Nizzlay Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) First time trying an hackintosh, and I've been stuck like this for days now, nothing I try seems to have any effect. I can't even get the installer to launch.. My build: Intel i7 8700K Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Ultra Gaming 2.0-OP Gigabyte Aorus Radeon RX570 4G Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x 16GB) Samsung 970 Evo 500GB be quiet! Silent Base 600 be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 550W I've tried creating an install USB using this vanilla guide: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/ I seem to get to about 50% loading the installer. Then it will get kernel panic. Trying with macos 10.14.2. Here's a video of what happens: https://nizzlay.stackstorage.com/s/4r71CXWCenNCgX9 Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

SavageAUS Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 By uploading your clover folder and adding your complete specs to your signature you will receive help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzlay Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Thanks. I have updated my profile and signature. Also have updated opening post to include clickable links. Will upload clover folder when I get home. Also I will check which settings I've changed in BIOS, to provide some more information about that.

Nizzlay Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Attached is my EFI folder from USB stick. As for BIOS I've done this: Save & Exit >Load Optimized Defaults M.I.T. >Advanced Memory Settings Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) : Profile1 BIOS > FastBoot: Disabled BIOS > LAN PXE Boot Option ROM: Disabled BIOS > Storage Boot Option Control: UEFI Peripherals > TrustedComputing > Security Device Support: Disabled Peripherals > Network Stack Configuration > Network Stack: Disabled Peripherals > USB Configuration > Legacy USB Support: Auto Peripherals > USB Configuration > XHCI Hand-off: Enabled Chipset > Vt-d: Disabled Chipset > Wake on LAN Enable: Disabled Chipset > IOAPIC 24-119 Entries: Enabled Peripherals > Initial Display Output: PCIe 1 Slot Chipset > Integrated Graphics: Disabled All of that was what Google-fu told me. As an extra I disabled SATA, because I don't have anything attached to that anyway. But with either SATA enabled or disabled, didn't make any diffrence in booting.

Nizzlay Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks! This EFI is to be used in combination with the BIOS settings change? Or are they 2 seperate things to try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Combined please. Bios and new efi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzlay Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Not sure it's a diffrent error now, but still stuck before even getting into the installer. All I changed is boot option to include debug=0x100, to get better photo of error. Edit: I noticed it says VirtualSMC EFI module is broken. Could that be the problem?

Nizzlay Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Same problem still. I can still see it says VirtualSMC EFI module is broken. Not sure what else you want to see. These are some photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Do you have access to a Mac or hack to replace virtualsmc with FakeSMC? Don’t worry about sensors l. Make sure you also remove the other SMC related kexts (I think there’s 2). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzlay Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yes I have access to my old MacBookPro9,2. Replaced VirtualSMC with FakeSMC. No sensors. New EFI attached. Still error EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nizzlay Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I've read that before somewhere, but the option isn't available Tried both of these options, didn't change anything. I've also tried to disable CSM Support, didn't change anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I think the “other” option may appear with csm disabled? Have you switched back to using FakeSMC?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzlay Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I've read somewhere that Intel Optane is not compatible with hackintosh. The only way to get hackintosh working would be to remove it physically from your motherboard. Is that something I should try? And if I remove it. Should I put my Samsung 970 NVME in that slot?

I'm unsure of compatibility of optane. Yes you could try physically removing it. Changing slots for the nvme drive shouldn't be necessary but you never know. Then try this one.

Nizzlay Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 It seems Optane really might be the issue. I have changed boot arguments to include: nvme=-1 Now I got into the installer! Ofcourse I can't install anything yet because my actual storage is NVME also, so Disk Utility doesn't have anything useful to show. I will go unscrew everything, and get that Optane thing removed. Will try again without it, and without the boot argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzlay Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Intel Optane has been removed from motherboard. Used my own original EFI. Installer seems to work flawlessly so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once your all installed you will need to work out what works and what does not and optimise as needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
