wow great score…makes me think I should have saved up for a 7970x…

 

I came across a Reddit post of a user having trouble with their Asus…perhaps related? They mentioned a USB firmware update from ASUS that can only be done from Windows.

 

The ASUS support page: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/workstation/pro-ws-trx50-sage-wifi/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=Pro-WS-TRX50-SAGE-WIFI conveniently mentions that we need to run some ".exe" file to update USB firmware.

Probably some issues with kernel patches as MMIO whitelisting have been investigated and implemented... Some serial debugging must be done for this specific mainboard: probably only a specific patch must be refined or other ones created from scratch.

 

Without having your exact hardware and a serial debugger it is very difficult to help you right now.

 

Probably you can try the Proxmox way, same performance, only a bit more complicated:

Hi @backinblackx86,

 

Thank you for the information. Perhaps the issue lies with the USB firmware, but I am unsure how to fix it. Please let me know if you have any ideas regarding this problem.

Thank you. Let me try to enable these quirks, hope it works.

@Jerry-agcan you try this with that EFI

remember always seriaql OFF in bios

Expand  

Hi @fabiosun@backinblackx86, 

I have tested with this config.plist, which has enabled kernel quirks AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock. There is no change; it remains stuck at the same point.

Yes i knew it but i wanted to take @backinblackx86advice so he is happy 🙂🙂

also calculate slide area is not an option because your debug said you have it available and well calculated

 

i am out of any smart idea for now to test!

😞

Hi @fabiosun,

 

I am grateful for your assistance; I have gained valuable knowledge from you. However, the issue with the Asus motherboard is complex. Hopefully, we can find a solution soon. Thank you!

kind of think of it, my MsI B550 5900x build has a similar symptom as this ASUS, it hangs at the same exact point where it won’t boot Monterey, yet Sonoma and Ventura are fine. Could it be a similar cause. Have you tried older OS?

Yes, I tried to boot to install with Ventura and Sonoma, and even with Bigsur too.

Hello @Lorys89,

 

Thank you for your EFI files. I have tested all of them, but it still hangs at the same point. Note that I tried using another EFI from my Dell workstation (successful installed with Sonoma) for testing, but it encountered the same problem. That's very weird.

Ciao@Lorys89,

 

Grazie per i tuoi file EFI. Li ho provati tutti, ma si blocca ancora allo stesso punto. Tieni presente che ho provato a utilizzare un altro EFI dalla mia workstation Dell (installato con successo con Sonoma) per i test, ma ha riscontrato lo stesso problema. E' molto strano.

does the DELL workstation have oclp installed?

yes, to confirm, are you trying to boot a cloned, pre-made, installation with recovery or full installer? via nvme? have you tried a sata ssd? usb?

Expand  

Hi @backinblackx86,

 

Thank you for your information. Currently, I can only boot with the full installer via three different USBs, which include macOS Big Sur, Ventura, and Sonoma. However, none of them are working. I will try to boot with nvme too.
