macOS 10.15 Catalina is Now Available on the Mac App Store

Thank you for the reply .
how do i install those kexts if i cant get the os to boot? Is it possible that i have the wrong version of clover and thats why i get the black screen of shame?
Think the usb has 4930 and on the drive i booted to another dive and updated the catalina drive via clover conifg
my suggestion!!!! try first to update clover (lilu, WEG too) on your USB Installer, then you should able to boot Catalina from the USB :idea:
 
Updated all the kexts, added DSDT patch for EC and ...

I have the same. Boots fine and just before the login screen it goes black. Did you solve this?

Had the same problem when I removed the old kexts from /Library/Extensions. I'm still in 4934 and boot is ok for me. You should maybe check if you have the fakeSMC and other kexts in your /Library/Extensions, using the recovery mode, launching Terminal and doing an ls on /Volumes/[YOUR_SYSTEM_DISK]/Library/Extensions/.

If they are not here, just download them and extract the kexts from the archives and copy them to /Volumes/[YOUR_SYSTEM_DISK]/Library/Extensions/.

Direct upgrade from Mojave to Catalina using App Store. No issues so far. Took about 30 minutes total, of which about 20 minutes was just a black screen with HDD activity lights blinking. Patience is the key. Only preparations made were the usual create a bootable backup (I use CCC), update kexts (Lilu, WhateverGreen, AppleALC) using Hackintool. So far so good, no obvious issues as of yet. Thanks again!

EDIT: FYI, Clover version used is 4961

Just noticed something, not sure if this has been discussed, but Clover EFI backups have been moved to the "Relocated Items\Security" folder. Will Clover back up to this location moving forward??
 
Uptated and it worked excepted that now I have issues with my Rx 580 and no sound from my motherboard (spdif), i think the kexts are just not loaded now

Before I used 2 screens on the 2 displayport of my gpu, now only hdmi ports are working
Dp ports are still working in clover and during verbose but after that no signal

All my kexts are in the EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other folder, should I move them in Library/Extensions ?

I could boot from my CCC copy and could check the kext files. There are now 46 there...compared to 35 on my CCC (1 hour old copy). I replaced the 46 with the original 35. Also added lilu and whatevergreen under my Clover kexts...

...but result is the same. Black screen just before i should login.

Did you tried changing the port on your gpu ? We could have the same problem
 
All seems to work fine
