Hey peeps, I'm totally stuck and slowly losing my mind. I had a working system for 2 months and for a week I've been getting stuck at the loading screen unless I boot safe mode. I made no changes to OS or EFI and I'm still not sure what triggered it. The only unusual thing that happened prior was I got this error: https://www.reddit.com/r/protools/comments/bm8azy/software_component_unavailable_error_on_mac_any
After some troubleshooting, I decided to do a clean wipe + reinstall. I used an identical EFI to the one I had working before but now whenever I boot I get stuck on or near the following line **ioconsoleusers gioscreenlockstate 3 **

The posts that I’ve read regarding the “Ioconsoleusers…” are mostly related to people using iGPU and not dGPU. The few that I’ve read that were using my dGPU were fixed by adding -agdpmod pikera to boot args. I’ve already been using this.
Everything I've tried so far: (nc = no change)
Hardware
Removing and reseating GPU, CPU, RAM, Hardrives, and front panel connections
Resetting CMOS
BIOS
X.M.P = Profile 1 | CSM = Off ( On = nc) | VT-d = Off (On = nc) |Fast boot = Off | Initial Graphics = PCIe 1 (iGPU was black screen) | Internal Graphics = Auto (On/Off = nc) | Wi-FI = Disabled (On - nc) | USB 3.0 DAC-up = On (Off = Kernel panic) | Above 4G Decoding = on (Off = nc) | TB support = On (Off= nc) |
EFI
Removing Apple folder
ACPI -> removed all but AWAC| EC-USB... | PLUG | PMC (No changes)
Kexts -> tried removing SMCSuperIO | AppleALC | Intelmausi | Smalltree... | USBInject...| (No changes)
Config.plist
Booter - Quirks -> Rebuild apple memory map On/Off (nc)
Kernel - Quirks -> AppleCpuPmCfgLock
Misc - Security -> SecureBootMode ->Default /Disabled (nc)
SMBIOS -> iMac 19,1 | 19,2 |18,3
Boot Args-> -amd_no_dgpu_accel | agdpmod=ignore | agdpmod=vit9696
Any guidance would be much appreciated
Note: I have a Windows boot and everything has been smooth sailing with it whilst the Mac boot has been Fk'd so don't think it could be hardware.
EFI + Plist
