Hi, this is my first post to this board. I'm really grateful for the contributions everyone has made.
And especially, I appreciate Tsanko's work, and the willingness to share!
I am trying to use your OC 0.7.7 config. I'm attaching my config.plist .
I have almost the same hardware, though different graphics and NVMe models.
I've made some appropriate changes to your config, and for this upload have obscured my s/n, etc.
I have this hardware:
- Gigabyte Z590 Vision D
- Firmware F7
- Intel i9-11900k
- G.Skill 128GB RAM
- AMD Radeon W7000 graphics card 4GB
- WD SN850 2TB NVMe for boot (OS) disk in the PCIe Gen 4 slot
- |==== WD SN750 2TB NVMe
- Fusion drive 10TB ==|
- |==== WD Black 8TB WD8001FZBX-00ASYA0 spinning hard drive
- (Fusion drive is used for user files, not OS)
- another WD SN850 2TB which is the target for installing Monterey onto
- FL11000 USB PCIe
This hardware has been running Big Sur 11.6.5 with no problems.
I am trying to install Monterey.
First, I made only the necessary changes to Tsanko's config (s/n, MLB, UUID).
Not successful. Will boot OC, then into "Install macOS Monterey". I can use
DiskUtility to erase the target volume. No problem.
Start the Installer. It runs for about 8 minutes or so (starts at 17 minutes remaining, then down to 12 minutes,
and sits there for a few minutes), then it suddenly reboots. It does write to the target volume,
but the installed image is not complete and cannot be used.
I've now used OpenCore Configurator's Config Checker, and made the changes it
recommended. (Changes made manually with text editor, since I've experienced OCC adding
incorrect lines/config).
I have tried many variations, and other things to get it working, but it always seems to have the same
behavior as described above, no matter what I do.
Please note that the Fusion drive is NOT involved in this installation, but the hardware is in the
system and is used for Big Sur. I am trying to install Monterey to a 2nd WD SN850 . I am not trying
to over-write the Big Sur boot/OS disk.
I need help. I have attached my config.plist . Can someone check it out?
Many many thanks!
