I created a Unibeast installation with Legacy Support with a MBR.

Every time I boot I get this error below all the time and I cannot boot. Clover shows a NTFS drive icon but this is a blank unformatted HDD. How could Clover be managing booting when this is fresh install on a similar motherboard I have of El Capitan installation which is a UEFI board.

I have a Z68X UD3H B3 1.3 on F12. UEFI BIOS flashing has been a bevy of checksum errors and I threw in the towel on that hrs ago just now. Would it be better to start from Sierra to High Sierra from a fresh install?

I have never encountered this much frustration setting up a new install since using hackintoshes 6 years ago.

Copy APFS.efi to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64/ and not to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/

It's not an error but logging generated by APFS.efi

Certain SATA controllers will have issues with AppleAHCIPort v329 (eg ICH10, 5 series, 7 series, ASMedia 1061) ---> Disks may fail to initialize, not readable or hot plug may fail.

Thank you for your help. I definitely copied it to the wrong drivers64 folder.
 
Did you ever get this working?

Not as yet because I installed Sierra instead and everything worked out except the gfx card I have so I havent updated to High Sierra as of yet. Currently still working out gfx card issues and will update to my High Sierra HDD separately to see if it works.
