Catalina on X79 Deluxe - 4930K - RX580?

[noisegate]

Hi,

 

I'm thinking about upgrading from Mojave, am I going to be fine?

What are the main changes for a Catalina install?

 

Thanks!

[MaLd0n]

same files from mojave work, just update bootloader and kexts

[noisegate]

Thank you chief! Is it worth it going with Open Core?

yes

[noisegate]

Ok I'll try that, thanks for your time

[noisegate]

Btw, no need to change config.plist file and/or DSDT files if I use OpenCore?

need change all

have many folders here

 

[noisegate]

Ok thanks a lot, I'll check your post!

[noisegate]

Apart from the kexts in your 'EFI OpenCore Chipset Series' archive, I currently also have those installed (per your advice):

 

AMDRadeonPro, AppleIntelE1000e, EFICheckDisabler, EFICheckDisabler, FakeSMC, NoVPAJpeg.

 

Should I keep and update them, or are they no longer necessary for my build?

Thanks!

try with full efi folder first, if dont work check others

[noisegate]

Yes, I'll do that. I'm not sure where to look for patched DSDT and SSDT for my setup?

Hey there!

did you manage to use open core on X79? as far as i can see there are no X79 OC EFI folder to download from olarila. If Mald0n didn't make it ... it could be a dead case?

try with x299 folder and let me know

Hi Maldon, it´s my first time posting a comment: 
I´ve been striving to jump to OpenCore, last night I placed the EFI folder for X299 that you mentioned and it works.
But after booting in the "welcome" screen of macOS Mojave, it´s not working the USB, neither the mouse, neither the keyboard.
This is my gear:
- CPU Core i7 3930K 6 cores
- MB Gigabyte X79 UP5 Wifi (I´m not using the extra cards for Wifi and Bluetooth)
- GPU Radeon Amd RX580 Sapphire Pulse 8GB 
- RAM 32GB
 By the way, the other that I´m facing is this: 
Using the RX580, it´s woking just 2 monitors, connecting a third monitor, there´s a black screen in the 3rd and having glitches in the first 2.
Recently, I could get a second RX580, I was worried if the the first RX580 was broken or damaged, so
I installed both cards, and the second RX580 made to work both in this way:
the card in the slot 1: still working just 2 monitors, slot 2: working good the 5 ports for the monitors.
But just using 1, I have that issues. 

Any recomendation it will be appreciated. Thank you.

use usbinjectall and rename devices usb to eh01 and eh02

[dadoproduccion]

Thank you for your fast response. I appreciate it. 
To rename EH01 and EH02, do I take the data from my DSDT Patch in Clover?
in that config.plist appears the info to Find and Replace for: 
- XHC1 to XHC (58484331 to 5848435F )
- EHC1 to EH01 (45484331  to 45483031 )
- EHC2 to EH02 (45484332 to 45483032 )
- EUSB to EH01 (45555342 to 45483031 )
- USBE to EH02 (55534245 to 45483032 ) 

Now, I understand that every config.plist it´s so different the structure (between Clover and OC)

Is this information correct to be added to OC Config.plist? or where or how could I get the Find and Replace for the USB Devices to EH01 and EH02?
Thank you so much.

[MaLd0n]

only

EUSB to EH01 (45555342 to 45483031 )
USBE to EH02 (55534245 to 45483032 )

Hi Maldon! 
I tried those, and initially, didn´t work but I realized the folder it was for iMacPro1,1, so I changed to MacPro6,1 that usually I use in Clover...and.....Voilá! 
I could get in! USB Working!! 
Now, 2 more issues that I´m reading to resolve: 
1) No network. Appears like there´s no ethernet. (I´m using Intel Mausi and Realtek8111 my MB has 2 ethernet, and usually works with those 2, I removed the other kexts related to ethernet.
2) I tried to use just 1 RX580, and the same issue: just 2 screens working, as soon as I connect a 3rd display, starts to have glitches, and a black screen the 3rd. 

Thank you for your help!

Hi Maldon!

uefi mode? csm disable?

[dadoproduccion]

yes, I got UEfi Mode, my MB doesn´t have the CSM Option to disable it. altough has a window 8 option in there it´s possible to disable security. 

[dadoproduccion]

Update: 
I resolved the Ethernet issue: 
I just updated the kexts: 
Realtek8111 and IntelMausi.

Also just in case, I installed, the NullEthernet, including in the ACPI: ssdt-rmne.aml

and it worked! 
Right now, still trying to map the usb....
I can´t find why I find the ports are called: HP11-HP27, instead HSxx or SSxx...

Greetings Maldon.!

GPU: RX580 (I have 2, by now, I don´t know, But I´ve not been able to make it work just 1 with multiple monitors. using 1, just works the 2 DP displays, Adding just 1 more, it start having glitches, and black screen in the 3rd monitor
Using 2 GPU´s, the 2ns is working neatly and the first, I´m just using the 2nd DP display. 

I´m sending you the config.plist file.
