Never heard of that happening to anybody before, Ethernet works from the off.

 

I must be cursed! A google search brought up some other folks who have experienced something similar, one suggestion was to install Mojave then upgrade.

@texem could you check on your beast please bro and see if your Nitro is doing that? 

 

fans are spinning up normally after displaysleep starting Luxmark or Valley..

Did anyone get stuck at the install screen with, “internet connection required”? I was hoping I’d be able to use Ethernet. 

 

check your dhcp

My DHCP usually assigns automatically, I'm not familiar with MacOS and can't see anywhere to manually input. I am connected to a Wi-Fi extender, not sure if that would cause any issues.

Thanks for checking... weird problem that I have. One difference is that I'm on Clover. What is the position of the bios switch on your GPU (mine is towards the back of the PC) ?

Clover or OC won’t make a difference buddy and clover is still the king bootloader at this movement in time, (in my and larabee opinions)

don’t use the auto select bios position in fact I would recommend using it with the power saving bios for now. Myself and @larabee have done a lot of 5700xt testing for the past few days, between us we have a good few variants of the card and the aftermarket ones seem to act a lot more strangely compared to the reference 5700xt and we both believe it has something to do with the drivers / power delivery hence why I’m currently using a reference card instead of my nitro (I’m still under test conditions).

if you have more then one monitor hooked up then try dropping down to a sin screen and see if the problem remains?

Same with Mojave too! Slightly different error, "The recovery server could not be contacted". This so frustrating. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

have you tried if possible plugging directly into your router and see if the problem persists?

have you checked the ethernet settings in your network preferences?

Does your keyboard and mouse work up until you get to the login?

did you try pulling out the keyboard and mouse usb connections and then plugging them back in or trying a different USB port?

mouse and keyboard work in BIOS and in clover settings. After loading this login screen opens and no usb port for the mouse or keyboard anymore works. tried to rearrange to all other ports, the same thing.

 

But, I install Catalina from Mojave (Update). Not fully clear installation.

I tried with the switch in the middle position (power saving in theory ? It's actually annoyingly difficult to find info on the switch positions !) and it still happens. I'm using a single monitor.

can you try this:

open terminal in installation, run command to make sure your ethernet card work

ifconfig en0 up

Then run command to set dhcp automatically

ipconfig set en0 DHCP

If this doesn’t solve the issue, plug in directly to router without using extender.

1. Switch towards the fans - Performance mode.
2. Switch towards the middle - Silent mode
3. Switch towards the display & HDMI ports - Trixx software mode.

 

i'm using TRIXX and configured (via Windows) the Performance mode. Trixx because i don't need the light-show

Not sure how to get to network preferences from this screen, clicking the Apple logo only gives option to shutdown, restart or select disk.

Tried hooking up directly to the router, same thing. Am I right in thinking that IntelMausi.kext is used to make ethernet work? Is there any way I can find out if this kext is successfully injected? I'm using the same config that's included in the AudioGod's EFI. I don't understand what could possibly be different from my setup compared to anyone else's, baffled.

The board is still the same, so in theory it should not cause any problem. Did you load the BIOS profile attached in the guide for bios version 12D?

Are you talking about the CFG Unlock profile? If so, no I didn't. I thought that was just for users with graphics cards. I'll give it a go, I'm desparate at this point.

If En0 is not present, then your ethernet card is not functioning. That's the issue. Load the Bios profile and give it a try again. Use the unlocked 12D profile.

1 - Download the profile and save it to a USB Key ✔

2 - Go into the bios, ✔

3 - Load the profile, ✔

4 - Save and exit ✔

5 - Go straight back into the bios and save your bios to a new profile and name it Default CFG Unlocked or something like that. ✔

6 - Boot back into Catalina go into your clover config and under Kernal and Kext Patches Uncheck KernalPM ✘

7 - Save the changes and then restart and your done, your motherboard will now be CFG (MSR) Unlocked ✘

 

Still the same. However there is one thing I noticed in the BIOS > Settings > Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V - [MAC ADDR] > Link Status: Disconnected!

Confirmed cable attached, blinking lights. I can even boot into Windows and internet is fine.

[Olion]

I tried to load recovery mode, all the same, the window opens with a choice of language (as if to continue the installation) mouse and keyboard don’t work.

In debug mode I see this mesages: 

Kext (usb...) disabled.

Erm there is no usb Kext in My EFI, USB is done via the ssdt and dsdt with no kext needed.

 

[Cipha]

Just for fun: Put your mouse and keyboard to a powered hub. That's what fixed my issue with no mouse and keyboard before boot to win or macos. It's so weird. I'm awaiting answer from Gigaybte if they can explain this behaviour.

That is very strange indeed.

did you try reflashing your bios?

[Cipha]

Yes, I had this behaviour before with f9 now I am at f12. I can't explain, it seems like there's not enough power on the ports before the boot up to an OS.

This happens on every port. I also tried custom usbkext and multiple keyboards / mice. Never ever experienced such a behaviour before.

[Olion]

I'm desperate. I'm ready to lose all my data and install new macOS, I do everything according to the tutorial from the @glasgood Catalina guide with your settings for f12 h630 and I have a kernel panic, or some other mistake, but even the installation of the osX does not start.
