I just upgraded from macOS BigSur 11.6.0 to Monterey 12.4.0, and things seem mostly okay, except the top Ethernet port isn't working. I'm fine just using the bottom one, but figured I should share everything in case the info is useful at all.
I'm on BIOS F9g.
I was on OC 0.7.3 and went to OC 0.8.0 following this post
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...olt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.316533/post-2318208 using HackinDrom v2.1.1.
Before updating macOS, I added `SmallTree-Intel-211-8259x.kext` using OpenCore Configurator 2.61.0.0, and edited the kernel section as instructed.
The upgrade took about 35 minutes. Ten minutes for the first preparation part before the first reboot, then about eight minutes for after the first reboot then another six minutes for the second. Then things went slightly wrong.
The next two restarts in a row gave me the "your computer was restarted because of a problem, press a key to reboot" black screen. However, before the third time, I hit space in the Open Core boot picker, and cleared the NVRAM figuring that something was saved in there telling it to pop up that screen. After that, it then fully booted into macOS with several warnings that it was restarted because a problem. However, this time just normal dialog boxes that I dismissed.
I tried running some things in the terminal, like git and neovim, but was getting strange errors that I didn't write down. I then noticed that networking wasn't working. I did one full restart. Networking still wasn't working, so moved the Ethernet cord from the top most jack to the one below, and then networking is working again.
I then updated xcode (this took an annoyingly long time), updated all my homebrew packages, and everything seems good as far as I can tell.
The boot time is much longer. I saw that this is because of the Samsung NVMe drives, TRIM doesn't work in Monterey anymore. The recommended backup, wipe, and restore seems a bit much. Is there any hope of TRIM becoming supported again, or will this be the only way?
