Wow, idk how I missed that, sorry about that.@CaseySJ gave you links for instructions on how to do bootable backups on this post.

I should be able to test those drivers sometime over the next couple of days, along with a new Silicon Power NVMe (to test OcQuirks/FwRuntimeServices).You don't even need to spoof the subsystem-id to load the patched driver I posted yesterday. It works with or without the spoof.

OcQuirks / FwRuntimeServices Experiment
In our ongoing quest to find a truly viable alternative to OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000, we plan to compile and test OcQuirks with a number of different parameter settings. We'll consolidate the data here. If my system is one of the most finicky ones around, then hopefully a solution that works for me will work for most or all.
OpenCore is still in beta, it's evolving quickly, and still has a long way to go. For this reason I would advise against it.Today my Z390 Designare and 9900K were delivered, and I'm currently reading up on all the new hot stuff (so much has changed since 2012!). Since I'm doing a fresh install, and as I'm reading all these posts on OpenCore and that it's the way going forward, I'm thinking I might as well install with OC right now. So far, I haven't found a guide for this setup specifically, so I'm using guides I found elsewhere. Are there any plans of adding some OC stuff to this guide? Specifically, how I should set ig-platform-id in Catalina when going for a headless build? I assume that's the correct way for 10.15.1 using dedicated GPU and wanting optimal Davinci Resolve performance?
This is a good time to make a full bootable backup and test the backup by booting directly from the backup disk:
Once the backup is done and verified, then any remaining issues can be worked on. My fear is that if we start another flurry of troubleshooting activities at this point, we can end up corrupting the system.
- Press F12 at BIOS splash screen and select the backup disk.
- If the name of backup disk is Catalina Local Backup, then select this from the Clover Boot Menu:
- Boot macOS from Catalina Local Backup
Every little detail matters! Please see blue box. If we don't select the parent name of the destination disk (on left side of Disk Utility) then we won't get the three options shown in red box.Having a hard time figuring out the backup as Mac OS is not giving the option to set a GUID. CCC is saying the formating is incorrect as its not formated to be a bootable drive.
Damn, I've formatted so many drives prior to the changes that I must have missed that. Sorry, been using OS X since tiger and I guess thats new in Mojave? No excuse though, should have read it. But the copy is created and booting.Every little detail matters! Please see blue box.
