Tracking down random Kernel Panics after Sonoma Install . Any help would be greatly appreciated .

[EliteMacx86]

So, now, after swapping Vega 64 for 6800XT

I can remove PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
from the device properties altogether ?

just delete the whole DP from the PCILIST ?
Before I assume, I want to be clear and specific.

Yes, of course. It was neither required for VEGA 64 as well

It's always good to ask!

Thanks EM86 for taking the time to reply.

Anytime!

Added Whatevergreen.kext
Added BootArg (gdpmod=pikera -wegnoigpu)
Removed PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) from the device properties. and Reset NvRAM.

Now at startup, the progress bar loads about 25% screen goes black and fans on GPU stop.
I can still log-in on the black screen, so know the system is booted to the desktop.
But the display never comes on.

Ah, you're using wrong boot args. It's not gdpmod=piera. But agdpmod=pikera.

Good Eye. wonder how many times I've looked at that and didn't even see it .!?
Will run this EFI and see if crashes persists .

So, what's the report?

So, what's the report?

It feels sluggish . and not as snappy as before... but running steady .

Geekbench score is 1,500-2,000 lower. and Cinebench is 3,000 points lower.

No crashes yet, but it was taking a day or two on the regular . especially if I walked away and came back to use the machine .. about 5 min after the, the keyboard would start acting funny .

Not sure why you attached the benchmarking video. You were supposed to attach the video where you noticed lags. Also, attach a picture showing the Dock+Desktop.
