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

Been a few months and, luckily, your settings have helped me tremendously! I haven't encountered the prohibited symbol since following your steps and just wanted to reach out and thank you again! :) But I do have one question... is it safe to upgrade to the new OS through the built-in software updater, or will that ruin everything again? lmao

Yes it's quite safe to update through the built-in updater. BUT we must:
  • Make a full bootable backup of the existing system because anything can go wrong.
  • Do this after backing up, but before starting the Catalina update.
  • And then check this post carefully, especially the bullet points regarding Boot macOS Install from ...

This was not meant as a panacea for sleep/wake issues, but as a standard part of CLOVER configuration when installing macOS. The patch was originally developed for Sierra, if I recall correctly, and may have become obsolete since.

Troubleshooting sleep/wake issues requires us to apply the process of elimination as previously described here:

Here it is Please enable Put hard disks to sleep when possible. Then invoke sleep from the Apple menu and capture the same log again. If this does not work, we may have to resort to Process of Elimination by disconnecting all devices except keyboard, mouse, and GPU.

I would suggest disconnecting all USB internal and external devices except:
  • Keyboard
  • Mouse
So we should disconnect even the following:
  • Bluetooth USB cable
  • Anything connected to F_USB header on motherboard
  • All USB hubs and other USB devices
  • All Thunderbolt devices
I've been doing something for a while now that I haven't mentioned before, namely:
  • Right after installing macOS and completing the post-installation procedure, I make a full bootable backup on a spare external SATA SSD.
    • SATA SSDs are so inexpensive these days that I'm actually shocked at how many of them I have now!
  • This serves as an enduring baseline or golden reference.
    • This SSD is only updated after a major O/S update and only after everything in that installation has been found to work.
    • It is not updated daily or weekly or at any other regular frequency, but only after O/S updates.
  • So if something does go wrong in the future, I can always boot from the golden reference.
    • If necessary, I can then reinstall any missing apps on a copy of the golden reference.
    • This helps me identify offending apps or even to rebuild the main system from a known working "checkpoint".

I didn't expect a miracle but reckoned it was worth doing. I will unplug...
I do have a clean Catalina install on ssd however. It sleeps.

Anyone have issues updating to macOS 10.15.1 from 10.15? Every time I try to update it seems to brick my macOS boot and the install macOS and install macOS reboot don't work either. Verbose shows that it is panicking. MacOS does a sudden shutdown kinda like my previous issue with the unreal haven benchmark. I keep going back to my bootable backup to fix it.

Anyone have any ideas or similar experience? I am currently restoring back to my bootable backup and will hold off updating for now.

  • This is your X99 Asus Deluxe II we're talking about?
Yes
  • You installed the GC-Titan Ridge card into that system, but did not connect the THB_C header?
Yes. THB_C header connected
  • Did you connect any other cables such as?
    • Two PCI power cables from the PSU to the GC-Titan Ridge?
    • USB 2.0 header cable?
No
  • For hot plug on macOS, did you install the Thunderbolt hot plug SSDT?
    • Or no SSDT at all?
It's the original X99 Asus Deluxe II EFI file you uploaded.
I attached a screenshot.

  • If you do a cold start (i.e. shutdown system and flip power switch on PSU for 10 seconds) and boot directly into macOS with no Thunderbolt devices connected, then hot plug a Thunderbolt device, does it show up?
Today I unplugged the power cable from the PSU, after 30 seconds, I plugged in the power cable and boot into Mojave. I then hot plug thunderbolt 3 cable attached to a thunderbolt G-Raid drive and the drive mounted successfully. I suppose is good news!

That’s just awesome. I am going to be 98 dollars poorer today as I place my order! :)

In your screenshot, see that little innocent file there called SSDT-X99-TB3HP.aml? That’s the Thunderbolt hot plug SSDT.

@Stork, it seems Thunderbolt hot plug is doable on Asus X99 Deluxe II with Gigabyte’s GC-Titan Ridge and the aforementioned SSDT. I plan to try this out in a few days.

The GC-Titan Ridge has arrived. We get to live an extra hour this weekend, so what better way to spend it!

Thanks for this research @CODYQX4. Just wanted to add that after second boot DVMT settings show up in BIOS. I don't see them there right after flushing to F8. I remember that now. It's probably because I immediately disabled iGPU on F8 in all cases. I remember on F7 having to enable iGPU...

Lol. Savior. I’ll do this later. Thanks!

Please see this as well, but update "VirtualSMC" only if you are already using it. If you're using FakeSMC instead, then you only need to update Lilu, WhateverGreen, and AppleALC.
