i7-1100k, MSI z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi -> can get to installer but freezes or reboots 10-60 seconds later....

[stakeout5]

Hey! As always thanks for all your help and support. Using the Dortaina guide and yours I am able to reach the installer for Monterey but get a freeze or a random reboot anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes after reaching installer. (Same exact thing with Big Sur installer). Sometimes I can format the disk and begin the install, sometimes it'll freeze during the install, sometimes it will freeze while formatting the disk. Very random and I can't reproduce it... I am unsure why.

I found that masking the CPU with the strings you recommended got me there, but the ones from this config.plist seemed to make things work better / let me do things longer before freezing. I also used the PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x3) string from the above config.plist.    NOTE: I am not able to reach the installer if I leave DeviceProperties blank like your pre-built EFI.

I also tried SMBIOS for iMacPro1,1 and the current iMac20,1 like Dortaina recommends for 8 core processors. Neither seem to make a difference.

I do have a I225-V 2.5G LAN and used the patch from here in kernel too as well as device-id from here (PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0) section only) which didn't seem to hurt anything / change the freezing in any way.

I was wondering if you had any thoughts at this time on why it might be freezing randomly? Thanks.      (Bios set up according to here.)

Specs:

• i7-11700k
• MSI z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi
• Nitro Sapphire RX Vega 56 (using 64 bios at the moment and previously worked on an old hack with big sur and the same card with occasional freezing with Final Cut Pro use)
• Crucial 500gb SSD SATA
• FENVI T919 WIFI / BT Card

Attached is the EFI that let me get 17 whole minutes into the installer before freezing.

Hey the folder is great! I did not have any freezes and I was able to install and land on the desktop successfully. I am having one issue: 

1. Ethernet keeps dropping on and off all on its own which is very odd.... I took a screen record so you could see:

Things I tried:

- updating IntelMausi kext to latest

- removing all other ethernet kexts (and updating config)

- applying patch from above: 

""I do have a I225-V 2.5G LAN and used the patch from here in kernel too as well as device-id from here (PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0) section only) which didn't seem to hurt anything / change the freezing in any way.""

....nothing fixed it.

Thoughts? Thanks.

Enjoy!

okay, so what I did was use a USB to Ethernet adapter, and it is a RealTek chip so I used the RealTek kext and it works. I get 160 MBPS instead of my normal 400 MBPS, think there is any way to get a little more out of it? Thanks

no idea about that
