Hello,
Before using any config.plist you should ocvalidate it.
You have version mis-matches.

Here it is:

Thanks. Sorry, but I don't know what this file structure is referring to. Should I just download ocvalidate from github? https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/tree/master/Utilities/ocvalidate

Thanks. Sorry, but I don't know what this file structure is referring to.

That structure belongs to the EFI folder inside OpenCore-0.9.8-RELEASE kit.
So, you can easily find ocvalidate utility (used for validating config.plist after editing it).

Keep consistency with stuff inside a given version of Opencore.
Look at the date/size of different files.

Example :

This .efi file belongs to OC 0.8.0.

Your config.plist file seems to be tailored for OC 0.9.8 needs.

Should I just download ocvalidate from github? https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/tree/master/Utilities/ocvalidate

NO.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING.

Please follow @Feartech advice.
Cheers

always check the new OC files that they match with yours

Let's check :

1) Use ocvalidate from OC 0.8.0 ( 22-APR-2022)

2) Use ocvalidate from OC 0.9.8 (latest, stable)

Hope this helps.
Cheers

This may be the issue right there. I am using the latest OpenCore Configurator I downloaded from the link in the first post under "Download Essential Utilities" https://mackie100projects.altervista.org/download-opencore-configurator/

I do not see how to configure it to format the config in 0.8.0.

Sorry I am such a newb. I have not done this in a while.

Although I fully encourage/support you learning what you can to better understand the way of things, here is the thread pertaining to the z790 ProArt BIOS stuff:

Asus ProArt z790 - BIOS updates!

Using BIOS 1303 upgraded from 0816. IME pretty much just installed itself while upgrading. System is similar to SmackAttack but am using Wifi and Bluetooth. Thunderbolt - Works Sleep - Works but takes 20 secs as mentioned earlier. Still need to do USB mapping Wifi and BT - no issues so far...

You'll find at the end a fresh efi I just posted that may get you a leg up.

Basically for each new version of OpenCore that is released an updated version of OpenCore Configurator is released, so they have to "match". Because OpenCore is actually still classified as "beta" software, the devs add or remove stuff to make it better with each iteration. So ... OC Configurator for 0.9.8 will NOT format correctly for 0.8.0 etc.

As Sonoma needs the latest versions of OpenCore to work, get the matching OC Configurator from MacKay. They have an archive of older versions too.

Thank you brother. With your EFI, I am now in the install UI. Much appreciated!

I'm sure I will have other issues down the road...one step at a time.

Thanks! That makes sense. I re-read the instructions on the first post, and it actually said exactly this but I didn't understand it the first time I read it.
