     

    1) whats the easiest way to remove it? I am used to running Hackintosh with Glover but I have about zero clue about the config.plist. So removing makes me a bit scared as I think I might damage something.

    2) the card that came with the mobo is broken, it is not even detected by the BIOS. Replacement was hard to get but it should be there next week. Do I need another version of the SSDT if its Revision 2 or vice versa?

    3) ah I can just string replace and should be happy?

    4) I double checked the manual and was never able to see which slot is number 4. I guess to one closest to the CPU is 1 and downwards are 2,3,4?

    5) yes good point 😄

     

     

    @gosi

    You can update to Big Sur 11.6. Intel I210 ethernet ports still work.

    They will work under Monterey only from beta 7.

    Slot 4 is the last one at the bottom (See Screen capture)

    I can not answer for the SSDT in case of TitanRidge Rev2 card.

    Several things:
    1) In the config.plist you can delete in DeviceProperties the values of my graphics cards and possibly that of the titan ridge if you do not install it.

    2) If you do not use the titan ridge card you can delete the SSDT-DTGP and SSDT-TBOLT3-NVM23 from the config plist and also delete them from the ACPI folder of the EFI

    3) The ram values should be replaced by yours in all banks.

    4) as part of the installation of the Titan Ridge card, it must be installed in slot 4.

     

    5) Wait until I update Big Sur 11.6 so as not to put a potential problem (I210) on you.

     

    I am under the AGESA bios version 1.0.0.4 (FBd).
    As long as you don't have an AMD 6000 series card, there is no point in upgrading to AGESA version 1.0.0.5 (FBi) which brings Add Re-size bar support on Windows (not supported by MacOS).

    You can try this EFI under OpenCore 0.7.2

    For me, this is the best since I started.

    I am using the WIFi AX200 from the motherboard without problems.

     

    Under Monterey it also works.

    Add the kext BlueToolFixup.kext

    Change the IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext version for Monterey

    Remove the IntelBluetoothInjector.kext

     

    @fabiosun

    You can put this EFI in OP

    here is explained well

    copy kext in kext folder and declare it (plist in text mode attached in his message)

     

    I do not think is useful, but it is simple to try

     

    I had not tested on Big Sur 11.5.2, it works with just the I210.kext,

    but it is broken for Monterey yet the IONetWorkingFamily.kext is still in the same location System / Extensions / ... location with the ten kexts taken in identical load and versions.

    @Arrakis

    you have declared your kext in a bad place I think

    (under kernel/Patch))

    you have to add it in usual section (Kernel/add)

     

    follow this:

    in kext plist is present this ID:

    No, I was not wrong, I put the I210.kext file in the correct folder in this case EFI / OC / Kexts

     

    The problem stems from the second file I named Patch I210 Arrakis.plist that needs to be added to the kernel.

    1) add the values in key base, key count, key find, key identifier, key limit, key mask, key replace, key replace mask, key skip in this file

    2) the second linked to the No schema for BundlePath, ExecutablePatch, PlistPath always in the same file.

    Because if I understood the principle correctly, this patch will indicate the loading of the kext I210.kext
