OrangeMac Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I'm trying to install Catalina on my computer, but the Mac OS installation wizard will not show because it's giving me errors on the black screen.

OrangeMac Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Thank you for the EFI . It's not working yet. The computer is restarting. I tried to make a video, but the text unsharp to read it. So I uploaded a photo and the origin files. Maybe I need to change something in my BIOS? origin2.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aww Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Something to do with this EC and H_EC patch Search for this file SSDT-EC.aml Put it in Acpi/Patched should work on Asus MB, not sure about other MB. (SMBIOS, iMac14,2) Edited October 12, 2019 by aww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeMac Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 aww, thank you for your tips The installer is still restarting at the moment. I now have 2 files in my patched folder: CLOVER ▸ ACPI ▸ patched - DSDT.aml CLOVER ▸ ACPI ▸ patched - SSDT-EC.aml I also changed my SMBIOS to iMac14,2. Maybe I'm forgetting something?

aww Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 For the 2 years, I did not need any DSDT patch, clover took care of everything. Remove OLD EFI folder, reinstall Clover, copy kext, fakeSMC only. SSDT-EC.aml only (recent version) I did use Graphics Fake ID for iMac 14,2 (GT710 with gtx775M 119D. iMac late 2013 27” 2G Use SMBIOS 14,2, CsrActiveConfig 0x03E7 BooterConfig 0x28 It works with Mojove without SSDT-EC.aml (this needed on Catalina only) Reboot, likely to do with graphics. (try without any graphics, RX-560,570,580 GT710 etc, not need to for whatever.kext) This is my EFI config.sys on USB installer config.plist plus: Lilu.kext, USBInjectAll.kext, XHCI-unsupported.kext (not sure that make any difference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aww Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hehe, agree! last time that I needed DSDT was more than 5 years ago, 10.7,10.8,10.9,10.10,10.11 (EP43 Mb and older) since 10.12 (i7) never use DSDT anymore. Who knows, may be 10.15+ need to go back to use DSDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeMac Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thank you for the tips. I will try to play more with Clover. In the meantime, I would like to share my BIOS. Perhaps improvements can also be made to the BIOS. I don't have much knowledge of the BIOS, so all tips are welcome. Ai Tweaker Ai Overclock Tuner > XMP XMP > XMP DDR4-2667 16-18-18-34-1.
