Hi Guys,

 

I was finally able to get my Catalina installer to boot using by changing EC0 to EC 4543305f 45435f5f. Huge headache with this as it took me a good couple of days to fix the error. 

 

The good news is I can make it to the installer but now the problem is now the Catalina installer gets stuck at 2 minutes with the error code showing disk25s1 is not convertible to APFS.

 

My Troubleshooting Steps:

 

- Tried another NVMe drive, with same results

- Checked Samsung Magician for updates, no luck

- Formatted the drives in Ubuntu, same exact installer error.

 

For some reason the disks always show as "Writable: NO" 

 

Hardware:

- Asus Z390-E 

- Intel i7 9700K

- Samsung 970 Pro

- 16GB Crucial 

- Intel UHD Graphics

 

Is there something wrong with my kexts or config? 

 

Thank You!
