[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

[ripe_md]

@Racke @xanderevo

Sorry for bothering, but I seems that I cannot get the IGPU into headless mode, because FCP still crashes during startup.

My system:

• i5 9600k
• RX 580 (PCIe slot 2)

BIOS:

• Version 1.4
• Peripherals - Initial Display Output = PCIe 2 Slot
• Chipset - Internal Graphics = Enabled

config.plist

• Devices/IntelGFX = 0x0
• Graphics/FB Name = Orinoco
• Graphics/ig-platform-id = 0x
• SMBIOS: iMac18,3 / iMac18,2 / iMacPro1,1

The FCP crash report is the same as described in another thread.

Any ideas?

Sorry to join the "I am having problems, please be my savior train", but I am to the point where I am wanting to pull my hair out and pay someone for some assistance.

My system:

Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme
i9 9900K
64 GB DDR4 3600 memory
Vega 64
Broadcom BT Chip in PCIe adapter

I have tried a few different methods. First a vanilla install, then gave up on that and decided to follow the guide here with the hope that the board would be similar enough. I successfully verified the creation of the USB and have tried both the config file created by the options listed and the config file in that came from OP. I have tried leaving the AptioMemoryFix-64.efi in place and deleting and replacing it with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi; however, every time, I can boot clover just fine, but once I hit enter to load the install macOS Mojave, I get an Apple logo and a progress bar that never gets past 1/10 of the way. Using verbose mode shows it hanging at random seed.

I am using Clover version 4674, which came with that version of UniBeast and some other people report problems with this clover version not booting, but I am all out of ideas. i would really appreciate any help - this machine was purpose bought for hackintoshing and I hope to not see this dream die.

Thank you all so much for your help and for this very well written guide.

I know and seen some proofs of this particular display working flawlessly with Alpine Ridge cards and on older chipsets like Z170. I found a video on Youtube where the guy is using his Gigabyte Z170 Designare and connect Apple Thunderbolt Display right to the Thunderbolt port of the motherboard. Display is recognized instantly and even shows the BIOS (!) and Clover (!) screens perfectly. No issues at all. How is that possible?

Plz Post that youtube link !!!

Here is the current EFI folder I am using.

Also, here is where it is currently getting hung up while in verbose mode

Happy to help.

The only somewhat problematic thing I saw is the use of Inject Intel in combination with WhateverGreen Framebuffer patching. Because your CLOVER/kexts/Other folder does not have Lilu and WhateverGreen, the best option is to remove Framebuffer settings and rely on standard graphics injection.

I've made the changes for you in the attached config.plist:

• Specified 3E9B8086 for IntelGFX
• Inject Intel enabled
• Platform ID set in Graphics pane to 3E9B0007
• Removed custom properties from Devices

I have a feeling you tried this before, but let's do it again anyway.

I'm surprised, however, that your boot sequence freezes at Randomseed, because that should be alleviated with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000 and slide=0, both of which you already have.

So let's try this config.plist and then take the next step as needed.

Also:

• What make/model/size of USB flash stick are you using?
• Are you installing Mojave to SSD in M.2 slot or SSD connected to internal SATA port?

Edit: Added config-v2.plist to try if config.plist does not work.

Upload your config.plist I'll have a look after work

First off, thank you so much - the kindness of the forum never ceases to amaze me (I really appreciate it). This is my first hackintosh (long time lurker) so you are definitely right to assume that I may have missed something super basic

USB: SanDisk Cruiser 32GB (a usb 3.0 drive)
Drive: Samsung 970 EVO 2TB which I am trying to install onto (NVMe drive)

Using config.plist you provided, I got hung at the following location (which is different than before, but if I boot without verbose mode, it still hangs visually about 1/10 of the way while loading). Trying V2 now and will respond back below.

Let's keep Verbose enabled for the time being (position of the progress bar is not very useful).

Is your display monitor connected to the Vega 64 or to HDMI port on motherboard?

 

[frickergg]

Ok, and V2 gets hung at the same spot as the original config.plist that I had in my EFI, just after @kec.corecrypto 1.0.
