Sonoma possible on Prime z390a?

Recommended Posts

Well I thought I would attempt to install Sonoma on an Asus Prime z390a and there is absolutely nothing out there for this. Has anybody attempted it? I can't even find any info on installing this OS on this board. The closest thing I can find is to install Catalina.... chichis now no longer supported. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this?

So if it is supported, is there a specific detailed guide   anywhere for the installer creation, installation and the proper EFI folder or open core settings/adjustments for the hardware? I am able to find bits and pieces but nothing that is like a true step by step guide for this operation from start to finish.

1. I have tried that. It doesn’t work. Will not load up. Get to “install Sonoma” from installer boot screen and it stops after a few lines of code. 
 

Step1. Downloaded “Olarila Sonoma 14.1” image

Step 2. Formatted USB drive to MacOS extended 

Step 3. Used Balena Etcher to create installer.

Step 4. Removed EFI folder from EFI partition on usb drive and replaced with 300 series chipset EFI folder provided.

Step 5. Put USB into target system and boot to USB. Boot up… select “install Sonoma” . After several lines of code system stops and I cannot even get to the installer or tools to format drive for installation. 
 

Dead in the water…

This is where it stops at... and moves no further.

-Bios/UEFI in full default settings(CSM to Disable with AMD GPU - Sata to Ahci - Secure Boot Disable on mobiles)
-Delete old EFI folder and paste new. Don't use merge files
-Don't use Drag and Drop into EFI partition. Use Copy/Paste instead
-Reset NVRAM one time - with OpenCore use entry "Reset Nvram" / with Clover use F11 key on boot screen

OK, Reset everything and did new install drive. Must have either missed an item in the BIOS or had a bad installer.Got it to load up and installing now. Now for the fun part of getting it to stand on it's own and everything working as needed!
