Asus Prime Z370-A - Instant reboots after an update to Big Sur

[hackeron]

Dear Hackintosh Community,

After following other threads and searching around, I successfully got into the Big Sur installer and updated from Catalina to Big Sur. However after reboot, it shows:

After the last screen, it stays there for a few seconds and reboots.

This is what I did:

1) Update clover to latest version v5.1 r5127
2) Update AppleALC, Lilu, VirtualSMC and WhateverGreen. The full list of kext is:

$ ls -1 /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
AirportBrcmFixup.kext
AppleALC.kext
IntelMausiEthernet.kext
Lilu.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
SMCProcessor.kext
SMCSuperIO.kext
USBPorts.kext
VirtualSMC.kext
WhateverGreen.kext
dAGPM.kext

3) Use Clover Configurator to change system definitions to iMac 19,2:

4) Update config.plist to add Quirks config.plist additions - this made it boot into Catalina and into the Big Sur installer. The full config attached.

This is an 8700K on Asus Prime Z370-A with an RX580 GPU

Any ideas what I missed?

Update, I successfully upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur

This is what I did:

2. Update config.plist to add Quirks config.plist additions - this made it boot into Catalina and into the Big Sur installer. The full config attached to first post.
3. There was a gotcha that I had to select to boot from "Pre-Boot Apple" instead of "Boot Mac OS", I use this option to boot my Hackintosh every time now.

I am now successfully in and everything is working great so far!

Could you share the full EFI without your serial number? I can't get it to work and I want to see where I have the error, thank you very much.
