The error msgs are probably due to out of date kext files.

 

As for the EFI, there are many errors in your config file when trying to run ocvalidate, which could also contribute to the error msgs. I've fixed all errors and updated to OC v073.

 

I've updated whole EFI, including kexts. I removed several items and inactivated some; changed patches, used different SSDT files, and re-vamped the NVRAM section.

 

Also what exact BT/Wifi are you using? It's not clear what you're using; you had an odd mix of BT files which made no sense to me. I inactivated for now; you should not need BT/Wifi to boot (unless you only have BT mouse, but for trouble shooting, I only recommend wired mouse & KB). I've found that Monterey works with AIC without any kexts (but this depends on AIC, etc).

 

Attempt to boot as is without changing anything in EFI. If this boots (and it should work with either Big Sur or Monterey), post an IORE file and I can possibly customize the USB devices with an SSDT.

Are you booting from Sabrent drive or Samsung? Best to use Sabrent. Also disable NVMeFix kext for a test.

 

I also did not check your Mmiowhite list, keeping it the same as we have different mobos. Double check it.

I did not know you had Aquantia (I checked and you did not have them in the config file you uploaded, so I left out). You need to add the following to Patches:

As for black screen, enable WEG and add agdpmod=pikera  to boot argument in "csr-active-config".

I have my ethernet working added agdpmod=pikera to my boot augments. We are up and running on Big Sur but it reboots on Monteray  never get to login screen .  I have -v in boot arguments but it does not hang in the screen were I can show error.

 I  looked at IGPU threads and recommendations and still can not boot  Ito Monteray. I can boot into Big Sur fine and everything is working. Have attached my current EFI and IORE Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Carefully read what I write. I'm usually concise and reasonably accurate. There are 2 sections I cannot check: MmioWhitelist and your ethernet kext. If ethernet is working then the kext is probably fine. If you can boot into Big Sur, the MmioWhiltelist is probably fine too.

 

*****

 

First off, the IORE you uploaded is an app, not your IORE file. Run IORE and do a "save as" and upload that file.

 

Second, you extensively changed the config.plist file I spent more than an hour fixing last time. I again spent over an hour today re-re-fixing your config file.

 

Do NOT change anything in this config file until fabiosun or I have gotten feedback from you. If you continue to fiddle with the config file (with apparently no understanding), you waste all of our time. For example, you'd completely replaced the Kernel/Patch section, so I had to carefully re-check each entry as the order was different and I had no idea what you'd done.

 

I've re-done the SSDT section and supplied new files. Nothing there, as is, will prevent booting. Do not change it. We can refine later (with WEG active, no GPU SSDT is required).

 

I've also removed your fancy log-in icons. It is back to basics. Leave this stuff alone while we are trouble shooting. After everything is booting properly, you're on your own with icons and change to your heart's content. But not before.

 

Some of the problems:

 

After fixing most of problems, I ran the ocvalidate and still had 40 errors that you'd introduced:

And the tool section was not what I uploaded to you (this section alone gave 40 errors). Don't change this section; you'll never use it.

The most unbelievable change you'd made was in the DevProp section as partially shown in Spoiler below (my monitor is not large enough to show it all in one shot). I'm surprised anything booted. It's now done to 1 (one).

I really do and appreciate all your help and support. 

I did have a back up  the config I was  just trying out different things . I will  follow your istratuctions  based on the EFI you sent me  I can not boot with Big Sur or Monterey I this is  the error I get.  I ran IOREG from terminal and saved it and is attached.

Terminal?

 

No, IORE:

Maybe you have a corrupted BIOS. I would re-flash latest version and then go over settings with fabiosun.

 

But before flashing the BIOS, try re-setting NVRAM from the OC boot menu (press space bar when menu is up and scroll to left). You have your menu set for 10 sec (I don't use timed log in; but I left your settings), so you need to press a key before it auto boots after 10 sec.

 

(With all respect to fabiosun, I don't think a lack of an SSDT-EC file is the cause of boot failure. In fact, a re-naming of an EC device can lead to system instability.)

His system is not booting (If I have understood well he saved Ioreg output from a recovery terminal window)

 

SSDT-EC.aml often solves error he shows in his pictures

I Have attached the 2 clean EFI that IGPU sent me . The one IGPU sent me on Thursday "IGPU EFI-valmeida-update"  to make it work all id did was to add the SSDT -EC.aml  from Fabionsun and add the Aquitaine patches. It boots fine with Big Sur no Monteray . The second one I received last nite "IGPU EFI-valmeida-2" I get the error message attached when booting into Big Sur .  I did noticed that the SSDT-EC.aml was all ready in the ACPI. I added fabioson version to see if this will work and I received the same error.  I have attached my ioreg by using IORegistryExplorer.  Thank you for all your help and support.  I also reset the nvram and update my bios.

@valmeida,

 

 you have two ssdt disabled in this EFI so if you use this config and it start in BS and not in MR is weird 🙂

Also SSDT disabled are ssdt-EC and 3-SSDT-6900xt.aml

have you tried with those ones ON?

 

Expand  

I now able to boot  Big Sur  from IGPU EFI he sent me last nite by enabling   ssdt-EC and 3-SSDT-6900xt.aml. I will try to boot Monteray and will let you know .
