Lexies Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I had a working Mojave installation on my HP Z400 with clover and from a VMware image. (Because i had a Nvidia 8800GT with no Metal support.) I found a cheap AMD RX 570 card on the local market. So i did a reinstall with a clean Mojave version from de App Store. Before the new card everything worked fijne exept the video card. (My Englisch is not great sorry!) The hardware: HP Z400 Motherboard in standard ATX case. (Some powercable and other hacks needed.) Xeon W3520 (4 cores 2,67Ghz) 6x 2GB DDR3 non ECC Sapphire Radeon RX 570 4G Nitro+ SATA Harddisk BIOS version 03.61 (last) BIOS Settings: File\Default Setup Restore Factory Settings as Default (You may get some new options) Apply Defaults and Exit (Reboot) Storage\Storage Options Legacy Diskette - Write Disable Sata Emulation - RAID+AHCI Security\Device Security legacy Diskette - Device hidden Embedded Security - Device Device hidden Power\Hardware Power Management Everyting - Enable Advanced\Processors Hyper-Threading – Enable Install disk: Download the complete Mojeva Install App from de Appstor Make a install USB stick use the Terminal app and command “sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB -- /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app” Where USB is te name of the USB stick Install Clover v2.4k r4844 Change Install Location and choose “Install macOS Mojave” Customize Select: Install clover in the ESP Boot Sectors\Install boot0af in MBR Clover for Bios(legacy) booting\ Clover EFI 64-Bits SATA BIOS Drivers, 64 Bit\ApfsDriverLoader-64 (For Apfs in Clover) Everything else unchanged Install Open Clover Configurator And open config.plist from the EFI on the USB stick Select: Boot\Arguments dart=0 Graphics - RadeonDeInit Kernel and Kext Patches DellSMBIOSPatch SMBIOS Choose Mac Pro 5.1 Save Kexts: And place those kexts in Clover\kexts\Other (Zie Attachments) FakeSMC.kext (Mandatory) AHCIPortInjector_v1.0.0_Micky1979.kext (SATA) IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector_v1.0.0_Micky1979.kext (Fix SATA) NullCPUPowerManagement_v1.0.0d2_tgwbd.kext (Support CPU) VoodooHDA_v2.87.kext (Sound) And install disk is ready . My install was Mojave 10.14.2 and with succes updated to 10.14.3 Everything is working great de only problem i have found is Mojave sees 7 memory slots and there are 6 slots in the system. When i define te memory slots in Clover the problem is solved see the image. kexts.zip config.plist.zip Edited January 31, 2019 by Lexies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antialias Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It doesn't work here. My GPU works perfectly in Sierra, but can't boot to Mojave installer. I get black screen. I am wondering how come you don't have Whatevergreen and Lilu kexts?

jmvBMW Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Sorry about the necropost My z400 is driving me crazy... I had a few years a z400 with mountain lion and yosemite. I did a lot of succesful instalations. Then I bough a real mac pro 5.1 Then, sold the mac pro, and in current days, I need a desktop again, so bought another z400, for the sweet taste of past hacks... But I had failed miserably. I have followed your guide step by step, and always I get stuck in "bsd process name corresponding to current thread unknown"...attempting system restart .... mach reboot The differences between your z400 and mineÑ HP Z400 6x 2GB DDR3 non ECC XFX RX 580 8GB SATA Harddisk BIOS version 03.57 And about the installation, can found Clover v2.4k r4844... I used 4847, and last Mojave build, downloaded from app store, 10.14.6 Please!! I had googled a lot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clue? Edited December 3, 2020 by jmvBMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmvBMW Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) I have no longer a hackintosh... Because I got a brand new old stock 2010 5.1 mac pro!! BTW: the cause of no sleep issue is a cheap pc usb keyboard, which is causing the same issue in the real mac Edited April 6, 2021 by jmvBMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
