kisyu Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hello, my setup is a bit different from yours: - Gigabyte z370N - i5-8600 - Samsung EVO 970 - G.Skill 16GB - wifi BCM94352Z followed your exact instructions but stuck at booting from USB drive. When I boot up, I choose USB disk and get the CBM and choose install MAC from USB. I see a white apple logo for about few seconds and then it just reboots. Enabled verbose boot log, please see attached - i can't figure out nothing from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaxx32000 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 We should probably wait for the new Mac Mini 2018 macOS build as it uses HDMI 2.0 and DP while featuring the exact same desktop coffee lake cpus that we're using. currently downloading 10.14.1 build 18B2107 from apple to see if there is something of interest in there.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludufre Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hi everyone, I'm just going to tell you that I'm kind of abandoning this project. The macOS is only starting with the BIOS / EFI in the F1 version, but in this version I have problems with the memory modules that compels me to use F2 up. I tried all Aptio drivers imaginable, but to no success. From now on I will have to accept running macOS in Windows VMware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registracii Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Re: the DP here is how I got mine working on 2 separate instances. I may be helpful to someone. Went through the install process and all using the htmi, plugged the DP and I got the second display. Took out the hdmi and left with only DP display working. On boot the DP goes off...but if I wait few seconds till the boot process reaches the login screen turns on again and it works ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my macOS installer was stuck at ---End Randomseed----- too. I thought it was an issue with kexts or any files in driver64UEFI. I even spent 2 days blaming and resetting my BIOS, but I was wrong since the culprit was config.plist I made some changes in the config.plist file generated by Clover EFI Bootloader along with what was recommended in the OP. I don't remember the exact changes since I was just testing it out to make it work somehow. I even updated my BIOS to F10 & it works without any issue. Anyway, attaching my config.plist. Try replacing it with yours & if any luck it might just work. config.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaxx32000 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) This is my new Macmini8,1 config. Missing SMBIOS values are: FirmwareFeatures FirmwareFeaturesMask PlatformFeature BiosVersion I did add values in SSDT-2-A M I to match the original Macmini8,1 such as graphic-options AAPL,gray-value AAPL,gray-page AAPL,GfxYTile AAPL,ig-platform-id I also did remove Whatevergreen.kext. BIOS is still F5 (settings are unchanged from my previous post). The original Macmini8,1 was running 10.14.1 (18B75) with ig-platform-id 0x3e9b0007.

STLVNUB Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Typical of what happens when you loose your USB 2 or 3. Trying different USB ports sometimes will sometimes kick it back to life, meaning some USB ports may still be working. You need to make a custom SSDT for your USB ports or customise USBInjectAll.kext Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much! Finally I was able to start without getting stuck in the F1 BIOS, I am currently in F10! Now, as I like to learn things, I'm going to extract my original DSDT / SSDT and find out which patches you applied by comparing the .AML files. I like to leave everything documented. I'm just having problems now that my BCM94352Z wireless card and my NVME disk are not recognizing it, but I'll fix later. That is not a big problem. Thank you, again.

If you are using same SMBIOS as me then the problem is with de AMD graphic injection. With that I can not help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP and secondary eth work (needs modded FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext + SmallTreeIntel82576.kext) – running in dual-4k@60hz over here. Also added ig-platform-id through ssdt-2 and some cosmetics (built-ins, device names etc). Also all USB ports, including the front USB3.0 ones, work as expected. Credits to @MaLd0n for the initial patched dsdt-version. CLOVER.zip Did you ever figure out if you still need whatevergreen and FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext for the display port to work? Also, how is the Mac Mini 8,1 SMBIOS vs the iMac 18,1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi, i have a strange issue with HDMI audio (seems regardless of which port i use). i use an HDMI switch to cycle between various devices, one of which is my hack. if i put the hack to sleep without hdmi output connected, i have no HDMI audio after i wake up the machine. the issue persists, even re-attaching the cable wont help, so i have to reboot to get back sound. the issue can be replicated by simply unplugging the hdmi cable before the putting the machine to sleep. i am using layout-id=7 and the most recent versions of Lilu, AppleALC and WhatEverGreen (as of this post). I also played around with darkwave but this does not make any difference (currently set to 8). besides this issue, hdmi is working fine, even when i put the machine to sleep with leaving the monitor attached. i am wondering if u could do me a favor and briefly test the above scenario.
