Hi, I've updated my old hackintosh to Mojave from High Sierra. I updated Clover to r4813, and on my High Sierra config,plist I had to change the following for Mojave to work: On Kext to Patch for High Sierra I had:

<key>KextsToPatch</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
RYX2D5XCiciD4P5mhcl4D4TSdQs=
</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
iciD4P5mhckPmMFBCMyQkJCQdQs=
</data>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>External icons patch</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
RXh0ZXJuYWw=
</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
SW50ZXJuYWw=
</data>
</dict>
while in Mojave I use:

<key>KextsToPatch</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>#MatchOS</key>
<string>10.14.x</string>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>ALPM IO Error AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
QGACAA==
</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
AAAAAA==
</data>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>External icons patch</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
RXh0ZXJuYWw=
</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
SW50ZXJuYWw=
</data>
</dict>
otherwise the installer would not recognise my drives

The problem I have is that my drives are seen as external drives, with orange icons. I tried different stuff in Kext to Patch but no luck. I have to keep this section for the build to work and drives to be recognised:

<string>ALPM IO Error AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
QGACAA==
</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
AAAAAA==
</data>

It works the same with or without the External icons patch added, so basically the patch doesn't seem to do anything like it did in High Sierra.

I also installed AHCI_Intel_Generic_SATA.kext from the Mojave Multibeast, but still no luck.

My build is X58 Asus Rampage II Extreme, X5670 CPU, Kingston Sata UV400 SSD plus a few other drives.

Can you help ?
 
It says Rampage II Extreme under my config.
what's this about?

also upload your files if you need help
 
I didn’t even knew there was a very old config in my signature. Now itks fixed. I don’t have any files because the tool does not work for me.
why does it not work for you? it works for everyone else
