z370 w/ i5-9600K - KP while upgrading from Big Sur to Sonoma

[67BGTEV]

My plan is the go with current OC and Sonoma 14.1.2

Motherboard: EVGA Z370 Classified K, 134-KS-E379-KR, LGA 1151, Intel Z370, HDMI 2.0, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, ATX
CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.6 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I59600K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
GPU: ASRock Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX 570 DirectX 12 RX570 8G OC 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model F4-3000C15D-16GVKB
Cooler:Noctua NH-L9i, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA1200 & LGA115x (Brown)
Case:be quiet! DARK BASE 700 Mid-Tower Case - RGB LED Lights/6 Color Switch
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1+, 80 Plus Gold 750W, 10 Year Warranty, 120-GP-0750-X1
SSD Sata: Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560 MB/s - CT500MX500SSD1


I assembled the box and booted, it's showing a POST CODE of 18 - Probably unsupported CPU for the BIOS. I'm trying to take care of this by sticking in a Celeron G4900, update the BIOS to current 1.19 and try to boot with i5-9600K.

Suggestions?

This project has been pending for 3 years now. I understand many components are not recommended brands here, but I bought these not knowing and based on other's reco here:

Your hardware should be supported on MacOS Sonoma. However, it is likely that as you stated your motherboard may need a BIOS upgrade for it to recognize a 9th generation CPU like the 9600K.

Once you upgrade the BIOS and configure the BIOS options correctly you should be able to proceed.

Got my Celeron G4900, swapped the CPU and I was able to update the BIOS to the current 1.19v. Swapped the CPU back to i5-9600K and it booted right back. I used EFI from Dmitriyys with OC069 and installed BigSur. Everything went fine. Booted right up with RX570.

Updated OC from 069 to 096. Boooted fine with bot USB and SSD. Sonoma is downloading now and planning to update to Sonoma in the morning. I hope everything goes smoothly.

the update to Sonoma is aborting after few restarts. Here is the video of the verbose.. What am I missing?

@Sniki @trs96 @Asural would you be able to take a look?

I'm stuck, could you please share your config?

NVMeFix.kext isn't working in macOS Sonoma. Disable or remove the kext from your OC setup and see if that helps.

I disabled it still no luck..

Since I 've RX570, I tried to diable it, but no luck there as well:
I tried to boot w/ iGPU using -wegnoegpu it goes in to KP, I tried -amd_no_dgpu_accel it doesn't boot.

Did you change the DeviceProperties for the IGPU, from the Empty/Headless Framebuffer (0300913E) to the Framebuffer required when the IGPU drives a display (07009B3E), when you tried booting with just the IGPU?

This is on Big Sur - I didn't set the id before, it was 0300923E. I changed it now and it makes no difference - it sill boots with dGPU When I use -wegnoegpu it gets stuck on Apple Start logo with progress bar. When I remove the power to RX570, it doe KP.. I'm not too keen on going iGPU, but if it helps in installing Sonoma, I thought thats a good next step...
