Gigabyte TRX40 Designare - Shutdown then restarts

@epxpc01,

 

The Gigabyte TRX40 has a "Wake on LAN" setting in BIOS that is ON by default. You need to turn it OFF. Try that and report back.

 

If that alone doesn't work, try checking 1st 3 MMIO addresses as skip=1 and only the last 4 as skip 0. I forget what the consensus on the MMIOs is, @fabiosun can help reviewing your log. My MMIO addresses may be different even on the same board because I use BIOS f4h, which is not publicly available and changed my MMIO compared to f4c. Gigabyte has since rolled out newer BIOS which I have not tested.

 

If none of the above helps, try unplugging any extra USB devices you have, even keyboard, and re-try. Sometimes incompatible USB devices cause an issue.

Thank you meina222!

 

I did disable wake on lan and with the graphics card in slot 1,3,4 it hangs on the desktop. But with the graphics in slot 2 it turns off for 2 seconds, then back on.  I am not quite sure which MMIO's to enable, currently all 14 out of 18 are enabled. The last 4 I removed (skip 0).

@epxpc01,

 

I compared your EFI against mine. I have different BIOS so your MMIO is different. Here's a partial EFI structure with release OC (I removed the bulky Resources and Tools so I can share it here) that I currently use adapted to your MMIO. I also added some ACPI aml's for NVRAM, which may or may not help w shutdown. I use simplified startup args to just "-v keepsyms=1"

 

My OS is Big Sur beta 10 and the set of AMD patches in my config.plsit is reduced and tested to work on beta 9 and beta 10. Re-add your patches if you want lower OS's as I have not tested Catalina. Included is also a (disabled) aml that maps my ports with the MacPro7,1 SMBIOS.

Ok, perhaps it's best to try using your old EFI as a reference and change that. My BIOS is a bit older than yours (f4i I think is really f4L is just not named correctly on GB page). The reason I use f4h is Thunderbolt in Slot 4, which in earlier BIOS-es would not work.

 

Back to your original working EFI. Can you start by simplifying your boot args to just -v keepsyms=1. You can also disable Whatevergreen. If that works, try adding the .aml files in ACPI section from my attached EFI to see if we can get NVRAM working.
