Also valid for Monterey and Ventura.
Hardware: Z390 Aorus Elite + i9-9900K + RX 6600 XT + Fenvi T919.
Original post: [GUIDE] macOS 13 Ventura on Z390 Aorus Elite with RX 6600 and OpenCore 0.8.6.

There are 4 config.plist files for different SMBIOS, successfully tested on Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma beta:
  • config-14-imac-amd.plist: iMac19,1 + dGPU AMD + iGPU enabled in BIOS
  • config-14-imac-intel.plist: iMac19,1 + iGPU enabled in BIOS as main card
  • config-14-imacpro.plist: iMacPro1,1 + dGPU AMD + iGPU disabled in BIOS
  • config-14-macpro.plist: MacPro7,1 + dGPU AMD + iGPU disabled in BIOS.
Remember to fill in your serial and ROM numbers.

Note: UTBMap.kext (next to USBToolBox.kext) is made for Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite. If you have a different motherboard, you must have your own USB ports map.

Sonoma beta notes
  • OTA updates (incremental updates from Software Update) don't work (the update doesn't even show up in the Software Update panel) except with iMac19,1 SMBIOS, probably related to Hackintosh missing Apple T2 chip since iMac19,1 lacks T2 chip but iMacPro1,1 and MacPro7,1 both have T2 chip.
  • If you use iMacPro1,1 or MacPro7,1 SMBIOS, there is another possibility to have incremental updates without changing the SMBIOS: add RestrictEvents extension and revpatch=sbvmm argument in boot args.
  • Both changes (SMBIOS and RestrictEvents with boot arg) can be reverted after the update.
  • Updating via the full installer package works with any of the 3 SMBIOS.
  • Broadcom BCM4360 series Wi-Fi does not work in Sonoma because the system does not include the drivers. Therefore, the Fenvi T919 card, which has worked very well OOTB so far, in Sonoma only provides Bluetooth. This is a serious inconvenience because the different USB wifi dongles that work in Sonoma lose some of the functionality of the Apple ecosystem like AirDrop, iPhone camera, etc.

Otherwise, Sonoma beta works fine on this PC, with few and minor bugs detected so far.

 

Please @Slice or any moderator move this post to Installation >> Sonoma, I posted it on Post-installation by mistake.

@semson

With unfairgva=6 in boot args or in dGPU DeviceProperties I have (partial) DRM: TV app works fine and  most of DRM content can be played.

 

Here you have the EFI with OC 0.9.5 and the unfairgva property:
