X299 Big Sur Support

[pieropontra]

Currently work in process but Big Sur was easy to install

Using a Rampage VI Extreme Encore and 10980XE on OpenCore 0.6.3. Swapped the onboard wifi/bt with a BCM94360NG since intel drivers are in beta. Everything seems to be working so far (aside SideCar) but still need to do some cleanup and make a USB kext.

Hello mate! Could you please check if Netflix DRMs work in Safari 14 (with RX 580)? Are you able to make a phone call via macOS trough your iPhone (if u got an iPhone ) without having a KP?

hi guys i am trying to move from clover to opencore but i have a problem.
opencore does not show big sur partition, it shows all except the system one and instead one called macos installer appears.

How do I get the system partition to appear?

Even me and @salvatore.polito have same issues with kernel panics during phone calls. Could be something related to AppleALC maybe, since if you read KP report, is clearly related to some processes linked to AppleHDA (which is modified by AppleALC). Me and Salvatore both have Asus X299-a board, but you're on Gigabyte so that's probably not a mobo problem, maybe ACPI tables? maybe a bug with Big Sur? Anyway if somebody find solutions, share it.

Good to know I'm not the only one, quick question how did you guys managed to get the thunderbolt3 port running ?

I've fixed quite a lot of stuff with the Dortania guides, just need now to map USB ports and Thunderbolt 3.

Yep both work. Tried taking a screenshot but netflix shows blackscreen since DRM

Will make an updated post with efi and specs/config once I have everything sorted out.

After 5 restart the installation has been successfully completed. I recreated the config.plist according to sample.plist(0.6.3) and redownload the new 11.0.1 copy from the link below; http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...x1n2wpf8rik5agns2z43ikqu/InstallAssistant.pkg

If you get any error while first reboot or second like "an error occurred while..." Just manually reboot the system and keep going the installation.

I attached the my EFI it has GPRW patch for sleep issue.

the system works flawlessly with new Davinci Resolve Studio 17

Bios version 3105

This is great, thank you!

I managed to get it installed before I saw you posted this, but I'm running into the same issue I had in Catalina, which is my Broadcom Wifi/Bluetooth card is in PCIex1_1 which is shared with the USB 3.1 bus. I have the front header disabled in the BIOS, which allows the wifi to work, but completely screws with the rest of the SSDT's for the board.

Everything is working from the looks of it, but I'm going to have to try to move the Broadcom card down to PCIex1_2 which will require tearing the entire water cooling loop out to access it. Guess I'll wait and see if the new 6900 XT works in Big Sur when they're released and just do an GPU upgrade at the same time.

I really don't know what happens with AppleALC, we'll know more in the future I think.

You you use WEG with RX580 or not? you you think I should buy a RX 5500 XT or an RX 580 from hassle free / compatibility point of view? I really don't need all the power of my Radeon VII, and, even if it's a Vega 20 like the Radeon Pro Vega MPX module, I suspect drivers are not the same. I really just need stability until a more "pro" Apple SoC comes out.

I succesfully updated from Catalina to BS and everything works but i've a strange issue. If i switch off the machine and i switch on again i've as usual OC menu and BS starts...if i restart the machine when it boots i've black screen and a back slash character appear on the monitor (as the picture attached!) qled code is d2. This happens only with the final version of BS with beta i'd no issue. Any suggestion? I use OC 0.63.

No WEG since i'm using MacPro7,1. Think RX 580 would be a good choice to try since they're pretty cheap. I don't do anything intensive GPU wise and have my RTX 3090 for Windows anyway.

Got good deals on the processor and motherboard and still need VM support so decided to hack (still retired tho)

Yeah they're cheap, but also cost as much as a 5500XT here in Italy and that's a pretty newer GPU, I only hope it works fine (agdpmod=pikera, for example, is still required?).

Yeah i think pikera is still required tho I've been out of the loop for a bit. I'm still retired lol
