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

[vinneesh]

On iMacPro1,1 I believe you should set shikigva=80. And delete shiki-id.

Sorry, I have Mojave installed because not all audio software works with Catalina (yet), can I use the Catalina Mini-Guide as well to install Clover 5xxx or do have to do something different?

Thanks

Yes, I followed Catalina mini guide and installed Mojave 14.6. Everything is working fine. I used iMacPro 1,1 SMBIOS with iGPU enabled, deleting all included shiki arguments and added shikigva=80 (thanks to @CaseySJ). Chrome plays Netflix and Amazon prime DRM content.

So the upgrade from my z370 AORUS g7 was quite simple. I starteD with iMac 19,1 and was running great, I then made the dubious decision to update my video card to a Radeon VII w 16GB RAM and also added an additional 32GB of matching RAM. Well the RAM went/out a hitch but the GPM not so smooth. Long story short black screen and then moving my display ports around got the farthest dport from the HDMI to work as well as the HDMI itself (30hz however) just couldn’t get the displays to work ona whim 7,1 fixed video but too many other glitches, before finaly landing the Mac mini 8,1 which seems great so far but from what I’ve read the 19,1 is preferred ? Another oddity is my kexts mind you most is working but hackintoolonly reports 4 of the 10 Kext installed, audio isn’t working yet owc tb3 dock Is providing audio and Ethernet. So Sytems is stable with 8,1 but not sure why having issues like I am

Hi all, I'm struggling with Native NVRAM.

Followed the guide, and double-checked that:

-setup_var_3 0x5c1 is indeed at 0x00
-ssdt.aml is present at acpi/patched
-emuvariable is no longer present
-ocquirks efi & plist, fwruntimes efi at drivers
-scripts are no longer present (deleted them manually and checked after reboot)
-clover removed kernelpm and appleintelcpupm

yet I still get the "couldn't allocate runtime area..."

My setup is smbios 19,1, 9900k, 64gb ram, amd gpu, igpu headless.

I tried different ocquirks (ocquirks-4, then renamed, etc), clearing CMOS. Also the specific version of FWruntimes.efi provided by @Racke, together with his ocquirks efi & plist.

FWIW I thinks the issue seems related with OcQuirks+fwruntimes and perhaps the specific memory map fragmentation of my use case (or whatever is the correct term)?

My system won't boot unless I am using ocquirks-4 (no plist) and + fwruntime, both versions from november 2019. I'm on 10.15.3 (edit update to 10.15.3, today is maintenance day..)

It seems there's some other people that encountered the issue, has anyone been able to solve it? I know I am doing something wrong but can't figure it out, been trying for hours.

Thanks,
m

Is there an EFI available for download?? ... biggest Thread Ever

Is there an EFI available for download??

No EFI. We've found that when you hand out pre-baked EFIs it doesn't work well. The person using it learns nothing about hackintoshing and it often won't get them a working build either. There are no shortcuts. It takes time and effort on your part. Read the guide, apply each step and soon you'll know almost as much as CaseySJ does. Well, at least about how to get a Z390 hackintosh functioning. Reverse engineering the T2 chip, that's a more advanced course.

I too have been having issues with native NVRAM. The only consistent way for me to avoid the memory allocation errors has been to disable iGPU.

OcQuirks-4 has been updated as well. You should replace it with these 2 files.

Many thanks

Hey man,

Congrats on your build and thank you for providing such a comprehensive journal of it. Been super helpful!

I've run into a snag, hoping maybe you ran into it at somepoint as well, I am new to hackintosh's so be patient with me.

I was trying to create the framebuffer patch using hackintool like you suggested, i followed along with the guide that had linked. However after creating the patch and rebooting i get the cursed black screen on HDMI that you warned about.

Is there any way around this without using a display port cable? Currently only have my tv and its HDMI only.

I've tried older monitors using vga to displayport adapters but that doesnt work, same with displayport to dvi.

I've tried just typing the configuration into the UEFI shell on the clover boot up and screen and restarting but still get the black screen.

As a test i removed the SSD i had attempted to install the OS on and booted straight from the usb with no problems, but while my SSD was installed even if i selected the usb to boot from i'd get the black screen.

Please any input or advice would help currently panicking

Amazon Man will be glad to bring you a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. The first one that came up when I did a search on amazon is $8.

NVRAM on Z390 Aorus Pro:

I needed to use ocquirks/fwruntime services instead of aptiofree2000. now working fine.

I have a question for the few of you with this motherboard--I upgraded to BIOS f11 some time ago, but I didn't take a good look at the BIOS setup screen at the time. I can't find anywhere to select iGPU enabled or not either using "easy" or "advanced" setup. What am I missing?

Thanks.

Update Catalina report:
Everything looks good, or at least the same way before the upgrade from Mojave.
I notice, In the overview, the processor name is 8-Core Intel Core i7 but, I'm using the I9900K, I don't know if this matters or no. I just what the processor to work at the max capacity.

Do I need to change the processor name?
I have been doing all my tests in my Backup SSD, now, can I clone directly in the 970PRO? or I do the Upgrade on it?
Thanks for your help.
