• There should be a way to rid of all FakePCIID.kext, please advise

Details

I followed this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/gigabyte-z490-vision-d-thunderbolt-3-i5-10400-amd-rx-580.298642/ It's completed and has all answers about install and post install. What I've improved it's usb mapping. You can follow all Bios setup steps and others there.

• EFI/OC folder contains different configs. You need to rename one to config.plist
• Please, generate your own serials for PlatformInfo section.

Following is from the previous version. I have not tried fresh BigSur installation.

1. For install I've used config-iGPU-install.plist because I had not found the solution with bios name replacement for my card.
2. config-debug.plist has bios name replacement for MSI 5770XT cards and it should work with install to.
3. Create the install usb yourself, for some reasons downloaded usb images that I tried didn't work.
4. When you'll be sure that macos load well you can use config-prod.plist

For MacOs Catalina capability please follow tis

Misc -> Security -> SecureBootMode -> disabled (for Catalina, works for BigSur too) / default (for BigSur)

config-Intel-GPU.plist follows to black screen BigSur. I have no time to check, please PR if you have a solution.

Language

Default Keyboard Layout/Language setting was changed to EN-US in v1.5.

If you want to change this, just edit this setting in the config.plist:

- NVRAM
	- Add
		- 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82
			- prev-lang:kbd | String | en-US:0

Valid Keyboard Values see here: AppleKeyboardLayouts.txt
