rmmcwh Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I have a GA-X58A-UD3R v2 (currently running Monterey as MacPro7,1). I have installed Sonoma on another NVME, got past all errors during boot - except- it will reboot right before the Apple logo and login screen appears (which will also cause me to reboot several times to get back into my Monterey disk). I think I need a separate set of eyes to see where I may be going wrong. I have tried many, many different options, and I cannot determine what could be causing this. I really appreciate any clues or assistance anyone can give. Thank you very much. config.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Lamp Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Try and have a look over here; There are a bunch of great tips on legacy systems, I'm currently working through this with Clover on an x79 system. I'd be very curious if you get this going, I have the same board and a processor tucked away somewhere. That's a very old GFX card, but you could try this in the boot arguments -amd_no_dgpu_accel It's one of tips from that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmcwh Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Thank you for your response, I have read through that topic, amongst others. I am going to retry the amd boot argument again, with other changes I have made and see where it leads me. I think it may be a kext that Sonoma no longer needs. If you think of any other leads let me know, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmcwh Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Here are some screen shots at the end of boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Lamp Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I packed it in on this myself. Even on a newer board, an X79 running as a MacPro 6,1, I had to make some adjustments to loosen the tscsync settings to get it to boot Monterey. After that we had occasional odd click and pop issues (audio workstation) In the end I tracked down an MSI Z590 board and an i9-109000. I would have preferred a z490 (all largely natively supported) but I got the z590 working, there's no looking back. I know that's not the answer you're looking for, but you've got a big hill to climb to get this one to work. There are a lot of people using OCLP on similar generation Macs that are having some success, until there is a minor update, which breaks everything. Anyhow, those last entries on the second picture look like ACPI issues. Have you tried booting this with Clover? I have some rigs that work better with OpenCore and others that work better with Clover, just a thought. For what it's worth I ran into some ACPI issues with booting on my x299 that I had to correct just updating from 14.1 to 14.1.1. I don't know what patches you have in your DSDT.aml file, you may want to have another look at that and see if you are getting conflicts between it and your other SSDTs. Can you boot Monterey with it disabled? I'm also not sure that you need the SSDT-AWAC as that older board has a proper RTC. If I understand this correctly https://dortania.github.io/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Universal/awac.html that SSDT is to correct newer hardware without a proper RTC, which shouldn't be an issue with the x58.
