Yes, the tennis court of pain 

Truth be told I probably didn't wait for more than a minute at the green screen of death. I currently re-re-re-resetting the CMOS, but in my next attempt I'll let it sit overnight!

The current monitor is connected with an HDMI to DVI cable as it's an older monitor. I'll try connecting my newer Dell that has both an HDMI and Display Port and report back.

 

Bingo,

there’s your problem I think.

try with a different monitor and keep the connection the same on both ends. Don’t use a DVI CABLE that’s trouble as a lot of people find out.   

if your at the install stage then I’ve heard you can get a green screen while it’s first loading up using a 5700xt but it should clear once it gets to the fist install page after a few mins.

you need not wait all night though...lol

Please pals I need your help!!

 

this is hte situation:

 

IN WINDOWS:

• both GPU mounted on mobo, Radeon on slot-0 and Geforce on slot-1
• clean driver installation, system check and every other possible fix
• only the Geforce attached to the power supply , tried using 1 cable (with 2 6+2 pin) and also tried using 2 separate cables connected to 2 different PSU ports  ( sorry for the next image )
• 
• every game or benchmark FAILS and CRASHED also if temps are under 81°
• so using  MSI afterburner i found that lowering a lot the core clocks like this, I can run every game and benchmark, never crashed, also temps reach 90/91° BUT NEVER A CRASH
• 
• Maybe I can also increase my core clock, but for now this is a solution for using on windows,
• Anyway I can live with it on windows  not a big problem.. BUT sadly... (read below)

IN OSX:

• both GPU mounted on mobo, (like before ) Radeon on slot-0 and Geforce on slot-1
• this time both are attached to the power supply, with a half cable for each gpu  (same psu cables setup, because some months ago with only the Radeon, i found that having 2 separate cables, avoids random osx reboots or hungs DONT KNOW WHY!?)
• osx boots, but after some minutes, it SELF REBOOTS!!
• watching on system preferences I'm not sure that the @tasc SSDT-Z390-Disable-Slot-2-GPU.aml is working coorectly, because this are the outputs:
• 
• 
• Whit only radeon mounted on mobo, NO SELF REBOOTS

so the questions are:

1. Is my PSU {censored}ed? should i buy a new one?
2. is the SSDT-Z390-Disable-Slot-2-GPU.aml working? how can I be sure it's working and loading correctly? could be this the problem that causes reboots on osx?

 

I can live with the geforce downclocked on Window, is not a big problem

but I need a stable OSX and WINDOWS system with both gpu mounted

 

Later today I'll try using a THIRD cable so I can use 2 splitted on a gpu and 1 dedicated to the other gpu 

PLEASE  HELP ME!! Im going MAD!

 

Attacched EFI folder also 

 

Hope I was clear explaining the problem and you liked my pics! LOL 

 

 

EFI-gino8080-GPU-problems.zip

Have you got the Gpus right next to each other?

if you do then move one to the bottom pcie slot so they can breathe and keep the side open for now or get some airflow going In the case some how and see if that helps in windows.

 

ive only just noticed what you have done.

you have the psu connected totally wrong to the Gpus 

one cable for one gpu DO NOT USE 1 cable for two Gpus.

its ok too use one cable with both connectors on one gpu but not the way your example is showing.

I tried multiple permutations and still nothing.

Attached is a photo of the Dell U2715H after waiting 5-ish minutes connected with an HDMI 2.0 cable as well as using a Display Port cable. I also tried with an Asus 27" (HDMI and DP). In the top left of the photo you can see the installer window.

If I connect them both at once, one of the monitors (the secondary I presume) becomes full tennis field while the other doesn't change.

 

The peculiar thing is that I tried to keyboard-navigate the installation procedure, even though the screen was garbled.

The first screen is the language selection, and I can tab-continue.

The screen after (the one pictured in the attachment) is the "macOS Utilites". If I try to select the second option, by pressing down-arrow and tab-space, the installer does not continue but hangs in place. Maybe a modal pops-up that I cannot see, but I tried waiting for 15 minutes and nothing happened.

 

Tomorrow I think I may try removing the 5700xt and installing using just the integrated GPU, and after I've successfully installed I'll have an easier time integrating the discrete card.

I’m going to pm you new kexts to try and post on this thread if it worked for you at all?

Hi Buddy,

ok so let’s start again,

1. Reflash your bios using bios F11 as linked in the guide.

2. once you have done that unlock CFG (read twice and follow the steps carefully and your be fine)

3. The 5700xt is tricky to get working but SMBios 19,1 with the igpu enabled is the one that works best.

4. make sure you also make the following changes to the bios using the unlocked CFG profile.

• Boot -> Windows 8/10 Features -> Win 8/10

• Boot -> CSM Support -> Disabled

• Settings -> IO Ports -> Internal Graphics -> Enabled

• Settings -> IO Ports -> DVMT Pre-Allocated -> 32M

• Settings -> IO Ports -> DVMT Total GFX0-Allocated -> 256M

• Settings -> IO Ports -> Aperture Size -> 256M

• Settings -> IO Ports -> Above 4G Decoding -> Enabled

5. Use the 19,1 EFI and try again and report back.  

 

@d2000209 Use this EFI That I created for somebody else with the same setup as you.

 

Z390 Pro EFI 19,1.zip

 

 

 

Hi @AudioGod, are these updated bios settings? (Windows 8/10 features, Above 4g decoding), as these are different from the BIOS settings in original post. Thanks!

What steps are these if you don't mind? I have the Pro Wi-Fi so I can't use the BIOS profile linked in the main post. In fact, only people with exactly that MB can use it. Would be amazing if we could get the steps for those on slightly different Aorus variants.

That’s correct, this guide is meant for the z390 Pro only I cant give you the correct bios and bios profile as I do not use the pro WiFi board. You can download the latest bios from gigabytes website for yourself and you will need a custom dsdt made too. Mine will work but is not totally correct for your board. 
sorry I can’t help further.

[ screenshot removed ]

 

I was having the exact same issue with my 5700xt running 15.1.x.

 

Try using Catalina 15.2 beta 3 instead.  Here's the link to download it from the app store after opting in for the beta profile: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-catalina-beta/id1455661060?mt=12

With that version, I'm able to get past the garbled green screen (and on to the next problem...)

Friends, I'm having an issue with internet connectivity during the install.

 

I'm using a Z390 Aorus Pro with the on-board ethernet -- no card.

 

I've added IntelMausi, as well as VirtualSMC and SMCSuperIO.  However, when I attempt to run the "Install macOS Catalina Beta" from the preboot environment I get "An Internet connection is required to install macOS."

 

Similarly, if I go into Network Utility I get... nothing?

 

 

The cable which is plugged in does in fact have internet access, and from BIOS I'm able to see a Mac address.  It does not show up in my router's list of connected devices, which isn't really surprising.

 

I'm sure that this is something simple, but it's escaping me.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Thank you @AudioGod

For now i just put out my PSU in my small case, and temps are better

I know is a mess now! 

Just ordered a new Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow to make a better setup and cable management !

 

Now windows is working (i need again to lower the core, for now, lets see when I'll get a better airflow with the new case)

 

Meanwhile on OSX i got sometimes self reboot, last one was this kernal panic

 

AMDFramebufferVega10::setPowerState(0xffffff803ce38000 : 0xffffff7f847680f8, 0 -> 1) timed out after 45382 ms"@/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-6153.11.26/iokit/Kernel/IOServicePM.cpp:5302
....

 

 

can anyone please help?

 

I suppose there is something wrong with this system info?

I don't think the SSDT-Z390-Disable-Slot-2-GPU.aml is working for me , am I wrong?

Hi Bud, Yes they are but I haven’t updated the thread yet as I’m awaiting on new WEG and Lilu before I update everything. 

 

The new Weg and Lilu were released today, so I tried them out with the new shikigva=16 boot arg to see if that fixed the system crash when loading Netflix on safari, but still get the same crash, oh well. We'll see what AudioGod comes up with on his update with these new tools and SMBIOS recommendations going forward. 

 

@gino8080 I think there is something wrong with your setup. When I got to graphics/displays, I only have a single entry for the 560 and nothing else. Is your iGPU enabled as well?

Hello @tasc no, my igpu is DISABLED in bios

 

this is my EFI folder file list

also attacched here the zip https://www.insanelymac.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=338182

 

How can I be sure your SSDT was loaded correctly?

 

is there another way to disable PCI-slot 2?

Interesting that the secondary card is still showing up. In my PCI list, I do not have the "display" entry, just the "Radeon RX 560" in my case. If I remove that SSDT, then I do see the additional entry, so you are right that it seems it is not working for you. Our EFI folders are the same as far as files/kexts that are being loaded in there, so I'm not sure what to think.

 

Are you using the latest DSDT from AudioGod for F10? In my PCI list, I have a "Patched by Mald0n" entry and an "Olarila" entry, which you don't seem to have. I may need to defer this problem to the expertise of AudioGod and others more capable in DSDT/SSDT stuff.

Ok I see what’s going on here.

@gino8080 you need to update your bios to F11 and use the new EFI and tasc edit for it to work for you as @tasc  is using the latest revision of everything and I beleave your still on the older F10 bios and EFI ain’t you?

UPDATE UPDATE AND UPDATE 

 

@tasc I will update the EFI and bios settings on the guide tomorrow or the day after. Il do some research about DRM GATE but I think it’s something that Apple need to address because I’ve now seen the same thing on a MacBook Pro running a external gpu via thunderbolt. The plot thickens!!!

Sorry but the onboard wifi/ethernet card that comes with the Gigabyte boards is not Mac compatible only on windows, you'll have to install a card that is compatible to enable installation of Catalina.

Unfortunately, still results in full system freeze on iMacPro1,1.

Yes I'm still on F10 atm

 

Ok Captain at your orders! 

so i suppose it's time to update Bios 

I'm just scared of messing my system that is pretty stable!

 

Is possible in any case to downgrade back to F10 if something goes really bad? 

 

 

Maybe you guys already know, but I found  very easy to update kexts using Hackintool tools

Just download new kext versions from INSTALLED tab

and Then from TOOLS i just installed selecting them (hacktintool take care of permissions and also unlock catalina partition if needed) 

 

[ktabb]

I have a number of questions about hackintosh I’m building that will have similar, but not identical parts to the one that you used. 

 

1. Will I be able to use your provided EFI (AuidoGod Z390 pro EFI RX F11 dsdt)  or do I need a custom one?

2. Will on board ethernet connection work out of box since I don’t need wireless or Bluetooth and am not installing a card. 

3. Anything else I need to be aware of in installation with this build beyond the standard instructions in your guide and Glasgood’s tutorial

 

My hardware build will be:

• Intel I9 9900k 

• Gigabyte AORUS Z390 PRO bios rev. F11

• Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 590 connected to monitor with DisplayPort

• Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB DDR4 DRAM 3000 MHz C15 Desktop

• Corsair RM850x 80 Plus Gold Power Supply Unit

•be quiet! BK024 Dark Rock Slim, CPU Cooler, 180w TDP, silent wings 3 120mm PWM fan

• Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe SSD macOS Catalina

• NZXT H510 Elite Case

No wireless or Bluetooth card

 

Differences from yours:

Graphic card: Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 590 instead of Sapphire Nitro+ SE Vega56 

Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB DDR4 DRAM 3000 MHz C15) instead of Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 16GB @3200mhz (2 x 8GB)

CPU Cooler: be quiet! BK024 Dark Rock Slim instead of CoolerMaster MASTERLIQUID ML360R RGB CPU Cooler

No wireless or Bluetooth card instead of ABWB BCM943602CS 802.11AC WI-FI With Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E)

No dual boot with windows in second sd right now

@hungrywallet are you running on iMac19,1 smbios with iGPU enabled? I'm guessing so, since on iMacPro1,1 it just seems to crash and freeze machine.
