TRX40 Threadripper 3970X BigSur Installation freezes at "12 min left until completion"

[Kentsoon]

I am trying to install BIG SUR on a Gigabyte TRX40 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) Threadripper 3970X using Opencore.

The installation starts but at about "12 min left until completion" the screen freezes and I have to aboard the installation.
The last entry in the DEBUG File is the "EXITBS:START" Error.

I did the MMIO Whitelisting, but that didn't stop the freeze

I have found several users on the net with the same problem, so far none of the suggested solutions have worked.
Anybody any ideas on where to look for a solution?

Do you have a supported graphics card ?

GPU is a Geforce GTX 770, which is natively supported by macOS up to Big Sur (latest)

Please read and comply with the rules, in particular the one regarding profiles.
Link to profile - Just three items - Motherboard (or prebuilt system), Processor (CPU) and Graphics.

If it has native support why have you disabled the drivers in your config.plist ?

The GPU does not need drivers. There are no "drivers" in MacOS.

You are misinformed.
There are drivers and you have disabled them with the nv_disable=1 boot argument.

the Intel HD630 in your profile and signature (not sure why it is listed twice?) is fine to use

No HD630 in a Threadripper 3970X.

No HD630 in a Threadripper 3970X.

Just going by the hardware profile......

@P1LGRIM @Feartech
I have 4 Hackintoshes. The signature allows only 3 Lines entry. The "Build signature" in the profile settings allows only intel CPU and no AMDs.
So tell me: Where should I put the 4th AMD Hackintosh's hardware profile?

If you have something to contribute towards a solution, you are welcome to comment.
If it's just about the limited signature and hardware profile settings on this website, I am the wrong person to talk to and this is definitely the wrong post for opening a discussion about "why there is no HD630 in an AMD processor".

Wow, so much to say about this comment...
