About this Mac/SMBIOS issues - Serial Number Unavailable and no Mac model #

I'm working through updating my opencore config and I'm struggling to get the smbios to work.


Issue:

Details:

  • OpenCore v0.7.0
  • config.plist - Link - passes OpenCore config.plist Sanity Checker for 0.66
  • MacOS Big Sur - 11.4 & 11.3

Specs:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake
  • GPU: PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT
  • 1x Nvme drive

Process:

  • Download OpenCore
  • Started with clean sample.plist
  • Followed these instructions for MAC/ROM: link
  • Generated new smbios - this tutorial: Link
  • Converted to USBToolBox and removed USBInjectAll

Things I've tried:

  • clear nvram via OpenCore bootloader
  • I've tried both iMac19,1 and iMac19,2.
  • rebuilding from a clean sample.plist

I've hit a troubleshooting wall and I'm looking for suggestions on what to try next.

Thanks for any tips.
