After several times clearing NVRAM, verbose mode gave text, and I could make the last video.

That's weird... It sounds a bit similar to what happened to @dclive...

Do you have IGPU enabled? If yes, try disabling it.

You can try re-applying whatever BIOS version you are currently using. For example, if you are on BIOS version 2001, re-apply BIOS version 2001. This should clear everything in CMOS and NVRAM so you can get a fresh start.

It stops at the same point

Can you try again with ethernet cable plugged to your network?

Also which Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card are you using?

Broadcom Wifi/Bluetooth, worked without patches all the last 4 years.
I’ll try to boot without ethernet and then without Wifi/Bluetooth-card…..

(thanks for all your time and advice!)

I did disable IGPU, no ethernet, no WiFi , no result

best to recheck all bios settings

run first aid on your usb installer and internal hard drives

try to just have one hard drive installed in your machine for installation

You don't seem to be getting "sandbox restriction" anymore. Now, it's a device error.



Edit:
I suspect it's one of your USB 3.1 gen 2 ports... Please try disabling USB 3.1 gen 2 in BIOS and see if it boots.

I remember that once you told me that Intel X520/540 ethernet card are OOB under MacOS: so this card would work without any SSDT, quirks or anything else: X540 ? TIA!

No. These Intel NICs need additional drivers. Small Tree, Sonnet, and SolarFlare made Mac drivers. I know that SolarFlare discontinued support. I don't know if Small Tree and Sonnet still maintain their drivers. I have not kept up.

The firmware on the NICs may or may not need modification for the drivers to work. For example, if you picked up Dell branded X520 cards, you would need to mod the firmware on the cards before the Small Tree drivers would work.

If you want OOB 10Bb NICs, AQC107 cards work by just enabling the "ForceAquantiaEthernet" quirk in OpenCore. AQC113 based cards can also work, but I don't have any personal experience with them. Also, I think I read that AQC113 based cards may prevent sleep/wake from working correctly.

This might explain the Ethernet problem(s) in the upgrade from 13.2 to 13.3:

[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

If you're running Ventura 13.3, does WiFi and Ethernet work with AppleVTD enabled? Yes, it appears that my rig broke at some point during the 13.3 update process. After I used your EFI to boot my system, it restarted a couple of times, then I landed successfully in Ventura 13.3. I did replace...
