Tried every single USB port, same message. Trying a different jump drive. Older sandisk, now installing fresh with UniBeast to a new USB flash drive and will try again.
Created a clean vanilla UniBeast install on a newer flash drive. Had to do inject ATI and USB ownership, but it booted ok and...
Whatever is in the verbose log I posted 2 pictures of earlier. I understand some of this stuff, but not enough to know what's going on...black screen, ++++++++ signs and wont boot to installer.
Just finished updating to BIOS F12c.
The screenshots of the verbose log is attempting to boot from the macOS Catalina Install.
I have not even installed macOS yet...
I'm ok with the USB mapping that has been done on this specific posts build.
Thanks for your help!
Followed guide in post #1...so using Clover.
Gigabyte Z390 Auros Pro WiFi
i7 9700
32GB RAM
RX 580 Sapphire
BIOS: F11
Booting up I get the screen attached. I've tried onboard HDMI no RX 580 installed, and DP to DP with RX 580.
Used EFI from #1 post and copied "working config.plist" from later...

Just a note to say thank you to Stork for the detailed guide that works!
Had many issues trying to get a Dell XPS 8900 i7 6700k to work. Coil whine issues with Sierra, impossible to boot to High Sierra. Purchased a Hero VIII board as recommended in the build. Followed the instructions, only...
Curiously if I put in an old 8400GS NVidia card I get way more text and it seems to move along further...
Is there a way I can somehow save a log file of all that text that scrolls by so much smarter people than I can review it and suggest things? How do I save a logfile of the verbose mode...
Ok, recreated installer with Unibeast and tried legacy mode, that didn't work...at all.
For those with the XPS 8900 what did you do to get this to work?
Any other suggestions I should try?
Messed around for an hour trying safe made, no safe mode, drop tables, single user, just trying anything to get it to do something different. No luck as of yet...
ryuyap can you attach your config.plist from your High Sierra install USB so I can try that?
Can you also let me know what your BIOS settings are? I've followed other XPS8900 settings but maybe I'm missing something major?
Not sure what else I should try. I've tried CPU=1 checked and not...
