Asus X299 - Catalina Support

[dolgarrenan]

Hello everyone,

I'm building a X299X system with a Gigabyte X299X Designare EX 10G and a 10900X, besides having different BIOS and different PCH components, the build should be about the same, but I'm having trouble with Thunderbolt (surprisingly).

I'm trying to boot a Catalina 10.15 with clover v5099.

Even if I disable it all together it does come back to getting stuck in the same line at boot.

I'm a bit out of ideas.

How would I go about doing that? I can't see the option in CC.

You can insert and disable

You can insert and disable

So insert and disable would be about the same thing as not having the patch altogether... I don't see the point in doing that.

I attached my efi folder with everything I use,remember to disable CP00 -> PR00 since they are for my cpu.
Igeneretate new serials numbers in this efi for you.

my ssdt ANS and ANS2 there are my nvme , need to edit.

For my all work perfect and no issues, I use rx5700xt in catalina 10.15.1 , need config your graphics card in clover and delete in boot arguments "agdpmod=pikera.

Just one comment from a person who has been a long time X99 and X299 user and an advocate of @kgp - Folks, while his guide is still relevant, you should not take it as bible. For instance, enabling 4G encoding. KGP and I went back and forth about this, and I ended up enabling it, and couldn't boot without it. The guide is still great, but it's also just about a year old, and some aspects of it may need to be changed to fit your build.

Just a word to the wise....
