[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

[CaseySJ]

I can't because I haven't USB ports functional one minute after boot

It seems that it's really buggy right now. Even BIOS is behaving funny. (every second restart creates black screen

Some questions:

• Is this a completely fresh installation of Big Sur? No third-party software?
• What PCIe cards are installed in the system?
  • Which GPU?
  • Do you have more than one GPU?
  • Which WiFi/BT card?
  • Any other PCIe cards?
• What Thunderbolt devices are connected?
• What USB devices are connected to the internal USB 2.0 header?
• What USB devices are connected to the external USB ports (other than mouse and keyboard)?
• What is the make/model of the Big Sur NVMe SSD?

now Big Sur dosen't boot anymore

Because i have taken it out of the Kext-Folder. You mean i should disable it in config.plist via OC-Configurator right?

Yes, disable it in config.plist.

It’s okay to connect Fenvi FV-T919 USB cable to internal USB header using the cable that came with Fenvi. This is necessary to enable Bluetooth.

We generally don’t recommend Samsung 970 Pro because “trim” is not compatible with macOS. More details are in the link below.

In the Kernel section of config.plist try setting SetApfsTrimTimeout to 0.

-Freezes are gone!

To be certain that freezes are gone, we need to use the system a little longer! But good to see that it's looking hopeful.

-Bluetooth and WLAN working, but cant't see Devices/Access points!

At OpenCore boot picker, press spacebar to reveal extra options then select Reset NVRAM from the far right. System will reboot automatically. When OpenCore boot picker appears again, press and hold CTRL key when selecting the macOS boot disk. This will make macOS the default boot option.

-Thunderbolt still not working
