CarbonUK Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Last year I tried on Sierra and eventually gave up after too many issues. I'm now back a year older (although I forgot most of the terminology) and an ssd richer so I decided to give it a go again. My specs: I7 7700K Gigabyte Z270 Gaming 7 Corsair DDR4 3000Mhz Gigabyte GTX 1080 As of right now all I have done is put OSX installer and clover on a USB, setup my BIOS for osx and then left the house. When I return I plan to try to install clover to the SSD and set it all up. I remember having to use verbose and boot arcs to enter the PC does anyone know which ones I will have to use. Also I've compiled all these kexts that I think I need: NvidiaGraphicsFixUp Lilu IntelMausiEthernet FakeSMC USBInjectAll XCHI-200-series-injector VoodooHDA NullCPUPowerManagement Shiki My question is am I missing anything? I remember DSDT but I can't remember what they do. Does it replace the need for kexts or is in an extra on top of kexts? Do I need a DSDT and if so are there any available for my config? PS: I have not configured my config.plist I'm using clover configurator is there anything I need to change from default for my setup? Thank you!

CarbonUK Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Just got home and tried booting Mac os installer for the first time. Unfortunately no luck it is just restarting. I've attached my EFI folder but its very stock i believe. EFI.zip Edited July 22, 2018 by CarbonUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then installed clover onto the ssd and put your efi over again and I got a kernel panic - It still works from the USB though. Also I installed Nvidia Cuda and Web Drivers and when first booting it froze see attachment but then it has been fine since restart. Edit: just tried booting from USB again and it booted but I'm stuck in the login screen as the keyboard isn't working and I can't enter a password. - It worked in clover screen Edit 2: Randomly started working again after 3 restarts??? Edit 3: Something mustve gone wrong when copying the usb EFI to ssd because I re-did it and it is working now! I guess all that's left is to figure out what kexts I need and what is / isn't working.

CarbonUK Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) So I've been using it a bit, installing apps and it seems to be stable! However there is no sound, I haven't tested sleep ect and the boots are still sluggish. Here is the EFI I am using if anyone can help EFI.zip Edited July 22, 2018 by CarbonUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also get sound through my USB microphone just not the Headphone port / 5.1 ports (speaker) on the motherboard Edited July 23, 2018 by CarbonUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonUK Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Ahh my windows install is now broken I won't boot into Windows boot manager. I'm clueless as to what is going on. In bios it shows my crucial ssd (windows one) to be bootable from Windows boot manager and ufei os and clover loads off of it. I didn't even think this was possible since I can write to the drive in mac. Edit: In clover it says it cant write to the crucial drive (M.2 SSD Drive) but ive ended up with clover installation? Edit 2: The EFI had indeed been installed on the M.2 SSD somehow. To solve i had to use a recovery usb, open up command prompt and use 'bootrec /Rebuildbcd' then use the repair this PC function. After that I gained access to windows. I then deleted the entire EFI partition and repeated the recovery again. The clover EFI is now gone and all is good (clover is still on the MacOS SSD) Edited July 23, 2018 by CarbonUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the sound options have now disappeared. Also on about 1/2 of the boots my keyboard doesn't work at the login screen. A restart or two usually fixes this and then i can login.
