Thanks for the heads-up @CaseySJ, do you know if there are some replacement M.2 modules on the market that work under Sonoma with all the "Apple features"?
@CaseySJ I was just thinking regarding the wifi not working in Sonoma, if we know the wifi chipset used in the M1 or M2 Mac Air/book, etc. and a PCIe card on the market is available with the same chipset, shouldn't it work out of the box? I have tried to find what wifi chipset is used in the...

I have been following your guide based on my "best" programming instinct and brain.
I have created Mac install USB using Appstore download (Monterey) and command line (sudo xx). Then I have downloaded 0.8.3 original EFI from the guide, GenBIOS, then ProperTree to add Intelwifi and BT kext (as I intend to use onboard card).
I have followed to set the BIOS setting as well (I couldn't find config lock that Celeri mentioned--but I did find CFG lock under CPU management and I assume this is same.)
I can boot into the driver. However I cannot install as after I select "Install macOS Monterey"--Apple logo shows up and it stops there.
I am fairly noob with OC and programing in general... I had built my older one with clover back when Skylake had came out (yes, I know it is old.)--it lasted me up until this year and it canned itself.
I know clover had -v argument put in to see the debug but I am not sure what to do with OC.
I am not sure what I have done wrong here.
I have attached EFI I had been using. Thank you for any help in advance.
PS I did not include APPLE folder in my EFI folder-based on Dortania's guide, it seemed unnecessary....maybe I am wrong.
The first question that comes to my mind is: which version of Monterey are you trying to boot? The Radeon 6600 is supported only in Monterey 12.1, so if you happen to have used a 12.0 installer, then it may be the reason.
As a quick follow-up, I can report that this build still holds on pretty well with the recently released Sonoma 14.2, still with OpenCore 0.9.3.
Just like 14.0, everything works — except WiFi, of course, since the drivers for the BCM94360NG module have been removed in Sonoma. Thus, you can safely update to 14.2, except if you rely on WiFi for any kind of need: internet, LAN, and specific Apple features like Airdrop, Unlock with Apple Watch, Handoff, etc.

I have the exact same problem. Stuck on Apple logo at booting. Loading bar does not progress. Followed every BIOS config. Did you find out some solution?
I don't know how to do that. I'm trying to read something about it, but cannot find it. Could use some help, seems the easiest thing to do but this is my first build and I am fairly noob! Thank you!
EDIT: I found the way. Indeed easy. This is what it shows. I'm willing to understand, but right now I'm lost. Would appriciate the help.

I am using Celeri's with my own generated SMBIOS. Same motherboard, gpu, also Alder Lake, same RAM, SSD and Wi-Fi/BT adapter. I figured there wasn't a lot to change for a first boot try.

Enable Aquantia AQC113 10GbE Ethernet This is a newer version of the 10GbE Ethernet controller. To enable this controller in macOS, perform these steps:
First apply the Kernel patch described in the AQC107 section above. That patch is necessary.
Then add the attached SSDT (SSDT-AQUANTIA-AQC113C.aml) to OpenCore by:
Copying file to EFI/OC/ACPI folder
Adding an entry in config.plist--> ACPI section
Note that the SSDT assumes AQC113 is on RP01. If it's on a different PCI root port, please let us know or modify the SSDT appropriately. Use IORegistryExplorer to determine the root port of the Aquantia 10GbE device.
A cold boot is necessary to activate AQC113. Cold boot means: Shutdown the system and flip power switch on PSU to OFF for 10 seconds, then power the system back up.

As stated in the build guide (post 1) there are two CPU core configurations that work with macOS. The configurations depend on whether Hyper Threading is enabled or disabled:
Hyper Threading Enabled:
P-cores may be enabled
E-cores must be disabled
Hyper Threading Disabled:
P-cores may be enabled
E-cores may be enabled
However, Windows 10 and Windows 11 support the asymmetric BIG.little architecture of Alder Lake. Unlike macOS, these operating systems will work when P-cores, E-cores, and Hyper Threading are all enabled. As for Linux, depending on the kernel version, all P-cores, E-cores, and Hyper Threads may also be workable.
On a multi-boot system, therefore, the ideal configuration is to enable all P-cores, E-cores, and Hyper Threads for the benefit of operating systems that can take advantage of that topology. But for macOS, we can apply a SSDT that will filter out E-cores and allow macOS to run on P-cores and Hyper Threads.
Benchmarks performed in macOS indicate that option 1 above yields better results than option 2. Hence, using an SSDT that filters in all P-cores and Hyper Threads, but filters out E-cores, provides a good overall solution. To set this up, there is an SSDT specific to i5-12600K, and another that is specific to both i7-12700K and i9-12900K.
These SSDTs are included in the OpenCore EFI for Gigabyte Z690 Aero G, but are also attached here for other board owners.
The OpenCore kernel quirk ProvideCurrentCpuInfo must be enabled in order to use these SSDTs. This quirk is already enabled in the OpenCore EFI folder for Gigabyte Z690 Aero G posted in this thread. View attachment 535315
Below we can see that Windows 11 is using all 16 threads on i5-12600K because P-cores, E-cores, and Hyper Threads are enabled in BIOS. On the left side pane we can see that both Intel UHD 770 and AMD RX 6800 XT are enabled and available.
