petkovea Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi all, a newbie here! I just built the following machine but can't get past the Apple logo during installation: Intel® Core™ i7-8700K Processor ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING (WI-FI AC) ROG-STRIX-RX580-O8G-GAMING RAM Kingston 32GB (2x16) (2400mHz) 2 x SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 250GB 2 x Seagate SkyHawk 4TB Surveillance Hard Drive 64MB NZXT Kraken X62 liquid cooler I followed this guide for my hack https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/321872-guide-sierra-high-sierra-on-mobos-serie-100-200-300-skylake-kabylake-coffeelake-dsdt/ and did everything accordingly, used the provided EFI folder as well. BIOS settings Exit → Load Optimized Defaults : Yes Advanced \ System Agent(SA) Configuration → Vt-d : Disabled Advanced \ PCH Configuration → IOAPIC 24-119 Entries : Enabled Advanced \ APM Configuration → Power On By PCI-E/PCI : Disabled Advanced \ Network Stack Configuration → Network Stack : Disabled Advanced \ USB Configuration → Legacy USB Support : Auto ( needs to be auto for SSDT-UIAC.aml to work ) Boot → Fast Boot : Disabled Boot → Secure Boot → OS Type : Other OS Boot → CSM : Disabled ( Only enable if using dual monitor setup) Verbose outputs the following error after which the system reboots straight to the Clover bootloader. r10): Starting \.IABootFiles\boot.efi Hibernate wake: no +++++++++++++++++++++ I tried fiddling with fakecpuid, various kext patches but no matter what I do I can never make it to the installation welcome menu.... I also tried everything Roberto suggests (even his EFI folder) in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URtiCmVewNA albeit all in vain. Any help will be much appreciated, thank you in advance!

Gigamaxx Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Use your cursor arrows at clover screen and go to “options” then go to CPU Tuning and uncheck halt enabler, and pstates. Ty that and use verbose mode for error codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigamaxx Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Go to options and then ACPI patching and uncheck any fixes in DSDT fix mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigamaxx Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Have you tried -s or single user mode? Hit space bar and select verbose, single user, don’t reboot, keep symbols, and debug Kexts. If it stops at root# follow directions listed above the root# message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigamaxx Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 ++++++++++++++ is the kernel and prelinked kernel loading sign. Maybe you have a corrupted kernel or prelinkedkernel. if you have tried fake CPUIds and it has no effect maybe you need to remake your USB installer. Mine other thing, did you set bios EHCI handoff enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine other thing, did you set bios EHCI handoff enabled? I've remade the installer a couple of times now, just to make sure it's not stemming from a corrupt installer so it must be something else. I'll check if the EHCI handoff is enabled and let you know in a sec! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigamaxx Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Also, try different USB ports, it could be this but usually the USB port issue arises later in the loading process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that I actually don't have the handoff option in BIOS, at least not USB CONFIGURATION sub menu. I did a quick research and it is supposed to be in that section but it is entirely missing as an option. Will try different USB ports and report!
