My config.plist was configured as you pictured and I changed it as you suggested
IOReg:

Please switch back to the HackinDROM SSDT instead and revert to previous BIOS version.

At what point does the boot process stop? Does it stop right where your screenshot was taken?

Yes. I reset the BIOS settings again to give it another kick and it got a few more lines further. It seems to have settled at the spot in this screen shot. That last line can vary, but it's always the line after "bridges 7, device 14 ]"

What are the makes/models of all NVMe SSDs in the system?

I just installed BIOS F9j on my Z390 Designare Test Bench and sure enough SSP1 and SSP2 are missing even with a flashed controller. Therefore all users are advised to avoid BIOS F9j if you need to connect USB 3.x devices to the rear Thunderbolt ports. Thunderbolt devices will still work.

I can confirm Thubnderbolt Devices are still working with F9j
Thank you for the troubleshooting
Not a way to add/map SSP1 and SSP2 with SSDT?

Could you please upload Bios F9i to the forum for those who flashed F9j and want to go to back to F9i?
F9g is still available but its a Beta version, would be nice to have an official release here!

Just found on my iCloud.

Hello,

I am trying to restore my machine w/ Carbon Clone per the instructions, however I am not seeing my seeing my original target source drive and backup drive as originally set-up. Specifically, when I try to swap drives around, I am not seeing the drives. I tried mounting the drives in CC, but not getting a response with that action.
What am I missing here?

Are you trying to restore the original disk from the backup disk (i.e. copy the backup disk back to the original disk)?

If so, have you connected the backup disk and booted the computer from the backup disk?
