Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

[pastrychef]

I will send you a new config.plist in a couple of minutes if you don't mind try with that.

Just tell me the changes. I modify it here.

Thanks.

Guys,

for the bootargs, can I simply add them in the boot section in config.plist with clover configurator? I am very new to Open Core and I dont know if it should treated differently. For the moment I have only added the sections related to the SMBIOS as suggested by the "readme" picture.
Thank you!

No. Do not open the OpenCore config.plist with Clover Configurator. Use either Xcode or PlistEdit Pro.

Add it to here:


If you don't know how, please post your config.plist and I'll do it for you.

@pastrychef try this config with your Platform Info; dont forget to clean NVRAM.

Actually none. I add a couple of deleting entries under the NVRAM and remove not recommended drivers. All others from your config but I used clean config.

Thank you @pastrychef.

I added the -v boot arg using plistedit pro following your advices.
But I get the same problem: after the NVRAM error report I get a menu see first picture in which EFI is highlighted.
but after that I get a black screen, no text in verbose mode is appearing just a black screen.
For info: I am booting from a M.2 NVMe instered into a external USB adapter. I use F12 at boot to select this drive for boot and not my internal Nvme SSD that contains my perfectly working clover configured EFI. The external SSD is a clone of the internal one (used CCC for that) but with the OC EFI instead.

Thank you!

@pastrychef sometimes leaving empty field cause this type of error under the NVRAM.

I forgot to remove Booter/Quirks ProtectUefiServices you can remove this you probably not use v5.0.7.

Which drivers are not recommended? I only have the following drivers active:

• FwRuntimeServices
• ApfsDriverLoader
• HfsPlus
• NTFS
• Fat

I was unable to boot with your config.plist and got more errors at boot.

Yeah, I tried deleting the Nvidia thing and populating the language field. It didn't get rid of the NVRAM message.

Do you even see the Apple logo or does it go right to black screen?

Sorry my bad;

These two not recommended.

• NTFS
• Fat
