Ozmosis migration to Opencore

hello supergg12 ,

at first- we have to know, wich revision of the mainboard are you using- the 1.0, 1.1 or the 1.2 revision?

I've prepared an current version of the bios, you can use. of curse oz will be gone- and you have to build an efi, with the help of the helpers here no doubt. so no reason to sorrow

i've told to an oz user and it seems to be that you have to reflash your bios with the origin bios - after that you could flash one of the following bios nvme-mod-ubu-current

edit- bios follows after it's known wich revision were used

greets

you've answered the most imported thing - your board revision is "1.0" that is important because there 3 versions, about 2 different version exists. ok, the dualbiosfeature is well, but it is easier to flash the right one.

so, the current version- an old one will be at the gigabyte website- but that is not necessary to take a look for.

i've prepeared a current a bit modded bios for your board,- the nvme-ubu-mod is a bios that allows you to put an nvme ssd via an pci-e adapter in your pci-e slot -and of course use it, ubu stands for "u-efi b-ios u-pdater" based on its thread at the win-raid forum.

so it is the most current possible -mod-version of your bios.

if you want i'll upload it in the thread so you are able to flash it by your self-

the provedure will be:

edit -first prepare an stick with a efi

edit- second -flash the current origin bios -

edit third flash the nvme-ubu-mod -

thats all : ready to go

edit- have you prepared an usb-stick with monterey already?

edit 2 does a efi-partition exist at your current system?

edit 3- you can use the added basic efi for the usb-stick-it should run with your board and your current hw-setting-,-you know how to prepare a efi-bootstick?

you can use the added efi from the post before it is already opencore and should run with your board, and of course- there ist no need fpr an nvme-ssd to run osx-you can still use your s-ata or m-sata ,ssd, or even hdd , it's just an option for the "future-use" with your board, if you want.

i add an biospack with an order 1-3 to flash

1th the unmodded current bios, 2nd the ubu-modded one

and 3rd the nvme-and others mod.

greets

edit i don't know what are the keyboard-layout currently were, so it's en-us, you have change it later in the efi -config.plist

questions:

1. nvme-ubu-mod; do i have to have an nvme ssd drive? or can i still continue to work with my current ssd?
2. And does this bios already have the correct parameters to start OC?
3. I think it will also be appropriate to rearrange the efi partition with the correct settings?
4. and which ones?

answers:

1. you have not to use an nvme drive to use your current installation of osx further - and could still use your current ssd.
2. the bios does not have the the correct parameters it is just the origin one without edited settings
3. i think you have not to rearrange the efi-partition
4. same as 3.
5. the correct biossetting will be something like ahci, csm-disabled, they are at the forum or maybe in the dortonia guide - edit2 - 1.3 Installationsvorbereitungen --edit of course the boot-order, boot from the ssd wich contains the efi-folder - you've transfered from the stick to the efi-partition

i've already make the settings of the kext-order, maybe if you put more kext to the efi the order maybe changed, but atm it should run as it is- no need to rearrange it , it's able to use and install monterey but it should be maybe recommend to make the usb-mapping before updating to big sur or monterey

q:- As I understand it, I am not creating a new "OC" folder in the EFI partition?

a:- yes, you have not to create one- you use and transfer the efi-folder in post 4 "supergg12-EFI.zip" that i've added here in the thread

have you already download the efi?

that one (efi) , wich is named " supergg12-efi-zip " is the right one and "only" efi in this thread

put the efi folder to the partition, - the folder already contains the "oc" and "boot" folders

with your current hardware config you are able to use, big-sur, monterey - i've an similar configuration here

hello supergg12 ,

you have an different nic card as like the z77-d"s"3h ,so the results- try the current efi from today, mabe it works- replace the folder with the current one -or one by one, the oc and the boot-folder

greets

edit- the verbosemode is still important, if your system will work correctly, you're able to disable it by yourself,- it is just an bootargument inside the config.plist

i have just uploaded it, it is the superegg12-2911-2021-efi.zip attached to the post above yours
