@valmeida

On all 1G and 10G ethernet ports?

@fabiosun

This is straight to a kernel panic after logging in.

@fabiosun Could you explain your last two posts? , Do you work on temperatures?

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

I have found a strong lead that is interesting here and is consistent with what I have been thinking from the start of this problem (Big Sur 11.4 in Monterey), namely indicating the correct folder for the I210 modules to be operational.

I checked the kext and it is still existing in Monterey. 

I tested the proposed solution as it is but obviously it does not work because you have to modify the kext (patch) otherwise there will be an error starting again.

I have verified the vendor id is 8086 and the product id is 1533 for i210.

Could someone help me adapt this solution?

Both files are taken from the forum mentioned above. I haven't changed anything.

i210.kext.zipPatch I210 Arrakis.plist.zip

For me too, update to  B5 without any problems.

But, still with the Ethernet ports assigned but not functional.

I may have to buy an Aquantia card ...😒

I'm not very enthusiastic about this idea ...😒

I personally have not found any problems, even changing in Misc / Security / ExposeSensitiveData from 0 to 8, it also detects my motherboard,

 

@fabiosun la mia carretta 🤬

I have the same problem as @iGPUwith the new version SMCAMDPProcessor.kext making my system unstable

and moreover I no longer have the temperature near the CPU in iStat Menus (I use this application because I have GPU temperatures and other constants ...)

I reverted to the previous version. The ExposeSensitiveData value is indeed 8 to recognize my motherboard.

Successful installion of Monterey from BigSur 11.5.1.

Update is scrolling without problems.

I did the installation from the EFi posted above here with two changes in the kexts (AirportItlwm-Mont.kext, BlueToolFixup.kext) and delete of the IntelBluetoothInjector.kext

WiFI and Bluetooth operational.

But I have the same problem as when I went from 11.3.1 to 11.4

No more ethernet connection.

The I210 ethernet modules are more recognized while the kexts are included in the OS so in theory recognized natively.

Edited : My config.plist Arrakis Monterey Open Core 0.7.2.zip 

@fabiosun 

Here is my new Efi under OpenCore 0.7.2 with the patches for Monterey simplified to 11.

To put in the OP.

Works perfectly under BigSur 11.5.1

I haven't done the Monterey installation test yet.

if weird frezee you have are not related to your thunderbolt card...there is a problem with topology patch i think (included in ProvvideCPuCountInfo)

The Arrakis config - step4 starts Big Sur but restarts but less often The Arrakis config - step3

Starts Monterey Beta 3 installer and begins installation but hangs ... with the message "An error occurred while preparing for installation….."

and this should be last step...

added these two patches and disable a lot of them...

 

PR_Algrey Force set cpuid_cores_per_package-10.15.x -11.x

PR_Algrey Force set cpuid_cores_per_package-12.x

 

I use "18" that is your exdecimal cores count (24 cores)

let we see if it could work now

 

The config-arrakis-2 step starts Big Sur but I get the same error as the onfig-arrakis-1 step config for the Monterey installation.

The config-arrakis-3 step starts Big Sur but very unstable restarts or freezes.

On the other hand, starts the installer Monterey Beta 3 and begins the installation but freezes at various stages. (I tried several times without changing anything)

@Arrakis

when you have time this is a "clean" config.plist taken from your EFI

if system starts the same..I will proceed in a further step.

I have only disabled stuff

 

Starts well Big Sur 11.4 and 11.5 but for the installation of Monterey B3 it stops there. 

 I call back on the off chance with all of the patches, I can install Monterey B1.

Thank you very much Fabiosun, the efi above here was used to clean Install Big Sur 5 and it boots on 11.4 and 11.5 so you can take it as a reference.

if you have enough patience ..

try this:

with BS an Monterey if you have

 

Still not possible to boot on Big Sur 11.4 or 11.5.

When I try to install Monterey Beta 3 from a stick. I get an endless sequence (See Capture).

During my test day I already had this and I had disabled all kexts concerning Airport, bluetooth, wifi without result.

@Arrakisdownloaded your EFI, there is a minimal correction on it you can do

I think patches maintainer will update as soon they can also their GitHub:

 

algrey - _cpuid_set_info - GenuineIntel to AuthenticAMD - 10.13/10.14/10.15/11.0/12.0

 

21.99.99 should be 20.99.99 (maxKernel)

 

this has already been reported and will be corrected shortly

I changed the value of MaxKernel and already change the EFI on my post above.

with your previous EFi if you like try this

obviously before with systems working with your EFI then if It works also for more complicated one 🙂

Backup your 😉

 

I noticed what you modified in the patch. How I could not understand ..... your explanation however precise.😒

I tested. with your modified config.plist and I can't boot Big Sur 4. The change stops after selecting the system.

Attached is the debug file.

Slightly off the mainstream topic (12.x booting), I have some random crashes I'm trying to figure out. The system works well, but sometimes, though seemingly randomly, I get a reboot.

 

I attached a screen. It seems to be CPU related, if I look at the listed kexts. But what could cause the random reboots? No over/underclock settings, CPU is at stock in BIOS.

Cheers!

 

PS: Good luck with 12x Monty, all the power to you 🙂

@AllubzHere is my EFI OpenCore 0.7.1 and with the CPU topology patch that Fabiosun talks about

Try it with this version of OpenCore to see if the problem persists.

@fabiosun You can put it in OP if you want.

Edit : 

This is the right one.

OpenCore 0.7.1 for Big Sur 11.4 & 11.5

EFI ARRAKIS OPENCORE0.7.1.zip

I managed to install the Monterey B1 version from an EFI OpenCore 0.7.1.

Then I tried to boot with Shanne's PR EFI OpenCore 0.7.2 without success.

Even try all eGPU suggestions once again. Here

I spent my day trying multiple studies of combinations to no avail. I am stopping there for the moment.

I'm not even talking about attempts to upgrade Monterey B3 which each time breaks the installation of beta B1 and back to square one.😒

@fabiosunno, i don't prefer to test with clover i don't know anything about it.
I prefer to stay on opencore because at least I am on familiar ground.
even though I don't have your knowledge levels.😀

A few comments regarding your config file. But first, are you trying to boot into BS or new Monterey; if latter, then do a fresh install (as I mentioned in a recent post above).

 

When systems behave strangely, remove un-necessary items. In your case, remove the TB AIC (and note Spoiler below) and any USB devices if possible.

Kext adjustment (also, if not necessary, since you had so many problems with I225, maybe disable those kexts and unplug your ethernet cables until system booting reliably):

  Reveal hidden contents

 

I'd use change these Kernel/Quirks (Boot/Quirks look ok):

And you might try a MmioWhitelist variation:

Your Patches look ok, but the following are not needed for BS onwards and could be removed:

Finally, the UEFI section: a few changes to try:

I started under 11.4 with the efi modified according to your remarks.

I launched the installation on a volume from the disk image which is in the application folder of BigSur 11.4 so a clean instal.

Same result, the first part is installed correctly but on the second start always the same error.

my modified config.plist following your remarks and the debug file.

@fabiosunit's the same, here are the last lines loading the system and the debug file

have to try asking other x570 platform users if they use this patch on their working rigs

In case, can you post the config.plist you are trying to start Monterey with?

thank you

 

here is my config.plist under your Opencore 0.7.2 version

Arrakisconfig.plistzip.zip

@fabiosunI can't get the screenshot because the behavior is different. I can log into the session then after 1 min reboot .... and so on.
The screenshot is when I switch the efi back to the other with dummypowermanagement enabled.
I don't know if this can help?

Not in the conventional way or based only on configuration.pdf or on very famous guides that have often copied things from us (and pass me the joke, even in a wrong way) 🙂

so I would like to understand with you when you have your system fully functional the relationship between for example:

 

0) patches

1) DummyPowerManagement

2) RebuildAppleMemoryMap

3) SetupVirtualMap

4) ProvideCurrentCpuInfo

 

in particular, because 1) not all trx40 users need it, but all Gigabyte users for example and x570 users

Because 2) it can be circumvented in some cases

4) why an important patch like Disable _x86_validate_topology some need it and others don't and if it is not needed, what happens by activating the superquirk 4)?

 

These are just thoughts of a midsummer morning 😉

but I wanted to share them with you!

@fabiosun

As you can see, I have the exact same quirks as yours.
This means that it is starting to have uniformity between motherboards. (MSI TRX40 Creator, Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Xtreme, MSI Trx40 Pro 10G, Gigabyte TRX40 Designare)

I have to keep the DummyPowerManagement activated otherwise I get this error (Screen capture)
I'm still on your version of Open Core 0.7.2.

I will try to remake a Monterey B3 instal today if I have time.

@PloddlesDo you also have to activate Dummy Power Management?
