Cloned NVMe and now I'm failing to boot with "persistent enumeration failures"

Hi all,

I wanted to speed up my machine by replacing the 970 Evo which is now very slow to boot with an SN770 that I hope is quicker.

The 970 is my macOS drive and holds my EFI partition too. I have separate drives for Windows 11, and my Steam/Gog/Games libraries.

I cloned the drive using MinTools Partition Wizard in Windows, as I assumed cloning a boot drive while booted from it would fail on the macOS side.

I can still boot fine from the EFI on the new drive, having removed the old one, so OpenCore works fine still, and I get through FileVault, but during boot I now get:

AppleUSBHostPort ::disconnect: persistent enumeration failures 

Then it gets a "broken" icon and I have to reboot.

I've not go anything new or different with the USB setup compared to before.

Any ideas on either how to better clone the drive, or how to fix the existing one?

​

Setup:

• macoS Monterrey
• Z390 Aorus Master
• Core i7
• Gigabyte 6900XT
• OpenCore 8.0? Can't remember -it's a recent build.
