Being the lazy slob that I am, I would love to get my hands on your finished USBmap if you are successful. that process has always confused me.Apparently what is broken is the USBInjectAll kext. Even though it is broken, I managed to get everything working on GA-Z170X-UD5, GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5, and GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 motherboards running Monterey. But, this particular motherboard (GA-Z490 Elite) is very different in what was detected. On the others, I just went ahead and used the manual discovery method and it ended up working fairly well. I think the only issue I had was one port short on the GA-Z170X-UD5 motherboard. For the Z490 board, what I did with the EFI provided by MrPopman was I used his USBMap_InUse kext and on my Fractal Design R7 case, the only things that do not work are the two blue ports underneath the ethernet port, and the USB-C port on the front of the case. I opened his USBMap_InUse kext with ProperTree and can understand the logic of what it represents and will do more experiments to see if I can get the USB-C front port working and sacrifice the USB 2.0 function ("personality") of the two front USB 3.0 ports and if that will work, I'll be a very happy camper. That will keep it at 15 ports and I'll have every practical thing I need. But, it was actually really easy to install Monterey using Opencore 0.7.6. I stuck strictly to the guidelines and the only hitch was to get the RX6800XT video card working I had to add the agdpmod=pikera to t he boot-args line. Then it zipped right through the install, all but the USB ports. And the USBMap_InUse kext added nearly all that. I just really want to understand how it is actually done.
I am itching to bump this Catalina up to Monterey. But, for now, 7.6 won't boot for me. Not sure what the itch is. But, for now, I'm happy to have everything working under 7.0.
Good Hunting!
