isleeptill12 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hello, looking for some help on this install. I am following this guide: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/ The problem I'm having is that I can't get to the mojave installer. The loading screen with the apple logo gets to about 3/4 and stops. In verbose, I get Unable to open /var/dv/BootCache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory and Could not set environment. There should be a copy of my EFI folder attached to this post System specs are: HP Envy 750-177c Desktop IPM17 odense h110 motherboard Skylake i7-6700 16GB DDR3 RAM BIOS settings are limited but this is what they are set to: Boot Order - UEFI Boot sources • USB Floppy/CD • USB Hard Drive - Legacy Boot Sources • ATAPI CD/DVD drive • USB Floppy/CD • Hard drive **my sandisk usb stick shows up here** Device Security - System Audio (device available) - Network Controller (device available) - SATA0 (device available) - SATA1 (device available) - SATA2 (device available) USB Security - Front, Rear, and internal ports are all enabled Slot Security - PCIe 16x (enable) - PCIe 1x (enable) - M.2 card slot (enable) Network boot (Disable) System Security - Virtualization technology (VTx/VTd) (Disable) - TPM • TPM device (Hidden) Secure Boot Config - Legacy Support (enable) - Secure Boot (disable) • Key Management - Clear Secure Boot Keys (don't clear) - Key Ownership (HP Keys) - Fast boot (disable) OS Power management - Runtime power management (enable) - Idle Power Savings (extended) Hardware Power Management - SATA Power Management (enable) - S4/S5 wake on LAN (disable) Power-On Options - POST messages (disable) - After power loss (off) - POST delay (none) Bus Options - PCI SERR# Generation (disable) - PCI VGA Palette Snooping (disable) Device Options - Num lock state at power on (on) - Multi-processor (enable) - Hyper-threading (enable) - NIC PXE Option ROM download (enable) EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleeptill12 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Finally got into the installer! I was about to buy another motherboard for this thingThe problem was DVMT and frame buffer patching. The BIOS for this motherboard didn't have an option to adjust DVMT so I had to look for another method. Long story short, I had to add two properties under devices in clover:framebuffer-fbmem - 9MB for cursorframebuffer-unifiedmem - 2048MB for VRAMAdded those two and I'm staring at the install screen.Now whether it successfully installs or not....

You still can install with LOCK DVMT,, You shouldn't change your motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to use the voodooTSCSync kext because for some reason the CPU was going out of sync, causing all sorts or weird problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
