Installing Sonoma on Asus Sabertooth X79 - PLEASE HELP

[Billsy11]

I have been racking my brain for literally weeks. I have tried so many different posts and have also tried building my own using dortania github but i get so many different panic errors and i just cant figure out where i am going wrong.

My setup is as follows:
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth X79
CPU: Intel Core i7 -3820
GPU: AMD Radeon RX580
RAM: 48GB Corsair Vengeance

My current EFI Folder looks like this and this is the error i keep getting.......

Image is the error im getting from EFI compiled with a shared SABERTOOTH.ZIP after i enable AppleCpuPmCfgLock, AppleXcpmCfgLock and AppleXcpmExtraMsrs and then because i have AMD i tried the USB remap, adding the 2 kext files NoAVXFSCompressionTypeZlib-AVXpel.kext and CryptexFixup.kext and then also the boot arg -amd_no_dgpu_accel of which none work for me as i get error as shown in image.

i just cant seem to figure it out. I also compiled my own EFI with still no joy.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone help me get this up and running

Hi! I'm not sure, maybe I'll be wrong, but those errors have the prefix HCI which refers to Bluetooth controller. Do you have a Bluetooth device? I can see you have a BT kext on your EFI, try removing that.

"Non-Monotonic time" panic means the CPU TSC is not properly synched after power on. This would cause booting issue, commonly seen since Monterey. Unfortunately, this is hardware related because the BIOS failed to initialize the CPU's TSC for all cores. This is discussed in this thread. There was a trick discussed in that thread by modifying the CPU definitions in DSDT which worked for HANNANZHI X79 board. You may give it a trial, but success is not guaranteed.  Also, you should try install Big Sur first, so you get a working EFI. Then try to get Monterey working (if you could solve the TSC out of sych issue), before trying newer OS. Goodluck!

Thanks. I will try to get a working Big sur first and then see what happens.

Thank you so much

EDIT:

And then second image after i enable XHCI Handoff in BIOS.

I also face this situation: can I solve my problem with this suggest solution.

Ensure that your EFI folder is correctly structured. It should contain the necessary folders like CLOVER or OC depending on the bootloader you are using.
Verify that you have the latest version of OpenCore or Clover installed.

I succeeded in Monterey at least with X79.

As well as many other users.

This i would love to achieve next but i just kept getting stuck. I had tried so many options but always had a panic error somewhere. The more i researched, the more it got complicated as so many people have different views of how it works best. So im thinking at least if i can get Big Sur on there as BillDH2k mentioned above and have a working EFI then i can maybe use that to create one for Monterey. A little help in hand would be amazing.

Thank you sir. I really appreciate this. Im going to match your EFI Folder to mine to see where i was going wrong. Yours seems to be working so far so thank you very much 🙏😁

 

EDIT: This EFI worked an absolute treat. Mine had far too much going wrong hence the panic errors 😰. Now onto Monterey hopefully 🙏. Although Big sur is working very well. I have just added Kexts for Wifi and Bluetooth. All working perfect.

Start comparing from the ACPI folder

Yes makes sense. Mine needed a big re-jig tbh. i managed to get Big Sur working fine. Added wifi and bluetooth with my old adapters so had a full working system. Good news is that the same EFI works great on Monterey too. So ive installed Monterey but now do not have bluetooth and wifi due to my adapters being old and MacOS not supporting Atheros anymore.

 

So MacOS Monterey 12.7.6 full install, working well just waiting for my new bluetooth and wifi adapter to come.

 

Yet again Thank you so much for your help. 💪
