Ah, tell me if this sounds right @trs96:
1) put the Nvidia card back in
2) uninstall Nvidia web drivers
3) power off & put AMD RX580 back in
4) verify the old system boots (no gpu trouble)
5) copy that old config.plist to the new usb efi
6) proceed with fresh install...
Wait a minute, I don't even know what version of macOS you are on now.

Right, I just qualified in my previous reply: I'm on an old guide install that had an Nvidia card and High Sierra. I just put in an RX580 and was going to do a fresh install (and then migrate my old config back over). My problem right now is that the default config.plist in this new Mojave guide doesn't seem to boot an AMD card (RX580) out of the box for the installer.

If you installed HS with my guide for that, yes you'll need to perform a clean install with Sniki's guide. It will be much simpler to just leave the 580 out and do the install with HD4000 graphics and then add the 580 in after you've completed install and post install. It will work OOB with the latest Lilu/WEG kexts.
 
Alright, I'll do that. I've got the video cards out now, but it's hanging 3/4 of the way through the white Apple boot loader using the HD4000 plist in the repo. Will need to push it over to verbose boot and see what's going on. Thanks.
 
Ah, must be hanging on the network adapter I installed as per recommendation that worked in your guide. "Setting BTCoex Config..." is where it hangs. I'll pull that card and see what changes...

Perhaps I spoke too soon, hangs here now:

This indicates a graphics problem. Are you connecting via the onboard DP output ?
 
That doesn't work. Must be a digital connection, DP or HDMI. On these DP is your only choice with iGPU. Do you have a DP to HDMI adapter ? A monitor with DP input ?
 
Yeah, I'll do that. I was a little worried about the integrity of the install USB given it was HFS+ so I'm in the process of rebuilding that right now after I'd hard powered it off a few times. I'll use DP and then report back... Appreciate it man.
 
I've created a graphic that @Sniki can add to post number one so his readers don't try to install with a VGA connection and keep "living in the stone ages." Or I could say the analog age. Apple dropped VGA support over ten years ago. Windows still has it.
