Stuck at apple load screen

[CaseySJ]

Its already enabled

My final 2 suggestions:

1. In Clover Configurator, in the bottom right of the ACPI page there's a checkbox for PluginType. Try checking that on.
2. Try using a USB 2.0 flash disk between 8 and 32GB in size.

If boot still fails, please search the forum for "MSI H370M Bazooka" to look for answers from other owners of this board. The modified EFI from my last reply includes several modifications that will help you with the rest of the installation.

But hopefully someone with MSI experience will step into this thread to help you overcome the initial boot failure.

Did you enable XHCI Handoff or is it already enabled?

• From the progression of your Verbose Boot screen without any definitive known error , it looks like you have a problem with Graphics.
• Please upload your BIOS screen shots of Graphics Related Options you have chosen of Integrated Graphics.[See image]
• Your CLOVER/kexts/Other has no kexts to support Graphics -Lilu+WhateverGreen.kext+ [See image ]
• You may need config.plist Editing [See images]

So this is how my graphic related options look like(It looks exactly like the image you have posted when I change to PEG)
I also attached other configurations because I am not completely sure they are correct.
I reconfigured the plist as the pictures with the kexts you advised but I am still getting the same error that says there is no nvram variable(I am really curios about why this happens cause I am using EmuVariableUefi)

No verbose boot screen to support the above assertion.

Here it is

• I have uploaded edited Verbose Boot screen with annotations.
• For better help, Attach the ENTIRE CLOVER folder as zipped from the Disk that ended up with Verbose Boot Freeze.

I added Lilu and whatevergreen to the EFI folder
and this time I got this:
I also attached The EFI folder which ended up with boot freeze

Still your CLOVER/kexts/Other not edited as advised. Please check the uploaded image more carefully. Red arrows indicate things you don't need . Green indicates needed kexts to be downloaded and pasted

sorry my mistake!
This time I have done it correctly.
There is a line in verbose that says "cannot read pmu offset from smc"
I think this is the cause of the boot loop (I guess)

• Your CLOVER critical folders /drivers64UEFI and kexts/Other seem to look OK now.
  • I have no further suggestion to edit them.
• I will take a detailed look at config.plist SECTIONS.
  • In the mean time:

• Please tell us what type of Hard disk is your Target for Mojave?
  • SATA Platter Disk? SSD? or NVMe?
  • I saw in your Verbose boot a reference to Virtual NVMe controller.
• While you answer that I will take another look at your config.plist_ACPI and see if I can add any fix.
