We will have to wait for the next intel generation, correct?

I hope Rocket lake brings the pci gen 4.0 power, oh and that this new Samsung controller plays nice with macOS, given the fiasco of the version 1 firmware on the 970 Evo plus.

I restarted and in BIOS under boot there is a new choice for open core in addition to the usb efi choice. I chose that one but seem to be stuck at 50% again

Please add -v to Boot Arguments in the NVRAM section of OpenCore Configurator. This will enable verbose mode.

Then boot the system, but at the OpenCore Picker menu, press <spacebar> to reveal additional options. The rightmost one will be Reset NVRAM. Select that.

When system reboots, try the installation again.

Being new to OC, I am not sure how to get to get to OC configurator without getting to the desktop.
Additionally, I waited 22 minutes with no change

Alright, I have now installed the Z490 Vision D into my computer.

However, I still get black screen when I boot into Catalina 10.15.6 installer...
Prepared a USB stick according to the instructions in the thread.

So, blackscreen issue is not related to motherboard choice.

Oddly enough, I am also unable to boot into my existing Big Sur system. It returns back to OpenCore picker after trying to patch the kernel or something. Will investigate soon.

This Navi stuff on OS X is a big disappointment. It is awful that the only good dedicated GPU for Mac is the RX 5XX series, if I am not mistaken.

@elfcake,

I've moved the remaining discussion into a separate thread in Catalina Desktop Support:

Issues installing Catalina on Z490 Vision D

Being new to OC, I am not sure how to get to get to OC configurator without getting to the desktop. Additionally, I waited 22 minutes with no change Please run OpenCore Configurator on the same system on which you performed Step 4. Because you have AMD RX 580, you should choose...

Please remind us again:

• What is the make/model of your monitor?
• Are you using HDMI or DisplayPort (DisplayPort is much preferred)?
• Does the motherboard have BIOS F5?
  • F5 is necessary because it disables CFG-Lock by default.

Mine does that all the time. Sometime I get worried that it will not boot. Does the same on my other machine with the RX 5600xt.

I wonder if it just is what it is, and it takes the OS that long to load the driver. The one in the iMac probably has a more compatible VBIOS that loads quickly. The card is running flawless for me other than the blackscreen between the boot progress bar and the login screen.

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue to @elfcake where the progress bar for the first boot stops, but I put it in verbose mode and it turns out to be a panic. The error was:

Error code 0x0...0, Fault CPU: 0x0, PL: 2, VF: 5

The backtrace kexts were:

 com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9),
com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform(6.1),
com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.4),
com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9),
com.apple.driver.AppleSMC(3.1.9),
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCFLGraphicsFramebuffer(14.0.7),
com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9),
com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.4),
com.apple.iokit.IOAcceleratorFamily2(438.7.3),
com.apple.iokit.IOReportFamily(47),
com.apple.iokit.AppleGraphicsDeviceControl(5.2.6),
com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(576.1)

It was on kernel_task

boot args were all the default ones from OC 0.61 with -v added of course.



I also have a disk with a windows install on here, and the disk I was using had previously had macos on it. I was hoping to boot live from the USB so that I could use disk utility to format it.

Last time I installed I used the iGPU but now I'm using an RX570, with the correct config and EFI folder of course. Could I install with the iGPU and then add in the RX570 later?



Any way around this?


Edit0: Realizing I should probably clear CMOS after having installed the GPU. Will update.

Edit1: Cleared CMOS and also updated the BIOS from F2 to F5. Fwiw, CFG was 0 before anyway. Booted into recovery. Sorry if anyone took the time to read this!

- Updated straight to latest F5 Bios
- Followed your awesome guide
- CFG Unlocked
- Apple Cinema HD Display 30“ - attached via Apple Dual-Link-DVI to miniDisplayPort via DisplayPort to miniDisplayPort adapter

And no, changing monitors does not change anything (Tried modern 4K display via DisplayPort. This Apple display has NEVER made any issues. I strongly suspect it is this card‘s driver. Like it apparently randomly enumerates the outputs at boot and sometimes it detects the correct layout and sometimes it does not. Ubuntu ALWAYS detects my screen corrently.

I will try the new Big Sur beta. Maybe it includes an updated AMD driver.
