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

[madmax559]

Hi Madmax, yes I disconnected everything except mouse and keyboard, and yes in my system there are 5 HDD and a windows dual boot (all disconnected for the update)

I need to have a look into startup apps, as the system crashes random after 15-30 seconds, don't think it's a config issue or a kext, otherwise won't be booting (Wifi also greyed out with a line on it)

I tried to remove all unnecessary from extensions like gpusensor etc... but without luck.

Anyway I have a Mojave backup, maybe I'll try Catalina or Monterey first if this does not work.

Yep, that's the reason why I never updated, but the new graphic card won't work without it.

Sorry, I missed the last part since my machine was updating & I was replying by phone.

Go to the App Store or Google OSX Monterey & that wll give you a link to the updated 12.6.1 & download that & that is the cleanest & best approach.

My in-place upgrade still seems to be OK. I haven't restarted nor plugged the rx580 backin, as of yet, into the DP.

Overall temps seem to be a lot lower as the SSD's are now at 28C, except for the WD 770 M.2 which is at 42C due to the upgrade & spotlight re-indexing. It will go back down to 28 or 27C in a bit.

Edit:
Apple will frequently update the core macOS downloads after it issues fixes. So I usually download the last 3 or 4 macOS releases periodically or at least the last one. It's always up to date in case I need to reinstall in a hurry.

there are some kexts provided by Apple that should be in /L/E

Whoops! You're correct. SoftRaid is one of those.

After the Monterey upgrade, I have the following in L/E:

AppleMobileDevice.kext
HighPointIOP.kext
HighPointRR.kext
SoftRAID.kext


Most games, etc., are broken (wine wrappers) which can be fixed.
GarageBand seems to be hosed. It will not open at all & now gives a codesigning error.

Still waiting for Spotlight & Photos to finish so I can reboot & use the RX 580.

Spotlight & Photos may take 3 4 5 days to finish. You dont have to wait to reboot.

OK, this is really messed up.

1. Deleted GarageBand and re-downloaded. It still won't start

2. Shutdown & routed RX 580 into DP in port like it was before. I booted back up; my resolution is 1080p.
Display Prefs shows LG HDR 4K, and the max resolution is 1600 x 900, instead of my default 2560 x 1440.
(AMD DP out to motherboard DP in, mobo TB out to Monitor. This has worked fine since 2019 on Mojave, until this update.)

 

[madmax559]

Ok, looks like this a bug related to HDR & there is no way to turn this off in Monterey (that I know of)
& the resolution keeps falling to 1080p, making the desktop unusable.

Anyone here with an LG 4k monitor and any way to turn the HDR off ?

Edit

...and FIXED.......

LG 4k 32UN880-B aka LG Ergo Monitor.

Go to Settings -> General -> DisplayPort Version & change that from 1.4 to 1.2 & that will force HDR off & the resolution can go back to 4k, since Apple decided to remove that option from its system prefs.

Enjoy

GarageBand Fix

cd /Library/Audio

sudo rm -fr VST VST3 Components or back them up somewhere else

In my case I had leftover plugins from AmpliTube and T-RackS & Pod Pro 2.0 that were causing a bunch of issues (32bit) & I don't think I ever used any of those plugins

yes, doing an update/upgrade or a re install on top of your current setup will sort that out

If you refer back to the guide for replacing Clover with OpenCore, you will see a list of Hackintosh kexts that must be removed. The kernel cache in Mojave must then be updated as also mentioned in that guide.

The screenshot of /L/E shows that several Hackintosh kexts are still present. It is also necessary to update SoftRAID to latest version. It is also necessary to update all of those other drivers to their latest versions. But let’s start by removing the items in red and updating SoftRAID.

By the way, latest SoftRAID is fully compatible. Also, we should not move any files into /S/L/E.

Thanks @madmax559 had more luck installing Monterey indeed.

It installed correctly, gets past the verbose mode but keeps being stuck on the Apple logo.

I used the 0.8.3 EFI from Casey, compiled the config correctly and removed everything from Library/Extensions.

Probably some kext issues at this point I think.

Hi Casey, I’m not sure how to update soft raid, other kext are deleted.

It boots with the same kernel panic as Ventura gave.

I also removed everything from LaunchDaemons and launch agents to test out, no difference.
