Maybe if you fix the DMAR tables as per the first post then your Ethernet might work without AQC113C.aml ?

Great -- thank you so much!

Hello bazza08, Did you get your install on the Asus B660M-A D4 to work reliably, and if so, would you mind sharing your final EFI folder (minus your serial numbers of course) -- I have the same mainboard, and it starts all right and works for a few minutes, but then the computer spontaneously...

Thanks for sharing ! But the "backup efi.zip" you posted doesn't have the config.plist file - instead it has an alias leading to "/Users/tsr/Desktop/Backup EFI/EFI/OC/Resources/Video/Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video).mp4" ... Could you share the real config.plist?

If you create the correct SSDT-DMAR.aml and put the right PciRoot path and slot name in the add device property section of config.plist section then it should not need SSDT-AQUANTIA-AQC113C.aml, at least on my installation it doesn't.

After spending nearly half a day pouring through numerous posts to find a fix for getting an Aquantia 10G Ethernet pci-e card with AQC113C chip to work, wanted to summarize the steps that worked in case it helps someone else. This works for an Asus Maximus Hero XI mainboard with an Intel...

Even without verbose mode, you can delete the system log at /private/var/log/system.log, then immediately reboot and go back to open the system log to see where the MacOs has a delay. On my main Monterey installation on a Coffee Lake machine which took 30 seconds to boot, it turned out that some...

Yes, the bios is set correctly (in fact, on this mainboard there is no display output at all when the setting is wrong). I'll just consider the question to be one of those unsolved mysteries and try to get a used RX580 gpu!

Many thanks for taking the time to explain all that! I added the missing definitions, but it still takes ca 32 seconds from the OpenCore picker to the desktop, versus 16 seconds when there is a dGPU, so I guess it must be something inherent to how Monterey handles iGPU displays, and it is not a...

Many thanks ! The attempt to try iMac16,2 came from looking for a way to get rid of the extra boot delay, so while researching that, I had come across that recommendation on https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/extras/monterey.html#supported-smbios : Haswell desktops with only an...

Many thanks for trying to help! It's odd, because I also use ProperTree, probably something went wrong when I tried to edit out the serial numbers. Just redit “OC Clean Snapshot" on the three smbios versions I tried and left the SMBIOS data intact and will just use different serials, so they...

I'm trying to figure out why there is a 20+ seconds boot delay between "ASL Sender Statistics" and "Boot windows acquired" with Monterey and Big Sur, which was not the case up to Catalina. Visually, this is when there is a pause in the progress bar under the Apple logo, at the point when the...

Samsung has released a firmware update ( https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ ), so at least for my build, the Samsung Evo 970 Plus now works under Mojave 10.14.5 as well. Under Windows you could try the Samsung NVMe driver.

Yes, I know -- it's because I haven't yet been smart enough to get the SSDT correctly patched -- but your reply encourages me to try that again, so that the next OS-X update doesn't break things again ... Many thanks!

Be sure to remove the original IONVMeFamily.kext: both being present is what causes the kernel panic on my build.
