Hello Keith,

Good idea to start fresh with OpenCore and Monterey! To answer your questions:
  1. BIOS F9g and F9i are recommended because they are tried and true. In BIOS F9g the CFG-Lock parameter is disabled by default, which saves a step. BIOS F9g is a bit newer but CFG-Lock must be manually disabled. Both of these are available for download from links provided in the spoiler at the top of Post 1 labeled Quick Reference to Mini-Guides and Micro-Guides (Section 1, 9th and 10th bullets).
  2. I would suggest following this guide, which was originally written for Big Sur, but mentally replace "Big Sur" with "Monterey". I've just updated it a little bit.
  3. We should disable TRIM if we're using Samsung NVMe SSDs and certain models of Samsung SATA SSDs. There's a link at the top of Post 1, just above NOTE 1 that provides more details.
  4. The Replace Clover with OpenCore guide is not ideal for this case because you're doing a fresh installation. After installing Monterey, disable the SmallTreeIntel82576 driver and see if macOS utilizes both Ethernet ports. The new SmallTree driver should only be used if the i211 port fails to connect in latest version of Monterey.

Hi CaseySJ,

Thanks for your great help and prompt reply again. I will try your recommendation this week end.

By the way, where can I edit the value of “SetApfsTrimTimeout” to disable TRIM?

Best regards,
Keith

Hm? I just checked my TB3 -> TB2 -> FireWire contraption connected to my ancient RME FireFace 800, and sure enough, this still works.

Had to fight with the .kext installation but that is a known issue in BS.

Oh snap…. Good to know, i will try that way then. Any specific kext that i will need?
 
Ah.. I like Stage Manger in someways but having to deal with icons or files on Desktop while Stage Manager enabled, is a nightmare.

Hi Casey,
This is strange, when I hit F12 I enter the BIOS screen, missing the BOOT device screen.
My keyboard is starting to play up a bit so that could be the answer.
Is there a setting I could have accidentally changed to skip the BOOT device screen?

If you see the Gigabyte splash screen and some text below that which mentions Del, F2 and F12 then pressing F12 repeatedly should open the BIOS boot menu. If your keyboard is acting up then the wrong key code might be going out.
 
I just added a Sonnet Aquantia 10GbE card from a Mac Pro to my Hack. I've enabled the ForceAquantiaEthernet quirk and made sure VT-D is on in my BIOS.
After a reboot, and a clear NVRAM for good measure, the card doesn't show under PCI or Ethernet in System Report.

The rest of my Ethernet and WIFI still works fine.

What am I missing?
