this is your SOnoma working EFI with opencore debug to extract your SysReport folder

if your EFI booted well sonoma and sequoia this should do the same 

It will add in your EFI partition your actual SysReport folder

If so post this folder zipped here

try it only with Sonoma (or Sequoia if you have also Sequoia installed)

Hi @fabiosun, 
I tested the EFI you shared on my system in both Sequoia and Sonoma and shared the resulting sysreport files via the link below.

try this in sonoma and  or Sequoia and see if it boots

if so try also Tahoe..i changed ACPI/ssdt via SSDT Time and updated kernel patches for tahoe (deleted aquantia one idk if they support Tahoe for now (if it boots you can try to add back then)

pls

backup always your working efi

@fabiosun, 
I tried installing Tahoe with the EFI you sent last, and my device restarted. I encountered the restart issue every time I tried again. The Sonoma and Sequoia installations with the same EFI are opening without any problems.
Is there another solution you can suggest? 

 

Thanks for help.

@Xsarioi am running out of good idea

may i ask why in your working config you use Aquantia ethernet patches?

Have you an aquantia ethernet on pcie card?

@fabiosun,
This is really unfortunate. I don't understand why I experienced these issues on the Tahoe with a similar configuration system.
Yes, I have a 10G Aquantia Ethernet card in the PCIx slot.

@Xsariowhat BIOS version are you on? I’m using the latest without any problems.

@Ploddles, 
I am using version 3304 on my system. Could you share your BIOS settings with me? I may have made a mistake in some BIOS settings. 🙂

Sure.

First I do the Load Optimised Defaults (on the Exit screen).

Memory I set at 5400

Press F9 (search option) type CONTEXT and Enable both values

Save & Exit

 

I haven't played with changing the Memory settings but that works fine for me - I could try other settings but I don't think it would make much difference.

Hi @Ploddles, 
I followed the same steps you shared, and my system restarted again. I booted Sonoma and Sequia with the same EFI, and the installation screen appeared without any issues.  

[Ploddles]

All I can think of now is it may be the usb mapping. When I get home this afternoon I’ll upload a dummy one you can try. 

[Xsario]

Alright, thank you, my friend.

[Ploddles]

@Xsario, try this instead of USBMap.kext.

USBMapDummy.kext.zip

@Ploddles,
This didn't work either. I'm starting to suspect this new BIOS. The system was more stable before the BIOS update. 
Is there another BIOS you can recommend? 
If the problem is with the USB configuration, how can I create my own kext for Tahoe? 

[Ploddles]

All the BIOS versions work for me. I think the only relevant difference between our systems is that you have the additional network card installed. If possible, it may be worth trying the install without the card in your machine.

 

To create the USB kext, you need to download and run CorpNewts script, which can be downloaded from GitHub, https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap. 

 

You can run it from Sonoma or Sequoia.

I purchased a new drive to try a fresh Tahoe install. To start with it was continually rebooting just like yours did.

 

However, I finally got it installed and working with the attached EFI.

Yeni bir Tahoe kurulumu denemek için yeni bir sürücü satın aldım. Başlangıçta tıpkı sizinki gibi sürekli yeniden başlatılıyordu.

 

Ancak sonunda kurulumu yaptım ve ekteki EFI ile çalışır hale getirdim.

Hi @Ploddles,

Thank you for the good news. I'll try it when I have time. Also, the new BIOS version 3402 is out. Have you updated to this version?

Hi @fabiosun @Ploddles, 
 

I tried installing Tahoe 26.3.2 again with the latest EFI you shared, but it failed. 
I can briefly summarize my attempts as follows. 
I updated the motherboard's BIOS version to 3513.
I reset the BIOS to default and only updated the memory as you previously shared, then changed the CONTEXT and saved it. 
I removed the Aquantic card from my device.
I booted from the EFI, but I noticed a freeze during boot, as shown in the image I shared.

Alsa I have shared my EFI for you. 
 

Could you help me with the Tahoe installation?
Thanks for help.
