@CaseySJ
Hi Casey,
I tried to have a fresh install Ventura and OpenCore 0.9.1 on my old Big Sur, here’s what I did:
- Create bootable Ventura
- Edit Sample.plist in OpenCore Configurator 2.68
- Copy Sample.plist to folder X64/EFI/OC and rename to config.plist
- Copy everything inside EFI flash disk to Ventura EFI folder
- Reboot then F12, I select USB drive, it takes it then goes back to F12 selection again without continuing to next step.
Please help, or do have any fresh install instructions with Ventura?

Note: I tried your guide with OC 0.8.3, however I couldn’t find Configurator for 0.8.3.

Please try the attached OpenCore 0.9.1 EFI folder. The only thing you'll need to add are your serial numbers in:

• PlatformInfo -> DataHub

Please use OpenCore Configurator 2.68.0.0 (latest version) and set it to OpenCore 0.9.1 Development Version.

Please check BIOS parameters as described in main body of Post 1. We should use BIOS F9g or F9i.

We can also press and release CMD-V at OpenCore boot picker to enable screen logging, then select “Install macOS Ventura”.

I have an OWC Thunderbolt Dock connected to the SSP1/HSO8 Type C port on the Designare.

All is working great - I was checking through my System Information and I was surprised to see the OWC Dock show up in System Information --> USB as a USB Hub on the USB 3.1 Bus?

I am guessing this is normal?

I know that System Information --> PCI shows the Thunderbolt info, but should the Dock show up there too?

Save config.plist and reboot. Do WiFi and Ethernet continue to work?

Yes! This works for me. (I have 64GB of memory.) Thanks!

Yes that sounds okay.

** Experimental OpenCore.efi with FixAppleVTD Kernel Quirk **
​

Purpose:
The patch to fix WiFi and Ethernet issues in macOS 13.3 has been incorporated directly into a test version of OpenCore that is attached to this post. This means it's not necessary to add the patch manually to config.plist.

Instead, a new Kernel Quirk called FixAppleVTD has been introduced that can be enabled and disabled as needed. When enabled, OpenCore itself will inject the patch into the right version of macOS.

Version:
This version of OpenCore.efi is based on the just-released OpenCore 0.9.1 code base, so it includes everything that's in 0.9.1.

Procedure:

1. Disable the Kernel -> Patch if the patch has already been added and enabled.
2. Replace existing OpenCore.efi in EFI/OC folder with the version attached below.
3. Add these two lines (manually for now) into config.plist using a text editor as shown. The lines must be added in the Kernel Quirks section.

<key>FixAppleVTD</key>

Seems to work for me, too. Not sure the second Ethernet port is totally right... Will check again.

Sorry ...spoke too soon. (32 G memory/Vtd on) - wireless works ethernet 2 does not. If I try to use ethernet 2 it boots and reaches the log - in screen then re- boots and so on. Shut down and plug into the other eth port and all is well.
