These warnings can safely be ignored. When you used OpenCore Configurator, do you remember what version of OpenCore was stated in the title bar of the app?

0.9.2. I made sure it was that version to follow your guide precisely.

Although those warnings are benign, if you'd like to remove the warnings, simply edit your config.plist with a text editor and remove these lines:

Thanks @CaseySJ !

Maybe this is not the place to put this question, but I have forgotten how to enter the options menu on the OpenCore bootpicker. Because there is still an option menu there, right? Like, to add boot args, etc.

OpenCore’s boot picker (OpenCanopy) is modeled after Apple’s own boot picker so it does not offer all the extra features that Clover does. The only hidden option is invoked by pressing space bar, which reveals “Reset NVRAM”, Recovery partitions, and other boot options.

Hah, ok, so my memory was playing tricks on me. Thanks for clarifying.

Here's a checklist:

• Which version of BIOS? Are BIOS parameters set properly?

F9i. BIOS parameters as per this thread, although these are not 100% clear

• Is an Ethernet cable connected to one of the two rear Ethernet ports?

Tried with and without cables in both ports.

• If using Vega or Radeon VII, boot argument agdpmod=pikera must be removed.

Not there. Tried RX480 and now iGPU.

• Is a 32GB to 64GB flash drive (USB 3 ideally) being used?

16GB, 1.3 GB free

• Was Monterey downloaded using gibMacOS?

yes

• If so, after the download, was InstallAssistant.pkg invoked to create the actual installer?

yes

• Are all unnecessary Thunderbolt, USB, and PCIe devices disconnected?

Mouse/kbd/thumb drive with Monterey install/empty SSD

So today I updated to OC 0.9.2 and also from macOS 13.0 to 13.4.1. The installation went smooth but after the first restart I noticed some oddities.

1. During boot, the Apple logo and the loading bar shows up for about 10 seconds. Then the screen goes black and stays black for around 4 minutes. Then the Apple shows up again for a couple of seconds, and I reach the desktop. I should mention that I do not boot from a Samsung SSD, so I don't think this is the TRIM-issue.
   
   
2. macOS is not detecting any Bluetooth device. However, my BCM4360 is detected under PCI card in System Information in macOS. Bluetooth-panel in System Information is just blank. And the weird thing is, my Bluetooth Apple Magic Keyboard is still working. Not sure how that's possible?
   
   
3. Wifi is also acting a bit weird. It's showing up under Wifi in System Information, but when I try to connect to my Wifi network (showing full reception) it says I'm too far away and signal is weak.
   
   
4. One of my M.2 drives (the one that isn't the boot drive) is not showing up in macOS. Also not in Disk Utility. It is however showing up in the BIOS. This one is a Samsung drive. Can this maybe be related to the 4 min boot time?

I've attached a system log file and also a Bluetooth error log I found. As well as my config.plist. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@zipb

Please try a 32GB or 64GB flash drive. No guarantees this will work, but I really don’t know what else to suggest.

For the long boot time issue please run Terminal and type:

log show --last boot | grep "trims took"

Then post the output.

For the various Bluetooth/WiFi issues try the following:

• Perform cold boot (shutdown and flip power switch on PSU to OFF for 10 seconds, then power up)
• Reset NVRAM (press spacebar at OpenCore boot picker to reveal this option)

If these steps don't help, try a CMOS Reset and configure BIOS parameters afterwards.
