pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

Unfortunately reset nvram didn't solve the issue

I don't know what else to try... There shouldn't be any reason why it can't boot in to other operating systems.
 
Hi! I was prepping my system to upgrade possibly to Sonoma in the near future. I knew I had to fix the USB mapping as described on page 706. Everything works. (I had a power issue with an Apple superdrive I use sometimes to rip my old CDs.) The only problem I have is that my system won't stay in sleep. It wakes after a few seconds again.

Code:
admin@iMac-Pro-2 ~ % pmset -g log | grep -e " Sleep " -e " Wake " | tail -n 50
admin@iMac-Pro-2 ~ %

After waiting a while, I see, however, 2 items preventing going my Mac to sleep:

The USB fix you are referring to is a very old method. I prefer the newer kext method. Instructions can be found at:

As Terminal indicates your sleep issue is caused by "IODisplayWrangler". I don't know what's triggering that in your system. I think IODisplayWrangler is related to screen brightness which I never implemented in my EFI.

I use your EFI except the MLB / Serial. It's also a Z370PrimeA with 9900K + AMD RX6800XT. It has something to do with the GPU / Monitors Combo I guess. Maybe WhateverGreen? Can I try older version with latest LULU?

A slightly older version of WhateverGreen should work fine.

Also check that none of your apps are trying to manipulate the display.
 
I don't know what else to try... There shouldn't be any reason why it can't boot in to other operating systems.
I finally resolved by clearing CMOS the motherboard, now boot other systems.

Last question, I'm on macOS 11.7.1 with 970 EVO NVMe, and I would like to upgrade to Monterey or Ventura. I know that I should get TRIM issues if I stay on this drive. So I cloned this disk to a SanDisk Extreme Pro (which has the same controller and NAND parts as WD SN 750). Unfortunately with SanDisk NVMe I get random reboots. Is this related to incompatibility drive or maybe is something wrong with my EFI?
Thanks in advance.

Are you getting Kernel Panics? Does it show a kernel panic popup upon reboot?
