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

[CaseySJ]

Need some help here sages. Trying to install Catalina with the guides in this thread, but this is the error I'm getting. BIOS is configured correctly but I'm not sure I'm using the right EFI or doing the right thing with it in hackindrom although I've followed the guides to the T. Any guidance on what this error might mean?

Some questions:

• Are you using Clover or OpenCore?
• If OpenCore, are you running BIOS F9g or F9i from the Quick Reference spoiler in Post 1?
  • If so, is BIOS --> Boot --> CFG-Lock disabled?

Duh! Didn't have CFG-Lock Disabled, thanks!!!!

@CaseySJ going to flash, I am confused as to how I should disable CFG-Lock, should I use:

• BIOS F9i modified by Elias64Fr with MicroCode from F9j (fixes security issues)

Thanks

Yes we can use this BIOS. Then refer to the BIOS Modification section in the main body of Post 1.

Then go to BIOS —> Boot —> CFG-Lock and disable it. This is mentioned in the post just above yours.

Try analyzing "IOService:/AppleACPIPLatformExpert/PCI0@0" tree with and without your PCI device connected

Thank you @Inqnuam ! I have found out that "PEG0, PEG1" both appear when I plug the card in. I have attached the address listed. How do I convert this info into a change in my config?

@CaseySJ for the BIOS I use the Spoiler: Firmware F8 and Newer? Thanks

Correct. We must start with F7 (Load Optimized Defaults).

Hey Gang, A little bit of a weird question, but how can I pass a PCIE device through so that Mac OS can see it?

In particular, I am running a stable OC 0.6.8 system on 11.3.1 and have an LSI 9207 that I have connected to a bunch of extra Bluray Drives that I need for a project. Windows has no issues seeing the drives, but I assume that I need to manually change something in my config file to do this. Is there some ID or number I can get from Hackintool or other to get this through?

Thanks as always.

The LSI 9207 might not be Mac-compatible. Can you post a link to the product?

That’s the exact same product. Purchased on eBay through a sale link that’s down.

Uses a pretty widely used SAS2308 controller.

Also it’s in IT mode so it’s just passing through the sata devices directly.
