@casey System is running smooth. How can I turn off the verbose from appearing during start up and shutdown?

Yeah, I had heard people getting better benchmark results from iMac 18,1 given chipset similarities. I have also heard that some had an easier time getting the iGPU to do quick sync with iMac 18,3.

However, I cannot find the Device ID on those pages. I booted into the UEFI shell in clover and I don't get anything that looks useful when I do the mapping table. I could install Windows on here and grab the Device ID that way, but would prefer not to.

Regardless, it does not seem to be held up there anymore. It is still just hanging just after @kec.corecrypto 1.0

Device id find at: an idiots guide to Lilu and its Plugins. Link in my First post

The GTX 780 is natively supported so no changes would be needed. And no changes for the i9-9900K as well. Having said this, I have not personally tested my build guide with any NVidia GPU...

Did you make specific changes to the config.plist to enable your AMD GPU? Or is that GPU also natively supported, which should mean that I can take your config.plist and use it without any alterations?

The AMD RX is natively supported with no changes needed. So the config.plist that is created by following the screenshot-by-screenshot guides for (a) UniBeast / USB Install Disk and (b) Post-Installation should work directly for your GTX 780 and i9-9900K. This assumes you're doing a clean installation and there are no legacy Nvidia web drivers being migrated from High Sierra.

Great! To disable Verbose:

• Boot into Mojave normally and login.
• Mount the EFI partition of the Mojave disk by running Clover Configurator --> Mount EFI (just below TOOLS on the left side pane).
• Select Clover Configurator's File --> Open to open your config.plist.
• Select the Boot pane from the left side and uncheck the Verbose checkbox.
• Save the file and reboot.

Edit the config.plist and uncheck "verbose".

@CaseySJ - I installed windows to get the device ID. The device ID is 07B1. Vendor ID number is 1D6a -> Aquantia. This is in fact the same AQC107 from the iMac Pro.

Curious about the BIOS. Here's what my Peripherals page looks like. And by double-clicking the top Ethernet device, we get the second image that contains the PCI Device ID.


In addition to Device ID and Vendor ID, we also need to determine the Sub Device ID and Sub Vendor ID. Here's what these terms mean:

• Let's say Aquantia makes the 10GbE Ethernet chip. These chips can be used in Aquantia's own products or third parties can buy them for their own products. In both cases, the Device ID and Vendor ID will refer to the Aquantia chip.
• But if company "SmallTree" for example uses this chip in its own product line, then they will be the "sub vendor" of the chip. And the Sub Vendor ID and Sub Device ID will be assigned by SmallTree.
• So if we plan to use SmallTree's driver, the problem is that the driver will look specifically for SmallTree's own Sub Vendor ID and Sub Device ID. Sometimes only the Sub Vendor ID will be different (i.e. the Sub Device ID might be the same as the original Device ID).
• If this happens, we can spoof the Sub Vendor ID and, if needed, the Sub Device ID to match SmallTree's IDs. And then we can happily use SmallTree's driver.
• This is what was done to enable the Intel i211 Ethernet port on the Designare Z390. For this motherboard, the Sub Vendor ID belonged to Intel, but the SmallTree driver (that supports the i211) was looking for its own Sub Vendor ID.

So the next task is to see if you can determine the Sub Vendor ID and Sub Device ID for this. Hopefully you can find this information from Windows.

I've made a few other changes to your config.plist (added ACPI patches for USBInjectAll). This version may or may not make a difference, but it's worth trying (file needs to be renamed of course). Also, try moving your USB flash disk to one of the two black USB 2.0 ports on the rear IO panel if not there already.

High Sierra 10.13.6 should work, but in SMBIOS Macmini8,1 would have to be replaced with something older such as iMac18,1 or iMac18,2.

Thank you CaseySJ, sorry I am a very beginner here, what do you mean by replacing in SMBIOS "Macmini8,1" by "iMac18,1"... ? At which step of the installation, I mean ?

As mentioned by Stork:

Start out using the MultiBeast default iMac14,2 as it works with just about every system. Then, move to iMac18,1 (on-board graphics only) or iMac18,3 (discrete graphics card).

During Post-Installation we can change SMBIOS settings using Clover Configurator. The specific details are mentioned in the spoiler labeled Final Steps in Post-Installation (in build guide). If you look at all of the screenshots you will find one in which SMBIOS is selected in blue on the left side of Clover Configurator. Then from the pop-up menu (as shown there) you can select any of a bunch of different Mac models. But note the message from Stork above.

Thank you Stork for your reply, I will try in this order. I will let you know when I will do it !
