Hi! So here is the update from my side:
I have followed the steps exactly as it is described in the first post, also have taken some notes from CatBus
here. My setup is pretty much the same:
MOBO: Asus ProArt Creator Z690
CPU: Intel i7 13700k
Ram: Kingston FURY Beast (2 x 16GB, 6000 MHz, DDR5 RAM)
GPU: Asus RX 580 first, then installed ASUS Radeon TUF RX 6800 XT O16G GAMING
Chassis: Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO
Bluetooth & Wifi: Fenvi T919
Audio Interface: Motu M4
BIOS version 2103
Used 7.1 MacPro in SMBIOS
Boot SSD is connected to second slot
Dual boot with Windows 11
Once again, I have used 0.8.0 version to start with, then upgraded to 0.8.3 and then upgraded to 0.8.7 manually (had to replace drivers as well). After all, installed Ventura 13.0.1. Went just very smooth almost no problems at all. I just had one problem when using RX 580, that I had to enable CSM in the BIOS for it to work.
Otherwise pretty much everything is working. Sleep was not working first, but after Venture installation even that started to work. However for some reason it is not working properly right now, a bit inconsistent. Might be the audio interface or 10 GbE Lan, or even suspecting if Asus Armoury on Win 11 side has installed something to effect it? I am not sure, however I do not mind sleep a lot anyway. Bluetooth, Wifi, Airdrop works. USB-C hot plug works.
Haven't tested Sidecar and Thunderbolt since I don't have a thunderbolt device yet.
Only problem right now is that I don't get incremental updates. I have tried the boot args CaseySJ provided, but doesn't seem to trigger anything. Probably I will just install 13.1 manually later.
Some notes
- when RX 580 was plugged in, I did not even remove agdpmod=pikera boot arg for it, just worked.
- screens were identified wrongly, so my main screen was recognized as second screen, changing cables fixed it
- XMP is off, as CatBus had a difficulty there, I experienced the same. Didn't bother just disabled it, however I don't se any big difference on boot time.
- Network devices were named strangely, but just renamed those manually.
- I first didn't like the Lian Li chassis, seemed too complex to me and so many options. Also I thought it would be loud since it is mesh on the top and back, but surprisingly it is quite silent anyway. And installation was pretty easy so yeah now I really like it especially after adding a couple of RGB fans
About Motu M4
- It gave me a nightmare at first. I installed the driver/extension, which caused a green & black screen and it wasn't booting anymore. It simply broke something, even USB boot or backup device didn't help. I am suspecting if it tried to install an incompatible system extension or anything similar. Or if it collided with 6800 XT somehow, because even if I removed Motu M4, it didn't boot. It was coming ok until the bootloader, then looked like booting, but right before the login screen, it was blacking out, same behaviour both on MacOS and Windows. So yeah, after many trials it finally booted, I have immediately removed Motu extension, it seems to be stable right now.
All in all I am very happy with it. Thank you again
@CaseySJ for this great build and all the support!
Also a question, I am not sure if I should enable SIP now? It is same as it is in the first config I have downloaded I think.
