[solved] Asus Vivobook Pro 17 N705U - Installer stuck at boot

[pasteko]

I'm reinstalling, APFS scares me, I guess my next step is to install Clover into the SSD, should I use your version or the official?

I'm not testing recent sourceforge Clover... I use only my Clover builds...

Ok, ethernet is working fine, for now I don't need wlan, I'm trying to install Clover now.

Ok now it's booting Clover by default.



Is it normal that only 4 cores are detected?

For now I have no sound, battery percentage is 0% not charging and no touchpad.

It's very confusing for me what I have to do now, find kexts for what's not working or patch DSDT, in Clover or System???

Why would you expect something different?
The i7-8550U is 4 core.

Sorry in my mind it was 6 cores like the Desktop ones

Just found how to mount the EFI partition in Windows, is it possible to copy IntelGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu.kext from there or it has to be done from MacOs?

can you describe how to mount it?
i always fail using gpt formated uefi from osx mountain lion

1 - open a command prompt with admin rights
2 - launch the command "mountvol" without any arguments
3 - find the volume GUID of your USB EFI partition (it's one with *** NO MOUNT POINTS ***), be sure it's not your SYSTEM EFI partition
4 - launch "mountvol J: \\?\Volume{0000000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}\" (replace the 0s by your GUID)
5 - you can't use windows explorer to access the mounted EFI drive, use any other explorer like Multi Commander or explorer++ but don't forget to launch it with admin rights
