(Successful!!) Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X / I7-10700K / RX580 / Catalina 10.15.7

[Middleman]

I had Catalina installed successfully with a 580XT video card. But the ethernet doesn't work.

Cabuffalo,

If your Ethernet doesn’t work, have you tried installing IntelMausiEthernet.kext in EFI/OC/Kexts/Other?

No, I didn't. I believe I missed that part. I found it in the guide. Thanks for the tip, Middleman.

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

Here is what I did. But I can't make it work still.

Copy the IntelMausi.kext to EFI\OC\kexts
Open propertree, take a snapshot of my efi folder and save the config.plist.
Reinstall Catalina.

The installation went through w/o any problem. But there is no network adapter shown in system preferences\network.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks.

Hello cabuffalo:
I'm really glad someone could make it, but... your telling me we need to have dGPU to make work?
So I'll have to wait for my RX5600XT to make it work. Thanks for the update though, at least now I know what I'm missing.

Except the ethernet, everything else works. Yes, installation works with dGPU.

Finally, I have sorted out. Let me know when you have your card. I'll share my EFI with you.

Hey Mates,
i really need that EFI. I want to upgrade from H81 (Haswell) to Z490 with Intel 10th Gen. I would like to keep my old clover install (Catalina). Any tips?

[Roko3883]
