Asrock x299 taichi CLX

[lrva]

Thank you so much @kylec and @Loloflatsix great links and info! , i start to read it carefully (the guide), and I'm following step by step, as soon as I have feed back I will be posting back.

In the mean time I check the Efi folder that @Loloflatsix post, without the npci 0x2000 and stop at pci configuration begin, So I added npci & pcirootUI and then move on to APfs module start. but Still no moving the installation

After trying other boot flags its move on to a different problem. (AMFILoadTrustedKeysFromNVRam see screenshot) i read in the web that this problem is USB related.... but still no solution.

My third test was with a EFI from the guide of X299 clover. (https://github.com/KGP/X299-EFI-Folder-Distributions/blob/master/EFI-X299-10.13.6-Release-iMacPro1,1-141018.zip)

Still stuck on APFS module start.

I will follow the entire guide, and I will post back here with the details!

Thank you for you help!

I suspect ACPI tables. If you are able to edit .aml files, try to correct DSDT first.

@lrva
It is very confusing.
For further inspection of your motherboard and your configuration, I decided to:
- download the user manual
- improve the EFI-X299-10.13.6-Release-iMacPro1,1-141018 for Asrock x299 Taichi CLX

So my proposal in the EFI:

1/ in the config.plist :
- ACPI/DSDT I added two patch necessary with latest bios and Intel CPU microcode :

Patch 1 : find : A00A9353 54415301 replace : A00A910A FF0BFFFF
Patch 2 : find : A00A9353 54415301 replace : A00A9353 43535301

(related here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-for-boot-hangs-after-bios-update-acpi-patch.275091/ and here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-for-boot-hangs-after-bios-update-acpi-patch.275091/page-5 )

(you may try both or one by one)

- removed CPUS=1 , I added nv_disable=1 to set Nvidia GPU to VESA

- some other modifications

2/ DRIVERS/EFI : no change

3/ Kexts/Other : i added the required kexts ; Alc, Lilu, WEG, AtherosE2200Ethernet ( for your 2,5 G Eth Killer), XHCI ...

From your side, you must verify carefully your bios settings according to the guide and especially disable CSM support.

For booting the installer only use one of the N°12 USB 2,0 port on the back panel

When you are on the Clover boot screen please with regard to autoboot and DefaultVolume, save the Clover log to /EFI/CLOVER/MISC/PREBOOT.LOG by pressing F2 and upload that.

You can try to adjust some parameters yourself and report.

Also, can you specify which NVMe SSD you are using.

Good luck !

Hello @Loloflatsix and @kylec thank you so much for your help.

Facts:

Im using a USB 2.0 on the back port of the pc ( the usb 2.0 ports)
the m2 is a Firecuda 520

Now we added a 2080ti. So now the update of graphic cards are:
2080ti
1080ti (using this one to connect to a monitor)
I followed the guide of @kgp bios Settings and i match as much as i could the settings.

Here the update:
If i just copy the Efi folder (of @Loloflatsix ) on the usb and start, i get stuck on PCI begin with a message of (unsunchronized TSC for cpu)

If I add PCIRootUID=1 and cpus=1 we move on to apfs module start 1279.

One of the error that appears on this screen before the (apfs module start 1279) is :

apple NVMe Assert Failled (0 != data) ReselaseIdNode File: ./buildroot/library/cache/com.apple.sbx/sources/ionvmeFamily/IONVMeFamily-356.70.5/IONMeController.cpp line5429

I read in other places that this kind of error is related to the USB. make any sense to disable all usb3 from the BIOS?

Tests that i want to do:

1.- Unplug the 2080ti, take out the m2. leave only one hard drive unplug all usb leave only a keyboard, and try again.
2.- Continue tweaking the bios. (maybe there is something else that im not doing and i dont know...)
3.- Use a different USB (i want to buy a new one, Could be the usb? no idea. )
4.- Try again Unibeast to create usb. (maybe i created wrong? this make any sense? )
5.- Go Vanilla install
6.- We have in other computer a amd w7100 (ati video card)
7.- Buy a good scotch and stay on windows. ( Everyone is invited to come, i will share)


This steps make sense? Should i try?


Thank you all for you help!

I agree especially with #1 and #5, and I'd say you should consider switching to AMD so that you can jump to Catalina and have better support for what is a very new processor type.

Unsynchronized TSC - you didn't say whether you used a VoodooTSCSync kext. See the KGP guide for details.

I'm about to do Cascade Lake-X myself, so I gathered some info that's out there, already. The news is not good. The refreshed boards use an EFI with a different PCI root complex structure, and so nobody has yet gotten beyond a "PCI configuration end" hang.

@lrva, are you still working on it? I'll be posting on that Asus X299-A II thread, if I find anything out.

 

[lrva]

Hey @kylec Good luck with your build. Please Keep me posted with your progress.! BTW what motherboard are you using?

Here an update:
I took out the 2080 ti, and the m2 and tried again. Same Sh*t lol. I got stuck on apfs 1393.


Im thinking on change the Motherboard :'( i think the main issue is what are you saying. (PCI root complex) i read about that in other places and other persons are talking about the same.

Im losing my hope with this mb, Let see if i found something else.

Thank you.

 

[kylec]

I'm getting an MSI X299 Pro.

I'm going to give it a shot, but probably this will be a Windows only machine at least until we learn more. The problem appears to be quite serious.
