[WIP][Success] Z97X-UD5H i7-4770k running Mojave Beta 1

Hi,

 

I thought it would be nice that I would be the first here to give my experience with getting Mojave running and mostly working on my system.

 

My specifications are as follows:

 

iMac 14,2

 

GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H / Intel Core i7-4770k @ 4.4GHz / 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 @ 1600MHz

MSI AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB OC

250GB SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND SSD / 120GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD

1TB 5.4K HDD

 

I used the config that @MaLd0n helped me with. Seriously, he is a legend. HERE is my Clover Config including everything I use for 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave.

 

Installation Procedure:

 

 

Create bootable USB media with createinstallmedia - sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ 10.14\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/"Insert Volume Name here"  ***** Remove quotation marks!!! 

 

**"--Applicationpath" is now depreciated and should not be used when making a 10.14 Mojave USB. I do not know if this will change in upcoming releases.

 

** ConvertToAPFS is now depreciated and no longer works when installing 10.14 Mojave beta 1. Using the command "--converttoapfs NO" will not work if you use it with "createinstallmedia".

 

Editing "minstallconfig.xml" within the "macOS Install Data" folder on the target partition chosen during installation to change "ConvertToAPFS" from "TRUE" to "FALSE" would also not disable APFS conversion.

 

Installation ran through well, but it did restart just after installation began which seemed to have been caused by a crash, but it seemed like it was normal as this happened twice as I tried installing Mojave earlier and the same thing happened. Rebooting again into the installation on the target drive that was selected before described as "macOS Install"  and named "macOS 10.14" resumed installation.

 

Everything from then on was easy and smooth. I set-up my iCloud and things as such and was brought to the desktop of macOS 10.14 Mojave!

 

 

What does work:

 

Graphics (Acceleration/Metal) // 4K video dropped 0 frames // Picture-in-Picture

Mouse and Keyboard

USB 3.0 -  Full 5 GBP/s - Only ports above HDMI Port and front I/O

USB 3.0 under both Intel and Killer Ethernet ports function with USB 2.0 devices.

Ethernet (only Intel NIC so far) Both NIC's work, Intel I217-V and Killer E2200

iMessage

Sleep and Wake

Shutdown

Restart

 

Update #1:

 

Temporary Fix: ***I have gotten audio to work after browsing Reddit, I stumbled across this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/8orn7w/mojave_files_needed/e05kkj9/

 

Update #2:

 

I have just found a kext for the on-board Killer E2200 NIC after searching with device and vendor ID's on this forum.

https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/313-atherose2200ethernet/

 

Update #3:

 

Audio is now fully operational with new version 1.2.8 of AppleALC, from here: 

 

What does NOT work:

 

USB 3 under Intel I217-V NIC and Killer E2200 NIC Ethernet Ports // Only function with USB 2.0 devices.

Audio Temporary fix in Update #1 above   Fixed in Update #3

Killer E2200 NIC Fixed in Update #2 above

 

 

 

This is the information I have been able to gather thus far whilst using Mojave.

 

I hope this helps someone in getting Mojave running on their system.

 

Regards,

Mohamed

Very nice, I have a similar system GA Z97 i7 4790k works great I used voodooHDAkext no problem works good, and I have a R7 265 (R9 270x -a few circuits).  HD 4600 also works. Everything works well E2200 kext from Mieze works great.    WiFi BCM 4360 ac.

Thank you. I wasn't at all surprised to see Mojave be so easy to install as its so similar to High Sierra. Congrats on your system. For audio have a look at my config.plist for the patches and also the kexts in the kexts folders. It should get you up and running without VooDooHDA.

 

P.S.

Did you get Mojave installed on HFS+ or APFS? I have managed to get it to install and not convert to APFS.

Thanks for the Update, will this fix USB 3 issues? I guess I'll find out and let you know :P

Not all ports running at 5gbp/s in 10.14

All ports work fine in 10.13 though.

Rear ports still only work with USB 2.0 devices in 10.14

You want to install Mojave on HFS+ partition?

The default Mojave installer will always convert to APFS with both hdd and ssd.

The only way to install Mojave on HFS+ directly is Mojave MBR HFS patch method (will never convert HFS+ to APFS).

Hi,

 

I have already heard of and used that patch to make it possible to install to HFS+. Thanks for the info.

Successful update to beta 2, ironically my Pentium g3258 with RX 480 went smoother than the i7 4790k R9 270x.    I had a hiccup on the I7 “macOS could not be installed on this computer” but I rebooted in -v -x and overcame it. The Pentium plowed right through the update no issues.
