pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

[dclive]

Today I was troubleshooting an NVMe issue (for the LIFE of me I still can't figure out why my Sabrent Rocket won't boot from SSD, but boots fine from USB -> SSD), and I happened to remove my AMD 5700. I didn't even notice that I had it out; the machine booted flawlessly into macOS, and I'm using Intel graphics on the i7-8700. It's a flawless experience.

Big thanks to PC for making that possible, and for the Intel graphics options being in the config. It's quite useful in t-shooting; this is one of the few (if ever?) times I've booted into MacOS without AMD graphics attached.

Please keep us posted on what the problem with the Sabrent Rocket is...

No luck. Still can't boot, even from a known good EFI.

I never see an OpenCore picklist. I just see a black background, white apple logo, and it just reboots. It's as if it's trying to boot MacOS from the SSD, but that can't be, because the only boot choice I have in UEFI / BIOS is the USB stick, not the MacOS SSD nor Windows SSD.

Hmm... I don't know why you can't see the OpenCore boot picker...

Can you add the "-v" boot-arg and see if it helps give any clues?

Good day. I have been using your EFI(OC) folder and config for a long time. Never had a problem. But there was a problem when boot up after updating to the latest Ventura beta. looks like that. Could you help me, please? Thanks


com.apple.securityd.xpc, requestor = bluetoothd(189), error = 3: No such process
com.apple.analyticsd, flags = 0x8, requestor = bluetoothd(189), error = 3: No such process
com.apple.private.corewifi-xpc, flags = 0x8, requestor = bluetooth(189), error =159: Sandbox restriction

etc.
OC 0.8.9 for now

Which Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module are you using?

Try setting config.plist > Misc > Security > SecureBootModel = J137.

Try setting config.plist > Misc > Security > SecureBootModel= J137.

I am using the module Fenvi T919 (BCM94360CD)

Even with the module completely disconnected from the motherboard, this error is present.

i changed SecureBootModel to j137 - no effect. Always the same error.
UPD. the Recovery HD won't boot up also.

Hmm... Are you sure your kexts are all up to date?

Yes, I checked for new kexts via Kext updater as usual. I updated lilu, WhateverGreen and AppleALC. Rebooted, making sure everything works well. And started downloading the macos update. After the update it won't boot up anymore. Returning an EFI backup does not help either.
Then, I completely replaced the EFI folder with yours (adding my serial number to the config), and the error is exactly the same. In general, I have always used your EFI folder. just completely updated it last time a couple of months ago. But now updated to 0.8.9(from attached EFI zip)

Please try with config.plist > Misc > Security > SecureBootModel = Disabled.
