Hardware:
CPU: Intel i7 10700
GPU: RX (Sapphire) 580
RAM: 32 GB DDR4 4000
Motherboard: ASUS Rog Strix Z590i (ITX) Gaming with WIFI and i225V Ethernet on board.
I am dual booting Mac (hopefully) and Windows 11 on this machine. OpenCore is the Boot manager. Windows is on its own 2.5 SSD, and Mac will be on its own too. Western Digital blue both.
I've been following Dortania's vanilla install for Comet Lake using a recovery mode installer for Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina, another for Big Sur and one for Monterey, none have Success fully started the installer. Each has gotten to recovery mode, but the install hits panics at various times.
I have a couple questions, which I would like to learn how to answer myself.
Question #1: How do i convert an address from the Windows Device Properties to Canonic String Form?
First, the iGPU and the Ethernet NIC are both on board, and in order to patch them i need to have the right address (in "canonic string form"). Dortania guide's PCI addresses are not correct for my board, so i need to correct to get the patches applied.
Here is the info for the Radeon RX 580 GPU and for the I225-V NIC. How do i write these in Canonic String Form?
Radeon RX 580
Device Instance Path:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_67DF&SUBSYS_353E174B&REV_E7\4&38AB2860&0&0008
Location Information:
PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0
Location Paths:
PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0100)#PCI(0000)
ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(PC00)#ACPI(PEG1)#ACPI(PEGP)
ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(USBX)#ACPI(PEG1)#ACPI(PEGP)
How do I write that in Canonic String Form?
Same info for the Ethernet NIC:
Device Instance Path: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15F3&SUBSYS_87D21043&REV_03\FC3497FFFFA1DD2600
Location Information:
PCI Slot 10 (PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0)
Location Paths:
PCIROOT(0)#PCI(1C06)#PCI(0000)
ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(PC00)#ACPI(RP07)#ACPI(D061)
ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(PC00)#ACPI(RP07)#ACPI(PXSX)
ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(USBX)#ACPI(RP07)#ACPI(D061)
ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(USBX)#ACPI(RP07)#ACPI(PXSX)
And for the second Question, as between the three versions of MacOS, which version and release level is best for this set up, assuming proper config? 10.15.7? 11.6.1? 12.0.1?
