Random reboots while loading the system

[EliteMacx86]

1) all drives are SN850X
2) does it matter

Provide the System Report, attach a copy of IOReg and EFI along with the BIOS Settings.

To confirm again, does the freezing and random reboot stops when you remove either of these two boot drives or is it specific to Tahoe only?

Also, provide the info where these two drives are installed on the Motherboard (slot location).

It doesn't matter which drive I remove, where it's located, or what slot it's in. If there's a single NVMe drive with MacOS, there's no problem, regardless of whether it's a Sequioa or Tahoe.

I've tried a wide variety of settings. I've changed various quirk combinations, added drives to device properties, monitored nvmefix logs, and various other combinations. Posting the current configuration here won't change anything, as I've already tried a wide variety of settings, and there's no point relying on the current settings. My question is, can anyone recreate the same setup I have—two nvme drives (not nvme and ssd) with Tahoe installed on one and Sequoia on the other—and confirm there are no boot issues.

Have a same setup due to your case and no such issue. The drives are also SN850X.

As expected, its the XTXH variant. Spoofing is required. Spoof the device ID to 73BF

I don't know if using WhateverGreen + Spoof for the 6900 XTXH card has any advantages over NootRX. Under normal system use, there's no difference—the graphics card works fine in both cases. However, when upgrading MacOS (for example, I upgraded from Tahoe Beta 5 to Beta 6 today), the WhateverGreen + Spoof combination doesn't handle it. It can't properly launch the GUI during the update. With NootRX, the update proceeds without any issues.

Here a few observations:

- The deice-id shouldn't be needed in the SSDT-GFX0. Plus, if the connectors are being recognized natively and they're proper, you shouldn't require injecting @0,connector-type.

- The Thunderbolt SSDT you're using is not appropriate. See the HotPlug guide to build SSDT for yourself.

- As mentioned several times, you MUST disable the ResizeAppleGpuBars and ResizeGpuBars and so in BIOS.

- The XXV710 is a native supported NIC and you MUST not inject any DeviceProperties for that. Same goes for WD SN850X NVMe SSD.

- Why are you injecting CPUFriendDataProvider as well as using SSDT to inject those data.

- NVMeFix shouldn't be needed for your hardware.

- BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext is depreciated and must not be used on macOS Monterey and newer. See Bluetooth guide for more information.

- Also, you wouldn't need nvmefdbg=1 arg.

- AFPS driver support is native. Why do you need apfs_aligned.efi? Moreover, you shouldn't require UnblockFsConnect and IgnoreInvalidFlexRatio quirk.

- Despite of several reminders, not sure why you need to use CustomSMBIOSGuid quirk along with Custom SMBIOS Mode. Are you experiencing any BIOS reset message after reboot? If not, you should disable DisableRtcChecksum.
